Big Dipper Ice Cream is a great place to grab ice cream with friends and family. The selection is varied and includes interesting (in a good way) combinations. They do offer free samples so that you can try several types. I chose mocha chip, which was absolutely delicious. It was a beautiful evening, so I enjoyed the outdoor seating. The staff was friendly and fast.
Big Dipper Ice Cream is a great place to go with friends. While I often go to Baskin Robins, Big Dipper was a new place to go because of their enjoyably different flavors. I had the Black Licorice, it was my first time, and it was amazing. While other places might be cheaper, we believe Big Dipper has higher quality ice cream. The ice cream was very creamy and tasty. Overall, 9/10, factoring in flavors, price, and quality. No real complaints.
Fantastic ice cream spot! Great flavor variety, great texture, friendly service and generous portions. They let you try a couple flavors, which is good because they have some really unique ones like cardamom (delicious, but not sure youd want more than half a scoop in a serving) and licorice. I also liked the white mint Oreo. Will definitely go back and try more flavors next time Im in town!
My son and I went in during the strawberry festival. There was one person working the whole line and they did fantastic. Despite the stress and line of people due to the event, they were so friendly and polite. The ice cream was delicious, I will absolutely come back.
So many choices! I love how the change there flavors to keep the interest alive! Wish I would have gotten photos, because our sundaes we unreal! Look forward to returning someday.
I had a maple nut ice cream cone and it was delicious! The cone was a homemade waffle cone. The staff was very friendly. I highly recommend the Big Dipper.
Great place. There are also non-dairy options.
Nice shop. Prices fair. Ice cream is not outstanding just good.
Love the girls working tonight. So friendly. Yummy shake will be back...
Great little ice cream shop, really quick with our orders and decently priced
Friendly staff and good service. Had the Huckleberry ice cream which was excellent.
Kiddo had a blast, kinda long lines but its worth the wait!
Fast service. Nice place
Went in for my first time. No one was at the register. I patiently waited for a very long time. No one ever came to the front. Maybe I will try again and actually get service. I hear such good things about this place. Sadly I guess today want not my day
Great place to go get ice cream
Cute place. Large portions. Very good ice cream.
Great shop in downtown Billings. The young lady working the counter was fantastic and great tasting ice cream.
Excellent ice cream and service
Great ice cream, good prices, friendly staff
Pumpkin ice cream not up to their usual high quality
The ice cream was good but the staff not very helpful my son has a peanut allergy so I asked the man if they had anything on the menu my son could have he said that he would have to ask someone he walked to the back I could see he wasnt talking to anybody he comes back out washes off the scoop and ask what I would like I asked him again if it was safe for my son he said yes the whole night I worried my son would have a reaction to something in the ice cream lucky enough nothing happened but for the future I will not be back.
Way bigger than I thought and the flavor was amazing!
Great special- salted caramel chocolate brownie! And great service!
Great ice cream friendly staff.
The staff was very friendly they made my daughters day! Thanks girls and Happy Easter!
My kids love the bubble gum and cotton candy flavors, we went for breakfast the other morning
Looking at this local ice cream shop, I have found it to be better then other places. The biggest part that I love is that they make the ice cream and one of the cones in house. They are the only place that carries coconut ice cream. It is my favorite! Compared to other ice cream shops, this place has a better price range. For instance, the shakes here would be almost twice the price at other places. They do have limited seating. That makes it hard to find a place to sit during peak hours, especially in winter. Otherwise, they are amazing!
Unique ice cream flavors good service good atmosphere
Very tasty and fast service
Huge portions! Believe me, you only need the one scoop!
Been here many times. Excellent as always. You need to make the Strawberry Bubblegum flavor a standard. Its remarkably good. Even more so than black licorice in my opinion!!!
Had a small hot fudge sundae. It was good. The grandkids had different things and not a one of them was unhappy! Score!!
Clean, Fast and friendly! Ice cream is delicious and creamy. Waffle cone is light, crispy and not overly sweet. Great location too!
Great homemade ice cream served by nice staff. Zero complaints
Great place and great ice cream!
The ice cream and staff was pretty good. I don’t just know what the deal is.... Maybe the owners are super cheap.... landlords.... The workers in there sweating. It’s in the end of July. 95-100 degree heat in the day. It was more hot inside then outside at 7 pm. I even asked the person helping me if it was this hot in here all time.If it was my business, I would turn on the air conditioning or put in a cooler of some sort. It has been like this every time and after the third time, I figured I would pass on the info.I would want my workers and my customers to have a nice experience. Because they can’t figure it out and it’s not just a circumstance of the climate control malfunctioning, I give them a two star. Maybe the owners can see this and make it a nice atmosphere for their laboring crew and the clients within.I usually only write five star reviews so this is a first for me. Big Dipper is good but no place to cool off.
Loved it me and my little son always love going down here
Excellent ice cream. Went here for my birthday. The seating is limited and the line was long but the staff were friendly and the ice cream was quality. Their sundaes were delicious. They have salted caramel and hot fudge that is made specifically for this place. Take some home with you!
Good icecream
I utterly love the little dipper ice cream parlor. The cones are always freshly made and mmmmm mmmmm delicious. There are lots of great flavors all freshly made to my knowledge but could be wrong. I think the only problem I have there is the small size benches. It wasnt built for big feet like mine. The ice cream is very yummy otherwise, affordable prices,and great workers. I highly recommend this place to others
Awesome ice cream an friendly staff
Best in the area. Good mix of old standards and playful new flavors.
High quality ice cream. Best coffee ice cream Ive ever had. Recommend you get it in a waffle cone. If youre into shakes, dont overlook the add ons or substitutions they offer (ex:coconut shake plus espresso).
I like how they are within walking distance.The ice cream is good.I didnt go there when this app said l did but a couple of years ago.
Honestly, I just love me some Big Dipper. They have good ice cream, good people, and even when its slammed you still get in and out quickly. Portions are excellent, and their flavor choices cant be beat (yes, Im talking to you, Company X). If you want ice cream (thats not soft serve) theres no better choice than Big Dipper.
Havent found a flavor I dont like! Their rotating flavors are usually the best.
Wow! This is an amazing ice cream experience. We are currently on an ice cream tour of the United States and this is our fourth stop. It is by far the best. Everything we tried was delicious, the staff were friendly and helpful, and the prices were fantastically affordable. Hooray for Big Dipper!
Bad icecream
Service is always good. Employees greet you with a friendly smile. Lots of options as far as flavors methods of delivery.Nice little shop that is always worth stopping in to if youre in the area
This is a great in/out ice cream spot. They always have really interesting special flavors (my favorite was a bacon buttercream that was limited edition). The staff is always friendly and seems like they love their jobs, which makes me want to support this small Montana business.
Love it. Im a regular to this ice cream shop
Nice folks. Really get your monies worth. We are visiting our son, daughter in law and grands and just had to have ice cream today. Well worth stopping by.
Great Shake!
Such a great place to share fun and family. Right downtown. After brunch, dinner, you always have time to stop in and grap a cone or dish. We even take a quart with us. Very nice place.
Definitely a must when in Billings Ive never had a bad experience with them
Love this place! They have an awesome variety of unique flavors and great employees! The entire feel of the shop is super fun. Its a great place to meet up with friends.
I really appreciate that Big Dipper agreed to help raise awareness for the Wear Orange to End Gun Violence event and to participate in fundraising for Angelas Piazza! Communities are sustained when organizations/individuals/small businesses work towards a better tomorrow so thank you for doing your part!
Decent ice cream nothing wrong with it, just doesnt compete with other options both chain and local. I personally think both Cold Stone and Softies brings something better to the table in their own unique ways at the same or better value.
We had the licorice, white oreo mint & huckleberry. All the flavors were amazing delicious!!! there was one girl she was very kind and did a great job and was smiling all the while! Cute, fun, little ice cream shop👍🤗
Homemade unique ice creams. All natural ingredients. They incorporate local ingredients into their recipes. Usually busy but service is fast. Super yummy!
Great ice cream. The girls are friendly and kind. Atmosphere is fun and makes you want to come back for more!
Great Ice Cream with a wonderfully happy and helpful Staff.. Id add 5 more Stars if Applicable.. My friends and I are planning to return again next month when we get paid
Nice place, great ice cream. Suggest you try the huckleberry lemonade sorbet.
Whats not to love..nice employees and yummy ice cream!
Excellent ice cream! The rotating specials are fun.
It was almost the same price for 4 individual ice creams as for something called the Super Nova (I think). So we got 6 scoops of ice cream, 6 toppings (which we got on the side), and 2 brownies. Yummy!
Cute little downtown ice cream shop. Not far from the Double Tree or courthouse.
They have special flavours on different days, and just.. Wow! Personally, my favourite flavour is the green tea.I love the decoration too!
Friendly local shop with good selection of boutique flavors office cream. Eat as you stroll downtown billings! Clean and fast service.
The ice cream is ok but they give you wooden spoons. I cut my lip trying to eat this. It was unpleasant. I know that its supposed to be eco friendly but I dont want to eat something that is going to hurt me. I wont be back.
It was slammed due to the events taking place in town, however the staff was great and patient and got the line moving quickly. Didnt have to wait long for our treats!
Always friendly service and GREAT ice cream
Exceptional ice cream and great service. Tables and chairs outside in the summer. Lots of questionable people walking by. But who cares . . .your eating great ice cream!
Fun little ice cream shop in downtown Billings!I stayed with friends while in the area and when I suggested we all go out for ice cream, they said that Big Dipper was the only way to go.Fun flavors (free samples) and a nice staff. What a treat!
Best lemon sorbet I have ever had. The waffle cones are freshly made. The decor is retro and adorable.
Great staff. Good ice cream.
I love their chocolate chili when they have it.
Great huckleberry shakes
Tasty flavor options and friendly staff. Acoustics are very echo-y so not great for carrying on a conversation indoors but otherwise a nice place.
Love big dipper!! They have different specials nearly everyday and I LOVE that I can take a quart home of my favorite kind 😁😁
Oh my god, their flavors are bonkers!!Who would have though Cardamom ice cream would be delicious!
My husband and I decided to meet our daughter in law there with the 2 grandboys. Great timing on our part as 15 minutes after we got our order it was slammed. Im not sure why because while the ice cream was good, it certainly was not worth the price!Its in an older building down town that is certainly not set up well for an ice cream parlor. With only 2 people in line ahead of us, you barely got in the door. The menu is posted immediately to your right about 10 ft off the floor. Very difficult to read!Not enough servers, they were struggling to keep up which didnt make for very good service.As I mentioned, the ice cream was okay but do not plan on going back.
Best waffle cone ever!! Great people watching. Awesome ice cream.
Great flavor variety, service, atmosphere, prices..yum and yummy!
The product is good, of course but Its so small that if theres a line, you have a hard time looking to see what there is and what you want. The staff doesnt always seem like they want to be there
Amazing ice cream and cold treats. Perfect location, right downtown.
Always a fantastic place to drop in for a little bit of ice cream.
