“They have the best ice cream and shakes. They are a little expensive but well worth it. We've gone there for years and are regulars. Tonight was kind of shocking. We got a bunch of take out and 1/2 gallon of peanut butter Fresh banana ice cream. We got home and it was freezer burned. We gave them a call and they said, " thanks for letting us know" so in the garbage it went. I don't really understand how that's possible because everything is fresh. Of course we'll still go but won't be buying anything to bring home again.“

“Always loved their ice cream. It's so good. Many styles to choose from . Shakes , hard ice cream and soft, ice cream sundaes. Etc. I had the best cone ever too. With chocolate covering it and sprinkles and chose 2 different hard ice creams for it. Moosetracks and Cookie dough. With chocolate syrup and sprinkles. It was delicious. Highly recommend them. Especially for their great choices and yummy ice cream. It's a great place to stop at in any day for a good cold yummy snack. Try it out sometime. You'd enjoy it.“

“This Rita’s is hands-down the best in the area. Open year-round, it’s a go-to spot no matter the season. There’s indoor seating for chillier days and an awesome outdoor area with shaded tables—perfect for enjoying a treat in the sun.

The flavored custard options are fantastic (seriously, try them!), and there’s always plenty of parking—so convenient. I’ve never had to wait in a long line, which is a huge plus when you’ve got eager kids in tow. The staff are also awesome with kids, they're always willing to add sprinkles to my kid’s water ice—even though it’s not the norm.“

“I normally don't post on Facebook but I wanted to say the staff at this location is great. I been to this location twice so far and had nothing but good service. You guys always have a great selection on ice. I will be coming back for more. My kids had the cotton candy custard for the first time and loved it. 🥰“

“Vegetarian review: The sandwiches are good but their best is the mexican corn soup - it's flavorful and spicy with an solid kick! My favorite.

As usual, the vegetarian sandwiches are a bit of an afterthought lacking in flavor and defaulting to vinaigrette dressings - you can change some of the items up and get a more satisfying sandwich.“

“The food was great… they were VARY NICE… but the place was a bit too fancy… and the claw machine is hard to get the stuffed animals out of. But other than that… it was great!!❤️

Kid-friendliness: They were vary nice to us… I’m a kid FYI. And I loved the kids special food❤️“

“Poke Kai is a fantastic place for Bubble Tea. They have a huge variety at reasonable prices. The staff is absolutely great!! If you never tried Bubble Tea, stop by Poke Kai. I am sure after trying it once, you’ll be a frequent customer.“

“WORTH THE WAIT AND MONEY!“
