“Stopped by here for a quick dessert while visiting Harrisburg. It was a chilly day, so ordered it to go. There's a few small tables and 2 benches if you want to eat outside as there's no indoor seating. There was only 1 party in front of me, so was able to order quickly. Ordered the Reese's Concrete which is their frozen custard mixed with Reese's Peanut Butter pieces and chocolate. It was very creamy with a nice consistency that was easy to mix. I was curious to try the Gelati as it has the Italian Ice and Custard mixed, so will have to try that next time.”

“Always have great treats. I miss having a location on the shoreline back in CT. Yes, there are a few still in state, but all are a good drive away.”

“Yummy again! Each time I visit Harrisburg or Mechanicsburg I have to try a different flavor or treat. This time I tried vanilla custard with papaya ice and cherries added. Absolutely delicious! Everyone took bite of mine.”

“Service is always friendly, considerate and accurate. Howeever, the ice flavors are pretty much the same everytime. I would describe the flavors at this location as limited and boring. The custard flavors are basically vanilla or chocolate. From time to time there may be one other. Even so, it cannot be used for Mistos/Blenders. It just makes no sense. Especially, when I have been to many other locations that have a large variety of ice and custard flavors and who aren't afraid to use them. Lol... This Ritas Ice is a last resort for me anymore. :(”
