There are a lot of options here, and it’s open really late. Until 10pm every night. The custard was very good, and the Italian ice is very refreshing. The line was SO long for no reason but also went by super quick. The reason for 4 stars is because the customer service is not exactly the best. I know it’s just a Rita’s, but I’ve also never been here and it was so confusing with all their options (bc they have a bunch of choices that are so similar to each other) and the woman taking our order didn’t really seem to care much to explain.

We got cake batter custard and OMG it was to die for!! The staff was super friendly and attentive to up right away. Love this specific franchise. The owner is there frequently working and she is super nice!! Check this one out of you're near by.

Always a nice cold treat with plenty of flavors and various consistencies to choose from. You can add candy toppings too. The sugar free flavor tonight was dragon fruit. Vanilla custard is smooth and delicious.

Always a great experience at Rita's in Lehighton. I used to manage the walnutport Rita's years ago when Karen was still the owner so I know how to tell if the custard machines are cleaned like they should be and as often as they're supposed to be cleaned. That being said you can tell Lehighton Rita's does what they're supposed to do, because the custard is always fresh and tastes amazing! I highly recommend! I'd even love to work for Rita's again!

Love Rita's! The girl who waited on us made my gelati perfect when I asked for extra custard! Delicious! Never skimpy servings either, this location is preferred over any other in the area! Quick service and many options, clean and changes flavor options often

We've been to 3 different Rita's in the last 3 weeks and by far this one is the best They have the most variety of items than any other.Also had soft pretzels which are excellent plus they also have a dish of custard for our dog complete with biscuits. Sooo cute. Enjoyed it very much.Will miss it when it closes for the winter.

Its always crazy busy, but they move the line fast and are always friendly. Also, the fact they have pup cups keeps us coming back.

Delicious but only seasonal. Really kinda wish it was year-round. Pretty inexpensive and you can't get custard like that anywhere else that I'm aware; and I've been around the country. The Italian style ice is good too.

Love it here... I just wish that I didn't always get hooked on flavors that weren't a regular stock.. really want Black cherry again😉😉... 😆But can't say anything bad about it here. Always friendly and helpful.

Place would get 5 stars but the gelatis are what’s keeping it from it your paying 5 dollars for ice there is hardly any custard in these used to be loaded now there’s hardly ever any

Always consistently great. There's sometimes a line to wait in for good reason. 👍

This is a typical Rita's. The location is less than ideal. Making a left out of the parking lot can be pretty difficult at certain times of the day. There also aren't a lot of of places to sit or congregate. But if that doesn't deter you, you'll probably enjoy yourself.

It is ritas. Wish they would post the flavors every day. Takes what 30 seconds to snap a photo and post it on FB? They do not even update their franchise made page w flavors.

This store is not diabetic friendly. Advertises sugar free but they never have any. I am through going there.

They give my dog a small cup of custard with a dog bone in it. He loves it so much I take him once a week.
