I grew up less than 10 minutes from GD Ritzy's and I remember my whole family coming here for dinner a lot. While I was visiting Evansville recently, GD Ritzy's was my first pick for food. I guess I have become more picky of what I eat, but my burger wasn't up to par. My burger patty was a bit undercooked and my bun was EXTRA doughy. It was definitely not as good as I remembered...
Review Source:Good food, great atmosphere.
I recommend the chili dogs.. so cheap, and soooo good.
The shakes are yummy, too! I ordered a chocolate shake and had to choose between chocolate chocolate or chocolate vanilla. I went with chocolate vanilla, which is more like your everyday chocolate shake.
There ice cream is also amazing. I had a little of the Banana Supreme or something like that.. it tasted like a frozen, creamy banana pie and even had little pieces of vanilla wafers.
I lived in Evansville for just about 2 years. Thank God I left when I did. Otherwise by now I'd be on my way to a stint on one of those shows where they have to cut down your wall to get to you and climb over piles  of GD Ritzy's bags to get you out with a forklift.
This place is SO good. From the minute you walk inside, you're reminded  of that little greasy food/ice cream shack/drive in most of us frequented as kids.
The fries: thin, crispy heaven.
The burgers: drive-in great. Nothing gourmet here folks - greasy, melty and with super fresh toppings.
The staff: mostly high-school kids but they are very disciplined. They wear the little paper hats and everything!
The PB & J!: Crazy good. They use thick bread, chopped peanuts and sliced strawberries! Perfect combination and great for the kiddos.
The ice cream: home-made and pretty good but not the best I've had. (Sconnie bias)
I have no idea how McDonald's and Burger King stay in business in E-Ville with a place like this around. YUM!!
Definitely the best fast food I have ever had. Â And it's local!!! Â Best salads, best burgers and fries. Â The ice cream is homemade and by far the best in town. Â Nothing comes close. Â The Chocolate is a rich, cocoa chocolate. Â The Butter Pecan Cashew is amazing! Â The Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough is highly addictive. Â I have never had anything subpar from Ritzy's. Â All the hot food is always fresh and hot and the salads are always crisp and fresh with the best croutons I have ever had in my life. Â It doesn't get any better than this. Â Buy local!
Review Source:While just a burger and fry joint, we all know Ritzy's has a lot of something extra going on. I've been eating here since I was a baby and will continue to eat here! I love the #1 (cheeseburger, shoestring fries, drink).......I love the hot dogs, the salads are delicious, and I love love love the chili which with the 7 different ways can be customized for you!
The ice cream is yum yum yum--famous chocolate, mint chocolate chunk, peppermint, butter pecan, oreo--mmmmmmm....and get a sundae or milkshake! And if you get chocolate, it can be vanilla-chocolate or chocolate-chocolate (def. go choc-choc)
