Really cute LBI ice cream shop with so many flavors and also froyo. $7 for a single scoop but you truly get a pint’s worth of ice cream. The death by chocolate was divine!! No samples because it’s such a busy shop - but every ice cream flavor my group had was so good!

I remember going to the Big Dipper years ago as a kid. It hasn’t changed much, and that’s a good thing! They still have awesome ice cream options, quick service, and a friendly staff. And the serving sizes are very generous! For us, a single scoop was more than enough…just as I remember years ago. Prices were reasonable, and they accept credit cards. We arrived and the line was out the door and almost around the corner, but we were served in a little over 10 minutes. Make sure to bring some cash for tipping the servers who are college students on summer break. Hope they continue to keep this LBI staple going years to come!

I’ve been coming here since 2010 and it always hits the spot! I hadn’t been down to LBI in close to 5 years and I forgot how crazy the banana split is! And only $12?!

The serving sizes here are simply insane. One scoop of ice cream is huge. The smoothness and quality of the food was great and we enjoyed it immensely. Great treat to end the day after a hot day. Lots of variety in flavor as well, totally worth a visit

Best ice cream I've had in years! Service was good. The young man helping us was well spoken and very helpful. .. and a bit heavy handed on his ice cream scoops... a very nice place!
