Here's what Love Food said about Big Dipper.

Big Dipper never disappoints, with seriously creamy house-made ice creams in flavors like cardamom, maple walnut, tangerine sorbet, and huckleberry (a customer favorite). There's a variety of toppings available, including Oreos, peanuts, strawberries, and chocolate chips, plus milkshakes, sundaes, and floats. There are two stores in Missoula, plus locations in Helena, Great Falls, and Billings. Look out for the bright-yellow ice cream truck traveling around Missoula, too.
