Big Dipper Bar-B-Que

Being from North Carolina.. I really love Barbecue. The pulled pork at Big Dipper is very good. It's one of the best that I've had up North!

Amazing chicken spiedi salad n fast service even when packed

Love the food. Love the staff!

First time ever here today. And for sure we will be back many more times this summer. I didn't try the pulled pork. My fiance and I both had the chicken dinner. Oh my goodness. Imagine the best firemans chicken barbecue you've ever had, and multiply the goodness by 3. It's that good. And the sauce is a vinegar based barbecue sauce, similar to a Carolina style sauce. Amazing. Mac salad and salt potatoes on point as well. Go. Just Go!

I love the bbq chicken here, they also have ribs, pulled chicken and chicken speidies (marinated chicken). The food is fresh and very tasty. The only thing I would change, I would add more side dishes (corn, mashed potatoes, green beans). There are not enough vegetables for side dishes. There's also an ice cream stand on site, which is very good too. Enjoy!

Staff are super helpful and nice. A great lunch spot and outdoor seating!

Good food but the line is just too long. Usually not worth the wait. They need faster service.

Chicken is awesome. Ice cream place next door is cheap and really good.

My chicken wasn't cooked all the way through, the beans were like warm and tasted like the just came from the can, and the Mac salad tasted store bought. They charge you for a roll if you have already picked 2 sides. I've never been to a chicken BBQ where you had to pay extra for the roll. The rolls are always part of the meal!! Including the 2 other sides plus the chicken. I will never ever go again!! I still can't figure out what all the hype was about this place..... Oh well, live & learn, and pass along my experience to anyone I know.

First time I was there and OMG the staff was super polite and ready to help however they could. Plus the BBQ chicken was amazing I will definitely be back.

Hands down the best bbq in the area, we travel over a half an hour just to go here.

Good service. Frendly People. Chicken was a little over cooked and dry bit good.

Awsome chicken bbq, the best around!Pulled pork and ribs are very good too.Out side seating.

Delicious food I ever tasted so good

Ribs were very good. My chicken was a little dry. Good choice of sides. I had salt potatoes and Coleslaw.

Delicious! Great stop by the highway for delicious bbq

By far the best bbq chicken I’ve ever had. Never miss eating here when I’m back in town. I would kill (or at least seriously maime) for the marinade recipe!

Fantastic food good place to stop. Quick xeroxed but it was after 2pm

Have always loved the big dipper bbq but this visit was not exceptional. Very little meat on the chicken. The salt potatoes were hard and service sub par. It may be a while before we go back.

The people are great the prices are great for what we get, the food we really enjoy the way they do their chicken. You need to hurry they will be closing for the year soon

Food and ice cream great

Best BBQ I've ever had, hand's down. I had the pulled one sub with potato salad & baked beans. The food was also made very quickly. Definitely a repeat customer

Great bbq, line moves fast, 1/2 chicken dinner 2 sides $10, ribs, pulled chicken and pork sandwiches. Potatoe salad, salt potatoes, mac &cheese, Cole slaw, beans, fruit salad. DrinksLight bbq sauce, not a bunch of sticky sweet, but with tangy zesty flavour, hint of rosemary lemon, tender and juicy chicken, pulled pork excellent on a 8" roll, giant grill, safe food handling, friendly tesn behind the counter. 5 people $50 buck and you will be stuffed!

Ordered chicken dinners food was delicious only disappointment was they were out of beans

Pretty good for the price, be sure to also get ice cream across the parking lot.

Grabbed the ribs, pulled pork, baked beans and some potato rolls for dinner tonight. It was my first time going to eat here, and I've gotta say that I'm disappointed in myself for waiting for so long to try this place out! The ribs fell off the bone, super juicy and the perfect amount of bbq sauce. Pulled pork was delicious, I'd rank it with Texas Road House, but a much more homestyle take (better, really). Highly recommended.

All chickens dream of being bathed in Al's marinade and cooked over their charcoal. Absolutely the BEST chicken BBQ in the area. Many a hungry traveler has been lured in by the smoke wafting across the highway. The sides offered are delicious and fresh. I eat there at least once a week.

Late summer and we needed a plan for our company picnic. Someone suggested Big Dipper so I checked them out. I was impressed by their responsiveness and gave them a $300 order over the phone based on me telling them the number of people and responding to their suggestions of offerings, sides and all the rest. They did not require a deposit. When I showed up at 11:00 am to pick up the order, it was ready. Here's the good part. Everyone loved the food. We of course had chicken but we had pulled pork as an option and sides to match. And when everyone rolled away from their tables, we were all very well fed and there wasn't much left to go to waste. Well done Big Dipper. Great recommendations for great food which ended up being an epic company picnic at EMS Technologies, Inc.

Such a delicious BBQ joint. Fast service, and always amazing portions for the price. Definitely a go-to when I'm craving BBQ.

The barbecue chic an speedies was great but the salads we're so so. The pasta salad had way 2 much garlic in it.

Easy parking and the best sundies/ice cream..worth the trip..

I drive all the way from Ithaca as much as possible because I know that I'll be more than satisfied every time. One of the only true pit bbq stops in the state, and is my personal favorite. Go heavy on the sauce with your chicken!

Super amazing BBQ and super fast service. Can't beat that!

Love the mint dark chocolate ice cream it's amazing will go again.

The food is amazing and the people are so friendly! If you're in the are or on highway 86, be sure to stop and grab some ribs, chicken, or pulled pork. Yum!

Love this place, back in my hometown for a visit to see my kids. Could not believe how they have changed, and expanded the menu. My husband had ribs and chicken, I and my son had chicken. They never had ribs when I was there before, and they now have pulled pork and speedies. I wanted to try everything, I had some of my hubby's ribs, and the guy cooking must have heard me say I wanted to try the speedies, because he brought over a sampling of them. Lip shaking delicious. I was going to post a pictures of our meals but we all enjoyed the chicken and ribs, there was nothing left. We went to the "Big Dipper" next door and they had so many flavors of ice cream. I had a simple strawberry milkshake, was very good. Wish I had these two places where I am, they would clean up with business.

I've been to about 15 open pit barbecues and this is the best

Got the ribs they were very dry and seemed to be over cooked. Last year everything just good this year not so good. Will try again. Maybe just a bad day

The portions are not disappointing. Great food. Bring x-tra napkins Do not pass it by. Ice cream is good too - if you dare!!

I haven't tried the barbecue but the associated ice cream stand is first rat soft serve. I can say that the barbecue stand is typically crowded

They always have great food. You have to be early so they don't sell out.

The singularly BEST chicken bbq dinner I have ever eaten! Juicy but completely cooked through, great portion value and the sides we sampled were just as carefully made delicious. We had quick and efficient service (this is a bbq place, not a timed fast food drive thru), friendly staff and the current layout is well thought out for there unique times. The star of the show? Holy smokes...the sauce!!! Reminded me old time fire station sauce that I havent tasted in years. The sauce isn't shy on its spices and flavor, yet neither is it loud or obnoxious. Just truly SPECTACULAR. You can SEE, taste and smell the goodness! We are excited about working our way through other menu items! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Didn't live up to the hype for me but was still good. Definitely worth the money for the amount of food you get. I'm not a huge fan of the chicken sauce. But overall a decent meal.

Excellent pulled pork. The macaroni salad was superb as well. Large portions and a good value

Great food, bbq's chicken, pulled chicken, pulled pork, ribs, etc salads and drinks. Great place to stop in and eat at the picnic tables or to take home. You may also want to eat and then have an ice cream without moving your vehicle.

Ice cream is the very best!! Great prices and fast service.

Great BBQ chicken. Real tasty and very reasonable prices. Definitely should stop if your in the area.

On the way home from Fredonia, this place caught my eye. So pumped I stopped!! Great BBQ ribs, chicken were on point! Fun environment with the outdoor seating. If your driving by STOP it’s 100% worth it :)

Love the ribs! Great food!

Small place next door to an ice cream stand. Pretty good BBQ chicken and above average pulled pork. Outdoor picnic table seating (some covered), no alcohol, and limited sides (baked beans, salt potatoes, cole slaw, macaroni & potato salads). Half chicken or dark meat (3 legs). It's not unusual for them to run out of chicken by 6 on a nice day.
