Big Dee’s Fancy Wieners & Quality Ice Cream — Restaurant in Nelson

This place was….just mehhhh 🤷‍♀️. I was super excited to go because the menu listed two types of vegan dogs and vegan cheese sauce (plus they mentioned vegan mac and cheese in their Frequently Asked Questions section), but then we got there and the vegan Brat and vegan cheese sauce were hand-crossed off the menu hanging on the wall (like literally a black marker crossed out line) and the monotone, less than enthusiastic teenager behind the counter said, “yeah…..we haven’t had that in a while….” when we asked (so….maybe get a new menu sign?

I stumbled upon Big Dee's Ice Cream Shop by sheer coincidence, and boy, am I glad I did! This place is like a magical wonderland for your taste buds. The ice cream is so good, it's almost criminal.

If you're in the mood for some delicious ice cream and a good laugh, Big Dee's is the place for you. Just don't blame me if you get brain freeze from eating too much of their...

If that's what you're after than might...
