I am confident Ritter’s Frozen Custard is the best ice cream/dessert shop in the entirely of Florida. It’s not technically ice cream - it’s frozen custard, which tastes way creamier and better! I have been visiting here ever since I was a kid, for probably 15+ years, and I am just as captivated by this place today as I was the first time I walked through those doors. I have been here hundreds of times, tried pretty much every flavor multiple times, almost every type of sundae, float, glacier, and other combination on their menu, and have gotten their cakes and to-go ice creams on many occasions. I can easily say you pretty much can never go wrong here. After all, just like any ice cream shop, they have samples! So try and few and pick your favorite!
My go-to order is a medium glacier with whatever is my favorite flavor of the day. My top favorite flavors at Ritter’s are: cookies ‘n crème, dreamsicle, cinnamon, caramel apple, banana, black raspberry chip, peaches ‘n crème, egg nog, black walnut, nutty aunt ella, pumpkin praline pecan, turtle somethin’, amaretto, coffee espresso, cotton candy, and spicy chocolate! If any of those flavors are available when you’re there, ask to try them!! I always like to add Heath Bar, Snickers, cookie dough or chocolate shavings to the glacier. The best thing about Ritters is the flavors are always constantly changing, so you could go every day of the month and have something new! Be sure to check their Facebook page (make sure it’s the Clermont location) to see which flavors are available that day!
Another great thing I like ordering a lot is the Turtle Sundae. I like it with many of the different flavors I mentioned above - the caramel and fudge with whipped cream, nuts and cherries is a wonderful combination! One thing you’ll love about Ritter’s is their seasonal holiday-themed flavors are some of the best they offer. It builds up so much anticipation knowing Christmas is getting closer and closer, and soon enough, egg nog will be available!!
Ritter’s Frozen Custard offers the best ice cream cakes for kids by far: I had them many times for my birthdays as a kid and I was so happy whenever we got them. Definitely consider for a birthday celebration! And all in all, the employees are usually very friendly, the place is always clean, parking is good, and it’s very conveniently-located right off Highway 50! I could spend all day writing all the best things about Ritter’s, but I think you get the picture. Once you go here the first time, it certainly won’t be the last!!
I got to try the chocolate custard from one of their ice cream trucks and it was so good! I got chocolate with cookie dough, Oreos, and short cake. All of it was so fresh and good! I love how everything is made from scratch!
My first time there. Will not be my last. The employees were friendly and helpful. Really enjoyed my Sunday.
I've been going to this Ritter's since I was a little kid, and it's been nothing but great every time. The place is just overall wonderful. The staff are great, the flavors fantastic, and it's just a good time in general. I very strongly recomend coming here.
Went last week after having moved away. It's been a few years and unfortunately the prices don't match the quality. Fat content seems lower and just not as creamy as in the years when we lived nearby. Definitely tasty, but Twisty Treat in Tavares was better. That's a sad commentary!
Very friendly and super helpful. I am celiac and they helped me completely enjoy 2 scoops!!! My son got the worms 'n dirt and loved it. We are not normally in Clermont but this will be our go to place when we are in town!!! Thank you again for your awesomeness!!!
Loved Ritter's, so yummy, good flavor options, very clean and super friendly staff.
Delicious and very inexpensive! Love their custard flavors
I stood at the counter for twenty minutes trying to decide what to get. Plenty of flavors and a ton of toppings to choose from. Staff was friendly and busy cleaning. Dinning area was spotless.
Came in and put in an order last minute. They got it together and was perfect for the little get together we had.
Great frozen custard, visit Ritters if you're visiting or in the area! Always high quality.
Our favorite icecream place. Our kids love to come here and they treat us well. Highly recommend. Very family friendly.
We've been visiting this Ritter's location for the past 8 years. We love discovering the new ice cream custard flavors for the day. The servers are always so nice and patient with our whole clan. They always let us try all the flavors we want then we pick our favorite. What's amazing is I'm very lactose intolerant and this ice cream doesn't bother my stomach at all. I can even eat the ice cream cake. I did learn the hard way that I can't eat their low fat ice cream custard though. That's ok! I have every other flavor to choose from!
Their banana custard is out of this world - absolutely my favorite. Their other options are definitely delicious too, I just wish the banana flavor was always available! We drive out of our way to grab it and have even picked some up for family on our way out of town on more than one occasion. It's a treat I look forward to every time we are in Clermont. The staff is always friendly and the store is always very clean.
I just had the best experience at Ritter’s. As soon as I walked in I was given a friendly greeting, making me feel very welcome. I was having a bad day but Serenity made my day. She is amazing! She was so kind to me her cheerful disposition was the highlight of my day. I could tell she was very busy when I came in but she was eager to help me. It’s people like her that make Ritter’s my favorite, not to mention the great frozen custard but it’s definitely the workers that make it a great place for everyone!
Ritter’s replaced Ollie’s, which had been at this location for years. Ritters is a big step up! Good service and you can get a hot dog if you want. The custard is made fresh every day.
Ritters is next to a terrific dry cleaners and a UPS store so add a cone after your errands
Awesome milkshakes, very customizable. Flavors change every day which is very cool. I come often for my milkshake needs since they're open late and I get off work late.
Everytime we go the ice cream is amazing and staff very friendly! The owners donated ice cream to our baseball team, the kids LOVED it so excited! I DIDNT HEAR A PEEP FROM MY 10YR OLD UNTIL IT WAS ALL GONE. not gonna lie pretty sure parents stole their kids ice cream too ;) love having a local place so dedicated to their community and customers. will be back over and over!
Four stars for me is technically a perfect score. I believe in saving the five stars for places that absolutely blow my mind. Ritter's was an amazing buy, customer service was great, and my order came out at a good time. You went above my expectations hence the four stars but I wasn't "blown away". There really isn't much improvement that could really be made but to provide a more unique and unforgettable dining experience. This isn't me stating I had any issues with the way the restaurant was run, this is just clarifying my personal significance of the difference between four and five stars.
