Growing up in TR we know what real homemade ice cream should taste like. After going on a quest this week with family visiting, who moved west, we found it. This is the "real" deal. Homemade ice cream, not tubs made in a factory. It took us back to our childhood. We were greeted with smiles, they offered taste testing and specials. Personally I had the absolute best root beer Gelato ever!!! My daughter had the Canoli flurry and raved. Clean and bright it was an all around wonderful experience that brought back such happy memories. Forget the rest, this is the BEST!! Don't miss this gem. A TRUE ORIGINAL! read more

Ice cream is absolutely amazing! I've never had mint soft serve before, but this was really good. There's also a fantastic seating area out back! The manager was up front while my dad and i were ordering and he was very helpful and kind. Looking forward to coming back! read more

Service was excellent and the store appears clean and inviting. They have many flavors to choose from. I will give the benefit of the doubt in saying although they key lime pie and toasted coconut flavors were very tasty, they didn't appear to be the freshest, especially the coconut. I will concede it is only mid-April and I know the ice cream doesn't move as fast. I look forward to giving another try once the weather pops. read more

I stopped in on 4th of July weekend and purchased an "American 250th celebration cake. The cake looked awesome! The taste was out of this world. By far the best ice cream cake I ever ate. The layer between the vanilla and chocolate was chocolate fudge. Couldn't get enough of it. We served it at a cook out. Everyone was extremely pleased the cake. Congratulations, it's a fine tribute for America's 250th! Also picked up a box of Denny bars to try. My son in law ate one on the way home, he couldn't wait. They are absolutely delicious! Stop in and try a box, you won't be sorry. read more

Delicious ice cream and very friendly staff. They have kept many of the items from the prior owner and added a few of their own. They also added a nice eating area with picnic tables behind the restaurant. read more

OK. I'm more making this review for the owner, which I'm guessing or maybe hoping is the kids of the original owner. I grew up in Tom's River, my mother grew up in Toms River going to the original Rich's. My first memory of getting ice cream was at Rich's. As an adult, Rich's 2 was my high water mark for all other ice cream places and have spent a lot of day trips going for ice cream to dozens of places... if not over a hundred. Having not been open for years, we have been chasing that dragon elsewhere. When we saw you were opening again, we were so excited. I've been planning this stop for months... being we live 400 miles away. I don't care for the changes. While I still feel the ice cream is ultra premium, I did have ice crystals in the soft serve. Portions are a lot smaller. I got a large soft vanilla with chocolate sprinkles, which is what you would have called a small previously. Now I get it, the cost of everything has gone up. Inflation is up like 20% over 4 years and the prices of goods has gone up more than inflation. But when I order a large... Im not looking at the price, I not getting ice cream at Rich's because I'm worried about how much it's gonna cost or because I'm worried about how bad it is for me. When I ask for a large, I want a lot of ice cream. I can go to stop and shop and get a half gallon of tillamook for $4 if I'm so concerned with prices. You use to dip the ice cream in a tray of sprinkles and roll it around. Now you sprinkle a few spoons of sprinkles on it. I don't like that. The ice cream is served in plastic cups verse the foam cups that were standard. I like the foam better. Maybe paper would work. And lastly the store seemed dirty and the layout doesn't feel right. Everyone who was ever in that store knows how anal Jean was about cleaning everything, always wiping everything down with those sponges. I really hope you take what I'm saying as constructive criticism and not an attack or me trying to be mean. Im really disappointed. I'm sure you'll do fine in business, especially with all the Bennie's coming down in the summer but for people like me, who generationally grew up with Rich's as our gold standard... you've gone down hill. read more

Not the same as Jeans but still pretty good . Jean always had ice cream coming out of the tops of everything. This place is conservative with stuff and had to ask for more . Staff nice and still learning. Owner was there and very nice . Trying to keep jeans is a hard task . She went above and beyond. Definitely going to give them another try . Happy the are opened and tried to keep things jeans way ! read more

So happy that they are back open. Fantastic ice cream served by smiling faces, very helpful and accommodating to my multiple requests for samples. I have been back 3 times and loved everything! I like the makeover to the inside. I wish them all the best. read more

Phenomenal homemade ice cream. Had a couple different flavors and they were all great. Also, they have a very nice and clean outside area to sit and eat. The owner is a very great guy looking to make the experience the best for costumers. Dog friendly too. read more

We needed a cake last minute for my niece's birthday. They had one ready and with her name on it within the hour. OUTSTANDING flavor, very creamy, and the service was excellent! read more

If you guys want to compete you need to look at your competition! Rich's down the street is less expensive and their ice cream is far superior. You need to up your game. The name alone doesn't cut it any more . read more

On Saturday, March 7th, we held my mom's surprise 75th birthday party. Denny from Rich's II was more than helpful in accomodating us. We originally wanted an ice cream truck, but when that fell through we pulled a Hail Mary and called this business. They offered to make us 60 individual cups of ice cream with whipped cream and sprinkles. They even delivered it. I can not say enough nice things about Denny, the ice cream and the rest of the crew. I highly recommend you visit this local business. read more

Improve everything especially the ice cream cakes. Ambience is okay. Service could be better.

Very clean and well run for a brand new business. From the moment I walked in I was greeted until the moment I left. They offered me samples and were very kind. read more

Why is Rich's still closed I hope Jeanie is okay!!!! We miss going back here please comment back when it's open again

Omg so many flavors I didn't know what to choose from . The woman behind the counter was a doll as she let me sample the Pumpkin Cheesecake and omg it's to die for. I decided to get a scoop of Pumpkin Cheesecake and Egg Nog to go. They offer soft serve and hard of the eggnog flavor. I'm upset with myself for never stopping in here. Inside you get the feel of an old school ice cream shop from all of the signs. I will be returning before they close on the 23rd. Oh and thank you so much for the ice cream sandwiches read more

Absolutely love this place. As a special treat, my daughter and her new fiancé flew in from California and requested your famous pumpkin ice cream cake for their engagement party. It was so beautiful and tasted even better. Thank you so much Two loyal regulars, Doug & Peg read more

Delicious homemade ice-cream and unique creations. This is our favorite place to stop on our way home from the beach (we even make the u-turn for it!). Portions are crazy big, so go for the smallest size! My favorite is the cone-oli (vanilla soft serve over smashed up cannoli in a waffle cone). There's no place to sit inside but there are benches outside near the street. read more

Rich's II is a very good ice cream shop on Route 37 in Toms River. I have taken many friends from out-of-town here, and they have all enjoyed it. The quality of the ice cream itself is better than you'd expect, and so are the actual sundaes. Rich's II is a great alternative if you are coming back from Seaside and don't want to eat ice cream on the boardwalk. The girls who work there all know how to make the more advanced sundaes. 4 Stars instead of 5 because they could accept credit cards, and they could also have slightly lower prices. read more

Cash Only. I have no idea why so many ice creme places are cash only. Because I don't know a lot of people that carry over $40.00 of cash with them, for anything. Plastic yes, cash no. For all that is sacred, Rich's Ice Creme II -- START TAKING CREDIT CARDS! Seriously, as a customer, I would totally buy that super deluxe cone, super triple sundae or whatever super ice creme creation posted and plastered all over in plain sight that YOU TAUNT MEEEE WITH, that makes my little heart skip a beat and though I want it so badlllyyyy at that moment (as I hang my head in shame). I must keep it simple I refuse to go use the ATM machine and when I, like a lot of your customers that stop in, it's kinda on the fly and taking credit cards would increase your business flow, especially getting new customers coming in. Okay, ice creme is delicious, hard scoop or serve, I particularly like the Italian ice flavors/ gelati samples are minimal- I think its silly, how do I know I am going to like the flavor unless I taste it? with that said you are always greeted with a smile the key lime is amazing and the watermelon sooo gooood, but most of the time, like most parents, I have to settle with a single scoop of ice creme so the kidlets an have. read more

The Nutella ice cream is to die for. however they really shouldn't advertise that they're all natural when theirs obviously food coloring in the mint chocolate chip ice cream read more

The cannoli sundae is pretty good. But super rich. Small is good for sharing. Lady was very friendly too.

So delicious! The Rich's Bar vanilla was my favorite. I also had the cannoli shake the day before and it was good but way too much cannoli cream and super super sweet. Will definitely be back. Family of seven al got ice cream for $23 read more

After the disappointing news that Rich's I was forever out of business, we switched to Rich's II. The distinct difference between the two shops is the focus on soft vs. hard ice cream. Rich's I focused on unique soft-serve flavors (like banana, coffee, and pumpkin) while Rich's II focuses on hard ice cream. I apologize for the nostalgic comment with we really do miss Rich's I! In any event, if hard ice cream is your preferred choice, Rich's II has you covered. They have everything from classic vanilla and chocolate to unique flavors like hazelnut cappuccino; not to mention, they offer both white AND green mint chip! They also carry a ton of both wet and dry toppings on hand, so your ice cream sundae knows no limit to combinations. I'm also impressed with their range of ice ream cakes, ice cream bars, and ice cream sandwiches. This place is always packed, but it's worth to make the trip out on 37 to try it. It's not too expensive and there's something to please even the pickiest of ice cream eaters. read more

I came to Rich's 2 last year and went feral for it. I live in Florida and went home and told everyone about it, it was the best icecream I've ever had. I am giving 5 stars because it was so fantastic, but I'm sad because I'm visiting again and it's closed for the entirety I'm here!!! Really wish I could pop in and have that Oreo monstrosity they make, but I plan on coming again next year so hopefully they'll be open. read more

Great ice cream good service. They are a great place to go after Philly cheesesteaks.

8/14/16 After stopping next door at Burger 25 for their stand out burgers, (see review) we entered into ice cream heaven!. Can you say Cannoli sundae ? We didn't succumb to this specialty but it did intrigue us! we stuck to some of the delicious flavors that are offered and were not disappointed, creamy, and lucious are some of the superlatives that come to mind when I think about the ice cream served there.The cute server even suggested that she ring up my total so I would have two hands free for the frigid delights, what a great idea! read more

Okay, I love this place to death. I'm from California and when I came out here this ice cream is one of the main reasons I loved New Jersey. My only problem is that they only take cash. Before they had no incentive to change anything but now that the other rich's ice cream opened up they need to take cards. I think there's a family spat going on since they aren't connected in any way but the "other" rich's is much more convenient. The fake rich's has won my business the last 4 times I've wanted ice cream, once because the real richs was closer for the season and the other three because they take card. Get a square reader or something, I really don't want to keep giving the fake richs my business but they make it much more convenient in a world where people my age don't carry cash around anymore. read more

Not sure what all the hype of this place is..maybe it's just people reminiscing on old times at rich's? Average ice cream and LONG lines. When you walk In you're typically packed like sardines waiting for your number to be called. Unfortunately since it's so crowded you never get to see what flavors are available since everyone blocks the counter. Employees are always rude and make you feel like they are doing you a favor by getting your ice cream. The place is also CASH ONLY. read more

Went here after the delightful atmosphere of Burger 25 only to be very rudely waited on. It was not crowded by any means and was around 9pm which I understand is a little later in the evening, but the girls behind the counter were so aggressive and just simply rude that I can't help but take note of. I got the Richie Bar which was a really cool twist on the classic ice cream sandwich dipped in chocolate and coated with cake crunch which was very good. We also got the watermelon gelati which has a picture description that we pointed to when ordering and the girl who seemed very annoyed by the order asked if we wanted the "seeds" (chocolate chips) and we said yes just like the picture please and she rolled her eyes and proceeded on. We were new customers and I guess since we took a minute to browse the rather large and overwhelming menu and then asked what the size differences looked like it annoyed her. Then as soon as we finished ordering, another girl started saying "ill ring you up" and we had no idea she was talking to us from the far other end of the counter. It was just a bad experience and I could say maybe the girl had a bad day, but it seemed like everyone in there was just crabby. It made the whole experience rather hard to enjoy. read more

Rich's Ice Cream II, 1611 Route 37 East, Toms River. Rich's Ice Cream II score and grade was excellent. Service was excellent and out standing. Menu prices for real ice cream was excellent. Menu was very well rounded for every body. I very highly recommend this place. read more

Awesome place! Staff was welcoming and knowledgeable. They were quick once we ordered. Everything was made perfectly and was absolutely delicious. We will absolutely be back here on our next trip. We tried the reese's sundae, heavenly. Prices are a bit higher, but its generally what you expect in a high tourist area! read more

lady was rude she didn't let my daughter get 2 flavors of ice and she said bye leave .

Rich's II is a very clean and attractive ice cream parlour, with top quality house-made offerings. The staff is quite friendly and outgoing, even when you catch them near closing time in the off-season. The place could benefit from some better outdoor seating, but given the layout of the small plaza in which it is located, there isn't much to be done about that. The pricing, as the previous reviewer mentioned, runs a bit high, but is justified by the quality of the product. Being locally owned and operated, and part of a tradition going back to the 1950's, this is precisely the kind of business I like to patronize. It makes me wish I liked ice cream more. This location has been going strong for fifteen years, and it's one of the lighthouses amidst a sea of high turnover and sometimes vacant storefronts. read more

Haven't had a 5 star'er in a long time. This is a 4.5. I haven't had custard style like this in a long time. It even beats my old favorite, Carvel, as recently it seems Carvel might have changed their recipe. Vanilla and chocolate soft serve had the best texture ever - very airy and creamy. Good flavor. Also tried their hard ice cream which was pretty excellent. Liked that the daughter here makes all the ice cream -- her parents were the original owners. How cool! Wish I lived nearby - I would go here all the time! read more

Wow! The entire family was thrilled with rich's II. They have very creative combinations like cone-oli. Their service is friendly and fast. We were so full, that we skipped dinner that night! Yum read more

Yum, yum, yum. I love Rich's II. It's right next to Island Cafe (look for the Coldwell Bank sign before the strip mall) and even if I'm stuffed from Island, I love to go to Rich's. Ok, first, Tuesdays and Thursdays are buy-one-get-one on their Gelatto. So, definitely get that. It's water ice layered with frozen yogurt and so yummy! They also have a ton of flurry varieties and I think their prices are a little high for flurries (starting at $5ish) but they have some pretty tempting signs advertising them inside. They also have frozen desserts a la Dairy Queen such as ice cream sandwiches, ice cream cakes, and some pretty sinful looking cookie dough bars. The ice cream has normal and cool varieties and is delicious. They have old fashion vanilla next to key lime pie and cotton candy (though not the sickeningly sweet kind, something really delicious!). The servers are friendly and efficient. They have numbers to make it more orderly even when it's crowded. I had the above mentioned cotton candy and key lime pie in a cone. Their prices are typical for the shore but this was a huge size small! The girl was shaking a little holding it! We got two smalls (two flavors in a small is 0.56 extra) and a milk shake for $13. A little high but soooo worth it!! read more
