Years ago when our kids were young, a trip to the Big Dipper Ice Cream in Montana was a cherished…read moreevent. Today, we were in Billings, Montana and gladly stood in line for a scoop of delicious ice cream. A beautiful and clean store that is well staffed in downtown Billings. A few samples were tried, but it is strawberry season and a must try. My wife ordered coconut. We moved outside to sit at the sidewalk tables to people watch and enjoy our scoops. Something must of happened as NEITHER scoop had any flavor. There were no flecks of strawberries or little seeds. Both scoops were devoid of any flavor, a true disappointment. We were both in disbelief. Perhaps, we chose the two flavorless scoops in their summer lineup. I can't answer as to what happened, but we won't return on our next trip to Montana and the Big Dipper Ice Cream. It is never pleasant when your memories don't live up to expectations.

The sweetest part of the experience was Russ, the employee that answered all our questions and helped us with our selections. He was the highlight of our visit. He provided the best service , and had a dynamite personality. We would visit again. Reasonable prices and worth the stop.

We started with the octopus appetizer and a gluten-free pita. The pita seemed more like a basic gluten-free pizza crust than traditional pita, but that was a minor point because the muhammara was excellent and the pita/crust worked really well with the octopus. They also did a good job accommodating gluten-free needs throughout the meal, via a dedicated gluten-free menu. For dinner, I had the stuffed pork chop, which had a somewhat Greek-inspired preparation. It was served over orzo and stuffed with feta and olives. Really flavorful, well executed, and a more interesting preparation than the typical pork chop. My wife had the duck and enjoyed it as well. We paired dinner with a bottle of Nebbiolo. Their overall wine selection was solid. The atmosphere was comfortable and polished without being overly formal, and the staff were friendly and attentive. Good food, interesting menu, nice atmosphere, and strong service.

The stand-alone building reminds me of a little league baseball field hut that serves local treats only in the summer. The two high school aged young ladies ran the show and are bubbly with big smiles. There was a line of families with wagons, dad's with daughters on Harleys and carloads with kids in line. A huge family friendly vibe. Now to the ice cream, shakes, freezes, banana splits, twist cones and sundays. With the ice cream there are at least twelve flavors, dipps and cone sprinkles. I ordered the vanilla ice cream with cherry dip while my wife went with the vanilla and toasted coconut dip. Sizes here are HUGE and a GREAT VALUE. My suggestion is order a size smaller than you normally get. The ice cream was creamy and very cold. My wife thought the toasted coconut dip was amazing. Fancy, Softies is not, but a blast from the past and a reminder of yester years. This is an iconic blast to the past that can't help but make you slow down, take a deep breathe and quickly try to eat your ice cream cone before it melts. Softies, thanks for a flash-back to younger years and providing simple pleasures.

I haven't decided if I like it and that's an odd thing to say about ice cream. I mean - ice cream. What's not to like? My indecision is probably not for a reason expected. The ice cream is smooth, creamy, and you can tell immediately it's a high butterfat ice cream. What's disappointing is the flavor - there's really not much. It looks tasty in the cup or the cone - and kids seem to enjoy it, so perhaps it's just me. If you have trouble deciding,you can get a tiny spoon sampling of a flavor capturing your interest. I've tried a few different flavors, and they all suffer from the same barely-there taste - except perhaps for the Zanzibar chocolate. I guess having three kinds of cocoa must have been enough to amp the overall flavor. Or maybe it's because it was chocolate ,,, because ....chocolate.. The peach has pieces of peach in it; the "This $&@! Just Got Serious" has pieces of cashew; the "Superman" was fun-looking, with three bright colors with the same number of flavors that looked like someone mashed kids play-dough together. All the requisite ingredients are there so I can't figure out the taste deficit. What is impressive is the variety of choices -- at least a dozen. There are a few regular flavors, but also a rotating selection and a special flavor of the week. The ice cream is available in a cone or a cup, or mixed as a sundae or a shake - so there's an option for whatever craving is attacking you at that moment. On a hot day, or when you want to satisfy a sweet tooth, or get the kids a treat without breaking the bank, or just sit outside and enjoy your ice cream and the sunshine, Joe's Cones will do nicely. It's open even as the weather gets cooler, but mostly on the weekends.
