Morgan Hill icon serves its final milkshake and burger

Morgan Hill icon serves its final milkshake and burger

By Brittney Sherman

From ice cream and milkshakes to burgers and fries, Dari Delite Drive-In has been a Morgan Hill fan favorite since 1978. Family owned and operated by the Kim family since day one, they have served the community with a smile and a kind word for more than 47 years. It was with a heavy heart that we learned of the Kim family’s sale of Dari Delite earlier this year. The Kim family and the quaint building with its nostalgic diner vibes have become an icon of Morgan Hill that will never be forgotten. A heartfelt “thank you” to the Kim family for their dedication and commitment to the Morgan Hill Community and best wishes on their next adventure.
