About Big Dip Ice Cream
Big Dip Ice Cream Reviews
When I was 2 or 3yrs old my parents always brought me here to get ice cream the best around
🍦First place I ever had an ice cream cone! 🍦
When I was four, I think, about 1964. When I got to the top of the cone and started struggling to get to the ice cream inside it, my mother told me I could bite and eat the cone — and I was skeptical. 😆
I still stop by at least once a year — what, sixty years later?! And the place still looks much the same!
Big Dip is the best! It’s so nice that you can enjoy your ice cream while sitting in the shade on clean tables. There are napkin holders over by the tables which is so convenient, especially with kids. We love the fun ice cream flavors and funky sundaes they have on the menu. Lastly, the music is awesome :)

Menu
Big Dip Ice Cream is a popular spot for a sweet treat. While they may not carry all the flavors of Hershey's ice cream, including some exclusive flavors, they make up for it with excellent prices and fast service. The scoop sizes can be confusing, with no clear standard for what a "medium" or "large" scoop should be. The waffle cones are average, but the napkin dispenser in the back is a thoughtful touch. The ice cream itself is of good quality, with real strawberries used in the strawberry milkshake. The menu is impressive, with many options and seasonal choices. There are plenty of sit-down areas to enjoy ice cream with family or friends, and the place is very accommodating for customers with pets. Parking is usually easy, even when it gets busy, and they accept cards. Customers praise the soft serve options, especially the chocolate peanut butter twist and the pumpkin/vanilla swirl, which is described as outrageous. The soft serve is smooth and flavorful, and the small cones are surprisingly large. The staff offers good service, sometimes providing free samples, and the setup includes picnic tables for eating comfortably. Overall, Big Dip Ice Cream is a fun, friendly place with a huge selection of flavors and a great atmosphere, making it a favorite for many visitors.
