    Dots Dario

    When we were driving back from the mountains with my family, my sister asked, "Can we stop at that ice-cream place near Old Fart (she meant Fort)?" At 2pm there was a line of about ten people, which usually suggests that your in for a treat. Anyway, Dots Dario is a great place to stop for a treat and a little bit of history. It's been around since 1970, so anyone from the area will have memories. We all enjoyed our ice-cream on waffle cones, while our dad took a trip down memory lane.

    Amazing taste, price a bit high.

    Nice, respectful cashier. Ice cream was delicious and exactly what was ordered. Only took about 5 min. to get what was ordered.

    Tried to visit, but was closed on a weekend afternoon... go figure! One of only very few ice cream places in the Lake James region!

    Best ice cream in NC. I've rode my motorcycle from Charlotte to get it several times.
