First time at this establishment. Walked in, and none of the counter people acknowledged my presence for the 15 minutes standing there. It wasn’t even crowded. Left.

Mmm, ice cream on a rainy night... or a milkshake to be exact, the chocolate kind! Turns out, this place offers a multitude of different chocolate ice cream flavors!! It was the perfect dessert after dinner on Saturday, just the right sweetness for my taste buds, and so cute with the candy striped straw. Also got the strawberry lemonade sorbet and old school lemonhead candy (chewy version), which were delightful. Service was helpful and efficient, no waits (except the staff waiting for US to make our selections... sorry but there's too much good stuff to choose from on the menu). The atmosphere and decor give off a casual and fun-loving vibe. There's also indoor seating, a restroom, and easy parking right out front for convenience, making Rick's the ideal spot for enjoying sweet treats.

They have blue moon ice cream! I’ve never seen it outside the Midwest, and I couldn’t have been happier. Loads of flavor options, friendly service.

It's my to go place after I finish eating at the "green elephant" next door. Super kind staff and I love the selections of ice cream they have. The benches outside are super nice touch to just sit and car watch.

The ice cream is great but having to pay $8 for a double scoop in a cup is a ripoff!! The scoops weren't even normal size. I took a pic but it doesn't give a good representation of how small it was and the price is outrageous!! You just lost a loyal long time customer!!!!

Was excited for Rick's, but the icecream (we tried a vegan flavor and regular flavor) was just not that good? It had a weird texture and the taste was just not rich or creamy the way a good icecream is. The ordering process was also confusing bc of all the the signs in the store.

I was served disgusting freezer burned ice cream that was very icy and gritty. I guess the flavor might've been okay if I wasn't so disgusted by the texture in my mouth.If I was buying bulk ice cream for cheap this texture would be acceptable, but for this price I expect that the ice cream is at least stored properly. Consider another premium ice cream venue if you want a good chance of enjoying it.

Unconventionally tech savvy for an old school shop. Crazy delicious flavors, I will be back...the cardamom, the rose, the pistachio, the saffron oh my! Legit Rocky Road...really chocolatety and loaded with goodies. Highly recommended.

I didn't expect much prior to coming in here, but I was rather surprised to find so many different ice cream flavors available. They had some really unique flavors like kulfi, cherry chocolate, and my favorite, mocha almond fudge. There were also vegan options, sorbet, and a case filled with tubs of ice cream to take home. Overall, this is a great place to stop in for an ice cream fix.

My kids always love here.

Great service, helpful and patient with newcomers. Around 50 flavors of very rich ice cream. I had a milk shake, which was very thick.

Ice cream could be a bit more creamier for my taste. But overall great flavors and staff.

I love ice cream and my husband saw good reviews at Ricks ice cream. Wanted to like this place. I normally do not walk out but the second person who took over helping was passive aggressive out of nowhere. Tasting the ice cream was unclear. Plenty of other ice cream places that has great service and great flavors of ice cream. Wasn't a fan of how my husband and I was treated as customers so we will not be recommending this place to any of our family and friends.
