Nice selection of ice cream for a jersey shore evening. I had a soft serve vanilla sundae. Good stuff. Would visit again.

Love, love, LOVE Skipper Dipper!!! It's been a family favorite for many years and we visit multiple times during our LBI stay. I would not get ice cream anywhere else! Last year, Skip really kicked it up a notch with the pineapple whip soft serve, it is SO. GOOD. On the recommendation of one of the dippers, I twisted the pineapple whip with vanilla soft serve. Best ever!! I am craving it right now! Speaking of the dippers, they are so great! They get the lines moving quickly and are also so friendly! If you love Skipper Dipper as much as I do, don't leave without a shirt. I have two that I love wearing at home in PA (proudly, of course). They're also super soft and comfy, and of course remind me of great times at LBI! =) read more

Parents of young children: do NOT let them make the same disastrous mistake I did. The same glorious, delicious, mistake I did. It began when I decided a cone would be easier for the 'ol walk n' eat. Obviously a waffle cone is the only true option. My second tactical mistake was being too clever by half and having the troop of ice cream workers sandwich hot fudge between my two scoops of moosetrack. "Why didn't you just skip the hot fudge?" Did that thought go through your mind? You disgust me. The final, fatal error was calculating that the ice cream would freeze the hot fudge, instead of the hot fudge melting the ice cream. The late August humidity sealed my fate. The first few steps and licks were delicious and uneventful, but I knew the initial drip that struck my hand was foreshadowing the catastrophe to come. The faster I consumed it, the faster she melted. Eventually the drips merged into a stream, then a deluge. Then the first crack struck. Part of what made the waffle cone such an essential choice was their homemade authenticity, as if they were poured, rolled, and hardened earlier that day. But that same country appeal also compromised their structural integrity. One of the display models had a hole in it. Another had a swath of near translucent batter, it was so thin. This would be my undoing. Like the terrible volcano that struck LA in the movie, "Volcano", the hot fudge didn't just melt the ice cream, it began cracking the cone. First a piece at the top, then a lightning break down the seam, finally, there was no cone, only icebergs of waffle struggling to hang onto the fast retreating ice cream. By the end, I needed both hands to finish the amorphous blob of goop that remained, but I did finish. And it was delicious. I'd do it again. read more

The best team and ice cream in LBI!! The line looks long, but lives lightning fast. Lots of places to sit and enjoy your cold treats. Tons of flavors. :) read more

First of all: dairy-free options for the win!!! From our phone call ahead to check, with excellent customer service, to orders taken in line to expedite the process, to countless flavors and options all scooped with a smile, to DOLE PINEAPPLE WHIP swirled with coconut-milk soft-serve, to handi-wipes and temporary tattoos delivered as we relaxed outside... we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Store was clean, tables and benches as well (and that takes work on a busy night!). Having worked at and frequented plenty of island businesses (and driven by countless times thinking it would be less than stellar quality and/or typical touristy hype) we are so glad we stopped in. This ice cream hot spot ranks among the very best. Thank you, Skipper Dipper! read more

Skipper Dipper - Dole pineapple whip with coconut milk soft serve swirl- yum! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Long Beach Township, New Jersey

As a vegan, treat options are few and far between on the island. I was ecstatic to find out that Skipper Dipper offers So Delicious Dairy-Free vanilla ice cream - it hit the spot topped with crushed Oreos. I'm so happy to be able to get ice cream out at an actual ice cream shop and not from the supermarket. The service is friendly and portions are big, and the staff does a good job of keeping the line moving. read more

I scream, you scream, we all scream for awesome. I love this place. My parents used to take us every summer when were little and it just reminds me of my childhood. This past weekend, I came back here with my parents and 5 year old sister, pleased to see that it was just as great as I remembered. One of my favorite things to get in the summer is chocolate hard shell over soft serve ice cream. Perfection! My sister ordered a sundae, and it was as big as her head (and she ate every last bite!). Great ice cream, great prices, friendly service, summer bliss. read more

Ice cream is very good. Variety is large. The kids working there hustle as the crowd on weekends can be 60 people or more deep. Always busy which tells you it is good. read more

If you want to taste great ice cream go to Skipper Dipper reasonable prices and cool flavors to choose from also they make their own waffle cones! read more

Skipper dipper is a phenomenal business. To start the ice cream is the best I've ever had. Before covid they had an amazing system. Since the ice cream is a hit on the island and everyone goes the lines are extremely long. With that being said, they do a great job of having enough employees that they came outside to take your order and bring it out to you so your really not waiting on this extremely long line. Since covid, things have definitely changed and you aren't able to order single servings of ice cream but the ice cream is so good and definitely worth trying! read more

There is a long line for a reason. The ice cream is amazing and there are so many options. The line moves quickly also and they are very efficient. There are several alternate choices and both soft serve and hard ice cream available. I definitely recommend. read more

Best ice cream place on the island. Don't be worry if you get here and the line is long. They will move you through quickly. Good selection, good price and very generous portions! read more

Skipper Dipper - Peanut butter ice cream with hot fudge - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Long Beach Township, New Jersey

Long lines are well managed and move quickly. Generous ice cream scoop. Our favorite ice cream place on the island

The best ice cream spot I've ever seen. Tons of flavors and a lot of soft serve flavors. Toppings are fantastic and they are VERY accommodating. We went four times in one week just to get the punch card filled. Worth the price of admission. read more

Great place to grab ice cream or water iced at night. Even if there is a line, it moves quick. Be careful of the waffle cones and melting ice cream as they have plenty of holes for it to leak out. read more

LARGEST selection of ice cream I have EVER seen. This place has been an LBI staple for almost 40 years, but this summer was my first time visiting the famous ice cream joint. As a big ice cream fan, I was eager to see if Skipper Dipper lived up the the hype. The menu is a bit overwhelming because there are probably hundreds of options to choose from, but that also means there is something for everyone. Don't let the line down the street scare you away. They literally have an army of "certified dippers" working to take your order and have it ready by the time you reach the front counter. I probably waited about 15 mins total in line at around 10 PM on a weekday in August. As for the ice cream, it was really good. Not the best I have ever had, but definitely not the worst. My brother had a cookie dough milkshake and was slightly disappointed because it was mostly milk and not as thick and creamy as he would have liked. Definitely choose from one of the many hard ice cream flavors instead of the soft serve. Overall worth the visit once a year when in LBI. read more

The Dip is the bomb. Stand in line and feast your senses. Worth the wait. Best ice cream on LBI

Skipper Dipper has become a family tradition. It's our last stop on LBI after weeks at the shore. Staff is always friendly, selection is awesome. My fav is the black cherry chocolate chip lo-fat yoghurt. Kids love the floats, chocolate comes and most of all the tattoos! read more

We book a day trip to LBI from PA every year JUST FOR THE SKIPPER DIPPER! We love this place and look forward to our visit at the start of every summer! read more

Skipper Dipper is a pretty decent ice cream place in the heart of Long Beach Island. Be prepared for long lines (sometimes out the door) that usually tend to move quickly. They have 99 billion (slight exaggeration) types and flavors of ice cream and toppings, etc. The shakes are really good and so are their italian ices. This place has been around as long as I've been going to Long Beach Island and that is years and years. The ice cream and the long lines have not seemed to change so they must be doing something right. read more

Ok so after seeing the lines being atleast a hundred people deep on multiple occasions from driving by I decided to stop for some ice cream in September with no line... so the girls were so sweet and nice and the ice cream with so many flavors and the ice cream was out of this world... I loved the ice cream and can't wait to go back... I don't know if I'd wait a hour for it but it was very good read more

Every year, my family and I come to LBI for a week, and every year, we come to Skipper Dipper. Of all the ice cream places I've tried here, Skipper is the best. Although the line can be long, it is certainly worth the wait. There are so many options to choose from, and everything tastes delicious. I would recommend trying one of their many flavors of soft serve. read more

Amazing ice cream! Don't let the line scare you it moves very quickly. The staff is extremely professional and friendly.

Skipper Dipper - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Long Beach Township, New Jersey

A long beach island tradition. Every night there may look like there is a long line but the workers come and take your order and it moves pretty quick. They serve huge portions - get the small or split anything larger. My favorite : Rocky Road on a Pretzel Cone. read more

Best ice cream stop in the island. Don't let the long lines stop you from stopping. They hire 10 employees and the line moves FAST!

Skipper Dipper has it all: - Very friendly and helpful staff - 2 dozen flavors, soft serve, for-yo, dozens of toppings, fresh waffle cones/bowls, and even Mexican Coca-Cola! - Ample seating (inside and out) - Lots of parking - Most importantly.... very generous servings!!! The place is pristine, bright, and full of positive energy. You walk in with a craving and you walk out with a big ol smile and a huge cone. Can't wait for summer so I can go back. read more

Best ice cream on the island. Gets crowded but line moves fast due to adequate staffing. Black raspberry and blueberry soft serve is phenomenal. read more

After reading the rave reviews on Yelp about Skipper Dipper my family had to check it out. The line was a little long but the idea of having the staff come take your order while on the line and start making the ice cream so when you get up to the counter your order is ready is pure genius. They do have many different varieties of ice cream and toppings. The ice cream was good. Though being a family of ice cream connoisseurs and a family who makes their own homemade ice cream the ice cream here wasn't as rich as we prefer. My son recommends the bubble gum flavor. Prices are moderate. The staff was willing to make almost any request you can come up with. We will visit again. Highly recommend this ice cream place since it seems to be the best LBI has to offer. read more

The wait was definitely worth it! The staff was so nice and the ice cream was DELICIOUS. Great ice cream, great atmosphere.

Classic ice cream parlor with wide variety of flavors including around 30 possible flavors of soft serve and hard ice crea. The day I went there was no line and AC was working just fine. Kahula soft serve anyone? read more

The ice cream was great! Servers were courteous and helpful. Prices were not bad at all!

Always a great summer treat! Great selection! Long lines but they move fast! Just wish they had a sugar free option not just butter pecan no sugar added read more

Good solid ice cream spot. Quick service despite a long line. Waffle cone was warm and very tasty, definitely fresh. My husband and I enjoyed the pistachio and butter pecan. My only wish is that they had maple walnut hard ice cream compared to the soft serve version. Otherwise, good spot, and we would definitely return! read more

Service was very friendly and parking could not have been easier. I thought that the ice cream was overly sweet, and a tad watery, but I would be willing to return to try their soft serve. read more

Best Ice Cream on the island!!! Have been stopping here every year when we come down to LBI! It's nice that even on busy nights, the line always moves quickly ! read more

If a place has almost two dozen soft serve flavors, you figure it's their specialty or something, right? Apparently not... First off, I applaud Skipper Dipper for their inventive way to help people avoid waiting forever to get their ice cream. That said, we had three major problems with their model: 1. Teach your 'waitresses' the menu. I understand they probably hire people just for the summer, but we had several questions about flavors/toppings and the girl taking our order was literally unable to answer any of them (like what's the difference between the two coffee soft serve flavors). 2. Can't sample anything. This is especially an issue when you have such an inordinate amount of flavors to choose from. Always like ice cream joints where you can try something before buying it. 3. Specials. Since they weren't on the menu and our 'waitress' didn't mention that they had any, we didn't find out about their daily special flavors until we actually got inside to pay. A big shame since they sounded delicious and we probably would have ordered them given the chance. Next, the soft serve took forever to actually reach our cups and was so disappointing; it was melty and completely flavorless. I ordered espresso roast and cheesecake, both of which I would have believed were actually vanilla had I been told so. They tasted like nothing but cream, as did the flavors ordered by others in my party. The only other redeeming quality about Skipper Dipper was their hard ice cream, which was actually pretty good. Carmen's in Bay Village is wayyyyyyyy better. Didn't go back to SD during our week of vacation even though we stayed in a house across the street from the storefront... read more

A great way to end a day on LBI! Skipper Dipper has a huge menu with over a dozen hand dipped flavors, as well as over a dozen soft serve flavors! They also offer dole whip, soy, and oat milk ice creams for those who can't have dairy. Not a lot of places offer, this so it's the icing on the cake for me (an ice cream loving individual) and my fiancé (a lactose intolerant individual). Yes, you pay island prices but it is definitely worth it. The young staff behind the counter was very upbeat and attentive as well. We'll keep coming back, for sure. read more
