As always, I need to pay Ritter's a visit, whenever I'm in the area. And as always, my experience is amazing. The frozen custard is super delicious and the place is a popular spot among those of all ages. I wish I had one of these back home. There's only outdoor seating so if it's a very hot day, hopefully this frozen treat will cool you off. Service is also great and the orders are ready quickly, I can't wait until my next visit. read more

I love deserts that are made with the simplest ingredients and offer a bang for your buck! This is the spot! I ordered the strawberry shortcake and it was very good. I would love more shortcake to come with it because I think the custard dominated it! All in all, pretty good and not too sweet! Strawberries were defrosted but yet wholesome. Service was on point and the prices here are pretty amazing! Need something quick while on the run? Just an outdoor spot with great service and a quick bite to eat! Oh, there's a great menu for the kids and a play ground to enjoy too! read more

Ritter's Frozen Custard - a dog and a person - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Port Orange, Florida

This hurts to write, but this sign really disappointed me and slightly scared me at the same time. Food safety should never be compromised no matter what your staffing issues are. The end! Next we all know there is a shortage for staffing. Service has never been super quick here, but it's always been tasty and service with a smile. I can't blame the lady working today. She made beautiful sundaes for the kiddos. My concrete was a bit melted, but it's Florida and hot so can't blame her. I'm just really disappointed in the owners using this as a complete overall excuse for everything. If you can't maintain then maybe shrink menu during this time to make things easier for your employees. Also, I noticed price increase and size decrease. I've been going here longer than I count or remember and this was the most disappointing visit. Maybe the owners should be stepping in and covering shifts to help with staffing like other restaurants? read more

Ritter's Frozen Custard is a pretty cool place (no pun intended) where they offer a great menu of ice cream. I seen by the sign as I pulled in that they also had hot dogs and french fries oh, but we were here for ice cream. By the way, they were advertising that they have Nathan's gourmet hot dogs. There was not much of a line, so we were right there in no time flat. I ordered the Peanut Butter Mountain, one of their advertised ice cream specialty items. I have to say that this was very good. They also had a kids ice cream that was not a bad size that was only ninety-nine cents. If memory serves correct, I believe it was called dirt and worms. We also got a banana splits and some special that they had on a sign with salted caramel. Everything that we got was very good. Ritter's Frozen Custard also has a pretty cool Vibe about it. It looks clean that is a lot of things to do while hanging out and enjoying your ice cream there. Prices might be slightly high, but not enough to make you avoid going there. All in all, I would definitely recommend going here and I give it five stars (). This is a cool place to spend some time (this time I 100% meant that pun). read more

I like going to Ritters Frozen Custard because they have a really nice selection of delicious items. I like the Italian ice that they have! Lemon is my favorite flavor to have especially when it's extra hot outside! it's a refreshing item to order! The service is always friendly, and the place is always busy. They have outdoor seating at picnic tables where you can relax and enjoy your custard creations with your friends and family! I recommend getting the custard in a cup in the summer hot months because the heat will melt it too fast in a cone! read more

I'm not too sure what all the hype is about with this place, I'm thinking it's purely nostalgic. Stoped in here today for lunch, ordered two hot dog baskets, one dog with spicy mustard only with chips and a drink, second a Chicago dog add jalapeños, chili with fries and a drink. Very let down to say the least, almost $17.00 for two hot dog baskets that took 15 minutes to arrive, the two girls working were very rude when I inquired about how long our meals were going to be after the first 10 minutes, then finally when our meals did arrive the fries were undercooked, the hotdogs were undercooked, and the one basket that was spicy mustard only on the dog was incorrect, Probably will not be returning here... read more

Nice olde fashion ice-cream stand with outside tables with umbrellas for shade. Regular sized Nathan's hotdogs fixed many different ways. A bit on the pricey side, thanks Costco for making the quarter pounder my norm. Ice-cream was great, much to choose from with quality toppings. Will go back when wanting a bite to eat followed by an ice-cream. read more

I tried this place this other day But today they had something called Nachos something And that was very good. I was surprised at how good this place is. Ur reminds me of the places I used to go to when I was a kid, aside from actually tasting good. I definitely recommend it and would be going back there again. Try their Nachos version for sure read more

a favorite guilty pleasure of Daytona. Great frozen custard of all manner of flavors. Just had banana and chocolate cone, great top off of a 4th fireworks display on the beach. Can also recommend flavors for next day. Red raspberry is awesome! Owner is a very nice fellow, John, and his staff is friendly, efficient and polite. open till midnite on the 4th of july and some days when the Daytona raceway has evening races. we stop anytime we are in town. read more

I've been driving by this place for the last ten years and I guess since this visit was my first it's obvious my curiosity wasn't an overwhelming factor in the decision making process. To be honest I'm not a huge fan of frozen custard and today's visit reinforced that, I ordered a small vanilla cake cone which was dripping before the friendly ice cream server girl handed it to me, I understand that if you infuse this frozen media with fruits and nuts and cover it in chocolate and whipped cream it can be turned into quite the treat but I'm a minimalist when it comes to some foods not that I don't love the enhancements I just like to love what I'm enhancing. I can agree that this place has become somewhat of an iconic fixture on this corner lot - there's plenty of parking and the grand patio surrounding this frozen custard stand gives it a park like setting. If you love this type of product then you might find you're piece of heaven here, for me it was refreshing and soothing but also something I could probably drive by and not feel like I'm missing out on anything... read more

The best ice cream place I like in the town. They have different flavors every time I went and I am a regular here. The fresh banana with strawberries is a must try. The collate flavor is my second best and some time they have espresso flavor with crunchy chocolate pieces inside that's delicious too. But it's a bit pricey though. Once in a while you can indulge yourself at this place. read more

Amazing ice cream! I get the turtle ice cream and it is amazing! Never fails, super fast service, clean & reasonable prices.

OmG, best milkshakes ever. No matter what you're doing- if you're going to Port Orange, make it over and get a milkshake. Smooth, creamy, super flavors. Nothing compares. I recommend the chocolate as a first choice, but you really can't go wrong! read more

Just kind of mediocre. Cute little building but the frozen deserts were dull, lacking any specialness, and is way overpriced. Further, the young teen staff were utterly disinterested in doing their jobs -- excessive time waiting for someone to take our order & even more time wasted waiting for anyone to bother to make the order. There are lots of places for ice cream nearby, suppose this one won't be high on the list to visit again. read more

Love me some frozen custard and try to get it whenever I'm in the south east. Ritter's seems like a beloved chain with long ties to the community. This is nice, clean, large location was easy to find, with plenty of parking. In order to highlight the "custardyness" of this treat, I ordered a vanilla cone. It was good, but very white and not very "custardy" As I understand it, eggs are the difference and there was little evidence of their presence. To me, it was just a slightly more rich version of soft serve :( As such, it was also seemed to be a bit overpriced. read more

Wow I didn't remember them being this pricey. Their prices are ridiculous! The frozen custard is really good though. They have a lot of flavors to choose from. I had heath bar custard with Reese's cups mixed in yum! They also sell Nathan's hog dogs. Service is very slow and it took forever for the group ahead of us to order. There is only outdoor seating here so come on a nice sunny day. read more

I love frozen custard! I had no idea what frozen custard was until my mom brought me to Ritter's on one of my visits. It is amazing! Ritters has a lot of flavors and a lot of ways to get your custard. We usually go with the strawberry sundae with toasted pecans. The medium is PLENTY big and can totally serve as a meal. In fact we have gone there for "dinner" on numerous occasions. A couple things to note though... They only have outdoor seating, so visiting when the weather is nice is a good idea. Otherwise you may have to sit in your car. Their service isn't speedy but it isn't because they aren't trying. It seems like no matter what day, time of day, or time of year you go they are always busy. Thats a good thing right? But because of that sometimes you will have to wait in line for a bit. So keep that in mind if you are in a hurry. But believe me, it is totally worth it. They are a little pricey. One of the reasons that we don't mind is because it is delicious and as I mentioned before it could easily replace a meal. And sometimes i'd just rather spend my money on a strawberry sundae than a value meal from a fast food restaurant. If you are in the area I would suggest giving them a try. They aren't near the beach so if you are visiting make sure to look them up ahead of time. They are only about 5 minutes from the highway, so its an easy stop before you head back to where ever you came from :) read more

Best ice cream period! It's rich and creamy and dense the way ice cream should be. The flavors are awesome! The only issue I have is there aren't more locations! If you are near a Ritter's, go! You won't be disappointed!! read more

Went there got the Nathans Hot Dog with fries $6 bucks for a 4" hot dog? Really total ripoff all these places are getting so cheap with their food but their prices are outrageous no thanks ill stay home. read more

Delicious! Soft and creamy scoops of heavenly custard! Lots of flavors and toppings to choose from. They have waffle cones (dripped or regular), cake cones, sundaes, and other yummy options to choose from. If you're hungry for a hotdog or fries they also have those options. I can imagine this place being a good choice on a hot day! read more

I've been here before and I think the quality food you get depends on the day. I ordered a hot dog with ketchup mustard and sauerkraut and it was missing so what was the purpose of paying .50 for it to just be missing? And I also ordered chili cheese fries and it tasted like it was fried twice. I got my food to go I went to the window and it was closed, they should have someone there to hand the food off unless the customer is supposed to open it up. The ice cream was ok. read more

We LOVE Ritters! I get the vanilla custard with the mango ice. To die for. Definitely try this place if you haven't already. Anything on the menu is great and the hours are even better; late night hours! Always a plus when you have a group of hardworking kids on a team looking for a delicious treat after a game! read more

Craving something sweet, my wife and I decided to stop off at Ritter's while in the area. There was a decent size crowd when we arrived, but the line moved quickly. I got a scoop of mint chocolate chip in a cake cone and my wife ordered a scoop of vanilla in a waffle cone with chocolate sprinkles. Upon first look, the custard looks like ice cream, but once you taste it, it's different. It's creamier and silkier. I'm not generally a frozen treat gal, but the mint chip was outstanding! I ate every bite! My wife said hers was good too. The girl really loaded her up on sprinkles, which she LOVES. As we sat and enjoyed our cones there was a live musician playing a keyboard and singing. It was so silly but made everyone smile. My one and only complaint was the bugs, but we live in Florida and chose to eat icecream outside at night. read more

Just a great place for ice cream. The hot dogs are delicious and the fries are the best. Good for families.

This is a fun walk-up ice cream place. They have a lot of variety for flavors and sundaes. It's a bit pricy though so be prepared to spend some money. They do have food options but I wouldn't recommend eating here. The food tastes cheap and is sloppy. But overall, it's a good ice cream stand. read more

Ritters is our favorite family place to go for special sundaes, any type of ice cream, cones, shakes, Special cakes, whatever we're hungry for and now they even have food the pork barbecue is fantastic and the hotdogs are great and now there's even french fries and then we can have our turtle Sundae after thank you Ritters!! read more

I can't tell you how disappointed I am in Ritters. Went yesterday with my two grandchildren who usually love to go there. Their children's meal usually has a small hot dog -about 4-inches long -an smiley fries! When I ordered the BOY that took my order had no clue -I asked for the children's meal with smiley fries-he told me that "don't got those"! When I ever got their meal I wanted to throw it back through the window!!!! They took a regular hot dog and cut it in half for my two grandchildren -he got 1/2 she got 1/2-and they got a very few regular fries! So sad - we will be finding another special place for us to spend time together and have lunch!! And BTW I got a plain hot dog and fries and a medium unsweet ice tea (make sure you bring your own sweetener-the BOY new nothing about them his response to Splenda or Equal was "what's that? No we ain't got that" - and the whole thing was $16.84! FOR WHAT! This is what we should pay $15.00 an hour for! Really! read more

This place has the best ice cream in the area hands down! I absolutely love the sundaes and milk shakes! They usually have several flavors available that are made on site, and the ones I have tried were incredible! Nathan's hot dogs and snacks are also available here, so give them a try, you will absolutely not regret it! read more

Love the custard! Can't stay away! Different flavors and friendly service! Thanks for not closing!

The ice cream/custard is good. It's on the higher priced side. They have some good toppings. The cookie dough is garbage. Steer clear of that one and you'll likely have a good experience. read more

I'm really not a fan of Ritter's. I do enjoy the fine patio and relaxed, fun atmosphere of sitting around at this community landmark. But I'm just not a fan of the Frozen Custard. The "vanilla" just doesn't seem to have a flavor at all. It doesn't taste like anything. I usually get a sundae for nearly $6.00 and if it wasn't for the strawberry sauce, hot fudge sauce, etc., the whole thing would have no flavor. I find that odd. It's pricy, but the serving size is decent. Maybe I just need to try something else. But so far, my reaction is "Meh. I've experience better." read more

Food was terrible. Ice cream is mediocre. Atmosphere is loud next to a busy road. Employees were not the least bit friendly. Won't be back.

Absolutely the best and always willing to accommodate I enjoy all their flavors can't go wrong

God, this place is so good. While this Custard stand is a chain, this is the only Ritter's location in the state of Florida -- all of the rest are located in Indiana, Iowa, or some other state where frozen treat stands are only open a portion of the year. The name is a misnomer, though, since it is not really custard. It is more along the lines of French Vanilla with additional flavors. It is that additional egg that is added that gives it such a wonderful creaminess and the lack of infused air which helps give a compact and rich texture. They always have six fresh flavors "on tap" and many more in the freezer. I do enjoy the Vanilla and Chocolate but look forward to their Turtle flavor when it is made fresh. All seating is exterior, so feel free to bring the pups! On certain days, pups even get a free cup. read more
