You may not be able to travel back in time, but you can get pretty darn close at Dairy Kream. For decades, the drive-in has been serving up hearty helpings of nostalgia in the form of fast food eats and delectable sweets. Take a look:
In business since 1955, Dairy Kream is a Tupelo landmark…and a longtime local favorite.

Throughout the years, not much has changed at Dairy Kream – and that includes its appearance. It’s exactly what you’d picture when thinking of an old-fashioned dairy bar or drive-in.

But its looks aren’t the only thing that’s remained the same. There’s also the tasty short-order fare that customers have grown to love.

BBQ, sandwiches, hot dogs, onion rings, French fries, and burgers are just a few of the items you’ll find on the menu.

Though each item on the menu is as tasty as the next, it’s the drive-in’s trademark soft-serve ice cream that customers can’t get enough of. Enjoy the sweet treat in cones, malts, shakes, banana splits, and more.

Like the classic drive-ins of yesteryear, orders are placed at self-service windows. And remember, since it’s a drive-in, there’s no indoor seating. However, there’s plenty of parking, so you can opt to eat in your car.

You can also grab a seat at one of the outdoor picnic tables, which are situated under an awning to provide protection from the sun and rain.
