From the moment you walk through the doors, the shop’s charm begins to reveal itself. While the entrance may feel a bit unassuming with some items placed around the doorway, the inviting interior quickly sets the mood for a delightful treat. Inside, guests are welcomed with a warm, cozy environment that makes enjoying dessert feel extra special.

What truly sets Rick’s apart is the creativity behind their ice cream offerings. Their specialty sundaes have become favorites for many visitors, with the brownie sundae standing out as a star item.

The atmosphere encourages guests to linger and enjoy their desserts without rush, turning a simple ice cream run into a memorable outing.

While the shop is all about joy and indulgence, there are small details worth noting. Some guests feel that non-dessert features, like the claw machine arcade game, could be improved, as it distracts from the otherwise top-notch experience. Still, the heart of Rick’s remains its commitment to serving high-quality ice cream and creative desserts that bring people back again and again.

What customers say?

“ A lot of flavors to choose from. Good prices. We ordered and took our cones to go but there are places to sit as well. ”

“ Soooooo Delicious! Plenty of flavor choices. Award winning Milkshakes. My daughter loves her sundae. Yum! ”

“ I love Rick's Ice Cream!! We always get fast, friendly service and outstanding ice cream!! Please get rid of the claw machine that kids play to win prizes. There is a 0% chance that someone will win a prize because the claw is so loose there is no chance. ”

“ Found this place online after finding out another ice cream shop near us is closed for the season. Glad it worked out. We found a neat shop only 20 minutes down the road from a restaurant we stopped by and what a nice treat. Here you will find a nice variety of ice cream served by the scoop. There are at least 40 flavors on display and a total of 70 flavors to choose from between the menu and your imagination... possibly more! Rick's ice cream shop A.K.A. , HOME OF THE 32oz MONSTAH! Didn't try the milkshake today but as we walked in only took 5 minutes and we immediately found what we were looking for. Next comes the fun part...you get to pick a variety of cones , a variety of toppings , whipped cream, all of these choices to have it made your way The toppings are ENDLESS, the cone selection is PERFECT. You can get chocolate chip cones, chocolate dipped, sprinkles, waffle bowls plain, waffle bowls dipped in chocolate, waffle cones plain, milkshake style or simply a styrofoam cup and a spoon if you want. Guys come on by if you're in the area and see for yourself. #SMASH the like button if my review has helped you! Have an AWESOME day! ”

“ I absolutely love their frozen custard—it's hands down the tastiest treat around! Custard is more of a Southern delicacy, so having it available here is such a special delight. Their ice cream quality is fantastic, and the prices are pretty reasonable too. The place is always clean, and the friendly atmosphere makes it even better. The aroma of ice cream, toppings, and freshly made cones is just heavenly! There’s a wonderful variety of flavors and toppings to choose from. You definitely don’t want to miss out on this gem! ”

“ This is the only place where I get my Ice cream from. Staff is always friendly and there are multiple choices of Icecream. ”

“ A surprising delight. When you first walk in, there's some stuff piled beside either side of the door and could wade some people away... but the charming interior makes up for this. The real star is the specialty ice cream. I'm addicted to their brownie sundae... nice and warm which melts into the ice cream. My favorite combo is eating it with mint oreo (formerly hermit cookie). I look forward to returning and thank you for the dessert! ”

“ Spent a lot of money here trying to give good times with good food. I like that this place can put EVERYTHING (so far) into milk shakes, and they will make it in front of customers, no back room, it is all visible. If I was ever disappointed, it would be a Me problem; but ice cream is hard to wreck a day with. Hope to be back soon, but that will be some time before I have any more disposable income. I don't think it is too much, I just don't have the funds, and ice cream is a luxury I can't currently afford. ”
