Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Delicious ice cream! We got a pint of their butter toffee and chocolate chip ice cream.l and classic vanilla to go. Very creamy and rich. They also have some great chocolates as well. Had to get their dark chocolate covered pretzels. Can't wait to go back and get a waffle cone."
"Outstanding flavors and generous portions. We took our ice cream out back and ate it on the boardwalk. Their candy selection was excellent and they also have stuffed animals and small toys."
"Delicious! Very friendly and pretty quick for all the people that were there. I'll definitely go back if vacationing in the area again."
"After a long day at the hot beach, waiting in line for dinner (so loud we couldn't hear ourselves think) I took my family to Big Bucks ice cream. Big Bucks you saved the day! Not only was everyone friendly they were very patient with my indecisive family! They offered tasting and answered questions about ingredients as I am lactose intolerant. The rest of the family got there homemade ice cream, my daughter got the Dubai Sunday, all were over the top fantastic. I was directed to the pints because they can't guarantee cross contamination, which I get. They had a few choices for me and I was thrilled and very satisfied! Of course my kids needed plushies and they had those... So win! We walked onto the boardwalk and enjoyed ourselves having conversations that were not able to be had in the previous restaurant. At the end we even went back for espresso! A family memory that will not be forgotten anytime soon! Thank you Big Bucks. It might be a bit pricier than other places but so worth it... After all everything, even the chocolate, is homemade! You get what you pay for and we certainly got ours"
"We went to Big Buck’s Homemade Ice Cream on Saturday afternoon. Decent variety and flavors. Give their chocolate cookies a try. They will not disappoint you."
"Newer entry to the Soundside shops in Duck replacing Plum Crazy (second location in Timbuck II). Standard ice cream flavors and a number of exotic and creative mixes. The advertised Seasalt Caramel Pretzel is absolutely delicious. Somehow the pretzels (plenty) are not mushy, but firm. Waffle cones a must. A number of flavors sold in pints in the dairy case. Store is stocked with all types of chewing gum, candy, candy bars, small toys, medium to large stuffed animals, and multiple sodas by the bottle. On the end of the boardwalk overlooking the Sound with great views."
"Great homemade ice cream store! Plenty of space, lots of flavors. It does get busy at night, but moves fast. I tried coffee toffee chocolate chip, single scoop on waffle cone was a decent size. The ice cream tasted fantastic and lots of mixed in toppings. Only downside is the waffle cone wasn’t as good compared to other ice cream stores that I’ve been to. They also sell candies and chocolates. Visit them if you’re here!"
"They have one dairy-free option which is strawberry sorbet. It is homemade with fresh strawberries and it was a little too sweet. We also got the chocolate and chocolate peanut butter and it was delicious. They also have espresso Frozen drinks which are delicious. The lemonade strawberry drink is also delicious with fresh strawberries sorbet mixed in with lemonade."
