The best place to get the most delicious frozen treats!!!

I am in love with Rita's cult following flavor "wild black cherry" ? ??? BEST FLAVOR EVER!! If u like real summer fresh cherries u must try it ? My second favorite is "Swedish fish" just like the candies, I never thought I'd enjoy a flavor of a candy so much lol. If you have a spoiled rotten dog ? at home (or in the car lol) try a "pup cup" a child size serving of vanilla frozen custard with a milk bone treat on top. My dog gets so excited that he's included in our ice-cream/water ice treat time!! And he hasn't had a bad reaction to eating the sweet treat which other things in his past can trigger intestinal distress. When Rita's opens back up for the season (March or April??) go treat yourself!!

Staff is friendly. And the selection is good

I have driven here twice and each time this place has had the blinds CLOSED before 10pm. They won’t pick up the phone there is no sign, no reason why they are closed early. It’s mildly annoying and a waste of gas.

Friendly, attentive staff. Wide selection. A favorite stop for a summer treat.

U know, i realized i’m not a fan of italian water ice, but it was still a nice experience and the staff was friendly, they didn’t seem annoyed or bothered at all by the fact i took forever to pick out a flavor:)

Love this place! Cherry and mango ice is so good, but you really can't go wrong with any of the flavors.

This is one of the better ones. They have multi flavor custard. They all should follow.

This was delicious! Custard and frozen flavored ice--sometimes it's mixed together! The Custard was marshmallowy and extra creamy.The store is a walk up counter. There are a couple of benches, but for the most part you take your eats on the road with you.Yummy!
