★★★★★ 5.0 Sara Beaman · Aug 2025

Absolutely delicious ice and custard. I love the variety of rotating flavors. The staff members are friendly. Expect a line if you go in the evening, but don't worry--it moves fast. This location only has outdoor seating.

The employees were very polite and were working very hard. There was a very long line and the employees still greeted me with a smile. I got a mudslide and it was absolutely delicious.

This is the 3rd Rita's i went to looking for an "ice flight"! Both locations on Philadelphia pike were Out of the " ice flight" containers! But not this location on silverside! You guys saved the day for me! Thank you for having all your supplies! #Earthangelde

★★★★★ 5.0 Alexander Halchak · Jul 2023

I'm Ukrainian, I arrived 2 weeks ago, and I've always heard stories that the USA has the tastiest ice cream. Just tried the ice cream here and was pleasantly surprised. Sac and tenderness forced me to immerse myself in childhood, nostalgia. Thank you for the great taste and good emotions!

★★★★★ 5.0 Patric Parris · Mar 2024

Went there with four of my grandchildren on the first day of Spring. The line was long for free water ice, but the help handled it really well. We came at 4 PM which may have been close to the height of the mania. I was amazed we were able to find parking in the back. They were even willing to give us a mixture of two water ices on the free day.
