Ice cream was awesome, service was subpar. I rated this a 4 because I was blown away by the thickness and flavor of the ice cream, but was not satisfied by the service at all. The ordering setup was strange to begin with (everyone is corralled into a small area near the registers by a barrier, then must find a way to exit the area without bumping into those still waiting in line. The cashier was also rude. My grandma asked if they had any ice cream with reduced sugar and she stated "no." I replied that the menu stated they had "NSA Vanilla" and inquired if that stood for No Sugar Added. She scoffed and said that was what it stood for and mumbled something about meaning something else? Not sure what she was getting at. Regardless, I'd go back for the ice cream alone, and hopefully get a new cashier. read more

This is a great restaurant that will make you feel like you're back in the 60s. Fresh hamburgers will all the toppings and string fries. The milkshakes are delicious and any flavor of ice cream. The food and atmosphere make the experience car authentic. Right down to the lady announcing your order in the microphone. read more

I usually love GD Ritzy's and coming in from out of town I was excited to grab a late dinner before heading home. We stopped by around 830 and there were only about 6-8 people inside. We went up to the cash register and stood there for a good 6-7 minutes with NO acknowledgement of even standing there. It was like we were invisible. While standing in line I saw a girl making the burgers get the knife out of the mustard and put it directly on the meat then back into the mustard. Some workers were actually standing around doing nothing while we stood and waited. In the ice cream line someone came up with a free ice cream coupon and was waited on immediately and others came up for drink refills and were served promptly. Still we stood. I finally asked if anyone was working the register so we could place an order. A young girl pointed at a young man filling an ice cream pint. I said that we had been waiting here for at least 6-7 minutes with that and a young girl piped up rudely and said, "We are doing all we can, ma'am!!" I turned around and walked out pretty upset. At least acknowledge a customer when they come in especially if they have been waiting for quite some time. read more

Growing up in Columbus, OH, I went to GD Ritzy's on Henderson and Reed (which I think was the original), as well as the one on High Street at Cooke Rd, many many times in the 80's. I miss what was a childhood staple for me growing up... which is why I love visiting Evansville, and reliving a great memory. read more

This was a nice place to relax and catch a bit to eat. The atmosphere takes you back to the '60's. The food was good and a little different from other places and it wasn't a McDonalds burger. You can stand there and watch them out fresh toppings on your sandwich. When it's all gone you can grab ice cream. read more

Eating here for the first time as I type...we just moved to town and this is probably our fav restaurant that we've tried... chili 5 way=awesome, cheeseburger= yummy, fries= golden goodness, banana supreme icecream= oh my word!! The pb & j looked soooo good not your ordinary pb&j. Reasonably priced. Cute atmosphere. Gotta try...they make all their own ice cream!! Will be back for sure!! read more

Great food and service. Was very busy but we did not have to wait very long. I like the rewards for good grades. Wish they could and more room for tables. read more

It would be awesome if I wasn't at the drive thru window for ten minutes. Every one in the car finished their burger and COLD fries before we even got our shakes, one at a time with two minutes in between each drink. Is that hard to make three shakes and pour some water into a cup? Or to make hot fries? If you can't accomplish that at 9pm when you're not even busy you're going to have a tough life at real job. Thanks for wasting my $30.00 and time. read more

Definitely the best fast food I have ever had. And it's local!!! Best salads, best burgers and fries. The ice cream is homemade and by far the best in town. Nothing comes close. The Chocolate is a rich, cocoa chocolate. The Butter Pecan Cashew is amazing! The Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough is highly addictive. I have never had anything subpar from Ritzy's. All the hot food is always fresh and hot and the salads are always crisp and fresh with the best croutons I have ever had in my life. It doesn't get any better than this. Buy local! read more

World's Best Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwich - with peanuts and sliced strawberries on texas toast sized bread. My mouth is salivating right now. Great burgers, shoe string fries, chili, and ice cream too. read more

Youre not an eville native if you dont love gd ritzeys. The food is absolutely amazing. Old time style hamburgers and ice cream. Order cheese sauce with your fries, yuuuum. My favorite burger joint in eville. Family owned and friendly staff. read more

I grew up less than 10 minutes from GD Ritzy's and I remember my whole family coming here for dinner a lot. While I was visiting Evansville recently, GD Ritzy's was my first pick for food. I guess I have become more picky of what I eat, but my burger wasn't up to par. My burger patty was a bit undercooked and my bun was EXTRA doughy. It was definitely not as good as I remembered... read more

First and last time here, visited the one on Green River Road and it was terrible, the money dog was hard, the bun was saturated with grease and their 7 way was awful, hardly any spaghetti, it was cold, like the cheese wasn't even starting to melt, I got it to go and only had a 2 minute drive back to where I was going so not long enough for it to be cold already, very disappointed. read more

The Burgers are just awesome. Hot Burger, ice cold lettuce & tomatoes just melts in your mouth. Just like the hand made Ice Creams. I live in NC but always come here when I'm back home. It's a must for our family. Enjoy read more

This places offers greasy thin burgers and obnoxiously thin overpriced fries. Neat atmosphere, but this place falls short of my expectations. I've had better. read more

I love their peanut butter and jelly-two thick slices of bread with chopped peanuts and sliced strawberries, yum! I'm not a fan of their fries, but I'm the only person I know that doesn't love them, so maybe it's just me! read more

Food is great. Awesome old school burgers and fries. Likely, best in evansville. One thing I couldn't get past was paying almost four dollars for a super super small shake!! What the heck ppl they are good but not four dollars for three sips good.. read more

The ice cream is so good! Burgers are yummy, and the service is lovely. The mint chocolate chip icecream is my favorite as well as my brother's. It's awesome! The burgers are always crispy, hot, and cheesy. We have been going there for a while! read more

Visited on Wednesday March 12, 2014 at lunch time. Found staff not very friendly. Ask to up grade fries in one kids meal to a regular size, offered to pay difference and was told in no uncertain terms that she wasn't ALLOWED. Grandchildren went for their ice cream, one ask for their ice cream in a cone and was again told not ALLOWED, yet children sitting at a table across from us who went up after we did had ice cream CONES. Why the difference? Do I want to return? Food was Ritzy's good, staff no so good! Lou B read more

Ritzy's used to be a good place to eat. Not any more. We were there today for lunch. I was really disappointed. We went to order and the person behind the counter did not crack a smile, was not friendly and she got our order wrong. It was like I was talking to a robot. My daughter had to go back up and tell them that she didn't get her hamburger. The lady behind the counter said she didn't order one. I was right there when she ordered it. So she had to pay for another hamburger. Apparently they didn't care if she had our business or not. None of the people there were friendly. And while we were eating a kid came around our table and was sweeping while we were eating and almost hit my daughter in the head. And he didn't even apologize. We will NOT go back there. read more

We had been on the road all day, just wanted a good place to land - but not a chain. Found that here. Cute/Cool setting. Good oldies playing. Delicious cheeseburgers and chicken fingers. Lots of hot, crispy shoestring fries! Fast & friendly service. Family atmosphere. Very clean. Hope to be back! read more

I grew up in Evansville but don't live there anymore. Every time I come back to visit family I make a point of getting I GD Ritzys! It's truly an Evansville institution. I have always loved their burgers. The thin patty with the crunch around the edges is so good. Normally I prefer a bigger fry but you gotta love the shoestring fries from Ritzys. Burger and fries done right. Every time I go it tastes just like I remember it which is delicious. I also love the chunky dory fudge ice cream! Best way to end your meal at Ritzys. I'll keep coming back every time I'm in town. read more

October 2015 was the first time in years visiting my in-laws with my husband and then 11 month old. My husband grew up in Evansville/Newburgh and decided to take me to all his favorites while growing up there. G D Ritzy's was one of them. The cheeseburger was excellent and those shoestring fries were delicious and crunchy (just how I like 'em). Afterwards, we bought some ice cream to go. It was my baby's first time having ice cream -- chocolate to be exact. He LOVED it, too! Definitely going back when we're in the neighborhood! read more

I have been to the G.D. Ritzy's in Evansville twice and I live almost 500 miles away. I wish there was one closer. I was exposed to G.D. Ritzy's in there heyday of the mid to late 80's. I worked at there only KC location for 1.5 years. The food is really good but the ice cream is definitely the draw. I can't get anything even close to it near here. The amaretto cherry and the chocolate chunks and almonds are the best. read more

I love the Deluxe Chicken Salad, but am disappointed in the Hot Veggies- too many end pieces of broccoli and cauliflower - pieces that you would toss out at home, but am charged for here. Stick with the salad. read more

I lived in Evansville when GD Ritzy's first opened. Loved it. I moved to Florida 12 years ago and I miss it so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Wish they would up one down here especially in Tampa Bay area. My husband is going to Eville soon. He is bringing me chili back cant wait. Remember the saying that you dont miss it till it is gone. read more
