The Big Dipper is a small take-out style ice cream stand and 'restaurant' that has sooo much potential it makes me sad to write this review.

The food was awful, fake nacho cheese sauce for the cheese on the cheese burgers, the "gourmet hot dogs" were tough and had a bad taste to go along with it.

We certainly will be doing this from now on. ...read more
