"Our little whole in the wall location we like to go to coming from South Lyon. Don’t get me wrong. DQ in South Lyon is good, a bit overstated for what’s available and the traffic it gets, but Ritters just seems to be the better place for us. I love that their water ice is like how Ritas is or close to it. Check them out, nice atmosphere!"

"They have the best ice cream around hands down! They have new flavors and all are delicious. You want options? Go here! The only down fall is that alot of the workers are very young and sometimes they spend more time talking inside than fixing your ice cream. Side conversations are high and service could be a little better. They are young and just need to be taught and I'm sure it could improve! Overall 5 stars!"

They have ice cream cakes as well, some always in stock and you can request special order ones as well. I normally get the strawberry delight! Everything is amazing here, you won't be disappointed Also would get floats as a kid, so good."

"In last 2 weeks my husband and I have visited this place 3 to 4 times. This place is one of the best frozen custard place we have been to. Everytime they have few different flavors and since we like trying new flavors we have always got something different there. Never disappointed. Always surprised by how the texture, taste and variety of flavors this place has. The flavors are at a perfect level of sweetness too. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone out there who love frozen custards."

"Always great Frozen Custard and toppings. Hot fudge sundae to peanut butter fudge mountain. Yum. This visit was no wait and fast. One of the best Custard places I have been to in several states. Wife loves it and so does the puppy. Updated: 9April2024: Drivethru only last night (Monday) but pretty fast for the long line. Pup cups are still Custard not just whipped cream like some places. Thanks"
