Ritter’s Frozen Custard

Ritter's Frozen Custard makes its custard in small batches throughout the day, using dairy and a touch of egg yolk for a dense, smooth texture that is less airy than most ice cream. The menu runs from classic vanilla and chocolate to fruit, nut and specialty flavors, served in cones, dishes and waffle bowls, as signature sundaes, Glaciers, shakes and floats. Italian ice, cakes and pies are also on the menu.

The Brighton shop is part of a chain that started in Franklin, Indiana, in 1989 and now has locations across the Midwest and in Florida, Georgia and Texas. Flavors vary by location, so the flavor of the day and the full list can differ from shop to shop. Orders can be placed online, and catering is also offered. The company describes its shops as family-friendly, a place for after-school stops and weekend outings.
