DAP’S Ice-cream, Burgers, And Fries

Good food, very nice staff and cheap prices. They give you HUGE portions for the price. Food is a bit fast-​food generic but that’s to be expected for this type of cuisine. We like the sides like the cheese fries best. The jukebox was a nice addition and set more of a nostalgic feel to the place.

With Dap’s, it seems like the owners are definitely trying, but they need to do a lot better to get repeat business.
I had dinner here with my father, and we both had the burger that came with BBQ sauce and onion rings on it, and we each got a small order of french fries. The burger was all right, but not stupendous. It was decent size, and there was a toppings bar in order for you to outfit the burger as you wish. Not bad for the price you pay, but nothing to write home about. The french fries, however, were awful. They were skinny and limp, and got cold very quickly. We did not get any ice cream.
There were a few other things not directly related to the food that cause me to give this facility a lower rating. First, the burgers were served on tiny paper plates. Carrying the burger on this tiny plate to and from the toppings bar had me genuinely concerned that the burger would fall over in transit. There were also issues with supplies at the time of my visit. There were very few cups for ketchup out for use (my father and I took the last two), and there were many, many lids. It is understandable that a dine-​in patron would not take a lid, creating a surplus of lids, but lack of cups is ridiculous. When I go for more ketchup, I expect to use a clean cup for it, as reuse of the existing cup is unsanitary. Additionally, a sign was posted near the drink fountain apologizing about a lack of lids for the drink cups. I find it inexcusable for a foodservice business to be out of lids for cups, to the point where they have to post a sign about it. There should always be lids. And lastly, Dap’s had wi-​fi for customer use, but it didn’t work.

We had heard and read a lot about this place and decided to give it a try and we’ve now added it to our list of local places to eat. Great food and ice cream! Yum!
=== THE GOOD ===
Food. My wife and I had burgers and our little one had chicken strips. The burgers were well seasoned and tasted much like you would expect from a diner joint: delicious! I actually mistook the chicken strips for fish when I saw other people who had them and once our daughter’s food came out I realized that was because they don’t put a ton of breading on the strips; just enough to keep them crispy and still allow you to still eat chicken.
Prices. The prices are VERY reasonable. Our family got the burgers, chicken strips, fries, and onion rings for $ 15.79. We later added on two double dips and one single dip ice cream cones for $ 10.24. So, complete meals with dessert for a total just over $ 25. I’ll take that everyday for how good the food was!
Ice Cream. Yes, this is different from food and it’s because they have a TON of ice cream flavors. They may even have more than a certain 31-​flavor chain, but I didn’t count, so I can’t be sure. Still, there are plenty of options for dessert (or a meal if you get a triple dip!) and the flavors are appropriately varied while still offering some options to try something new.
=== THE BAD ===
Seating. The biggest issue this place seems to have is a lack of seating when they get busy. We heard a couple of families talk about having to get their food to go because there was no seating available. They could probably make the line area smaller and add a few more tables and that would help for their busier times.

We went in for ice cream and loved it. We try to get homemade as much as we can, but there really is something wonderful about Hershey’s ice cream. Dap’s serves plenty of it and has a ton of great flavors, particularly some of the harder to find selections that our kids are always looking for. Great choices and prices, quick service, not crowded, and a clean joint with lots of seating. We have been back and will keep on going!

Dap’s is delightful, and though the menu is limited, what they do make is delicious. The burgers are very good. They have a very solid fixins bar and the space is airy and clean. The service is extremely attentive! At one point, I had someone give me a refill because they kept offering.
A word of warning: order the small fries unless you’re feeding your whole extended family. These aren’t McDonalds portions.
We didn’t get the ice cream despite our best intentions and the impressive selection of flavors. We were stuffed.
