"Where did all the money go Where did all the cash flow Cough up the bucks" (Neil Young) Big Bucks sure has a lot of ways for you to spend your bucks. Coffee, Ice cream, candy, smoothies, juices, and a whole lot more. Even artwork! We each bought a single scoop cone for a hefty $5.95 apiece, but neither of us were that impressed with the taste. It was a little icy/crunchy and to my palate had a slight freezer burn after-taste. But we had a completely different reaction to the wide selection of artwork sold at Big Bucks, all created by the girlfriend of one of the servers. We loved an image with a beautiful pastel sky over a beachscape with a lighthouse and the wild horses found on the nearby Islands. The print was just $20. We asked our server to tell his girlfriend that her print would soon be travelling home to Connecticut with us. read more

Okay - it's a hot day at the Outer Banks - you have to go get ice cream - right?? Well this is a cute BIG store that devoted a good portion of the store to selling ice cream. They have the whipped cream to garnish your frozen treat and they even topped it off with a little umbrella. The service was patient and did a good job with our order. They had a nice selection of hard ice cream too. read more

My friends and I stopped by Big Buck's ice cream and had a great time. The staff were about to close but welcomed us in with open arms and were super nice. I got the chocolate chip cookie dough and chocolate oreo in a cone and it was top 3 best ice cream I've ever had. I don't know who Big Buck is but that man knows how to make some ice cream!! read more

This place was very good and had great service. They let us sample flavors and even get served after closing time. The chocolate oreo and waffle cone was very good. The vanilla caramel fudge basically just tasted like vanilla so make sure you sample before you commit! read more

Wait was about 10 mins. The staff were very good about getting people orders and getting them out fast. My favorite flavor I had was the Biscoff Cookie. I don't usually indulge in ice cream but I'm glad I did on vacation. read more

Smooth, full of flavor and simply delicious! We had a family of five all hungry and craving some ice cream, and everyone was HAPPY! The waffle cones were fresh, the shake was thick, and there were tons of flavors to choose from to make everyone happy! It's a rather small ice cream and candy store, but the line moves quickly. The employees were cheerful, and seemed to really like their jobs! I did feel like the prices were a little higher than most places, but worth paying for the homemade ice cream and good service! read more

This review is solely for the small $55 ice cream cake. Plenty to feed 8, but there is no cake part; ice cream thru and thru. Secondly, how can one serve a cookies and cream cake without decorative Oreos? Save your time and drive a little further to the DQ. read more

I loved the vibe in the store it was nice but don't judge a book by its cover. The ice cream wasn't that great but the candy and chocolate was good. My family went when it was busy so they were working fast...kinda rushing you. If you're interested in one trend called Dubai chocolate they have that with many other choices.i don't recommend the ice cream but if you want a treat come here! read more

Wonderful homemade ice cream and it's perfect on a hot summer's day! My family and I stop by several times while on vacation, and we just love the ice cream and the service here! It's a cute ice cream shop, and nestled perfectly close to the neighborhood that we were staying in. We cannot wait to come back as we vacation here as a family annually! Thank you so much for the lovely treats! read more

Big Bucks - Delicious Homemade Ice Cream - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Corolla, North Carolina

The best ice cream in the area. That said not the best I've had. The milk content is higher and cream content lower than I prefer. This results in a weak mouth feel with a lacking creaminess. It is a solid commercial ice cream that is better than the Blue Bunny or (ugh) Hershey's that seem to be ubiquitous on the Outer Banks. One day an ice cream place will open that is ultra premium and does not use unnecessary artificial color. Maybe with unique flavors. Until that happens we have Bucks read more

Overpriced but also understandable in a tourist area. Ice cream is a bit too heavy for my liking. The classic ice cream experience and pretty fast for how busy it was. I did visit again even though I do prefer the classic Hershey ice cream over bucks. read more

I came to Big Buck after finding out that nearby The Chill Place was closed for the season (as of Oct. 1). It took a minute of wondering around Timbuk Shopping Center to find it, but I'm glad I did. The shop has an ice cream half and a fudge/candy/chocolate delight half. I ordered for our group, which was a bit of a process only because I'd originally planned to order moose tracks ice cream, which they don't have. However, the shopkeeper was friendly and remade a moose tracks-esque version with a cone. I had a cake batter shake, which wasn't amazing but was good. The shakes are also pretty large (at least compared to Washington DC standards)! If you're looking for a milkshake and it's off season, keep Big Buck on your list. read more

Delicious homemade icecream with a lot of flavor to choose from. Love the banana flavor one they use real banana. And the sea salt caramel really have a good kick. The service was a bit slow I was just watching three them behind walking around but not Serving customers. It took a little time to get the Oder, I guess they are very young not very familiar with the tools. read more

Big Bucks is a staple ice cream place in Tim Buck II. My family goes there every time we're in OBX and are never disappointed. They have a variety of flavors for everyone's taste buds and have a fun variety of waffle cones! read more

Didn't even make it, they changed the name and it's no longer Big Bucks. Looked all around for Big Bucks until we figured it out. No business for no updated info! read more

I visited Big Buck with my employer and her family and friends. They decided to go to Big Buck (I guess it's the second year they've gone during vacation). The line was super long but they were quick with orders and were friendly. I got a vanilla ice cream with fudge and a little umbrella. The ice cream was good and a nice treat during the summer heat. The location is almost perfect and is near some small attractions. read more

Don't forget to take your wallet, 2 ice creams one single scoop and one double scoop $19.76 . Had same order last week and was different price but different location. Now I understand why they call it BIG BUCKS $$$$$ read more

Points for having TONS of flavor options but some where a little bland and left a little to be desired. Sensory sensitive people - opt out. Location is very small, very crowded and full of unnecessary merch. Toys! Candy! Shirts! Plushies! Too much too much. Also only one door in and out makes entering and exiting when you're in a crowd a little complicated. No inside seating. Limited outside seating at benches around the other shops. Would probably look for some place else before heading back here again. read more

Super tasty ice cream and would absolutely recommend to someone in Corolla looking for a local made treat. Minus one star because it was PACKED and I was the only masked person including staff. Covid is going up and it just felt really reckless. read more

Ice-y Ice Cream... barely any fat content and you can taste the high water volume in the flakes of ice in their ice cream. It's probably more apt to label it as "frozen dairy treat" than ice cream at this point. Service also left much to be desired. They wouldn't allow me to buy 3 scoops and pay for a cake cone as an extra charge. You can only get a cake cone with a single scoop. Why, do you ask? So they can nickel and dime their customers and making sure you don't buy a 3-scoop size and share with anyone. You must buy your own single or double scoop if you want a cone or cup. They won't give you extra cups or anything either. My recommendation? Go get a pint of Häagen-Dazs, Ben & Jerry's, or Tilamook ice cream from the grocery store with some cones. read more

Very good Ice cream, pricey but deliciousness and their chocolate so good! The best chocolate cover rice crispy with M&M's. Yummmmmmmm! read more

Went last night with a party of 9. Our traditional / annual visit. Expect to wait; the line feels like it doesn't move at all. But they don't skimp on the portions even if pricey for ice cream. You can't get two scoops in a cone unless you get a waffle cone. Forced upcharging! And where did the flavor board disappear to? This is a mainstay in Corolla and always has a line; Always! Good ice cream. Slow and steady service. A must visit once per trip. read more

Good old fashioned ice cream shop. Yummy flavors and toppings and many cone choices. Fun to get a cone and walk around or watch go karts and golf. read more

The line was out the door for this place on a Monday night. They had a good selection of flavors but I think too many chocolate options for me but know your demographics. There was really only 2 choices for me The melon or the strawberry I went with the melon. I was quite surprised at how refreshing it was. Not too sweet and a very nice natural fruit melon flavor. The shakes were very large and you could get a wide selection of ice cream sizes. I thought the up charge for the fancy cones (waffle or waffle coated) at $2 was a bit expensive. Everyone seemed to be enjoying their treats. read more

REALLY GOOD ICE CREAM AND FUDGE. Its homemade and the staff are friendly! They also have a ton of other options like frozen teas and smoothies and chocolate. I got the s'mores fudge and the heath fudge and they're soooooooo good. $12.50 for a box of two. My future father in law had the mint chocolate chip ice cream and said it was delicious. read more

We are at 2 different locations of big bucks and we were not disappointed! Great ice cream, lots of choices for everyone including non dairy sorbet, all homemade and fantastic flavor! Definitely will be back! read more

Ice cream is mediocre. We are trying to decide between 2 or 3 flavors to get a pint and after sampling 1 flavor we were told that was it and we weren't allowed to try others. Service was not great. Probably won't be back. read more

Staff was friendly and the place was clean. Just wasn't good iced cream. I had much anticipated much a good iced cream just wasn't It. Would rather go in the food lion and get iced cream and take It home. read more

Great ice cream. Homemade and can't go wrong with any flavor. Will most likely be back again this week.

Do you take sugar? One lump or two? With apologies to Def Leppard, all I could think of when I was in this place was "Pour Some Sugar On Me". I think they must have been singing about this confection shop because I have never seen so much sugar in one place. Candy, chocolates, fudge, ice cream...it was overwhelming! It was not crowded when my friends and I, with four kids in tow, climbed the stairs to this second floor ice creamery. We had all eaten our dinners and therefore deserved the treat of ice cream. There are enough flavors for variety but not so many that you are overwhelmed (although I was halfway through my double scoop before some decisions were finalized). The ice cream was good and the service was great. There is also a coffee bar but we focused on the ice cream and the experience was wonderful. True, we did have some hopped up kids to deal with for awhile but it was worth it. read more

Really bad ice cream. I know you expect ice cream to be overpriced in touristy areas, but we were at least hoping it would taste alright. It was clear that it had very low cream content and just wasn't good quality. As other reviews have mentioned, I'm not sure that it should actually be called "ice cream" instead of "frozen dairy treat". It was also very expensive. The server wasn't very friendly and limited someone in our group to one sample, despite the rest of us not trying any samples before ordering. If I could do it all over again, I'd go to the grocery store located right next to it and buy any other ice cream from there. read more

I'm right down the middle on this one. I think the ice cream here was good - not outstanding. It'll definitely cost you some "big bucks" though. $5 for a single scoop. $7 for a waffle cone with 2 scoops. The store does have a 10 person limit, although that didn't seem to be enforced. Also thought it was worth noting that the employees weren't using gloves as they were handling the ice cream cones. Stop here (or don't). It'll fill that ice cream shaped hole that you have in your belly and leave a hole in your wallet instead. read more

Great homemade ice cream! We had the cookie dough, mint chocolate chip, espresso chip and the sea salt caramel.

Not many ice cream places to choose from open in the evening in Corolla. So my husband and I got ice cream at Big Buck a couple times while vacationing in Corolla. The ice cream was very good. Lots of different flavors to choose from. Would recommend Big Buck if you need your ice cream fix. read more

The homemade hard ice cream here is delicious. We tried three different flavors and all were great.

This place was delicious! Line was really long, almost deterred us from eating there, but we noticed the line moved very fast! Very efficient service! Ice cream was delicious. We all enjoyed ourselves. Cones immediately dripped from the bottom, so be careful of that. read more

Big Bucks....how I love to hate thee. Haha We have been coming here for years! The line is ALWAYS incredibly long but they do a great job of moving people through as quickly as possible. The last few visits I have felt like the flavors available are a bit less creative than usual, which is a bummer. But the quality of the ice cream never disappoints!! We have even gotten ice cream cakes to celebrate birthdays on vacation and they're awesome too! I always dread going and waiting in line, but it's a quintessential part of every OBX vacation and it always proves worth it!!! #peanutbutterbananaicecream read more

The Short haired older woman working there is very rude. Ice cream is fine. Nothing special

Great, fresh ice cream. Fyi yelp, this place does not close until 10:30pm... so glad I got some!!
