I usually come here once during each annual trip to Maine for my sweet fix. Big Licks is in a prime spot on the main road leading to the pier, beach, and amusement park. They have plenty of flavors and generous serving sizes. I'm a fan of moose tracks, caramel, and brownie/fudge flavors. I've never had a bad cup of ice cream here. It's a little more expensive, but not surprising for its location and probably seasonal operation. Service is good and quick, especially when they get busy. @azfitfoodfun read more

Ice cream has no flavor. Chocolate has no taste. Would not recommend this place. Would say Dairy Queen would be a better choice.

Great ice cream spot on the pier, lots of flavor options with huge portions! Highly recommend read more

DELICIOUS!! We walked in on a whim but glad we did! Cash only. ATM next door. Right next to the pay 50 cents bathroom. The counterperson was extremely nice, even made a small cone for the baby (but he's too young!) The kids made crazy combinations. My husband had a coffee shake. I had cake batter ice cream. It was extremely smooth and creamy. My husband and I just said a few days ago how good their ice cream was! I would DEFINITELY have this ice cream again! read more

brown sugar pop tart ice cream made me feel like a little kid, but the title of this establishment reminded me of my age

ordering process and service were good. unfortunately the ice cream lacked flavor. All four in our party felt the same. The chocolate had no discernible taste at all. Wish we'd gone elsewhere. read more

Extremely good you should really go The surf is amazing. Ice cream is really good . Please come here read more

The only positive about Big Licks is that it is open later than the rest of its competition in downtown Old Orchard Beach (in fact, late operating hours are the only reason I patronized it). Otherwise, the ice cream is worse than what I can buy at the grocery store, and it is absurd that an establishment like this is "cash only" in 2023. read more

I haven't had a big lick until today but it really made me wanna get my freak on. I ordered the coffee kaluha brownie and the brownie to coffee ratio was about 6:9 which I feel is appropriate. Overall very good, but cash only?? I mean who carrys cash nowadays? read more

Came in after dinner and many flavors to choose from! I ordered the peanut butter cup with vanilla base in a waffle cone bowl. My dad ordered the cherry chocolate chip on a cone. Both "single" scoops which were huge. Definitely worth the money. read more

Great ice cream with generous portions. Never been disappointed and highly recommend.

Stopped in for ice cream on Tuesday. Both of us got our scoops in cups instead of cones because of the heat. My single scoop of mint Oreo cookie filled the cup! The missus two scoops were quite the tower! Her chocolate brownie had large brownie chunks (my mint had lots of cookies). Ice cream was creamy but mild flavors. Still good choice on a hot day. Caveat on cash only (though every corner seems to have an ATM). I found their menu boards tough to read unless real close to the counter. Poor choice of color versus background on many items so you might have to ask more questions. Staff helpful. Sorry no pictures this time. read more

Cash only! This place has decent ice cream and portions, but not my favorite by any means. I had coffee Oreo, which wasn't very "coffee". My daughter had brownie batter chunk, which we both liked. read more

Stopped by on a Saturday afternoon. There was no wait. We ordered 3 scoops to share, and it was huge. The service was great and they gave us a bowl so the ice cream wouldn't fall over. We tried the Cookie Monster, lemon cookie, and coffee Kahlua brownie. All the flavors were delicious and creamy! read more

I don't know if the signage is too small or if I was just too overwhelmed by all the small children in the shop but I was confused about the ordering process. Usually at ice cream shops I order and take the ice cream to the cashier to pay, but it's set up the other way here. I got the cookie monster ice cream sandwich which is pretty massive, in my opinion. The ice cream was pretty good and so were the cookies, but it was difficult to eat as a sandwich because the cookies weren't soft. They weren't hard exactly, but it just didn't work to eat as sandwich especially since there's so much ice cream in it. I opted to eat it with a spoon instead. read more

This sounds like a great idea at first--an ice cream place underneath a club--(Weekend at Bernie's)..but as you are sitting outside and later see cops pull up it might not be the absolute best idea ha. Great for adults, awkward with kids coming in and out while club goers are heading up the side steps with a smoking spot off to the side. The workers were nice and gave HUGE portions. Ice cream was alright. I got brownie batter. The chocolate didn't taste homemade and the brownie didn't taste amazing. I probably wouldn't go back. read more

The line was long each night we went, but worth the wait! The place has so many items to choose from and was so good! The price seems a little high but when you see the size of your ice cream..WOW, worth every penny! The store was clean and the staff was friendly and seemed to like their job! Can't wait to visit next summer! read more

The ice cream is great and place is conveniently located. The prices weren't bad either. Need to put up a more conspicuous sign indicating cash only! read more

Great home made ice cream. They have a lot of great flavors. Plenty of outdoor seating and the staff was very friendly.

The ice cream here was delicious. Be warned when you get ice cream it is HUGE a medium is 2 scoops the size of tennis balls. The service was fast for 3 people. You should totally come here. read more

It can be busy. Ice cream was amazing. Their one scoop is like 3 scoops! Staff was pretty good. Good experience.

I love their icecream it's some of the best I have ever had and reasonable priced. I Would definitely recommend if you are near old Orchard Beach read more

Anything with Fruity Pebbles has my attention and they had a white chocolate dipped waffle cone with Fruity Pebbles! The ice cream was great, but it was cash only so we had to pool money together after visiting the arcade across the street :.D read more

Pretty good ice cream, cash only, sat on a bench outside and enjoyed the old school jams from next door along with my ice cream after the Thursday night fireworks! read more

Big Licks - KIDS SCOOP of salted caramel cashew - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Old Orchard Beach, Maine

Really creamy and super tasty! Place is spotless and service super quick.

Cash only which is a red flag for me. The ice cream is obviously made with extracts as the raspberry ice cream is bright pink and tastes fake. The chocolate chips are delicious though. The "espresso bean" ice cream was clearly made with instant coffee which was a let down. On the bright side, the pistachio ice cream was filled with pistachios although it was lime green which again is a little off putting. read more

Big Licks - Raspberry with chocolate chips - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Old Orchard Beach, Maine

Disgusting food handling. Person at register handling cash had mask below his nose, yawning with mouth open, takes hat off and rubs his head back and forth ...then proceeds to scoop ice cream without washing hands or putting gloves on. He takes the cone sticking his fingers in, and continues to scoop ice-cream still with his mask below his nose. He dips the scooped ice cream into the bin of sprinkles immersing his fingers in the process. Somewhere in between, he manages to take his hat off again and rubs his head. I don't fault the employee who was working hard, but shame on the owners of the establishment who do not properly train their staff-- this is sub-standard food handling regardless of Covid ... no hand sanitizers available FYI... especially in a cash-only environment??? read more

Dark chocolate, sea salt and caramel is almost as good as Mt. Desert (gold standard).

Molly Murnane and Margaret Franz are two of the most hardest working young ladies I have ever met. They gave me the biggest scoops of all time and it but a smile on my face. Best shift leaders I know, I hope they are doing well. read more

I had the cheesecake ice cream, it was very good also tried the naked sweet cream was also very good.

This ice cream place looks very nice and was good when I got it last year. This year the staff was very unprofessional eating and dancing behind the counter. Family got a milkshake that was all milk with chunks of ice cream and their peanut butter cup ice cream is just vanilla ice cream with few caramel cups. Would easily support any family business rather than this! read more

Would love to give 5 stars for the Wonderful ice cream, however, this was my second visit to your establishment. We waited at least 45 mins (with two very small children) for our ice cream. Please hire more help! Two girls making ice cream for customers lined up outside the door is not sufficient! read more

Delicious ! We had the white chocolate dipped waffle cones, mine with sprinkles as well. The cheesecake ice cream was fabulous and the salted caramel cashew was perfect! One of the best ice creams we've had in a while. read more

Chocolate chips ice cream rules, everyone got one. Served diligently by young kids from the block, leave a tip for their college funds please :-) read more

Not bad, but overpriced. I guess that's the norm near the beach though. As another reviewer mentioned, it's right under a club so sitting outside on the bench at 5 pm meant loud music and rowdy bar goers upstairs. read more

I was truly blown away by this ice cream store. I felt like it should be on an upscale shopping street or high end mall. It comes off as a chain because the branding and cleanliness and look were perfectly done. I mean this place was spotless and their brand was spot on. Now about the ice cream - delicious, creamy, and abundant! Many flavors and servings were huge. Prices were cheap - I felt like the sundae (regular size) could have fed 3 people and it was $5!! Homemade hot fudge was like melted real fudge! Delicious! The staff was not overly friendly but "enough" and helpful with questions. No need for the micro mini shorts either - I thought that was a bit gimmicky. The store and the ice cream should be a enough for this place! Because it was truly 5 stars. read more

I don't expect good food in a tourist trap location like this, right across from the amusement park, but this was really good. Excellent ice cream with good mouth feel and intersting flavors. The price was reasonable for the location and then the large size of the single scoop made it a great price! We had two different flavors and couldn't decide which was better. read more

Huge scoops of ice cream, lots of great flavors. I especially enjoyed the blueberry cheesecake flavor!

love this place ice cream is amazing employees are extremely nice portion sizes are generous prices are good for the portions you get. wonderful variety of flavors many choices for any appetite. chocolate dipped cones slap they are sooooo good. read more
