Wow, what a menu! Worth the wait i was wondering why the lines was so long then with the first bite…read morei knew. There are levels to this place, sizes perfect, cost reasonable and taste scrumptious. One of the best snowcones I've had. Flavor + fun=a fantastic place.

The worst experience ever. I will never go back. We were headed back home, out of state, and heard…read moregood stuff about this place so my family decided to stop. Well they gave my 16 year old sister a flimsy tray to hold two snow cones and a frito pie, inevitably, she's a klutz so she dropped my snowcone. She went to the window and spoke to the woman and told her what happened and the owner said, "give me a minute." Yes, their line stretched to the street and they were busy but we assumed she'd give us a replacement as she SAW the snowcone on the ground... NO. The owner and window worker told us we had to buy another. You charge $2.25 for a medium that literally take less than .50 to make and for the sake of customer service you couldn't make another?!!? I was very kind and the worker lashed out saying, "you know how many people dropped their snowcones from the tray? I would be broke if I made everyone a new one!!" Well maybe you need a new style of TRAY?! I thought, but for the sake of not causing a commotion We left. I was more hurt at the fact that I know she looked at the color of my skin and felt that she didn't need to exemplify great customer service and then began to act as if us asking for another was a crime. If I would've been of a different complexion, she definitely wouldn't have treated me with disrespect and would've kindly advised that's she'd make another. But that's fine. We will never Be back. They're are money hungry and racist. Which yes, that is a big statement to make, but I really felt discriminated upon the way she lashed out at me. It was the principle!!!

One thing that is certain is Rita's is consistent, wherever you go (at least for me, thus far)…read more We came early afternoon after spending some time at the beach. The service was quick and friendly. Most importantly our italian ice was tasty! (Come on good and faithful mango and good and faithful strawberry). If you haven't experienced Rita's, the best time would be after being in the heat, yummmmm!

I haven't been exposed to much Italian ice in my life, and when people describe it like shaved ice…read morei just never feel in the mood. That being said, I feel like the consistency of the Italian ice at Rita's is almost a mix between shaved ice and gelato/icy sherbet, and Im for it This spot is in a prime location right across from the beach at Galveston. On a nice sunny day walk on over to Rita's for a cool, refreshing, and delicious treat The interior is clean. It did have an older almost diner vibe. Or maybe more like like a beachy Dairy Queen, but more vibrant, and not depressing. There's both interior and exterior seating to choose from Their core competencies are Italian ice and custard, and there's plenty of varieties of both. They have a menu, and there's also plenty of offerings advertised on the walls of the interior The staff were friendly, the service was quick and solid. I also think their offerings are fairly affordable Some tips: There isn't much in the way of parking, but we snagged a spot near Doc Holidays (next door). I would recommend the Gelati as it's a combination of custard and Italian ice. There's both sugars at the bottom and top. We got the mango gelati, and it was the perfect blend of creamy sweet with refreshing mango. As I mentioned, the beach is just across the way, so, take your treat to go and walk along the beach. But eat quick before it melts! Cheers!!
