Place is always packed, but it's worth the wait and the owners have figured out how to minimize the time you spend in line. They've done an amazing job updating a family-owned business and bringing in new ideas, flavors and treats. A MUST VISIT, if you're on LBI.

Any flavor you could dream up, they will make it soft serve! Don't believe me? Then just go! We went almost every night we were in LBI. Mango, Black Raspberry and Black Cherry were so good! The kids loved Cotton Candy and Tutti Frutti. And I am not sure why, but I am lactose intolerant, and I did not have... More

Skipper Dipper was by far the most delish ice cream we had on LBI (and this is from a family of fanatics). In addition to the classics, we found tempting flavors like pumpkin, carmel salt and banana foster. It also serves soft ice cream and fair assortment of ices and sherbets. Skipper's has an amazing dark chocolate hot fudge, so... More

The staff was very friendly. The soft serve ice cream was excellent; however I was a little disappointed by the cookie cone. There were a few picnic tables outside which controbuted to an overall pleasant overall experience.

I've been vacationing on LBI since I was a kid, and getting ice cream at skipper dipper is a tradition. The line moves quickly due to the friendly staff, and there is a great selection of ice cream. The cake batter is not what my daughter expected ( had cake, not batter like cold stone creamery) but I enjoyed it.... More

The flavors offered are delicious- especially the Maine blueberry and chocolate chip cookie (not cookie dough). Their waffle cones are fresh and tasty! During our week vacation, we got ice cream here 5 nights! Worth every penny! A must!

Went to Skipper Dipper's on our family vacation to LBI. Everyone got something different, and loved it. I personally got the dairy free ice cream (vegan) and it was so good. I seriously want to drive back there again to get it again! Thanks Skipper Dipper for thinking of the vegans :)

This place rocks. Their servers are attentive, sweet (like the ice cream) and they know their business well. Even if the line is long, it moves fast due to their organization and helpful staff. There is both soft and hard ice cream. If you'll be on the island for a while, be sure to get their ice cream card so... More

Although B&J's Cherry Garcia is my favorite flavor, thought I would give Skipper Dipper a try. And I am really happy I did. Beside the large portions and low prices they have great ice cream and great service.
