I’ve been here a few times previously with no real issue, but I’m seeing what some of the other reviews said about the staff choosing to close early. I went over at about 8:25 this Friday evening, when it says they close at 9, and the blinds were down and the lights cut off. No sign on the windows either, maybe consider changing hours on the website since this happens often it seems.

This is review is based on multiple visits over the past 2 years. I must be lucky because every I go to this Rita's- it's right before a line forms so I'm in and out with my water ices super quick. I love the ones with fruit pieces in them like the wild cherry, but am in the process of trying all the flavors. One of my favorite blends to order is oreo and coffee; so delicious. Expected/decent pricing. Staff is attentive; just wish I could put the tip on my credit...
