Ok.. so.. I see all the Yelp 4 and 5 star reviews. I'm out in sunny Arizona visiting from Wisconsin and have a hankering for Custard. I find Rita's on yelp.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE HERE.
This is NOT custard. Or at least this isn't custard the way frozen custard should taste. I mean good God people. At least go to Culvers and try some mediocre to decent custard before you say how good this is.
Custard - Vanilla is the key test for good custard.
Ritas Vanilla custard.. I can't even figure out of there are eggs OR actual milk/cream in this. Let alone real vanilla. Taste like a giant vat of chemicals. Left an almost metallic aftertaste in my mouth with zero hint of vanilla or eggs/cream/milk. I actually ate about 1/3 of the bowl and threw the rest away. I simply could not eat it.
It's entirely possible the italian ice is better but after eating this, I really don't even want to try it.
Do yourself a favor and go to DQ.
Note - My brother-in-law from Minnesota who is a frozen custard freak to end all frozen custard freaks agreed with me 100%. He threw his away before I did
