Great food, great service! The chicken was perfect and lived both type of sauces. Great sides. Its just a great place to go for the summer time because you can eat outside under a pavilion, amd after you're done eating, you can walk across the parking lot to get ice cream! Wish it was open all year long!!!

Omg!!! This place is wonderful! The food was cooked and well seasoned to perfection. The service was quick and very hospitable. I ordered the half chicken and half ribs with some potato salad and bean salad. If you haven't yet visited this place make it a must do! Everything was delicious and I mean everything and what better day to go then on Memorial Day since I am out of town and away from family I was still able to have some delicious barbecue! Thanks Big D!!!

When we stopped, the parking lot was full, and there was a line for the bbq. The line moves quickly, and we receive our food right away. The portions are big. I had the baked beans and macaroni salad. Everything was very good, and we were all stuffed after eating our dinners. The chicken was flavorful and falling off the bone. Great roadside stop.

Big Dipper bbq is an average bbq place. They cook the food outside on a massive grill. However the smoke blows into your face when you’re ordering. It didn’t take long to receive my order, however the pulled chicken didn’t taste that great. The potatoes, on the other hand, had mighty flavor and great texture. The roll was just a basic hotdog roll, nothing special. I was greatly disappointed by the chicken after hearing good reviews about the place. If I were to ever return, I would only have the potatoes, even though they were just a role player in the meal of a team. They came off the bench and played their role better than the supposed superstar, the chicken.

Customer service is top notch- everyone is very kind and helpful. Food is decent. You can’t beat the price of the chicken dinner. We came near the end of the season and before lunch rush so service was incredibly fast. Chicken is the star- I’d skip the ribs if you are a BBQ connoisseur though. I’m from the south, so BBQ tends to be very hit or miss up in the northeast. Ribs weren’t quite there. Options for sides are decent- you can’t go wrong with their coleslaw. Baked beans and Mac salad were good too. I only wish I had the salt potatoes since that’s a regional thing here in NY- I think they are a nice complement to BBQ!
