No complaints at all. Tried the chicken dinner with the salted potatoes and the mac salad and the ribs everything was quite delicious service was super quick and friendly staff. Remember to bring cash for the cash discount, they do accept cards if needed.Parking: It’s tightKid-friendliness: Kids can eat yummy bbq

Why are they constantly out of chicken? Focus on feeding your current customers instead of branching out. Clearly there are problems.Wasted enough of my time driving there and them not having food. It was good while it lasted, but not coming back here again.

It was a lovely 77° this evening... the perfect weather to bat my eyelashes at my hubby, and before I knew it,we were off to the Big Dipper. Despite having 30+ Flavors, I am a die hard , soft vanilla, plastered in rainbow sprinkles, on a GF cone, kind of girl. They have a couple of lovely Gazebos with ample seating and noticed a quaint play area for the children to enjoy. Overall I give the Big Dipper a 5 star rating.

YUMMY‼️‼️‼️‼️pit Bbq stand with shaded or sunny clean tables. I had moist yummy chicken dinner with fresh fruit salad and house made creamy mayo cole slaw. The sauce for the chicken was very different than any I have had and very perfect on the chicken. Delish 😋. Hubby had ribs, sauce had a bite. Ribs had really good flavor . LOTS of sides choices. Line goes quick. Easy detour off then on rte 17.

If you’re looking for FOOD POISONING come here!! Spoiled chicken sent me to the ER, I was asked by my nurse what I had eaten that day, and it turns out there were FOUR OTHER PATIENTS in the ER that had also eaten at the Big Dipper earlier. On top of that was rotten smelling coleslaw, which I didn’t touch, asked my money back or a different side but was denied by Ryan (apparently the owners son)!!! I am COMPLETELY disgusted and enraged. This place should not be in business!!

Love this place, back in my hometown for a visit to see my kids. Could not believe how they have changed, and expanded the menu. My husband had ribs and chicken, I and my son had chicken. They never had ribs when I was there before, and they now have pulled pork and speedies.I wanted to try everything, I had some of my hubby's ribs, and the guy cooking must have heard me say I wanted to try the speedies, because he brought over a sampling of them. Lip shaking delicious.I was going to post a pictures of our meals but we all enjoyed the chicken and ribs, there was nothing left.We went to the "Big Dipper" next door and they had so many flavors of ice cream. I had a simple strawberry milkshake, was very good.Wish I had these two places where I am, they would clean up with business.

Start off with the positives. The people were SUPER friendly and service was fast. Now the negative unfortunately. This was the worst bbq I've ever had. Extremely bland food. Not sure what sauce they are trying for the chicken, but it's not working for BBQ places that I've had before. The ribs were extremely tough. Didn't fall off bone at all. Not much flavor on the ribs either. Would not recommend this place if you enjoy really good BBQ.

Very creamy soft serve. We have had the hard ice-cream and liked that equally well. This time we got the BBQ chicken dinners to go as well. The chicken looked overdone, but was actually juicy and tender. I recommend the salt potatoes and fruit salad sides, but the others looked good too.

Only bad thing I can say is I drove 20 miles to get their chicken dinners. I call first to ask if they still have chicken at 6:00pm the girl told me they had plenty. 20 minutes later I showed up and they were out of chicken. I even tried to order ahead to make sure they would have it but she said they only do call ahead for orders of 10 or more.

The ice cream was good, and the choices seemed almost endless, which was great but the only real issue is how confusing and hectic the lines are. Its a lot of of chaos because windows were not labeled as open or closed, 3 lines formed and only 1 window ended up being open but the 25ish people out front were very upfront about how confused they all were. Im just glad that the accusations of cutting in line wasnt being yelled out at others.

Excellent pulled pork. The macaroni salad was superb as well. Large portions and a good value

We LOVE this barbecue. The pulled chicken is hands down the best, but the pulled pork is good too. I like their chicken. Not dry and well seasoned. The only complaint I have is you can't always get the pulled chicken. Their salt potatoes are a good size and tasty. Not a huge fan of their macaroni salad, but I do enjoy the potato rolls. Nice staff and yummy food! A win!

LOVE this place, we often stop in the summer on our way back to Jersey or down to PA from upstate or the Finger Lakes - HUGE HUGE HUGE portions. Vegan and dairy free options - as well as Dole Whip and other great flavors. There's always a huge line. It's worth a drive detour off the highway - and you can see it from the road. Take the detour and enjoy! You're welcome!

Used to love it here. 3 nights in a row I have gone over an hour before close and they are out of chicken. I can see 10-15 mins before, but over an hour before close on multiple nights? The staple of the entire place is chicken. Lol. It was great while it lasted.

Big Dipper catered our wedding and they were fantastic! Jennifer was great to work with and stayed in constant contact through the whole process! Our guests loved the food and we had plenty of it! Highly recommend working with them for your next event!

It smelled really good, but they were out of every single meat when we go there. They only had sides left. It was close to closing, so I’m sure this isn’t a normal occurrence!

I used to love getting the pulled pork sandwich from here but I'm going to have to try something else. The sauce it comes with just soaks the entire roll and makes a huge mess. Now I'm a sauce loving girl, but not when it is literally soaking the to go box and into the other sides of the meal. I thought this was an isolated concern as this happened a few times when getting the same dinner last year but now I have been turned off from getting it which is too bad because it really is so good. I advise anyone who gets it eat quickly before it swamps your meal and your entire life or get it with the roll on the side to assemble it yourself. That said, the chicken is delicious and will be my go to from now on.

Best barbeque around here - and that says something, considering all the great BBQs around here.. seating is outdoor only, and sheltered seating is available.And dessert, there's ice cream right next to the BBQ - worth a visit in its own right.

So here's the thing. The people here are wonderful, the prices are pretty good. The sides are very good. But the proteins are overcooked. I pass by this place every week during the summer, and I get take out once a year. And sadly, it is always over cooked. I went on a limb this time and got the ribs, we had to throw the entire $20 meal away. The ribs were so overcooked it was like trying to eat tree bark. And I was there at 11am, so it wasn't like it was late in the day when they were busy. The same as the white meat part of the chicken on the chicken dinner. I hope that one year they'll stop over cooking and I can get them more often!
