Highlight: Medium Vanilla Frozen Custard ($5) Smooth, creamy, and buttery. The texture is typically consistent throughout the custard, but there was a hint of tiny ice bits when I went this time. Pretty sweet, but no overpowering sweet aftertaste. Cold to hold but not as cold when you're eating it. Definitely worth the visit and such a unique texture! Hospitality: Fast service, received my order as soon as we finished paying. Honorable Mention: Great hangout spot for the summertime. Good amount of outdoor seating. read more

Ritter's Frozen Custard - Medium Vanilla Frozen Custard ($5) - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Dayton, Ohio

AWESOME! Great service, drive Thru, excellent frozen custard, delicious frozen custard cakes, yummy gelato's, authentic Nathan's hot dogs, locally owned business. Another MUST TRY! , read more

Custard is the best, always good quality. But the service is almost always bad. Workers there are so rude and snippy. They don't have basic customer service skills, and they are often too eager to get you out of their line, so then they don't listen to your order and end up giving you the wrong items. Definitely avoid this location and just make the drive to beavercreek. read more

Love your yummy ice creams and fun service from employees. Great ice cream and desserts shop.

So so so good!! I mean how could you not love Ritter's?! It's a Dayton staple. The frozen custard is out of this world good and the service is just as good! Tonight I had the Banana Split...perfect. I absolutely recommend! Please try Ritter's! They're amazing!! read more

One of my favorite places to get ice cream. I got the brownie Sunday with cappuccino flavor. It was very good. On a summer evening they usually get busy. There is plenty of parking spaces and outdoor sitting. read more

Service is fast. I love their dog days the 1st Monday monthly (and my dog does, too). Their sundaes are sublime. Love the different flavors daily. read more

Ice cream is just terrible, taste like plato, could get better ice cream at udf or speedway, definetly won't come back here

We love going through the drive-thru and getting ice cream cones. The service is great and fast! The sundaes are also really yummy, especially the strawberry ones! Keep up the good work! read more

Mmm vanilla custard with mango Italian ice, this is all a girl could ask for! Try this place for sure. So many flavors, changes everyday.

Love their custard! My favorite is the Reese's Peanut Butter Mudslide. All of the frozen Ice flavors are good. I could eat here every day.

We recently rediscovered frozen custard, mainly because we have spent so much time in other states that don't offer good quality custard that we have been eating mainly "standard" ice cream. Finding Ritter's again, with fast, friendly service has been great. All their locations are pretty much the same so you know what you are getting; it's mainly a difference of how attentive the servers are during that particular visit. Honestly, most times it seems that these places are staffed by high school kids without huge amounts of supervision so sometimes the kids get distracted with their own conversations inside the store but generally things are pretty good. Major downside on this visit was that they blew through the cup in which they were making my glacier (mixing the mixins) and rather than giving me a new cup, they just stick an old one on the outside. Saved them from tossing the product, but I ended up chewing on some of the styrofoam at the end. Not cool. read more

I have always loved Ritters product but have been REALLY disappointed with the value recently. Purchased a "build your own" 1 scoop sundae with 2 toppings and it was $5.50 for a TINY cup when the set sundaes are only .50 more and about 3x the size - it makes no sense. The kids sundae my daughter got was $3.50 and much less ice cream than visits before. I understand the economy has created price issues but Ritters has ripped off the customer with its portion sizes and sadly we won't be returning. read more

Ritter's Frozen Custard - a woman eating a bowl of frozen custard - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Dayton, Ohio

I love this place and the location! Every time I visit, I always have a difficult time deciding between all the different custard flavors. I want them all! They will let you sample if you request to try some. In addition to frozen custard, they also have Italian ice, a variety of sundaes, and frozen custard cakes. I have tried many items on their menu on many different occasions and have never been disappointed. I have also ordered frozen custard cakes and pies for special occasions and it has been wonderful. Their prices are affordable and you are able to customize everything to your liking. You do need to pre-order your cakes at least 24 hours prior to picking it up. For this visit, we ordered a scoop of frozen custard and 2 gelatis. A gelati is layered with frozen custard and Italian ice. If you opt for the Gelati blend, then they will blend the custard and Italian ice together. My hubby loves that option! We love coming here on a nice night and sitting outside on their patio tables. read more

Ritter's Frozen Custard - (L to R) Gelati w/strawberry, Gelati w/root beer, and a scoop of turtle sundae - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Dayton, Ohio

Did a search for desserts in Dayton and this place came up. Glad it did as well! Really cool location with all sorts of outdoor seating. It was very classic looking and circular shaped, something definitely out of the 60s. I had the turtle sundae which was excellent and very tasty. A friend of mine tried just some ice cream with the cake batter topping. It wasn't like cake batter topping, just a syrup. But still pretty decent. Overall great place for dessert and the prices were right! read more

Always a good experience. I haven't had anything I haven't liked yet and the same goes for my husband. Love that it's open year-round.

My first time trying Ritter's italian ice and it was delicious. I purchased the mango and strawberry italian ice. I will definitely go back to try their ice cream and sundaes. The employee was very nice and helpful. Thanks Ritter's I will definitely be back. read more

Ritter's Frozen Custard - Strawberry & Mango Italian Ice - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Dayton, Ohio

Stopped at Ritter's for a frozen treat. Got the days special, my usual one scoop in a cake cone. A double chocolate cone. It was heavenly! So smooth and silky on tongue, very chocolate good. This is a great Dayton shop. read more

We have been customers here for years and lately the quality has gone downhill. The treats we received tonight were particularly bad. My husband ordered a glacier made with lemon custard with cake mix-ins. There were zero mix-ins in the glacier. It was just lemon custard in a cup. I ordered a Grizzly Cub Special. What I received was one scoop of vanilla custard doused in so much hot fudge I could barely taste the custard. Typically, the Grizzly Cub comes with peanuts. There were none. We went through the drive through and didn't check our orders until we got home. It was a very disappointing trip. Next time, I'm just going to drive the extra few minutes to Graeter's. read more

My husband and I have always had positive experiences when we visit Ritters. Today was no exception. Servers/cashiers are always friendly and polite, they smile as though they truly enjoy their jobs, and we've never heard employees complaining. Ritter's employees remind us of employees at Dorothy Lane Market--they're the best! Thank you for providing good tasting frozen custard with a smile and making our day wonderful! We'll see you again soon. read more

Good custard, no low prices, and HUGE servings ... like a bucketload of custard, seriously too much. Great place to grab a sweet treat on a nice day. read more

We love Ritters & often go to the Beavercreek location. Today my husband stopped by the Kettering location. Big mistake! The man taking the order was rude, kept cutting us off while ordering. The Peanut Butter Mountain looked bad and my husband commented. The worker offered to make him a new one & said to keep the other. Then he charged us for all 3!! The man said he had worked there for 7 years. Very disappointing! Bypass Kettering & go to Bcreek location. read more

With Ritas closed for the season, I gave Ritter a shot. Bought the quart size of both chocolate and vanilla. Same taste as Ritas, but 7 more ounces and $ 3 less. This will be my new GO TO place for frozen custard. read more

Never had frozen custard before coming to Dayton. It's one of my favorite desserts of all time. Definitely fan of a twix concoction they have along with the brownie sundae. read more

Fast service. Ice cream is super rich and delicious! First time at a Ritter's, but judging by crowd, this is a local favorite. Worth the trip! read more

Yuumy for my tummy!! I can partake while watching my girlish figure. Offer a "lite" with slpenda..tonight carmel with sprinkle of chopped crunchy salted pecans ..and yes with my southern roots it's pronounced PEECANS..giggle..love the variety something for every icecream craver. Outside seating nice especially on bring your dog night...dogs live Ritter too!! read more

Might not look like a chain, but they are. Still, it's great custard, at a very fair price, in a nice setting (lots of outdoor seating). Service was quick and friendly. read more

Everything I've had from here is delicious. The custard is rich & creamy, and their peanut butter shake is amazing. The employees are always friendly. My whole family loves this place. read more

Consistenly good, a great summer treat ,and huge combinations of flavor. In my opinion, frozen custard is much better than ice cream, I think it's a texture thing. Customer service is always good and they have a free custard for dogs night which is cool (pun intended)! I'm a fan of Ritter's Frozen Custard! read more

We checked this place out on a chilly day in late March, so we didn't get to enjoy the plentiful outdoor seating, but the treats are top-notch! Really creamy custard and lots of choices. I know this will be our spot for summertime. read more

I've been going to this location since they opened. Too many times recently their signature Glacier did not have enough custard and/or enough mix in. This seems to be a trend even as the price keeps going up. It's too bad as I really try to support local small business. It has to work both ways. They need to support me as a customer with good value. read more

I prefer this Ritters location over the one in Beavercreek. The employees are nice, friendly, and professional. They work hard to get your order made in a timely fashion. Their custard is always at the right temp (not extra soft like the Beavercreek location) and they are very consistent in taste. Personally love the birthday cake and pumpkin custard! read more
