The Dipper is a great local place with lots of history. It's technically fast food, but much better than your typical fast food restaurants. They accept CASH ONLY so make sure you have it before you go! The Dipper serves a variety of food and ice cream items. The burgers are great, and the potato gems are always perfectly crispy. They also have a pig in the blanket which is a hot dog split in two with cheese in the middle, wrapped in a piece of bacon, deep fried, and put on a bun. Yeah, it sounds like a $2 heart attack, but it's so yummy. However, the caramel shake really steals the show. It's hard to describe how good it is so if you can make it out to the Dipper do yourself a favor and order one!

I recently moved to Owensboro and the Dipper is a great local place with a lot of history. This place is a classic 50s drive thru that hasn't changed much in the last 60 years...which is good. I love the burgers and potato gems. They're just tater tots but they're the best! I also love the pig in a blanket. A hot dog split in half, stuffed with cheese, wrapped in bacon, then deep fried, what's not to love! I've read a couple reviews that say their burgers are chewy or rubbery. I disagree, they add sausage to the patty which gives the burger more bite and a different texture than other burgers but its not off putting and makes the burgers taste unique. By far the best thing is the caramel shake!!!! It's cash only which is a little inconvenient, and it is still fast food, but it's soooo much better than McDonalds...and just as cheap. If you're in Owensboro this is a must try. Get the caramel shake and thank me later.

If you're on a diet, I don't recommend the Big Dipper. However, if you're not, you definitely need to check it out. I have no clue how long this place has been open, but it seems like forever would be a sufficent answer. It's your "greasy spoon" for ice cream and frozen treats plus burgers and fried food. Every time I'm in the 'boro, I attempt to stop here. At some dining establishments, you have a "the usual." This is one place I don't have that. I suppose the pineapple milkshake (sweet yet refreshing) and a cup of ice (They literally have THE BEST ICE EVER.) would be closest for me. I've also tried a variety of fried things. Honestly, some of them were a little random, so I don't even remember what they were. I do remember eating every bite though. While it is in a busy location in Owensboro, the drive thru is greatly appreciated. It seems like it is raining every time I visit, so I'm thankful to stay in my car. Sitting outside and enjoying my treats sounds like a good idea too, and thankfully they have tables and benches for that. To be honest, I'm about ready to visit Owensboro and the Big Dipper again, because it sounds good right about now.

Long lines sometime but way worth it. The big boy is the best. First place I would take anyone to have the best burger in town. Fresh ingredients and fast service. Cash only though so make sure you have around 10 bucks on you. Because you will want more than one burger.

One of my favorite places in town. Cheap, great food. You absolutely must try the gems and milkshakes. Fantastic local, family business!

A favorite of mine for over 25 years! The malts are amazing, the burgers are greasy but in such a guilty pleasure good way, and I love their pigs in a blanket as well. Drive thru moves quickly. The only problem is they are always so busy the parking lot can get a bit crazy. Recommend you don't park inside the drive thru lane on the right. So worth a visit!

An Owensboro institution & a classic 50's burger drive in. I've grown up eating Dipper & to this day, I still look forward to eating there. The burgers are delicious, the milkshakes are thick & creamy. It's such a popular place that the drive thru line usually spills out onto the street.

Dream meal: Cheeseburger. Through the garden. With Chili sauce. Toss some gems(tots) on the side. And a chocolate cone. Oh, don't forget the spicy pig (bacon wrapped hot dog stuffed with pepper jack). Classic burger stand. Super greasy, but super good. Will be back. If you're in town - you gotta go. Practically an institution.

I will probably make some people angry with this but I was not impressed at all. I admit, I am not a local so but I went safe with a burger and fries. It was a greasy burger but hey it's a burger. The meat is what scared me, it was literally rubber. The fries were very basic, no salt no seasoning, just fried. Maybe I got a bad batch, maybe I didn't order the right thing. I'm just sharing my experience.

I LOVE this place. Anytime I come back home I try to make a pit stop here for a burger and a shake. It's a great place to go during the summer.
(5)Chris M.
My only complaint is it's location due to traffic. Otherwise it's a little gold mine. I love eating here!!
(4)Amanda O.
The Big Dipper is a local favorite! It's been around my entire life and there is no place better to get a burger and milkshake. If you're in town, stop over and grab a "double through the garden". Be sure to bring cash- no debt cards taken.

The Big Dipper is an Owensboro tradition. It's been around as long as I can remember (I was born in '62) and there's been a continual crowd there as long as I can remember too. And for good reason ... The Big Dipper has the tastiest burgers in the county, best when ordered "through the garden" and accompanied by tater gems. You can still get authentic malts here as well as banana splits. Dave C. is right, this place is classic. Don't miss it.

My favorite burger in the WORLD. Not kidding. And hands down the best peanut butter cup flurry ever. (you'll never want dairy queen or sonic again).

I can describe this place in one word... "Classic" This is an old school burger stand / scoop shop is a time warp back to a time before doller menus and $5 foot longs. I do some work at the Ragu plant around the corner and on a hot day, nothing beats this place. Come here to get a great cheeseburger and a malt that will leave you begging for more. If you don't believe me, drive by day or night. There is ALWAYS a line of cars and people waiting to sink their teeth into the food here. Also, I recommend sitting at the picnic tables outside. People watching in Owensboro is second to none. Enjoy!

I dream of this place! There is just something about the burgers here that makes them amazing! I grew up eating here and will always be back! Yall Rock!

This is single handedly one of the best little places to eat at, I have gone here since I was 3 and even today you won't be able to find someone who has eaten here and not fallen in love with this little place. The stand is the size of a Hummer and yet they always have a line of cars that puts the Macdonald's next to it to shame then you include the line of people in front of it and you then begin to wonder where do they keep everything and the people are always so friendly and nice you can't help to feel good before you even get your food. If your ever in the area do yourself a huge favor and pick up a hamburger with some of the biggest and best onion rings ever and a delicious shake that will disappear before your even out of the parking lot and to add insult to injury they are cheaper then the Macdonald's, so yeah good job picking a location Macdonald's. This easily one of the best little stands that you will ever go to and it will keep you coming back over and over.

I love this place! I grew up eating here and now when I have friends or family come to town I make sure to take them to the Big Dipper! What I love most is that my parents and grandparents grew up loving this place and now so do I. The great people and food here deff have something good going if they have found a way to be successful all these years.
