Rick's has been up and down over the years, but the owners have increased the quality of their products and invested in expanding the store to include a nice sitting area. The ice cream has always been good, but it seems even better now. Very wide variety of flavors. They now have fudge as well. more

This owner is unwilling to pack any ice cream for customers to bring home. Will only sell what is in the freezer prepacked so if you want a certain flavor and nothing much in the freezer your out of luck. more
