Dairy Dip Diner - Van Buren

Our server was fantastic (I can’t remember her name) but the cooks at this restaurant need some training in how to cook. I ordered the chicken tenders with onion rings and okra. When the food came, my onion rings were very undercooked and I got french fries instead of okra. My lunch guest also got onion rings that were cooked perfectly fine. The server kindly took the plate back to the kitchen to ask the cook to cook the onion rings some more and give me some okra. When she brought them out to me, the onion rings were definitely cooked more, but the okra was so undercooked that I just left it on my plate. They were very short-staffed during lunchtime. We tried to encourage the server to be positive because she did a great job, but she was very frazzled I think. Trish made things right by offering a discount on my meal. I don’t know that I’ll be back, but if I am back, it probably won’t be because of the food. It will be because of the excellent service. Y’all should hire a cook they can handle a rush.

Man what happened to this place,used to be my favorite burger joint and now it's like they don't care about burgers anymore..soggy buns and the meat was just falling apart. Wasn't even a patty.. unfortunately probably won't be going back again.

We visited during an excursion on the Arkansas Missouri Railroad. Caught a ride on the complimentary city trolley. This is a classic American diner/dairy bar. We shared a bacon cheddar cheeseburger with tots. Wife had a hand spun vanilla milkshake. Everything was really good.
Old school traditional waitresses who were friendly, fast and efficient. We love to support and promote these types of establishments.

A cute little 50s themed diner!
I got the Marilyn Burger, which came with pickled jalapeno and nacho cheese with tots and an order of Mozzarella sticks. It came out quick and hot, and best of all it was delicious!
I also got a strawberry malt and got to try their peanut butter malt, both were very good!
The servers were very friendly!

I was so disappointed when I opened the container. It's old lettuce that is browning and my bell pepper was mushy like it was rotten. Also the bottom of the container inside has mustard in it so the container looks used in my eyes..I know y'all could have done better!

Love the 50’s🥰60’s decor! Diner is always super clean. Food is really good - decent price and good portions. Mainly burgers and sandwiches. They have an ice cream counter. Love the Oldie Goldies playing !!

Waited forever for food that wasn't good at all. Way over priced and had flies landing on us and our food the whole time. No going back

I waited over an hour for food.They didn't explain, so I had to hungry children in a restaurant for an hour waiting.I would not recommend

We came to town for graduation. The waitress was fine, but I noticed some concerning things in the kitchen. None of the cooks were wearing any protective gear. No hair nets. No gloves. They weren't even wearing nonslip shoes and were slipping and sliding all over the place. They were wearing aprons, but at one point, one of the cooks went to the restroom still wearing her apron. Once we got our food, it was super bland. Our daughter ordered the chicken nuggets and had to spit it out because it was so bad. Her dad tried it and he also spit it out. We definitely weren't impressed in the slightest. Would have rather gone to Whataburger or another fast food place.

Called in an order with a burger and chicken, was told 20 minutes, arrived to get the food and was told “oh it will be another 10-15 minutes” while on the inside there was maybe 3 tables with people who had already gotten their food. Finally get the food after waiting 20 minutes inside. 0/10. Food was no where near worth the 45 minute wait.

I had a huge Facebook post looking for the biggest best chicken fried steak in the area, everyone recommended the vault. they have a huge one for a great price. Dairy dips is much smaller, but it taste excellent compared. I'd recommend the chicken fried steak dinner to anyone over the vaults. maybe next time I'll ask for a double order of the chicken fried steak 😂

This place used to be awesome. What the hell happened. I got the Elvis burger and onion rings. And that was $15. Coworker got a cheeseburger and fries. $10. Burgers were tiny. Fries were small and cold. And the 3 soggy falling apart onion rings were terrible. We used to like eating here. Never again.

Didn't even stay long enough to order our drinks after the waitress's attitude.

My family and I used to go there and thoroughly enjoy the atmosphere, the food and the service. The last couple of times we were there, I can longer say that is true. I had an hour and a half lunch break, so decided to go there for lunch. I waited at least 15 minutes to place my order and I ordered a burger to go for my daughter. I waited 30 more minutes for a salad and that was after I had to go find a waitress and also had to wait for my tea. I asked at least twice if my food was going to be ready soon and the waitress was very rude. I finally told them I either needed my order or would have to cancel and leave. I had to get all of my order to go and had to take it back to work with me.the food wasn't even that good and was cold by then. Haven't been back since

The food is always fresh and flavorful. Great prices and service. We would love to see half and half or even liquid creamers for the coffee. Until then I will bring my own creamer.
