What Clifford Ehrlich doesn't like about The Big Dipper:
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! View all feedback. What User likes about The Big Dipper:
We've been coming here for years, the ice cream is always fresh and tasty, and the portions are huge! Great variety, and even if the lines are long, they move quickly. View all feedback.
