The best place for slush (or even ice cream and food)! The entire staff is always welcoming and kind!

Love Richie's slush. You can just pullover on the highway and go right into the Ritchie's Large watermelon slush. That's my favorite.

I fall in love with the banana ice cream, nice place and good attendence and I love the mangonada too, so delicious! read more

Richie's Classic Italian Slush - Mangonada - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Everett, Massachusetts

Richie's Classic Italian Slush is wicked bellisimo. The prices are reasonable and staff is nice and they have many flavs and some off-beat ones too. I opted for two smalls -the ruby red grapefruit and the cotton candy. Both were pissah tasting and oh-so velvety. I wanna try their new junk food items like the chicken tenders and stuff. I'll be back! Caveat: Careful pah-king your kah on this mental street. read more

I This review is a compilation of my last four visits during June, July and August, but primarily on the outstanding service I received in early August. First an overall. For the first time since 1983, they have food! And what food! Their Steak & Cheese is so outstanding I can't stay away from it! I've had it three times already. The have, not the best necessarily, but very good burgers that are tasty without too much fat and zero "gristle". Their ice cream and slush speak for themselves and are just outstanding. Their slush simply the best you'll find anywhere. Now on to my experience of what great customer service is supposed to be. About a month ago in early August I stopped on my way home. I really wanted an ice cream or maybe a Sundae, but I was also thirsty. I was scanning the monitor menu for an ice cream soda and i was frankly surprised that it wasn't listed. After all, its a New England staple at every ice cream parlor around here. Just then a very nice lady, who I think was perhaps the shift supervisor, asked if I was looking for something. I asked about the ice cream soda. She didn't know what they were [enter shocked expression on my face here]. She said if I could tell her what they were and how they're made, she'd be happy to make one for me. Now THAT is customer service. Anyway, I told her step by step how to make one. They didn't have any cream, only milk, but that would work just fine for me. I have to tell you all that this wonderful lady made one of the very best ice cream sodas I've ever had! It was just delicious. I think what made it (besides my awesome instructions!) was the quality products they use plus the care she took to make just what I was craving. My wife wanted the passion fruit chocolate chunk ice cream. She absolutely loved it. The flavor was just out of this world delicious. The chocolate chunks were huge and made with quality chocolate, not cheap crap type you often see in some places and particularly in many store-bought brands. Thank you, kind lady! If you're craving ice cream, slush or comfort food, this is the place to go. Welcome back, Richie's! read more

I don't understand how it's possible, but this slush is as tasty and smooth as ice cream. What's in it? It's a closely guarded secret. But I've never tasted anything like this. All flavors are bangers, but I really like the cherry. Or, try a mix--lemon with a little cherry on top? Perfection. read more

I grew up on this slush and was so excited to find this place. When I was young we always went out for Richie's Slush, there used to be a stand pretty close to our house. Since then I've been able to find the slush, but not the flavor selection, especially banana which is my Dad's favorite. A big smile appeared on my face when I found the original location and it still had banana. We made a trip there part of our father's day celebration this year and my dad was thrilled to have banana slush again! I went with mango pineapple, which was delicious and I highly recommend trying it! read more

Cannot wait until April 1 2017 for opening day Of Richies retail store at 2084 Revere Beach Pkwy Everett Ma 02149 nothing like a fresh refreshing Richies slush wish they would stay open year round read more

The recent heat wave we had our office AC cold not keep up. So for our staff meeting, we went down and got a gallon bucket of watermelon slush which as very cool and refreshing. I liked the big straw with scoop end! Fun! read more

Why didn't I think to review this sooner? During the summer this was mine and my boyfriends place to go! Mango slush is by far my ABSOLUTE favorite, with Pear not far behind. One day my boyfriend asked if I wanted to go get slush, .. and I gave him the confused puppy dog look. Tilted my head to the side and was like, huh? Whats slush? He was like, you know, Slush Puppies, well its sort of like that. So we went to Richie's slush probably the day after they opened for Summer 2008, and I gave it a whirl and to be surprised, this has become my favorite little treat!!! I can't eat ice cream (I'm lactose), but who cares, I don't care about ice cream anymore, I'm in love with Richie!!!! Always new special flavors to try, and I do try them. I ALWAYS get half Mango and half the new flavor, just in case I don't like it, I still get my Mango fix to satisfy me. It's just so cold, smooth and refreshing on a hot summers day, or night. Hehe. My boyfriend is all about the Cherry and Lemon flavors. Different places that serve Richie's slush give you different amounts of slush for different prices. Your better off sticking to the real Richie's to get your money's worth. The girls PACK the slush into those little paper cups, god I love those girls. Oh Richie, I miss you and I wait for the day you reopen! read more

I couldn't live in a world without Richie's Slush. I have traveled near and far and there isn't anything as good as Richie's. There are those who try and those who mock but no one beats Richie's, they can't even come close. The flavors, the textures, the way that each mouthful quenches my thirst. Don't ever leave me. read more

The best place to buy Slush for your next party. They sell it by the gallons. You call and place your order and your party will be cool and refreshing. Adults can spike there's and the kids can have their own. Just don't mix them up. :-} read more

This place has been a staple since you were a kid, if you're from greater Boston. Has not changed; except, pricey for flavored, sugared, ice. The best selection in Italian Ice and still as delicious as you remember. What are you waiting for!? RUN! GO! Enjoy! And bring back memories of your childhood! read more

Started going to this place when I moved to the area sever years ago. Also I work around the corner so it's really convenient in terms of location. Slush variety is great, there are so many flavors, you really cannot go wrong. They also have a great variety of ice cream and frozen yogurt flavors, which is what I actually prefer over slush. The down side is the parking, or lack thereof. It gets really really messy and congested because it is right next to two major intersections. read more

The slush is delicious. There's no getting around that. Whoever is making the decisions over there needs to get out of their own way. Let's go down the list: - This place used to be a tiny concrete box that I'm assuming just printed money. It was usually staffed by 2 or 3 high school girls like any ice cream place and ran like clockwork. Last year they decided to close and renovate in the middle of the summer (A+ business decision for sure). Now it's a slightly larger concrete box with a giant gaudy LED sign staffed by about 10 people that can't get an order out in under 15 minutes - Post renovation you now have new menu items including summer time favorites like salami stuffed fried dough, and cheeseburger spring rolls. Grab a beach towel, your shades and go cool off with a refreshing pork cutlet sub. - There's almost never such a thing as too much when you're talking portions right? Yeah... unless we're talking food that starts a race against time the second you expose it to air. The medium slush is enormous and stands no chance in even mild summer weather as soon as you walk away from the counter. I'm 190 lbs. I can eat all day. And I was sick to my stomach after trying to keep pace with a medium rainbow USA. - There are also no napkins in sight for wiping blue sugar water off your hands from your slush puddle. Maybe I'm wrong and blotting your skin with provolone from a stuffed fried dough is the way to go here. - They finally added a couple benches to sit and relax with your slush 5 feet from route 16. For your convenience they've also included a trash can right on top of you so a swarm of hornets fighting over the slurry remains in the trash can keep you company while you eat. read more

Great slush! This place offers a great variety and the price is decent. I'd recommend getting the quart and sharing it between 2-3 people. They will even give you extra cups that you can use to split it with. Was on vacation to Boston for a week and ended up going here twice it was so good! Wish we had Italian Ice places here in Utah. read more

Truly, the best slush ever. They get the texture right. The only thing I've ever had come close was a fruit ice on Capri. Blue vanilla has been my flavor since childhood, but last time I was there I went for pear: delish. read more

Love this place omg it's so good!!! My favorites are Pina Colada and Lemon. If you have not tried it you're missing out.

I was able to place an order in November and have it shipped to a friend in New Jersey. She grew up in Everette and hadn't had Richie's lemon slush since she was a kid. The look on her face when she got the package (shipped in dry ice) was priceless. The look on her face when she finally got to taste some was even better if you can believe it. I had some for the first time; it was delicious. The lemon flavor really stood out, just the way I like it. It was not "watered" down. Last month when I was visiting my daughter's family in West Medford, I found that the ice cream shop up the street from her on High Street served all the flavors of Richie's Slush. I bought some and treated everyone. It was a big hit. read more

seriously, the best slush ever. i've bought it by the gallon and had it finished after a party. i've never heard of anyone not liking this stuff. every flavor is awesome. read more

It is literally impossible to find slush anywhere near as delicious, healthy, creamy & flavorful! Hands down it gets 5 stars!

My mother grew up in the apartment building right above Richie's and would serve people slushwho were waiting in their car. My mom talks about these times fondly... Richie's truely is an institution. In my travels I was EXTREMELY surprised to learn that slush isnt everywhere in the USA! People asked if it was like snow cones and etc. There is something like Richies slush in Baltimore but they have a different name for it. Richie's slush is not only an Everett tradition but a Boston tradition and THE best summer treat there is. PERIOD! read more

The best slush in the world. I might be biased, seeing as how it's made practically in my backyard, but I don't care. I've tried others, but they just don't compare. Blue vanilla, lemon, watermelon, even lime... I love them all! read more

Who doesn't love slush?? With all the who-ha about Berryline, BoYo, Red Mango, and all those other fro-yo spots popping all over the place ...slush remains largely overlooked and underrated. C'mon...sometimes you just can't beat a Richie's...esp. on a really hot day. Yum! Me loves me slush! read more

Best slush you will EVER have. It's all so good, every flavor is different from the other, and everyone has their favorite. I'm partial to lemon. You don't even have to go to Everett anymore to get this stuff though it's part of the "experience," which is pretty much for me mainly nostalgia of when I was little. I know Touretta's Bakery sells it, but I'm not sure where else they do. Seriously, go get Richie's slush! read more

Loved Richie's Italian Ice growing up. I would always get them at a nearby convenience store. I work nearby so when I passed by and found this place, I thought I was in heaven! They have so many different flavors and sizes to choose from! Took my siblings here and they loved it! Parking however can be a little dangerous: parking is literally in front; 15 minutes parking. But I'm warning you, it's DANGEROUS! I didn't even know there were parking there cause there's no line indicating so, but there's a sign. If you can find parking along the more quiet street areas, park there and walk out. It's a lot safer especially if you're bringing kids. read more

Richie's Classic Italian Slush - Small Margarita - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Everett, Massachusetts

The ultimate in slush. Richies is truely the King. I've been going here since I was a child and remember Richie himself working the counter then his kids. My dad told me once that Richie spent time in a Japanese POW camp in WWII. Not sure if that was true but it certainly added an air of mystery to the man and made visits all the more interesting. I've tried many flavors but lemon will always be my favorite. If you like slush you must make a "pilgrimage" to Richies in Everett. Be careful, the parking can be a real nightmare because it is right on the parkway and cars wizz by at alarming rates of speed. read more

We saw this on they way to the airport and impulsively stopped. Joe had a mango slush, and I had an Oreo and black raspberry ice cream. OMG!!!! this is fantastic stuff!! It was the best Oreo ice cream I EVER tasted with lots of crushed up Oreos. The mango slush was excellent too. The ice cream is truly creamy with nice mouth feel and not overly sugared. I was afraid to try the slush because I was thinking it was going to be a nasty sugar water concoction like from 7-11, boy was I wrong! I can't really describe it beyond that it was perfect. It stayed frozen for a long time too. This is going to be a stop on all my Boston trips from now on. read more

The Only brand of slush I will eat! And their ice cream is awesome as well. The only think that sucks is not too much parking but you can usually grab a spot right in front. Love that you can get pints and quarts! read more

I love this place!! The ice cream never disappoints, I've been going there for years and it's always amazing. I would recommend this place to anyone, I love the variety for the ice cream flavors !! read more

Don't get to the original place to often but its awesome!!! I always search out places that sell this stuff in the areas that I live in. Just found a pizza place in Saugus that has the tubs, like this better than the pre-packed ones. Best italian ice ever!!! Never go back to a slush puppy, nasty :) read more

The lemon slush is bomb! And the watermelon is perfect too! Thats right its as good as it gets!

I have been going to Richie's since I was a kid. It has always been a summer favorite stop for a special treat. Parking is always a gamble, if you can safely get a spot out front in the rush of traffic. The upgrades to the storefront this year look great and make ordering more efficient- ordering at the first window, picking up at the second. The ice cream is great quality, but you go to Richie's for the slush. My signature flavor has always been Watermelon. But in the past couple of years (while I heard there have been some behind-the-scenes changes at RS) the Watermelon has not tasted the same to me. Starting with the individual cups sold in the supermarket, I thought the flavor tasted off, kind of like bubblegum- thinking it might just be the pre-packaged I went for my first outdoor slush of the season and I sadly thought the same. There is nothing wrong or different (texturally or otherwise) with the slush itself, my beloved flavor is just no longer the same and I will have to find a new favorite. Will still be going to Richie's though. read more

We've worked together for years using a cart for our senior field day. Christina was very professional, timely, and helpful. Delivery was on time and the slush was delicious and a huge hit. Thanks! read more

Oh how I miss Richie's Slush. The perfect cool down treat on a hot summer day. This is not ordinary slush... the texture is so smooth, it is almost creamy. My favorites are watermelon, blue vanilla and lime. SOOO good. read more

Sorry to be the one to break the five star streak that this place has had so far, but in all honesty, I wasn't terribly impressed. The slush isn't bad, but it isn't what I expected, given the glorious compliments that I hear from others about it. Granted, it's better than the slush you get from the ice cream truck man, but it's still a little artificial-tasting to me. I much prefer Rita's Ices, but unfortunately, the closest Rita's is about an hour away from Boston. read more

It's good, but if you want to taste real Italian Ice (not slush) with true ingredients try Little Jimmy's Italian ice, but good luck finding it in this area. read more
