    Fruit pebble shakes

    Drunk cops were allowed to cut the line and were allowed to cut my pregnant wife, so that sucked. Very large selection very good product kind and friendly workers well worth the trip great Italian Ice. My favorite place to go for dessert. Been going since I was a kid living in staten Island. The ices are still just as good. So much better than Rita's and strollo. Attendants are always friendly and helpful. Always a wonderful variety of flavors. My favorite is spumoni. Very good water ice and cream ice. We each enjoyed our choices. Even the sugar free ice was good. Refreshing on a hot summers day. Will go back for sure! The ONE reason I can't rate it 5 stars is because a bunch of NYPD officers cut us in line while it was raining out. When we started asking them just what the hell they thought they were doing, they were clearly drunk but pretended that they didn't see us and apologized. ...and still didn't move. My wife was pregnant at the time, so I really was stunned that a group of police officers felt it necessary to flex power like that over...ice cream? Anyways, I mentioned it to the store manager but they said basically they are longtime customers and didn't really have an answer. I will never forgive those cops for purposely cutting the line while drunks from Denino's while my wife was pregnant in the rain.

    Staff at this location are super friendly and work well under pressure with the many folks that stop by after school and work (please be kind to them! They're doing their best ) I like anything peanut butter so I got their peanut butter creme ice in medium. Remember: Cash only

    This is probably my favorite place for ice's and ice cream. The hot fudge brownie sundae is hands down one of the best I've ever had. Parking is easily accessible as they have a lot, and they move the line pretty quick when it's long. Cash only and no cards.

    Spumoni

    Best spumoni ever. Living on this Staten Island for 22 years and today finally took the plunge and went to Ralph's Ices. Say no more, I am hooked. Happiness in a cup. Stellar.

Sauce was no bargain.  Even though the chicken souvlaki platter was offered online it was not on the menu inside, but they made it anyhow.  The seasoning on the chicken was so flavorful, really delish.  The sole was a nice portion and tasty...because it was swimming in butter, just fyi.   Gabby, and Elizabeth who was very new, were our severs. Not as attentive as I expect, but both were super friendly.   The not so good. I was asked if I wanted soup or salad, so I opted for salad.  Then when my entrée arrived it also had a salad.  Had I been told, I would have opted for a vegetable or soup, not 2 salads!!  All of the dishes came out at the same time. Our entrees came out mere minutes after our app.  The restaurant has to be loudest I ever been to. Horrible acoustics. I was looking forward to dessert, and I tasted a few flavors but they didn't do it for me. Def not enough mix ins. Pistachio flavor was lacking.  Honestly, most flavors looked like they were melting, so unappetizing (see pic). Passed on dessert!

I came here recently for my free birthday scoop. The girl who helped me was super nice. She let me try a few flavors and when I couldn't decide, she offered to do half and half for me. She packed the ice cream nicely with a lid in a paper bag so I wasn't forced to rush through eating it as it melted. Then she wished me a good night and a happy birthday. My husband was waiting for me outside in the car and as soon as I climbed in I exclaimed, "wow, she was so nice!" What an amazingly pleasant experience! This will be my go-to BR in Long Island!

Not only was she helpful with that but she did a great job on the cake and refunded me five dollars for the price difference. On top of that Danielle also contacted me the following day to make sure the guys working when I picked up the cake did a good job and gave me the difference in price back. Great great customer service!!! I will deff be returning to this location.

Another favorite that is on the regular rotation is the triple chocolate cookie. I like the contrast of the white chocolate chips to the dark chocolate dough. S'mores is my brother-in-law's favorite. It is a good merge of a cookie and the campfire treat. They also make special cookies that run for a limited time. Rainbow cookie and croissant cookie were some of the memorable ones. The promotions they have are really good. For Halloween they gave out Lil' chip cookies to anyone in costume. The Lil' chip seems to be about 3/4 the size of a full sized cookie. You also get a free cookie on your birthday when signing up for their loyalty program. I usually take advantage of the uber eats BOGO offer or the BOGO off on the chip city app (usually Wednesdays).
