Rita's Italian Ice & Frozen Custard — Restaurant in Alexander City

I came to Rita's looking forward to a cold, tasty treat. The parking lot had plenty of parking upon my arrival, on a Saturday afternoon. When I entered Rita's I was greeted by a smiling, young lady who was eager to take my order and offered additions to my order. I ordered the vanilla flavored frozen custard "Concrete" with Reese's Peanut Butter Cup and Oreo pieces blended in. I can't imagine how anyone could NOT enjoy one of these frozen custard treats, they're delicious. As was mine.

If I had any sort of complaint, if you'd even want to call it that, it would just be the price point for what I received. My "Concrete" came in a 4 inch tall, plastic cup, that wasn't really filled up. I tipped the nice server $1 on top of my product purchase, for a total cost of $9.26. So I paid $8.26 for a tiny cup that wasn't full. Knowing I could get an entire 1/2 gallon of ice cream from the grocery store at the same price.... I, personally, would probably elect to do that in the future as opposed to paying this high of a price for a tiny cup of frozen custard.

The store was clean, signs and options posted well. There is no seating inside this tiny custard shop, so your order will need to be taken to-go. However, the store is adjoining Lake Martin Pizza Co, which has a good portion of covered, outdoor seating with a nice ambiance. I'd assume there would be no issue taking your frozen custard treats to Lake Martin Pizza's outdoor seating area.

Delightful treat,...

All five of us had something different and it was all very very good- I just had a vanilla cone with sprinkles and it was excellent custard. My son had a sundae and he loved it. Friendly staff and had great...

We were gifted with a box of 6 frozen cookie sandwiches; 3 Oreo & 3 chocolate chip, each with Vanilla Custard filling . Huge and SO delicious. We look forward to all your wonderful products! Welcome...
