Obviously the finest BBQ chicken in the area! When I moved here I laughed at people that said Phil's was the best chicken in the area, obviously they had never been to Brook's in Oneonta NY. But then I discovered the Big Dipper and realized that they actually topped even Brooks for flavor. You won't be disappointed here, give it a try.
I love this place been going here for years staff is awesome owner is great the chicken has a awesome taste like no other chicken and I've tried tons of BBQ from here and all over in different states and haven't found one like this.... By far my favorite BBQ place thanks guys my tummy loves u good job
Love this place!! It's a true landmark in our community. The food is outstanding! And the staff is always smiling. They close down in the winter months. To me when they open for the season is the real sign of spring!
Stopped yesterday & got 2 dinners - they were worth the long winter wait! Everything from the chicken to the salt potatoes were delicious. Can't wait to go back.
After the fifth person came into my shop today raving about their lunch, I had to get one for myself. The chicken was cooked to perfection, the macaroni salad was perfect and it was another fantastic meal. If you haven't tried it you really should. Al and his top notch crew never disappoint!!
Big dipper needs no review...if u drive by and don't get pulled in by the smell alone you are a stronger man than I 😁
My fiancée and I stopped on our way to the poconos and it hit the spot!! It was so good and the food was hot! Clean and courteous!!! Highly recommend it!
2nd best chicken in the area, only Phil's Chicken House is better.
Great chicken! We always get the all dark-meat dinner and share it, if we get there before it is sold out. Their potato salad is excellent as well. Going tonight!
Never had a bad meal here. The pulled pork, chicken and ribs are to die for
I've only been there once, and the food was pretty good! I was impressed by the staff, most of all! I intend to be regular customer whenever out that way....
We love the chicken!! Plus the people are always so friendly! The only negative thing we can say is that the salads all taste alike and are kind of vinegary.
WE go here at least once a week during the season & the food always awesome. Friendly & courteous counter help. And decent prices on everything. I give hem a 10 !!!
Favorite bbq chicken dinner with awesome sides! Looking forward to them reopening this week!���
I make the trip up to visit family and I never fail to eat here best barbecue ever
Very good, every one in the family loved it (which rarely happens, lol) and the amount of food you get for the price was impressive!! We will definitely be back!����
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.
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.
The best food around. My family and I traveled here and it did not disappoint. We can't wait to go back again soon!
The BBQ Chicken is so good. Nice friendly teenager staff is quick to put together your order. We love the BBQ and the ice cream. A GREAT place to stop an relax with a good treat.
The best bbq chicken ever! Worth a hour and half drive. The line goes fast don’t be discouraged so freaking good
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.
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.
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.
We travel 45 minutes to get their BBQ my wife likes their chicken spiedies and I love their Ribs. Well worth the drive.
Had to get the chicken BBQ and salt potatoes when I was in town!! And a great place to sit.
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.
Place is always busy, I go out of my way to go to this place. I love it. The Chicken BBQ is the best.
Great local barbecue. The 1/2 chicken, ribs, pulled chicken & pork, salt potatoes are all excellent. Recommend bringing cash as there is a small upcharge for credit.
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!
This place is unbelievable… and I like the guy with the funky hats totally hilarious. Never tried the food
