Service friendly. I ordered a strawberry shake, and it was watery. Did not taste like real ice cream. It did not taste good at all. Very disappointing. It will not go back and it was too expensive for what I got. read more

Most people have their go to ice cream/custard places, and this location has to be the tops in the Katy/Cypress area for atmosphere, taste, service and its' almost magical allure. Everyday new flavours are made, but they have staples always available like chocolate and vanilla and sugar free. We follow them on Facebook to get their daily made flavours versus making the effort to drive by to see their sign, which always seems to be ill-timed with advertisements right when we want to see the flavours of the day. Mostly they have pretty conservative flavours or none that seem worth the drive. But I'd say about once a month something comes along that we can't refuse, like Mexican chocolate. But the custard is excellent since it's more rich and smooth than ice cream, so you can't go wrong with a simple chocolate with cookie dough. But their atmosphere has an aura about it that is extremely inviting, particularly on a warm evening after sunset. Those lights, striped umbrellas, almost a carnival like environment when the crowds get going. People sit around the porch tables while customers stand around waiting and long lines of cars snake their way around the building, so pick your poison, because when it's busy, you may wait 45 minutes, but very worth it!! Workers are always bright and friendly, too! My advice, park, get out and order, it's much faster and more fun! read more

Ordered a Turtle Sundae $5.75 gave the girl a $10 bill and she asked me if I wanted my CHANGE??? Besides handing me my sundae through a window, what service did she provide??? Tipping has gotten out of hand these days. Most people tip for good service but in my opinion there has to be some service provided to warrant a tip. Taking an order, and handing me the product out the window is not it. read more

I love RITTER'S and it's always my go to for a neighborhood sweet treat. I was immediately served at the walk up window and ordered a snow cone today - strawberry with condensed milk. It soothed my craving, but it was just ok...the strawberry flavor was good, the ice for the snowball was pretty chunky as opposed to smooth and the condensed milk seemed like sweet cream as opposed to condensed milk.... read more

Maybe good for kids that dont know any better, but this was not good. Cheap ice cream taste, cheap fudge, canned whipped cream. $5 for something you can buy a whole gallon of better ice cream at the store. I had to throw away after a couple bites and went to Freddy's 5 min away. read more

This is the only place I know that has marshmallow pieces! No I don't want marshmallow fluff, that doesn't do anything for me. I can't even see it when the custard is vanilla (Connie's Custard.) I love Ritter's! I get the large vanilla custard with Heath and Marshmallow pieces. I like the texture and that the marshmallows don't get hard. They always get my order correct and fast! They always have a ton of customers and a line when I am there. Bringing all of my out of town friends and family here! read more

Delicious custard ... brought back memories . Unfortunately theNathan's hot dogs were sold out . Will be back!

The food is always good, the service is great, they are always polite. The price is right.

Didn't know that there was a difference between Custard and regular ice cream until we visited this place. We always come here at least 2 to 3 times a month to get some fresh frozen custard. Daily specials are run and they always have a new flavor to try every day. We always get the smallest serving size because it's a lot of ice cream for three bucks. I'm a kid at heart so I normally get the worms in dirt and love it! There is always a long line when we drive by here so this place is very popular. read more

Ice cream' gelati, glaciers, shakes and they even have Nathan's hot dogs which I will have to try on another visit. read more

Ritter's Frozen Custard - My fav Strawberry Shake! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Katy, Texas

We stopped by on the way back from dinner at nearby Koby. The place was BUSY. Tables with umbrellas in the front. I had a big dinner, so decided to get a NSA frozen custard.

Ritter's Frozen Custard - Butterscotch sundae. Awesome! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Katy, Texas

Can't go wrong with this place. Every single item I've tried here has been delicious.

Been coming over for years. All their products are good. I love their German Chocolate Cake and wife gets sugar free sundae. Always a treat!

My go to place for custard. I can't have sugar and they have an option for me. The wait is long through the drive through but get out and get it at the counter and it's pretty quick. read more

Every single time I go it's 5 stars. Why can't Yelp just let you keep your reviews to characters you want to use? Ritters is awesome!

I still love the custard and the different favors they offer. I have been going here since it first opened. when they first build it and then opened the drive thru. read more

I love this place! If you've not tried it, I definitely recommend that you try it. Ritters has the best frozen custard!

If you've not tried it yet I definitely recommend you stop in and try it! You won't regret it you'll love it! read more

Their strawberry shortcake is amazing and their butter pecan ice cream is my favorite, sad they on have it on Sundays!

We try not to visit Ritter's to often but our bellies want it at least once a month. I get the Peanut Butter Mountain that is filled wit so much peanut butter I have my fix satisfied for a few days! The custard is smooth, creamy, and wonderful. The line is always long and so is the wait but its worth the time spent. Maybe I should start doing squats or burpies while waiting to but some calories before I indulge. read more

Let me start by saying that Ritters has amazing ice cream. Well my bday was a week ago and my wife bought me an ice cream cake. We finally got down to the last slice tonight and (this sounds fishy, but I'm not the type of person to make this up) there was a broken off part of a plastic utensil! I couldn't believe it! We didn't use any plastic while cutting/serving the cake, so I know it was left by whoever made the cake. This was upsetting especially since we're in a pandemic. This was careless and dirty! read more

Really good custard! Good variety of flavors. Much faster to order at window than to go thru the drive thru

Hello my fellow yelpers! I go to Ritter's on a regular basis with my family and is never disappointing. Nice place with a good outdoor seating area and the staff is really friendly, prices are really good and affordable. The custard ice creams are really creamy and delicious. Every day they have 3 different flavors and of course the regular ones. I recommend this place 100%! read more

Ritter's Frozen Custard - Banana split! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Katy, Texas

Ritters is a true treat. I've been frequenting them for 30 years and never had a bad visit. My only complaint is that periodically I have to lay off the ice cream when I'm dieting. My favorite menu item is the mint chocolate chip smoothie. Very refreshing! Dining area is outdoors only, but it is shaded. They have a drive thru and a walk up window. read more

This place use to be great the staff WAS professional and the owner was amazing. This new team is terrible and the quality is not the same. Wont be going there anymore. read more

This Ritter's - though a semi-national chain - is the only location in Texas and resides in Katy, holding many fond memories for so many locals ...myself included. I had my first date here with my high school sweet heart. I arrived at his place to help him with Spanish homework, and when I realized no one was home and he was attempting to lure me into his room, I suggested we head out for Ritter's to put a freeze on his fast moves. He somehow charmed me, as did the custard, and it quickly became our after-school/after-movie/after-makeout-sesh hangout. It's the cutest little place for a friends or family outing. You order from the stand, and then grab a seat in the outdoor area - or take it to go and hope it doesn't melt by the time you get home. They have super rich, creamy custard. You can never go wrong with vanilla. They also have sundeas, banana splits, blizzards and all the fun toppings and mixers like crushed Oreo and M&Ms. read more

Love , Love , sorry the one on Dairy Ashford closed. But the original has always been worth the trip. Which is about 40mins or longer, of course during the week. I love the seasonal choices but also like the peanut butter flavor. read more

Visited family in Katy TX and we went to Ritter's. This stuff is deeelicious!! We all had something different and everyone was happy!! And to top it off, the service is friendly. Can't wait for my next trip read more

So I went back to Ritter's. This time I went and had their frozen custard. I had the Peaches. The custard is similar to frozen yogurt than ice cream. I bought the small size for $1.97. I had room for another so I went and bought an Italian Ice -- Watermelon. This was great. I can't compare it to other Italian Ices, but this is the second Italian Ice I have had at Ritter's and both were great. Again, not too sweet. It melted in my mouth really smooth. It didn't make my mouth frozen, like an Icee would do. The high school looking kids working at this place were actually nice also. They greeted you when you arrive at the window and actually thanked you. From what I could see, the kids weren't inside goofing off. This place was perfect. read more

I remember taking a class "field trip" across the playground in the fourth grade. It was my first time ever going to Ritters! That was over 20 years ago. I still love this place. read more

Great frozen custard! I had a vanilla custard sundae with the caramel topping. It was Great! I also tried the pumpkin cheesecake sundae, Yummy! Lots of different toppings and custards to choose from, something for everyone. Plenty of parking, lots of outdoor seating (all the tables were clean), friendly employees and great custard. I can't wait to come back. read more

First time I had frozen custard, I forgot where it was and maybe it's better that way, it wasn't a good experience. Then my Dad wanted to take me here and I had my reservations. I see a sign with vintage/retro lettering to it and we come to this building which is something from the 50's. There's a long menu all along the building and I decided to get the Strawberry Shortcake Sundae. My dad decided to get a vanilla waffle cone. I figure Shortcake Sundae wouldn't cause a mess since you have to eat it out in the heat. The Sundae was great and I'm going to make it one of the places to go when I visit Houston. Pros - good frozen custard. Cons - service was decent (although the cashier seemed overwhelmed), it's outdoors. Suggestion: Maybe bring some water so you are hydrated while you are enjoying your frozen custard. read more

Ritter's Frozen Custard - Strawberry Shortcake Sundae. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Katy, Texas

It's wonderful however I usually get my ice cream a little too melted as if it's half soup.

The first time I saw frozen custard on tv, I was hooked on the thought because i'm a huge fan of frozen sweet dairy products. So, when someone reminded me of frozen custard through the talk thread, my interest had resurfaced and the first place I thought about was Ritters in Katy. I've never been to Ritters, let alone tried frozen custard. So, after taking a few pictures of the place on my iphone, I waited in line and at the same time looked at the selection of flavors that were available. If was a tough decision between the mint oreo and cherry cheesecake, but I decided on the cherry cheesecake. Since I had not eaten dinner, I decided on the single scoop with a cone, however, Ritters also has sugar and waffle cones as well. They also serve Nathan's hot dogs and chili fritos. As the person was getting my frozen delight, I noticed the person putting my cone on a weighing scale. It was a bit disappointing to see that because it really took away from the experience. I understand it's a franchise, but is it really necessary to weigh the food. The frozen custard itself was ok. Because it was so hot, I had to devour it really fast and didn't get a chance to savor it, otherwise all of it would have melted in my hand. Frozen custard has a creamier texture than ice cream which is more denser, and is probably why it melted so quickly. So, the million dollar question is, would I ever go back? Probably so if I'm in the area, but I wouldn't go out of my way to make it a destination. read more

My first time here and I have to say, I have no idea what a frozen custard was until now. Basically it's an ice cream with more milk, making it smoother and creamier taste and texture. It's not bad. In fact it's pretty darn tasty for someone with a sweet tooth. Prices is reasonable, drive though is a plus, service is okay, location is a bit of a drive. Another neat thing about this place is they have outdoor seating, which on a nice sunny afternoon makes for a nice place to be. So in conclusion, diffidently something to add in my bookmark for desserts. read more
