I don't always crave Rita's, but when I do, I'm never disappointed. We pulled up and there was a long line, which was expected, but things moved so quickly. Four words: birthday.cake.cream.ice. After tasting it at the 2014 car show in DC, I have been searching high and low for this cream ice flavor! I was craving the creaminess of the birthday cake flavor, but also wanted something a little fruity/tart. So I asked for 1/2 and 1/2 with the bday cake and cherry ice. The girl at the register was like a little Rita's genie...she disappeared for two seconds and then *poof* she was back with my order! The service was friendly and fast. I'd been to this location several times while attending college (Loyola). We would often buy Rita's in bulk sizes for Student Government events. (Yup, we'd lure college students to our tables about politics/social issues with free Rita's!) I have never had a bad experience at this location. So happy to know that the experience is still consistent with those that I had while I was in school. :) How could I say anything bad about a cool and refreshing treat on a warm day?!

It's a pretty typical Rita's, which is a place I like. However, they don't have as many flavors as other locations, which is unfortunate. A pretty typical flavor of any fruit-flavored thing would be cherry or strawberry - something generic and red that kids often like. This location had neither when I went there, which seemed weird to me. Of the flavors it did have, only 2 were things I even liked (yet most Rita's location have 6-8 flavors I'd like on any given day).

When I visit my sister-in-law, we take a trip to Rita's. I've had their Gelati, which you pick up to 3 flavors of Italian ice, and then they serve your choice of vanilla, chocolate, or a swirl of frozen custard right on top. I chose Black Cherry, Alex's Lemonade, and Georgia Peach. My, my, my, was this tasty and a half! The Italian ice was flavorful, and it was not watery. It was just an unbelievably slushie-like texture in my mouth! Combine the flavors with the vanilla frozen custard and it is absolutely divine! The custard itself is a little bit more heavier than a frozen yogurt, and maybe it approximately on the same par as a soft serve, but it is a little bit more richer in the mouth. Service was quick and I was excited throughout my Gelati experience. There is no drive-thru, nor is there a place to sit inside the place - you just pay and you go; you can find a curb in the parking lot to enjoy your treat. It is refreshing, cool, and perfect for summers or any day. +Gelati

Ritas is the perfect summertime treat. All sorts of flavors to tingle your tastebuds. If your hungry enough try the gelati! Its the best mixture of custard and ice all in one. My favorite is the green apple mixed with lemon and vanilla custard.

Rita's Italian Ice has to be as good as it gets! The shaved ice is the best I've ever had and the custard is Amazing. Thank goodness they have finally opened one up near me. The variety of shaved ice flavors are awesome, cherry is my favorite though it's really hard to go wrong with any of them, and if you aren't sure you can sample any flavor you like. The gelati is generally what I go for, which is a layering of your choice of custard & Italian ice - Best of Both Worlds! Though the shop close to my home is a cookie cutter store, this little stand is the one that started my love affair with Rita's, and I love it!

Oh, Rita's. How I love thee. Your cold, icy creamy goodness. My only wish? That you were open all year 'round. I'm counting down the days until spring.

Rita's is a little stand that offers icy treats that is perfect for those hot days. There's not that big of a selection but everything i've tried has been pretty tasty. The only downside is that there is nowhere to sit since it shares its lot with a fast food joint.
