Dari-Licious Menu

Sorry, We are updating this restaurant menu details.

  • Anna O.

    Start with the most unusual feature - a kids' playground/ park just for Dari-Lucious customers. A great idea! A drive-through or walk-up dairy bar with a menu that will put you in despair over making a choice, especially if you are out if town and do not know when you are coming back next. Shakes, malts, smooshies, slushies, sundaes, dipped cones... Sampled a strawberry chocolate dipped cone and chocolate shake - delicious, although pretty runny - best to eat while the kids play at the Turtle Park.

    Good place for frozen treats. Actually, one of the few in Crawfordsville that have a variety of eats to choose from. They dont just sell ice cream but have a decent selection of American style cuisine to choose from if you are more hungry than you are looking for something sweet. The BBQ pork sandwiches are pretty good. As far as the ice cream goes, its all pretty mediocre. Nothing too special but they have decent prices. Pic-nic table seating outdoors with a little playground area for the kids. They do have a drive-thru if you dont want to mess around with getting out of your car.

    Highly overrated and overpriced. Milkshakes are too thin and not enough ice cream, not to mention some of the staff are snobby and unfriendly.

    Nothing makes me happier driving through Crawfordsville than seeing the Dari-Licious sign lit up. Like a beacon, it draws me in every time. Opening in the middle of the polar vortex, I can remember times in the past where there has been snow on the ground, and I've been bundled up in the car munching on my ice cream. Today was one of those days. As much and Levi and Lacey wanted to run and play on the jungle gym at Turtle Park, and as much as they begged and pleaded, we stayed in the car where it was warm eating our sundae's and slurping our shakes. Okay.. so maybe they were just as cold as the rest of us and didn't even bat at eye at Turtle Park.. or maybe it's because you could barely see it over the mound of snow that had been plowed from the parking lot. Either way, we were there for the sweet frozen treats and not the playground (this time.) This year marks the 50th anniversary of Dari-Licious being open. To thank their customers, DL will be offering various 50% off specials throughout the year. That's what the sign said anyway, although it didn't elaborate on what the current special is. Maybe they're just trying to start some buzz about it.. I grew up with this place. When I was in preschool (I think I was 3) I remember walking down in a single-file line with Sister Mary Clarence (okay, I can't remember her name.. but she was a nun..) leading us for orange sherbet ice cream. I also remember Grandma and Grandpa loading us up in the mini-van and taking us for ice cream some evenings here. It's one of my favorite childhood memories. Ironically, now *I* load Grandma up in the car and take her for ice cream. A lot has changed, but the Dari-Licious remains the same. Shine on Dari-Licious sign.. like a beacon for those of us who need ice cream!

    I love the creaminess of their soft serve! It's delicious. I am not usually a milkshake or sundae type of person, but the ice cream at Dairy-licious is so good, I can't resist! If you are looking for hard dipped ice cream or food with your ice cream, this is not the place for you. They have minimal food options and no hard dipped flavors.

    Best of C'ville status. I always looked forward to the first Dari-Licious trip of the season as a kid for a Smurf cone, and did as an adult coming back to C'ville when I lived away. I have graduated from a Smurf to the Bumble Bee Shake - made with real bananas and drizzled with a heap of hot fudge. The young folks they hire are always friendly and efficient, too.

    Ok, well D L is a staple here in cville. I grew up eating their coneys and ice cream ( choco twist, turtles, slushies) but there is one problem there and that's the people they choose to hire. Young, rude and know nothing about running a business it seems. I hope they hire older staff with better manners this coming season. Otherwise .. Big Dipper here we come.

    I gave this place a chance, and actually visited on one of my very first days in Crawfordsville. But after discovering Big Dipper and enduring a full year of raving about Dari-Licious, I did the only thing a responsible Yelper could do: I rounded up a few pals (including Ross M. and Jacob P.) and embarked on a taste test. We did it totally scientifically. We came up with a list of fairly standard food items that could be found at both (burger, Coney, fries, milkshake). We sent a search party out to each place at the same time, so that the food would be equally hot. We met in a neutral location. And we sampled away! The result: We were unanimous that each item was better at Big Dipper than at Dari-Licious. Dari-Licious was apparently surviving on reputation and low standards, and maybe by the fact that it's on a busier road. But we all agreed that the winning item in each category was the one from Big Dipper. Take a minute to reflect on this. It's not like one of us thought one thing and another thought something else. It's not like DL won in even a single category. And it's not like it was even close. So if you want a burger, fries, a Coney or a milkshake, take a dip down to Big Dipper. Otherwise, you might as well just keep driving to Lindy Freeze. q. e. d.

    I think this is your best bet in the 'ville for ice cream. I grew up here, and every time I'm home, this is the place I go back to. It's not fancy. The girls still wear those white pants you can see through. But the ice cream is standard soft serve, which I can rarely find on the East Coast (it's always custard out here). My favorite is a chocolate ice cream soda (ice cream mixed with a bit of chocolate syrup, then mixed with soda water, and then topped with a dollop of vanilla ice cream). It's a treat that I'm way too young to even know about, but since I worked in an ice cream shop growing up, it's something I tried once and loved. They are known for their speedy service, and back in the 90s, the fact that you had to include your photo in your application. No ugly girls at the D-L, I guess. :) Oh, and you can swing at the Turtle Park until you drop your ice cream cone down your front and get ticked off about it.

    A group of us came from Turkey Run State Park and this place was definitely a good value and kid-friendly. Plenty of parking, fast service, and an adjacent private park for the kids. The ice cream treats were great. We also went to Big Dipper and tried it but everyone agreed hands-down that Dari-Licious was a better ice cream experience.

    A Crawfordsville tradition! The only reason I'm giving them 4 stars as opposed to 5 is that, you'd think after over 50 years of being in business they could at least ask to those going through the drive-thru, "Would you like a lid for your sundae?" They should never assume that one is going to eat their sundae in the parking lot or at Turtle Park. Anyway, one of the only good things about Crawfordsville. Always wanted to be a Dari-Licious Darling when I was younger.

    "The 'Lish" is the spot in C'Ville to get a great ice cream of your choice. I used to get the female turtle, which often confused the girls taking my order. All it is is a turtle ice cream without the nuts. After awhile, they seemed to catch on (I am fat, so I was here often). I always loved everything they had (even their chili was good). This place is a C'Ville staple and was often the best study break I got at Wabash. The staff is all local girls that make it easy to order in a hurry. Whether you go through the drive-thru or up to the window, this place is great and fast.

    This is it. The shakes are tasty. The lime slushies are tits if you ask for a little extra syrup.

    I still really love the shakes here. They are thick and creamy and come in tons of different flavors. I have never experienced rude service here, they do tend to hire attractive teenage girls but they have never been anything but nice to me. And they are open full time in the winter now! Ice cream in January is a must.

    Love this place. Great ice cream. Their sandwiches are good. They have a good variety of food and the prices are very affordable. They don't have a sit in area but they have a cute park connected to the building that is perfect for little ones.

    I will drive 15 minutes to go to Lindy Freeze in Linden. I don't care for their rude service. I've been treated rudely both as a customer and as a professional when dealing with the Dari-Licious for business matters. In a small town, it's not a good idea to treat your customers with disrespect. Escpecially when you have a decent product.
