Despite having 30+ Flavors, I am a die hard , soft vanilla, plastered in rainbow sprinkles, on a GF cone, kindof 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.

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 andtasty. Not a huge fan of their macaroni salad, but I do enjoy the potato rolls. Nice staff and yummy food! A win!

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!

I used to doubt people who claimed Phil's had the top chicken, thinking they had never tried Brook's in Oneonta NY. However, once I tried the Big Dipper, I found that they actually surpassed even Brooks in terms of flavor. Give it a try - you won't be disappointed.

The chicken here has an incredible, unique flavor that I have never experienced anywhere else. I have tried barbecue from all over in various states, but nothing compares to the barbecue at this place. It is by far my favorite barbecue spot. Thank you to the staff for always providing excellent food - my taste buds appreciate it! Great job.
