Great food, great service! The chicken was perfect and lived both type of sauces. Great sides. Its just a great place to go for the summer time because you can eat outside under a pavilion, amd after you’re done eating, you can walk across the parking lot to get ice cream! Wish it was open all year long!!!

Omg!!! This place is wonderful! The food was cooked and well seasoned to perfection. The service was quick and very hospitable.
I ordered the half chicken and half ribs with some potato salad and bean salad. If you haven’t yet visited this place make it a must do! Everything was delicious and I mean everything and what better day to go then on Memorial Day since I am out of town and away from family I was still able to have some delicious barbecue!
Thanks Big D!!!

When we stopped, the parking lot was full, and there was a line for the bbq. The line moves quickly, and we receive our food right away. The portions are big. I had the baked beans and macaroni salad. Everything was very good, and we were all stuffed after eating our dinners. The chicken was flavorful and falling off the bone. Great roadside stop.

Big Dipper bbq is an average bbq place. They cook the food outside on a massive grill. However the smoke blows into your face when you’re ordering. It didn’t take long to receive my order, however the pulled chicken didn’t taste that great. The potatoes, on the other hand, had mighty flavor and great texture. The roll was just a basic hotdog roll, nothing special. I was greatly disappointed by the chicken after hearing good reviews about the place. If I were to ever return, I would only have the potatoes, even though they were just a role player in the meal of a team. They came off the bench and played their role better than the supposed superstar, the chicken.

Customer service is top notch- everyone is very kind and helpful.
Food is decent. You can’t beat the price of the chicken dinner. We came near the end of the season and before lunch rush so service was incredibly fast.
Chicken is the star- I’d skip the ribs if you are a BBQ connoisseur though. I’m from the south, so BBQ tends to be very hit or miss up in the northeast. Ribs weren’t quite there. Options for sides are decent- you can’t go wrong with their coleslaw. Baked beans and Mac salad were good too. I only wish I had the salt potatoes since that’s a regional thing here in NY- I think they are a nice complement to BBQ!

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.

We got a to go order. The food was excellent. I only visit upstate NY every once in a while. But I am always looking for NY style BBQ. I will be back when I return. This is a must stop.

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.

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.
