A great walk up Ralph's ices counter that makes it very easy for grab and go. Super no fuss and open space to walk through. As always, Ralph's is a Long Island staple so I love grabbing it when I'm in town. The ice cream flavors are always good no matter which location which is great to see the consistency. Service was also efficient even when the line gets busy. My favorite flavor are always the seasonal ones! read more

The employees friends stood there for an hour and talked to her even as ppl were ordering the employee was then were very rude when taking our order much more interested in gossiping with her friends read more

This girl working here on 10/10/25, complained about what I ordered. Which was just a apple cobbler sundae. Saying "bruhhhh apple cobbler, this is my worst nightmare". Just thoughts like that shouldn't be said out loud, I find it to be rude. read more

Ralph's Famous Italian Ices - apple cobbler sundae and vanilla chip creme ice - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Plainview, New York

I get it, everything is getting expensive so I understand the price increases. But did I really just pay $6.50 for a small vanilla soft serve cone? And this isn't even Carvel? We questioned it and they said that was it. Looked at the prices and it's $6.50 for a large but they still insisted the charged us the right price. Something doesn't seem right...just a few blocks away is Carvel and that's where you'll find us. I rather drive a little further to a different Ralph's before I come back here. So be aware of what they're charging you cause there's some shady business going on here. read more

First time trying and I am always in Hicksville. This place is truly a hidden gem, I was brought to this place by my fellow Yelper Sher! We had some salty, spicy dinner and wanted to quench our thirst! This really hit the spot! The workers seem efficient, ordering and the wait time was really seemless. For first timer, they asked if I would like to try some samples! So nice. I really loved the Lemon Lime iced! I will definitely be back! read more

Ralph's Famous Italian Ices - Cherry lime and lemon lime water ice! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Plainview, New York

Mudslide. I dream of Mudslide. Back when I lived on LI, I was right across the street from a Ralph's location. Dangerous. No wonder I couldn't lose weight. Mudslide was my go-to favorite cream ice flavor. But then I spied chocolate marshmallow and had to try it. Yum. So, I got a medium half mudslide and half chocolate marshmallow. It was a good day. I miss Ralph's. But my thighs don't. Next time I head to the Island, I'm hitting another Ralph's....maybe even this one. Such a treat. read more

See all

I have both worked here and been a customer here. I can say that I have thoroughly enjoyed being on both ends. First of all, the hand dipped ice cream is the best and the flavors you can get at this store are plentiful. Enjoyed working here since 2017 as it was my first job. Have been always treated with respect by the owners and had some really good times with coworkers as well. read more

I get the vanilla chip no sugar added ice. After I eat it I hit the bathroom and oh it feels soooo nice. The perfect spot to bring your shortie or boo. They will think your number one and then you will have an incredible number two. So if you're in the mood to make an incredible poo. Grab a sweet no sugar added ice from Ralph's and enjoy it in the loo. read more

The place was clean, the employees were polite and the owner was respectful to his employees. Never mind the ices....

This is the second Ralph's I have been to. Ralph's has a plethora of choices including cream ice, water ice, and soft serve. The employees are friendly and willing to let you taste anything your heart desires. They take cash or card! read more

One girl was working there, charged my wife for the order then forgot to give her the order. When she finally gave her the to go order it was with the wrong ices and when we opened the carton upon returning home, Half was melted. Bad service and poor quality product. It's a real shame as this used to be put our go to place. read more

Been coming for years, always amazing. The gummy bear swirl is my go to flavor when I come.

Always delicious and perfect on summer nights....and the staff keeps the line moving fast

Ralphs is amazing. They have forty thousand flavors. Every one of them is good. It's not fair. There's no flavor that's just there to mess with people. It's superb. And this specific location is also fantastic. Great service, never too long a line, as it moves quickly. It's just the bees knees, whatever that is. Love it. Don't go anywhere else for ices. They're all second best at best. read more

Ralph's is a summertime staple for our family. We love cherry coke flavor, pina colada, mango, lemon and the classic rainbow - all so refreshing with the right amount of sweetness. We particularly love this location in our neighborhood because the staff here are always so sweet and kind. Wait can get long, especially summer evenings after dinner, but it's well worth it. read more

Ralph's is one of my favorite dessert places in LongIsland. They have amazing ices and soft serves. They have several flavor choices, but my favorite flavor is Birthday Cake. They also have great service. I would totally recommend coming here! read more

Always fantastic. Finally they are reopening their location in Manhattan. Chocolate Fudge Brownie in my option by far the best flavor on the menu. read more

great selection of delicious italian ices... and great service! Pistachio and lemon are a taste of Italy !

the service here was great but i was very confused by the menu. they need to make it clearer to people what is thick ice cream and light ice cream. the mint chocolate crunch has good flavor but tastes freezer burnt. read more

I have always been a fan of this Ralphs location until tonight. My sister and I went to Ralphs tonight, Tuesday June 20th, for the twister Tuesday special. When it was our turn to order, the worker informed us that there were no twister lids. Since we were there for the twister special, we said that was okay. We receive our ice cream and since there were no lids, I held both ice creams in my hands on the way home and unfortunately dropped one. It was completely untouched so I scooped it up and went back to ask for another one. We explained the situation to the worker and she said she would "have to charge us again". Then, she calls over another worker, we explain the situation and she says she will make it again. After making the ice cream she then tells us she will have to "charge us again" because they can't "give out free ices" since it was not "their fault". Frustrated, my sister and I just say fine, pay again and walk away. I will not be back to this location. Bad customer service. If there were lids, the ice cream would not have been dropped in the first place! read more

These people are the best!! They have the nicest staff and very very good ice creams.. All my experiences here have been great except for once wen I orders pistachio ice cream.. It tasted too much and too strongly of essence .!! But still a very good place read more

I hate this place . I got a nutty sundae here . I have suggested not to put any kind of peanut . When I got the sundae , it was full with peanut cream . I tried to ask her . She just replied it's just peanut cream not real peanuts . ‍ what the hell . Never gonna visit read more

Ralph's has surprisingly good soft serve ice cream in addition to their tasty Italian Ices. The main reason I give 4 stars instead of 5 is that their parking lot is SO SMALL and ridiculously tight. The CAP center shares the parking lot and makes it even harder to find a spot on a show night. read more

Owners are pedphiles and ripped me off whilst working for them. I was a highschool school student, innocent and naive. Dont go there. They fired me without warning, after i worked COUNTLESS last minute shifts for them. They also made minors close the store by themselves ,and sometimes on weekdays also which is ILLEGAL... someone please take action. read more

Ralph's in plainview! It feels just like yesterday they opened this up, but I realize it's been quite a few years now. Because they're still fairly new, their prices are a bit higher. Their small is a 2.99 (in Syosset it is $2.75) But it's closeby and the people are amiable. FYI - Parking lot is small and tight read more

I really love this location. The staff is always quick and very helpful. There ices are amazing and they have really nice shakes as well. My favorite is the campfire shake. The parking lot is small but I haven't really had any trouble finding a spot. Great service and great products. read more

I'm usually not a big fan of ice creams or sweets in general, but I have to say... Ralph's Italian ice cream is pretty darn good. They are a seasonal business so unfortunately you cannot get these ice creams all year round. They are super affordable, delicious, and serve many kinds of ice cream as well as many different flavors. Would definitely suggest giving this place a try if you haven't done so already! read more

Best ice in the world. I live Ralph's it's So good. There are so many flavors it's hard for me to Choose sometimes. Love this place good staff and great ices. read more

Great service! The food was definitely an experience, but not your typical ice cream or snow cones.

I waited and waited on line while one of the two girls on duty sat and texted on her phone. Only when she was done texting, did she decide to come over and serve me. I said, "Are you sure you're done texting?". No response. Where are the adults and the managers for this location? This incident took place on Saturday, July 7, 2012 at 11:00 p.m. read more

Although Ralph's product is really amazing as far as taste goes, it should be known that they (the Plainview location) do not accept coupons, even when it clearly says that the Plainview location accepts them. read more

First off, the parking lot is kinda small so proceed with caution. The ices that they serve are phenomenal, absolutely love the wide selection. Always come down a group of friends and they all of love it too. They even have soft serve!! So everyone can enjo read more

I like ralph's but the last two times ive been here the ices don't taste....as good as they should. it may be because it just got to be warmer out but the ices kind of tasted.....well old-ish. They weren't BAD but they weren't as good as during mid summer. The location is convenient. The parking lot gets really busy during the summer. There soft serve has a really good texture! The ralphaccinos are good if they dont over do the milk. My favorite flavor is the spumoni or the rocky road! read more
