Dairy King — Restaurant in Oakley

Dairy King was cool. It brought back memories of childhood. They have an order board above the counter, not just that but the decor and ambiance brought me pleasantly back to a different time, when your burgers were served hot and your milkshakes were served thick and cold. It was very nostalgic and homey. The staff was great. They were courteous and very fast with their service. It was busy when I stopped by and they had my order done in no time flat. Oh yeah their French fries were amazing! Hot and fresh from the fryer with just the right amount of salt, outside crispy, inside like steaming hot mashed potatoes, man I wanna go back there soon. That's not to mention my chocolate shake was like the old school Wendy's Frosty, but better. It wasn't as frozen as a frosty but it had the perfect consistency and more chocolate than I should be allowed. Overall I would say whatever your doing near Oakley, KS check out Dairy King, not Dairy Queen she was dethroned by this leige long ago and banished to franchise...

Came here last year traveling from New York to Las Vegas. My wife and I got a flat tire and had to bring the car into Oakley. We were upset at first, behind schedule and it was getting late. Wed been driving for 16 hours straight. We had some weird looks thrown our way, we did not fit in haha it was obvious we weren't from Oakley. Hungry and depressed, we went to Dairy King and wow....the owner and staff were just the sweetest people and i felt like i fit in immediately. I cant express how accomodating they were; the hospitality and conversation were both so pleasant. We came by twice during our stay and to this day, a year later, we still talk about the amazing food, shakes, and people we met out there. Whenever a friend of ours is traveling across the country we tell all of them to stop in Oakley and go to Dairy King, and they never regret it. Thanks for the fun and the great food, and making a difficult time...

I was excited to eat here because little family-owned places like this are usually great. I got a double cheeseburger and tator tots. First off, the tots were the best part of the meal. They were great. The burger just wasn't good at all. It was dry and completely tasteless. It needed salt and pepper or something. I got it for takeout as I'm staying in Oakley on my way to Colorado. I wish I'd asked for salt -- and ketchup. I'm sure this place makes good food and I bet the ice cream is amazing. Like I mentioned, I expect a place like this to have great burgers. The price was good... double CB, tots and a large drink came to just under...
