Ritter’s Frozen Custard

Nice little chain frozen Custard place. First time I had was in Florida outside of Clearwater. Was stoked when saw they had a local location. Love the banana flavor when they have it It’s oddly pretty good.
Kids like worms and dirt sundae an ant go wrong with a Glacier

Perfect creamy goodness strawberry sundae perfect ratio of strawberry sace to ice cream– son loved the cake batter mix– pomegranate /​lavender was unique

There are many activities that define summer for me. One of them is going to the corner store with my dad and siblings for an ice cream treat. I always chose the Orange Creamsicle. So when I saw that the Dreamsicle was featured on the daily menu, I called to reserve two pints (they were running low) before rushing out for pick-​up. I learned my lesson earlier in the summer when a flavor I was eyeing was sold out. At that time, the staff offered to place a special order for me but it just seemed too much trouble for ice cream.
Ritter’s is an old-​fashion ice cream stand. It serves frozen custard, similar to ice cream (with 10% butterfat and eggs), Italian ice, and frozen yogurt. Its menu includes glaciers, shakes, smoothies, sundaes, and cones. Today, as always, families dotted the round stand, either waiting patiently for their treats or enjoying them at one of the many tables surrounding the stand. I was not surprised to see the number of cars pulling in — summer is coming to a close and opportunities for ice cream are dwindling.
In addition to the pints, I also ordered the Turtle Sundae, a large vanilla sundae with both hot chocolate and caramel sauces and pecans. Unfortunately, the Dreamsicle frozen custard lacked the advertised orange flavor, tending towards vanilla.

Very good, creamy. I had the vanilla. I’m looking forward to trying the different flavors!

It’s alright, just a high-​priced ice cream parlor.
Checked the flavors moline and of course, when I arrived, they didn’t have what I wanted. Sigh.
Nothing tastes that great, and the coconut is just vanilla.
Also, they don’t take Amex, so I had to pay cash and couldn’t get my points.
I’ll pass on this place.

The ice cream is worth the $$
Very creamy and pure.
I had the Peanut Butter sundae, nothing special about it.
They seemed to be always busy after dinner time (6p-​8p).
My family and I went that time and the people working seemed to be rude and non inviting.
I placed our order and paid. I seemed rushed by the cashier.
I stepped to the side and received my orders one by one. I stood a total of 15mins and my order still wasn’t complete. I asked one of the girls cause they seemed to forget about me, and i guess they forgot one of my orders. When i asked for lids on all my orders, the girl rolled her eyes while handing them to me.
Don’t get me wrong, the ice cream was amazing but the customer service was not and I don’t think I’ll be coming back. I’ll just go to the DQ down the street. At least they’re friendly and seem to enjoy their job.

Amazing product from this place. Nothing compares. Varying flavors to go with chocolate/​vanilla every day. Very good customer service too. I didn’t get what I asked for, and they just re-​did it, after I returned to the store. A good bunch of kids.

Ritter’s has great frozen custard and other products. My favorite is the Gelati Mix — Strawberry Italian Ice, mixed with vanilla custard. YUMMM :) However, this particular Ritter’s does a poor job maintaining their supply of popular ingredients. The past 3 times I’ve visited they have not had Strawberry Italian ice. I mean, come on, it’s «strawberry!». Isn’t that the most obvious thing to stay stocked on? They really need to improve in this area.

Absolutely the best ice cream I’ve ever had! (I know, I know… It’s actually frozen custard.) We even come here in the dead of winter. Sooooo good!

I like to believe I’m a connoisseur of all things dairy. I’ve delved into various dairy products and engaged in lascivious love affairs with all things dairy-​based. Even so, I’ve always been one of those folks who thinks, «Frozen custard? Yeah, no thanks. I’ll stick with ice cream.»
Until my fiancé dragged me to Ritter’s.
He’s been coming here since he was a kid, and has always loved it. I can see why. The custard is creamy, rich, and tasty. And it’s made fresh, right on site. I love it! I always get Oreo cookies mixed in with vanilla custard, and it makes my tummy happy. I’ve also tried some of their various custard flavors, and their sundaes — all excellent. The service is always fast and courteous, no matter how busy they are.
The best part? They’re open year round! I was really bitter when I found out that Dairy Queen & the like close during the winter (I’m from California; our DQs stay open!) out here. Ritter’s braves the cold and serves its customers!
It’s worth checking out, in my opinion. I personally don’t think plain frozen custard (or ice cream, actually) flavors, in general, were meant to be eaten by themselves, which may be why some people feel they’re plain. When you order vanilla, chocolate, or strawberry custard/​ice cream, you’re gonna get something kind of plain. It’s like a cardinal rule of frozen treats, I think.
If you keep that in mind, you’re good to go. Ritter’s is amazing, and they’ve got a pretty diverse menu.

Summer is here which means it’s time for lots of Ritter’s custard. The glaciers (think Blizzard, Flurry, et al) are excellent but the chocolate custard has so much flavor on it’s own that I usually just stick with that. Their sundaes look nice, but I can’t say I have ever tried one. Prices are a little on the high side which is the only thing keeping them from 5 stars.

I don’t even know if a review is necessary… this place is the bomb! I love ice cream so I’ll eat it pretty much anywhere but the frozen custard here is so creamy & dense it’s not like any other. Their menu is a little lacking in my opinion but I can always find something that hits the spot! I also love the fact that they are open year round… you might get a little cold waiting for your dessert but it’s worth it :)

Couldn’t get chocolate custard off my mind, and I needed something to soothe my overly salted palate (see O’Toole’s review)… so dragged Ken to Ritter’s. This was our first time here, and it was average.
We stayed pretty plain — chocolate for me, chocolate malt for Ken. Rich, but I’ve had better (like maybe even Culver’s). Pricey too.

Went here a few days ago… and it was so-​so!
So-​so because the prices were on the high side, the fact that its called Ritter’s Frozen Custard rather than Ritter’s Dairy Barn, and the overall feel of the place simply lacked the wow factor, in my opinion!
I get the whole marketing concept of calling itself custard, but in all reality and at the end of the day… it is frozen milk and cream, otherwise known as «ice-​cream».
I had the Butterfinger Glacier, and it was pretty good, but no better than Micky D’s or DQ or the little independent summertime moo barn!
This place wasn’t bad, I just want others to know that it is more about marketing than really being any different… it does get points for making their own ice-​cream fresh right there, having ample parking, property and seating… not crowded like the «other» joints… also this places stays open in the off season, which to me is a good thing!
I say try it, but know what you are getting.

Pretty good custard but I have had better. They do have some good creations but this custard is not as good when eaten plain as it is when in a creation.
The peanut butter mountain is hands down my hubby’s fave. It is a pretty awesome sundae, but the peanut butter topping here is so rich and the reeses peanut butter cups send it over the top. The glaciers are also tasty, they do the Ted Drewe’s trick of serving it upside down. Be warned it is definitely for spooning and not sipping. I like a caramel, strawberry banana or strawberries and chocolate shake myself.
Nice on a warm summer night or get it to go.

I make a point to try this place everytime I get to Livonia. Simply the best. Custard is so creamy makes all ice cream pale in comparison.

I love Ritter’s! This is some of the best custard/​ice cream I have ever had… they call it Legendary Ice Cream! They have a variety of flavors that rotate but, there is always chocolate and vanilla.
Think of this as your typical ice cream place as far as offerings: cones, Glaciers (like a Blizzard), sundaes, cakes & pies, banana splits, shakes, floats, smoothies, etc. They also offer Italian ice. The waffle cones are homemade and the aroma is just wonderful when you walk up.
My favorite is a Glacier with chocolate custard and banana and peanut butter sauce mixed in. My hubby likes the Snickers glacier with a bit of caramel. In general Glaciers seem to be the most popular treat I see people ordering. But their custard on its own in any flavor is great too.
This place can get busy in the summertime. Some nights there are classic cars parked around. People bring their dogs. We look forward to riding our bikes there! Everyone loves the outdoor seating during warm days to relax and enjoy their treat. I definitely recommend checking this place out if you’re craving an ice cream treat!
