    Peanut butter pie with chocolate shell
    Novella N.

    There are so many ice cream spots on LBI but Skipper Dipper is definitely in my top 5! They sell Giffords so you know every flavor is top tier. They also have a few non-dairy options! I'm a sucker for peanut butter and chocolate so I had to get peanut butter pie with the chocolate shell. Hits the spot every time!

    Tons of ice cream flavors, very efficient fast service for such a busy local attraction down the shore. Accepts both cash and cards -- and has a parking lot on site. Have sizes ranging from kiddie size to large scoops with the ability to choose from 1-2 flavors regardless of the size. Aside from their list of hard ice cream flavors they also have soft serves to choose from, milkshakes, sundaes, ice cream sandwiches and even ice cream carvel style cakes. This isn't a super quick grab and go place due to it's popularity so expect to spend at least 20 mins here. The store itself is a super cute beach town shop that's bright that doesn't offer places to sit down and enjoy your ice cream.

    Best ice cream on the island! Service is fast and efficient. On a hot summer day, the line gets long, but moves quickly. Get a punch card while you're on vacation and earn some free ice cream by the end of the week. Don't be discouraged by the line, you'll be in and out before you know it. Small parking lot next to the building. Take a walk after dinner if you can.

    Great service as always. I never usually catch a line, but this time I did. What I love is that staff members try to take your order while you're in line and still even offer samples if you're unsure. Towards Labor Day weekend they start offering fall flavors like pumpkin pie and cinnamon bun, which is exciting. I got to try a skipper-fy which is adding a chocolate or vanilla soft serve on top of your hard scoop ice cream. It's an amazing choice to do a vanilla Skipperfy with the cinnamon bun ice cream - WOW! Top notch service and ice cream every time, and the people are always so friendly. Skipper dipper is clean , cool, and has a vibe that you'll always want to come back to whenever you're down by LBI. Thanks for a great season!! Looking forward to next year!

    This ice cream shop is an amazing establishment! I met the owners when I went and they were such joyful, pompous individual who loved what they did! Their ice cream was phenomenal and tasted exactly like what you would expect and more. The ambiance was infectious as when we walked through the door we were greeted with a warm welcome and they gave us as many samples as we desired, they even offered us their best flavors to sample. I will be returning regularly to this shop as everything about it was perfect.

    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!

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!

    Best ice cream on LBI - and I'm confident in saying that. (Rita's doesn't count, that is a whole…read moreother category of frozen dessert). I'm all in on the cookies and cream here. Rarely do you find a C&C that is MORE cookies than it is cream, and it is somehow balanced just right. Honorable mentions to the chocolate peanut butter and mint chip, also amazing flavors...and there are plenty more to try. I could end the review here - get the hard ice cream, and even if you go off script you'll be happy with whatever you get. You could ALSO get the banana thing or the ice cream nachos...probably best shared with someone since they are pretty massive. Just know that during peak season there will probably be a wait if you go after dinner. The line may be intimidating, but it moves fast. There are plenty of benches and tables outside if you want to hang out and eat, and some games to play as well. Parking is limited...but you'll definitely find something within a block.
