This was my first time visiting, and the service was excellent. The girl who helped us answered all of our questions, patiently accommodated our sample requests, and was very patient with us. I ordered the frozen vanilla custard, and let me just say, it was deliciouss! I will definitely be back the next time I’m in Galveston.

This place is so good! I tried the Reese’s sundae and it did not disappoint. My friend got the gelati. I felt left out so I went back the same day to get the gelati and that was good too! Try this place, you won’t be disappointed. The prices are very reasonable too!

This was my first time at Rita’s and we accidentally showed up right after they closed, but the girl who was working still took our order. She was so sweet so accommodating and patient with all of my endless questions. The veterans day deal was exceptional. We ❤️ Rita’s and America.

Had to visit because it reminded me of home. Being from the east coast abs recently moving to TX was a big change. This location was super friendly and clean and offered cute seasonal flavors along with the originals ! Delicious and glad I went!
