I am here to report that Skipper Dipper is still the best soft serve on the island. We brought our…read morebaby for opening day yesterday. The staff, as always, couldn't have been nicer (tip your servers, folks! I forgot and had to go back in with cash because they are the nicest) and the ice cream was 10/10 per usual. My husband got vanilla soft serve and I got a cranberry chocolate swirl (my favorite) in a chocolate chip cone. Baby had nothing since she's too little. Worth every penny. Happy 48th year, SD! We're your biggest fans. See you in July or August for baby's first scoop of her own.

Do NOT sleep on Big Dipper Ice Cream! This place blew my mind with the amount of ice cream flavors…read morethey had to offer. I made the mistake of coming here solo and then having to call hubby to read to him alllll the flavors because I couldn't dare do that for him. One flavor sounds better than the next - strawberry cheese cake - what?! Moosetracks? Yeah, i'm gonna need that too! Then they trip you up with toppings! Too many decisions! I'm on vacation! I opted to get two scoops for each of us because no one walks outta here with just one. I got the strawberry cheesecake and moosetracks - a deadly sinful combo, while I got for hubby pistachio and cookies n' cream. We didn't come up for air while eating these! I found these flavors to be far superior to Ship Bottom Ice Cream - yes - I said it! There's a reason why everyone comes here as soon as the sun comes down. It's a great little family establishment with the hardest working teenagers and young adults I've ever seen. Sit on the benches outside or drive back to your beach rental and enjoy while watching the sunset. HUGE fan!

Go here for the best ice-cream on the island and huge generous portions! We've been coming here for…read moreyears and keep coming back despite trying many other ice-cream joints on the island. This is our go to!! I love the coconut icecream with rainbow sprinkles and get it everytime. HUGE Generous portions and toppings!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE that they put sprinkles at the bottom of the cup before your ice-cream is scooped to ensure you get sprinkles in every bite! This is a key differentiator that will bring me back every time!! With this "small size" barely anyone is able to finish it...they say it's two scoops but you know no scoop like the Big Dipper...it does live up to its name! If you ever saw the movie Uncle Buck the best way to describe the portions if you imagine how it was when uncle buck has to "eat and finish the grizzle" for the steak eating competition and it's nearly impossible! I used to get a lid and would save 1/2 in our freezer when we were staying in Harvey cedars but now we are further away so that's no longer an option. TIP: After several years of ordering the "small" (which is anything but small) I noticed they have a "Little Dipper single scoop" option and went this route this time without whipcream or the cherry...which was a smart choice...as it was still a generous portion but I was able to finish it this time! Before, I felt like I was often unable to finish the "small" and felt bad throwing out 1/2 the ice-cream...every time...there's so much wasted. One time I told my son to just give me his mint chip before he threw it out because it's really a big enough portion for two to share. If I was having a birthday on the island I'd like to have an ice-cream cake from here bc Johnny's cakes look like the best ice-cream cakes I've ever seen outside of cold stone creamery. I'm always blown away at the people who order anything other than a small or even the banana splits which offer a ridiculous and obscene amount of dessert. The milk shakes also look amazing if you're into them. The only heads up I'd say is if you have a peanut allergy be careful because I did wind up with a few Reeces pieces in my topping which was actually a nice surprise/accident for me but might not be for everybody esp if you have an allergy. Kids bring your quarters! One other watch out: If you get a blue gum-ball make sure it's the cerulean lighter blue color vs the dark royal blue so you don't get your hopes up about getting a free ice-cream as was the case for us! The staff is always kind even though they have a huge line! No shirt, no shoes is no problem! However the floor is sooo gross and sticky I'd highly recommend wearing footwear!

They…read morehave limited hours in the off season, but their ice cream is just as good as it is during the hot summer months. Cash only and they're also on Grubhub for deliveries. Their medium size sundae was so big, I can't imagine what the large would look like! Certainly enough to feed two people easily. With so much competition on the nearby Island, they're worth giving business to!

As someone that has been visiting since the original opening of Shore Good Donuts, I unfortunately…read morefeel like the quality of the food here has gone downhill. I ordered the inside-out jelly which was very disappointing. Not only was the donut itself very stale-tasting, but the hole in the donut was huge, so the moment I picked it up, all the jelly fell out and it was extremely messy and difficult to eat. If you're looking for good quality, fresh donuts, I don't think I'd recommend this place despite its location and convenience. There are many other better spots on the island worth the money.

I didn't get to see the shop as my partner picked up donuts, but he told me they make them hot and fresh, so when he brought them they were still warm and nice. We tried Boston Cream and lemon glazed. Both were delicious, BC was exceptionally good. Donuts are soft and not overly sweet. Highly recommend them for beach days.

I am so happy to find a place that serves delicious dairy free ice cream. They accept cash and credit cards for payment and have a nice size parking lot. Seating is also available inside. I will definitely return!

My kiddos love a good arcade so we had to stop by and check it out. Our Endless Summer is a smaller sized arcade but it was perfect to spend an hour or so there. There were lots of claw games (and many were play until you win, which is a win for me). There was also skee-ball, basketball, the usual video games, etc. What really stood out was the prize selection. They had SO many different types of prizes for a reasonable amount of tickets. My kids left with so much loot! And the girl who was helping out with the prizes, was so VERY nice and patient while my kids decided what to spend all their winnings on. There is also a small spot to grab ice cream (on the inside and outside). The spot might be small but they offer many flavors and combos. I highly recommend checking out Our Endless Summer when visiting LBI. It's a nice little break!

And my husband got a Nutella Shake - Dr. Nutella which was outstanding. It was not overly sweet and so it tasted great. Service was great too. Definitely, stop by this place for some good food.
