Dairi-O

This place is straight up an old school burger and fries place. There are some unique options like the fish or hamburger steak plate. Pretty much it’s just a locals joint and everyone knows everyone. It’s probably my favorite place in Union but there are only maybe 10 restaurants here so take that for what it is!

Awesome!!! Reminds me of the local spots back home. I got the double cheese burger, all the way… keep in mind for this spot all the way includes a chili sauce on top (it’s good). The burger itself was huge! Big thick flavorful patties with 2 pieces of cheese. Basket came with slaw, and fries (or you can get ½ fries and ½ onion rings). Thought it was going to be tiny so I ordered a banana split for dessert. You even get to pick if you want soft serve or hand dipped for the split. I hope I get to venture back into Union again and stop by.

Good burger and onion rings. Mostly locals. Nice and attentive wait staff. Will definitely return.

Food is okay for a burger joint. A lot better than other fast food establishments in Union. However, they have the best peanut butter and chocolate milk shakes ever!

I love Dairi-​O! I’m not a meat eater but between them and Sugar & Spice in Spartanburg, my tastes are slowly changing. My daughter loves their ice cream but can only have it occasionally. Every once in a while, we stop in for a treat. The portions are huge! Beware of the grease though… I’m not a fan of greasy foods but they also have other items that cater to those of us that don’t like going the fried route. All in all, I can honestly say that I love this place.

Excellent fish sandwich, the fish was crispy and with an excellent taste. Service was great and friendly, a good meal for the price. Will recommend to anyone. I will be back for another one.

well at least its not still owned by odell, hell he at one time owned 3 – 4 restaurants so you cant really have a top notch place when you own half of town, its all the same when you do that, food is ok greasy as hell everything is fried, imo id rather have taco bell to be honest

I was told about this small, obscure burger place the first day I started work right outside of Union. I have to admit I was a bit hesitant to dive into this dive, because I have never worked in the vicinity of such a little-​populated town and simply did not know what to expect. What I discovered was a small burger heaven that transports you into another dimension as soon as you bite into one of them. Needless to say I was pleasantly surprised! I will even go as far as saying this place makes the BEST burgers in the whole wide world. The patties are thick slabs of meat and you have your choice of hamburgers, cheesburgers, bacon cheesburgers, double cheeseburgers (I have had competitions against big, burly men from the company I used to work with to see who can finish one of Dairi-O’s double cheeseburgers with fries and milkshake and the «trophy» belongs to me), chicken sandwiches, fish sandwiches, bird dogs (no, you did not read incorrectly, although I have never had one, I believe it consists of a hot dog and a chicken strip in between the buns plus condiments; heard it is very good), chili cheese fries, etc. And then there are the milkshakes. My favorite for the longest time has been the black cherry milkshake, which is utterly delicious. Other flavors include, vanilla, chocolate, peanut butter, strawberry (another company favorite), banana, and more. They also have sundaes and other ice cream creations. Their sweet tea is one of the best tasting as well. One other statement I can make is that as sad as I am to live 20 minutes away from Dairi-​O, my waistline is much happier! So, if you happen to drive through Union on HWY 176 and you get a craving for the classic American meal, take a quick detour to stop in and enjoy, because you will savor the memory. Cash only!
