The staff is super friendly and answered any questions we had. The biggest plus was the dairy free ice cream! I didn't see it on their menu so I asked a server and was so happy to see they had vanilla, coffee and chocolate cookies and cream all dairy free. I am so happy to find a place that serves delicious dairy free ice cream. They accept cash and credit cards for payment and have a nice size parking lot. Seating is also available inside. I will definitely return!

Their medium size sundae was so big, I can't imagine what the large would look like! Certainly enough to feed two people easily. With so much competition on the nearby Island, they're worth giving business to!

When I went up to pay I dropped some toppings and the cashier rolled her eyes at me, so I got a garbage can and cleaned it up myself and they didn't say a word to me the whole time.

Do NOT sleep on Big Dipper Ice Cream! This place blew my mind with the amount of ice cream flavors…read morethey had to offer. I made the mistake of coming here solo and then having to call hubby to read to him alllll the flavors because I couldn't dare do that for him. One flavor sounds better than the next - strawberry cheese cake - what?! Moosetracks? Yeah, i'm gonna need that too! Then they trip you up with toppings! Too many decisions! I'm on vacation! I opted to get two scoops for each of us because no one walks outta here with just one. I got the strawberry cheesecake and moosetracks - a deadly sinful combo, while I got for hubby pistachio and cookies n' cream. We didn't come up for air while eating these! I found these flavors to be far superior to Ship Bottom Ice Cream - yes - I said it! There's a reason why everyone comes here as soon as the sun comes down. It's a great little family establishment with the hardest working teenagers and young adults I've ever seen. Sit on the benches outside or drive back to your beach rental and enjoy while watching the sunset. HUGE fan!

Go here for the best ice-cream on the island and huge generous portions! We've been coming here for…read moreyears and keep coming back despite trying many other ice-cream joints on the island. This is our go to!! I love the coconut icecream with rainbow sprinkles and get it everytime. HUGE Generous portions and toppings!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE that they put sprinkles at the bottom of the cup before your ice-cream is scooped to ensure you get sprinkles in every bite! This is a key differentiator that will bring me back every time!! With this "small size" barely anyone is able to finish it...they say it's two scoops but you know no scoop like the Big Dipper...it does live up to its name! If you ever saw the movie Uncle Buck the best way to describe the portions if you imagine how it was when uncle buck has to "eat and finish the grizzle" for the steak eating competition and it's nearly impossible! I used to get a lid and would save 1/2 in our freezer when we were staying in Harvey cedars but now we are further away so that's no longer an option. TIP: After several years of ordering the "small" (which is anything but small) I noticed they have a "Little Dipper single scoop" option and went this route this time without whipcream or the cherry...which was a smart choice...as it was still a generous portion but I was able to finish it this time! Before, I felt like I was often unable to finish the "small" and felt bad throwing out 1/2 the ice-cream...every time...there's so much wasted. One time I told my son to just give me his mint chip before he threw it out because it's really a big enough portion for two to share. If I was having a birthday on the island I'd like to have an ice-cream cake from here bc Johnny's cakes look like the best ice-cream cakes I've ever seen outside of cold stone creamery. I'm always blown away at the people who order anything other than a small or even the banana splits which offer a ridiculous and obscene amount of dessert. The milk shakes also look amazing if you're into them. The only heads up I'd say is if you have a peanut allergy be careful because I did wind up with a few Reeces pieces in my topping which was actually a nice surprise/accident for me but might not be for everybody esp if you have an allergy. Kids bring your quarters! One other watch out: If you get a blue gum-ball make sure it's the cerulean lighter blue color vs the dark royal blue so you don't get your hopes up about getting a free ice-cream as was the case for us! The staff is always kind even though they have a huge line! No shirt, no shoes is no problem! However the floor is sooo gross and sticky I'd highly recommend wearing footwear!

Theres a small area for seating inside and the staff is really friendly and sociable. I've gotten milkshakes, soft-serve cups, and takeouts.

My personal favorites were espresso chip and coffee royale. Would definitely recommend before they close seasonally!

I had the orange twist (which is a staple for any summer night down the shore), and it was disgusting. It tasted like orange chemicals and there was so much food coloring in the ice cream that it stained my tongue orange. My whole family all purchased the same thing and we ALL threw it away. They do have ample seating outside so maybe their other hard ice cream is better but I wouldn't recommend the orange cream. The inside seemed dirty and nothing fancy. Service was friendly so that was nice but I won't be coming back here. The Orange creamsicle at Rita's is actually WAY better.
