“ The new birthday cake shake is amazing! As always, service with a smile and speedy! ”
“ It's a generational landmark. The food is good, the people are nice, this is basically what a hamburger should be. People don't really understand, hamburgers are American street food. And this is what it's supposed to be like. It isn't supposed to be a steak, it isn't supposed to be 2 lbs. It's supposed to be this. I was coming here in high school, I go there now, mostly with my mom. She loves it. It's part of the people, part of the folk stories. You'd be surprised how many little family stories people have that involve on their way to the Big Dipper, or something taking place there. And it's one of the big three places, The old starlight drive places: The Big Dipper, moonlight BBQ, starlight Drive-In (where Kroger's is, it used to be the local Drive-In). Point is the food is really good, and the restaurant is part of the community, part of the people. ”
“ Stopped by for supper after work and the food was absolutely fantastic! Then grabbed a large chocolate shake to enjoy while sitting along the bank of the Ohio river. Will definitely be stopping by again! ”
“ The Big Dipper is a classic from my childhood. I always order a cheeseburger thru the garden, onion rings, and a caramel milkshake. It just doesn't get any better than that. ”
“ What a great experience. The place was packed but still got our order quickly. The onion rings were perfect(hot and crisp) Chocolate milk shake was thick and delicious!!! Don't be discouraged by the line. They are fast. ”
