“This place is like going in a time machine back to a 50s ice cream stand. They even play 50s music over the loud speaker. The cones are big, like dairy lightsabers you could use to fight a lactose intolerant Darth Vader. I probably shouldn't eat so much sugar now that I'm over 50, but it's so good.“

“So excited we just discovered this place! Not only is the ice cream amazing, the owners were incredibly friendly and welcoming. They recognized that we were first timers and gave us the run down of flavors and everything they offer. They even have merch, created by the owner himself, and it’s awesome! A great addition to Rancocas Woods. We will definietly be regulars!!“

“Ice cream is my favorite dessert ever and I am the most picky there is...this is hands down THE BEST ice cream I have ever had in my entire life and I've had decades worth of homemade ice cream. I went here after having 2 slices of pizza and actually finished my ice cream beyond the point of feeling stuffed because it was THAT good. I'll gladly take the full feeling smiling happily with the leftover flavor lingering in my mouth, reminding me of the eye rolling, slapping the table goodness of this amazingly perfected recipe. Plus, the owner, Vincent, is a treasure to this town and the nicest, most relatable, sweet guy. He only adds the best ingredients, and as many times as people claim that same motto, there's no denying it. You can tell with the texture, the mouth feel, the density, melting speed (nice and slow to the last bite with just enough melt to be soft and easy to eat quickly without getting a brain freeze). There's a reason why there's always a line down the block! I'm not one to ever wait on a line, but for this, I would wait in pouring rain, hail, and even a hurricane. This sounds very exaggerated, but I've never been more excited to discover such a magical place. I can't wait for my next visit (which will most likely be at least twice a week). NO regrets. It doesn't matter what flavor you choose, you'll be in heaven! Even if it's chocolate vanilla or strawberry and you THINK you know what those taste like, you're wrong. Vincent customizes and perfects each recipe to his very own unique flavor. Even the coffee flavor has a homemade marshmallowy taste to it (acting as the cream in the coffee, I'm assuming). Out of this world, and I've never tasted anything like it. Even strawberry cheesecake, which is my least favorite flavor, made me a believer. If it could make me love a flavor I usually despise, then that should tell you something. I will never get ice cream from the grocery store or anywhere else again!! Vincent's for life!“

“Jersey corn ice cream? I kept seeing it online and had to try it. It was delicious but a very different flavor. This ice cream shop has regular ice cream and also vegan flavors. The menu is labeled with what flavors are gluten free, soy free, or egg free which makes this ideal for those with dietary restrictions. They also use local ingredients.“

“This is by far the best Rita's around. The staff is so friendly & professional. Everything is always very clean - even in the sticky summer. 5 stars!Dietary restrictions: The Italian ice is vegan. The sugar-free flavors are amazing!“

“Great frozen treats! Despite us going during triple digit weather, I was shocked that this Rita's was not crowded. We got our treats right away and the staff was super helpful with helping us navigate the menu (this was our first time going to Rita's). I was very happy with the Green Apple Italian ice with gummy bears. It was a little more melted toward the bottom than I was expecting but it wasn't soupy so it was still good.“

“Excellent place and everyone knows it! The line is crazy long in Friday and Saturday nights, so I go during the week and get extras to stock up so I don't have to fight the crowd! Love that they change their flavors and rotate bringing in new ideas. Great quality and service!“

“This is my favorite place for frozen treats. The staff is friendly, the place is clean, the atmosphere is delightful whether you get take-out or eat your treats at a table. I'm happy they have not closed for the season and I hope that doesn't change. I missed Peachwave all last winter!“

“Hey! It’s Rita’s! All of their items are great and the service is usually pretty darn good. There’s not a lot of space outside for sitting and the parking lot is pretty small, but it’s location doesn’t exactly permit alot of space. Nice place.“

“My pop and I stop thru on my way home from work daily (except the past week or two when he went on an Alaskan cruise) and we typically get a cone each. I'm known for both by sarcastic personality and straight forward nature, and extremely outspoken. I get these traits from him. I think he ruffled a few feathers one of the first times we went in bc it seems one woman tends to short him with the amount of custard on his cone. No big deal, I know, but I think he's getting fed up, and if he speaks up, he will make her cry. Other than that, I dig the place. Just the other day I went solo and got a Blizzard (the new caramel fudge one) and the young girl was sure to flip it before giving it to me.“

“Stopped by this nice little shop today and had a great experience. The waffle cone with sprinkles was soooo good with muddy boots ice cream! There was only 1 employee working but she was very nice even while handling a rush of customers with screaming kids. Will definitely go back!“

“Just wanted to take a moment to appreciate the water ice, ice cream and excellent service at your shop. The range of options, from classic favorites to more unique offerings, is impressive. The staff consistently provides friendly and efficient service, making each visit enjoyable. Keep up the great work!“

“First time I went to Freddy's. I took my grandson there for dinner noonday eve. 4/1/2024. Burlington restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious. My grandson ate his whole burger which is unusual. He almost always only eats half. He loved the fries. I had a crispy chicken sandwich with onion rings. Both the best I've ever had. I can't describe how delicious the shakes and custard was. Staff was awesome. Will visit again.“

“I can wake up in philly and think what do I want for lunch or dinner and will drive all the way up 95 to get to Columbus to buy chicken for dinner. And I can't forget the Jojo fries they are so good everything is good. Next I have to try the delivering gizzards. If you make the trip you will not be disappointed.“
