★★★★★ 5.0 Joia Sanders johnson · Feb 2026

The best food but not a lot of friendly people. There is one named Rogetta who is very friendly, welcoming, and smiling. I go here a lot and she is about the only friendly one there. Thank you for showing what real customer service should be. I go here sometimes several times a week because I absolutely love the food.

Big Dipper is a staple in the community. Love the large lemonade, nachos with chili, grilled chicken through the garden and an occaisional banana split. But the BLT, onion rings and an arnold palmer to drink are great options as well. The cheese bites are delicious. But the proportions are small for the price.

We came back into town Friday for the weekend from Florida and I noticed that it’s not a very friendly place but it has great food! Hopefully the women who run it know how blessed they are and they should show it more like BE HAPPY or find the JOY in serving or let someone else do it. Thank you for all you do till next time Florida bound we go!

An incredible historical, nostalgic and delicious place to run your burger through the garden And the world’s greatest triple chocolate malt shake You gotta taste this place to believe it

It's a generational landmark. The food is good, the people are nice, this is basically what a hamburger should be. People don't really understand, hamburgers are American street food. And this is what it's supposed to be like. It isn't supposed to be a steak, it isn't supposed to be 2 lbs. It's supposed to be this. I was coming here in high school, I go there now, mostly with my mom. She loves it. It's part of the people, part of the folk stories. You'd be surprised how many little family stories people have that involve on their way to the Big Dipper, or something taking place there. And it's one of the big three places, The old starlight drive places: The Big Dipper, moonlight BBQ, starlight Drive-In (where Kroger's is, it used to be the local Drive-In). Point is the food is really good,
