"A Sweet and Smoky Delight I recently visited Richie's Ice Cream and Barbecue Shop and was completely blown away. The combination of savory, smoky barbecue and rich, creamy ice cream might sound a little strange, but trust me, it works! The hamburger was tender and flavorful, with just the right amount of smoky char. But the real star of the show was the ice cream. The flavors were bold and authentic, and you could tell they use high-quality ingredients. The service was friendly and fast, and the atmosphere was laid-back and welcoming. Whether you're in the mood for a hearty barbecue feast or a delicious scoop of ice cream, Richie's has you covered. I can't wait to go back and try more of their menu!"

"Ritchies is a favourite summer spot in Norwich. They offer a great selection of Shaw’s Ice Cream (the best!). It’s a simple, easy spot to grab lunch, dinner, or a cool treat on a hot day. It’s always busy in the summer, but it's nice to see everyone out enjoying it."

"First visit. I travel to alot of places for lunch. Prices are reasonable. My food was fresh and tasty. Simple hamburger and fries. Fries were very crispy, which I like. Burger had standard toppings, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle. The burger had a nice charbroiled flavour and the sesame seed bun was fresh and stayed together. I was a bit concerned about the negative reviews that I had read but my experience was very positive. I will return and try something else next time. The staff was attentive and friendly."

"We frequently stop here for ice cream in the summer. Lots of great flavours to choose from! The fries are great, too. A bit overpriced in my opinion, and often it's very busy with a bit of a longer wait time... BUT that just goes to show how popular this place is. It hasn't stopped us from choosing Ritchies time and time again!"
