Great stop for ice cream, it was expensive but even the smalls are enormous. Next time I'd probably just split a small with someone, as they seem on board with adding 2 flavors to one cup but the sign does say 1 flavor only (maybe your scooper will be more agreeable). Make sure to bring cash. There is some seating outside and seemingly always a long line to order when it's hot out. Luckily the line moved quickly. There is a huge list of flavors, so inspect them before it's your time to order. I got the bourbon maple pecan which tastes a bit like a butter pecan but with a more intense flavor and a bit of a kick and the Maine blueberry. Both were great, but the blueberry was both unique and out of this world! A great flavor to try while in Maine. There is also a Maine blueberry pie which I was also curious about. I was delighted by the flavor options and the taste. Great place for a summer treat! read more

"Oh, daddy You soothe me with your smile You're letting me know You're the best thing in my life" (Fleetwood Mac) We were in Wells on the past weekend, and to our surprise not all of the ice cream shops had opened for the season. Some were, some weren't. But fortunately, Big Daddy's were! And to prove it, there was one helluva healthy line of customers waiting to get their frozen fix in a cup or a cone. They have around 50 ice cream flavors, plus some sorbets, sherberts, and yogurts. We were so intrigued by one of their flavors that we both ordered it. I mean, c'mon, when have you ever seen Banana Chocolate Chip on a menu? It was excellent. Smooth and creamy with a definite banana flavor and plenty of chocolate chips. A Kiddie portion was a pricey $6.95, but in all fairness, that Kiddie portion was equal in size to some of the "small" scoops we've had over the years at various ice cream joints. Big Daddy has four locations in the Wells, Ogunquit, and Kennebunkport area, so if you're up this way during the summer, you won't be too far from experiencing an experience with Big Daddy! read more

We stopped in for the famous Maine blueberry pie ice cream and it was INCREDIBLE! Our son ordered the "kid sized" sugar cone and it was huge! I also ordered the strawberry frappe and it was very good as well. The service was very fast and friendly. The outside has plenty of parking and picnic benches to sit while you enjoy. We will be back! read more

Big Daddy's Ice Cream - Maine blueberry pie kid sized cone - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Wells, Maine

We stopped here after reading some amazing reviews and I must say that we weren't disappointed by the flavors. The ice cream was rich and flavorful and not very hard on the pocket as well. We loved the amazing flavors which were freshly made. Its a small place where you order at the window and they serve you at the next one. I am not sure if they have seating as well. There are some outdoor benches though. There was a queue when we reached here and rightly so. The blueberry pie seems to be the favorite among the locals and it tasted great. The portion was huge, we all ordered two scoops and realized it was too much to finish The only reason I am giving a 4 star was because my wife had ordered chocolate peanut butter flavor and was served chocolate chip and when we asked the servers they were rude about it and blamed it on us. Also, the servers did not have any idea if these ice creams had eggs in them. Overall definitely a must-try for the creaminess and fresh flavors but keep a good eye on what you order or else you might be served something different and you will be held responsible for it read more

Went to BD today to celebrate a small win and buy a medium Sunday! The cost was $2.50 more than what was on the sign. They told me we raised the prices but didn't update our signs. Been going there for 40 years I may got to Hannaford and buy my own ingredients henceforth! read more

It's Ice Cream........it's OK it's Expensive but it's Ice Cream......not the old Big Daddy's it used to be

Excellent ice cream and many flavors to choose from. Sort of expensive, but worth it! We always go there when we visit Wells Beach, Maine.

We did not realize there are two locations! We visited the one in Ogunquit a couple weeks ago and it was PHENOMENAL! Last year we visited the one in Elms (past Wells). The homemade ice cream and range of flavors is out of this world! My son ordered a flight and a small (hey, it's vacation, right?) and he couldn't finish it all so we all got to enjoy tasting the different flavors that he chose. The coffee is like tasting a strong brew with cream and sugar. It's like eating an iced coffee - delicious! The other three flavors were cookies and cream, cherry amaretto I think, and peanut butter cup. Whoa! I can't get over how delicious. The caramel pavan crunch (I think that's what it was called?) is what I ordered and my oh my, I'm glad I only ordered a small. I could eat about three larges. LOL. My husband had a brownie sundae. Such a classic but this time, the homemade ice cream really elevated it. He was in love. You really should stop by for a visit. You cannot ever be disappointed. The staff are friendly, the atmosphere is happy and clean, and you're going to eat the best homemade ice cream in Maine. Mmmm. read more

Excellent homemade ice cream. Lots of flavors, some unique ones. Provides jobs for cheerful college kids.

BEST. ICE CREAM. EVER.!! Last year was us trying to compare various ice cream shops around southern coastal Maine (often at the expense of gaining a good amount of fat!). But this is hands down the best place in town to get ice cream. It shares a spot with Bay let's in Scarborough (a bit of a drive for us). The kids serving here are super friendly. TIP- they only take cash read more

Big Daddy's ice cream was soooo good. My daughter and I shared a flight . We had peach, red raspberry chip, Maine blueberry and chocolate carmel. The ice cream was very creamy . The Maine blueberry was recommended and it did not disappoint. The peach lacked flavor, but the others were very good. They have an indoor seating area, decorated like a 50's diner. It was a nice alternative to eat . They only accept cash. The flight was $9 , and the scoops were generous. read more

Awesome place. Huge selection of flavors! First time here, always go to another place a few miles down route 1. The kids suggested this place as they visited it with their grandparents and loved it. Had the Maine Blueberry Pie flavored ice cream, it was incredible. Seems like it's a big hit there was quite a few people there enjoying it. Will definitely be back to try out all the other unique flavors they offer! read more

Absolutely monster serving sizes. Their waffle cone in particlar is just straight up daunting. I'd go for small sizes if you can here.

The best ice cream I've ever had . The Blueberry is heavenly !!! I had it twice and even brought friends to the shop to try , they loved it . Will be back . read more

We liked the ice cream that we bought. A small cone is more like a large portion. Can not imagine how big, a large is. $4.75 for a small cone. A short wait on a warm Sunday afternoon. Many creative and exotic flavors are available. read more

This Ice cream is handmade goodness, it was obvious because of the long line on a Tuesday night. Two of us got double scoops and we couldn't finish them. Another one got a chocolate malt (not what they called them) and she enjoyed hers. My hubby also ordered a malt (was supposed to be thin so he could drink it from the straw but he wasn't able to do so) but the flavor was great. Would recommend. The line went very fast. read more

Fantastic ice cream and the nicest employees. Portions are huge. A small would pass for a large in most other ice cream shops.

Terrible customer service. There were 3 workers and only 2 words were spoken to me. Apparently I didn't even deserve eye contact. Also my cone broke immediately and there is currently ice cream dripping down my knuckles. Ambience was hostile. read more

I enjoy making ice cream and am quite picky when it comes to frozen dairy treats. I often come out of ice cream shops feeling disappointed. But Big Daddy's did not disappoint! We took a detour from the freeway to check out this place and we are so glad we did! The Maine blueberry ice cream was just the perfect combination of subtle blueberry flavor and sweetness. We will definitely be back for more in the future. read more
