small mango italian ice
Jaina P.

I've always had Rita's Italian Ice but ever since I tried Ralph's I've been back multiple times! So many flavors of italian ice, creme ice, ice cream, etc. My personal favorite is the mango italian ice but I've tried some of their creme ice flavors as well. They're very generous with their servings and decently priced, I always get a small but feel like I ate a large. Such friendly customer service during every visit and the workers are so patient if you're sampling or just being indecisive.

Today I was craving an Italian ice while out with my mom and I had a choice between Ralph's and Rita's. I chose Ralph's and I'm glad I did. I walked in and the menus were overwhelming with all types of flavors. They have regular water ices and creamy ices. My mom and I both got the creamy ice in the Spumoni flavor. For those of you that don't know what Spumoni is, it's that Italian rainbow cookie. We both ordered a small and were served a heaping portion. I couldn't even finish a quarter of mine. That's ok though, now I have a midnight snack :). Anyway, the amount you get for a small is generous and the prices are very reasonable. Also, the staff was very friendly and let us sample whatever flavors we wanted.

Do NOT sleep on Big Dipper Ice Cream! This place blew my mind with the amount of ice cream flavors…read morethey had to offer. I made the mistake of coming here solo and then having to call hubby to read to him alllll the flavors because I couldn't dare do that for him. One flavor sounds better than the next - strawberry cheese cake - what?! Moosetracks? Yeah, i'm gonna need that too! Then they trip you up with toppings! Too many decisions! I'm on vacation! I opted to get two scoops for each of us because no one walks outta here with just one. I got the strawberry cheesecake and moosetracks - a deadly sinful combo, while I got for hubby pistachio and cookies n' cream. We didn't come up for air while eating these! I found these flavors to be far superior to Ship Bottom Ice Cream - yes - I said it! There's a reason why everyone comes here as soon as the sun comes down. It's a great little family establishment with the hardest working teenagers and young adults I've ever seen. Sit on the benches outside or drive back to your beach rental and enjoy while watching the sunset. HUGE fan!

Go here for the best ice-cream on the island and huge generous portions! We've been coming here for…read moreyears and keep coming back despite trying many other ice-cream joints on the island. This is our go to!! I love the coconut icecream with rainbow sprinkles and get it everytime. HUGE Generous portions and toppings!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE that they put sprinkles at the bottom of the cup before your ice-cream is scooped to ensure you get sprinkles in every bite! This is a key differentiator that will bring me back every time!! With this "small size" barely anyone is able to finish it...they say it's two scoops but you know no scoop like the Big Dipper...it does live up to its name! If you ever saw the movie Uncle Buck the best way to describe the portions if you imagine how it was when uncle buck has to "eat and finish the grizzle" for the steak eating competition and it's nearly impossible! I used to get a lid and would save 1/2 in our freezer when we were staying in Harvey cedars but now we are further away so that's no longer an option. TIP: After several years of ordering the "small" (which is anything but small) I noticed they have a "Little Dipper single scoop" option and went this route this time without whipcream or the cherry...which was a smart choice...as it was still a generous portion but I was able to finish it this time! Before, I felt like I was often unable to finish the "small" and felt bad throwing out 1/2 the ice-cream...every time...there's so much wasted. One time I told my son to just give me his mint chip before he threw it out because it's really a big enough portion for two to share. If I was having a birthday on the island I'd like to have an ice-cream cake from here bc Johnny's cakes look like the best ice-cream cakes I've ever seen outside of cold stone creamery. I'm always blown away at the people who order anything other than a small or even the banana splits which offer a ridiculous and obscene amount of dessert. The milk shakes also look amazing if you're into them. The only heads up I'd say is if you have a peanut allergy be careful because I did wind up with a few Reeces pieces in my topping which was actually a nice surprise/accident for me but might not be for everybody esp if you have an allergy. Kids bring your quarters! One other watch out: If you get a blue gum-ball make sure it's the cerulean lighter blue color vs the dark royal blue so you don't get your hopes up about getting a free ice-cream as was the case for us! The staff is always kind even though they have a huge line! No shirt, no shoes is no problem! However the floor is sooo gross and sticky I'd highly recommend wearing footwear!
