We visited during the off season when things settle down.- One of few ice cream spots open long hours- Dairy, non-dairy and egg-free options - Good ice cream and sorbet, cakes are so cool! - Service was reasonable and accommodating to everyone's questions and requests - Not much seating but everyone seems to rest up wherever they feel comfortable outside Support local and patron this cute ice cream shop on this beautiful island!

This place is great for ice creams. Like their choices of ice cream but not sure if their milkshake are good. I had one and prefer ice cream over it. They give decent size of ice cream which will make you full. If you not a big eater, order one between two people. Live their coconut and chocolate death flavor.

Best ice cream on the island for your money. Huge servings, great ice cream, delicious toppings, and friendly staff. Scoop City has nothing on this place.

Definitely you'll get large portions. But the commercially bought ice cream was lacking in flavor. I don't understand not allowing tastes, and the employee was not particularly friendly. There are better options for good ice cream on LBI!

Great ice cream. If you're in Surf City don't go to Scoop City. Those guys are jerks

The Big Dipper is a fascinating ice cream shop. While at the stir you will always get your moneys worth. They truly live up to the name "Big Dipper". It is a great ice cream shop and I would strongly recommend checking it out while staying in Surf City or even all of LBI.

Really great spot for some good ice cream as well as giving more than enough of a portion size! I really recommend going with one scoop as it's more like 3 scoops! Definitely recommend!

Ice cream was delicious, a lot of selections available. The service was very great, friendly and funny. The bench seating outside was perfect for our family as well. Would definitely recommend

Hands down, the best ice cream shop in LBI! A small cup here is the equivalent of a large anywhere else. Couple that with their excellent taste and it's no wonder the lines are out the door and thru the parking lot. If you're looking for a healthy dessert don't come here but if you're looking for a delicious, decadent dessert this is for you.

This was my first time coming here but I'm sure I'll be back soon as my boyfriend raves about this place! So a small cup is apparently 4 scoops here, which we definitely weren't disappointed about and it was definitely reasonably priced! I had the chocolate marshmallow flavor and my boyfriend had death by chocolate. We both loved our flavors and the service was great! We were served right away. The servers were all very nice and the ambiance was nice!

The best ice cream on LBI. They are very generous with their portions. My whole family kept saying "this is a small cup?" We are never disappointed. The staff is excellent and they move people quickly. It's a great way to end your day after time on the beach. Peanut butter was my favorite, but my kids like mint chocolate chip and the my husband loved the coffee ice cream.

Marvelous South New Jersey ice cream shack. How was it? What was it like? Big Dipper was like a set from a movie. Bright neon signs, about 250+ different flavors. There were all sorts of stickers, drawings and signs on the walls inside - it was run by local school kids but there was practically no line. There's Haagen Dasz (delicious) and then there are places like this that bring back that student vibe. That long ago type - maybe even simplicity - vibe where the ambiance is just disheveled and haphazard enough (not too much) to elicit that uniqueness and happiness associated with real ice cream and ice cream cones. Big Dipper offered above and beyond what anyone could imagine in an old-days (bygone days) ice cream establishment. The staff was quick and super efficient with scoopers and they were very, generous with their lumps of ice cream! There were seats out front to sit (not enough for all those sweet-toothed older folks I might add) but it didn't matter anyway, because some of the young teens just sat on the porch or the stairs and gazed at the stars chattering away.. My two scoops were Black Cherry (scrumptious) and I thought it was caramel, but it ended up being peanut butter (also great!). They were heaped into a standard wax cup and it started to melt a bit on the way home. In the back you could see the actual flavors and ice and dairy: PROOF that this place - Big Dipper - make some of their own ice cream on site. Awesome place. Hands down: YOU CAN'T GO WRONG YELP!. Review: Boom 5
