Are there healthy options on the kids’ meal? The frozen treats are made on a daily basis with real fruit and no preservatives. In addition there are sugar-free water ices and fat-free custards available. 

How does the restaurant deal with food allergies? Alert the staff and they will steer you towards items you may have. This is the only nut-free Rita's out of all 560 stores. The owner has a severe nut allergy so she made sure her facility was 100 percent nut-free. 

Is there a diaper changing station? No.

How difficult is it to maneuver a stroller through the dining area? Not difficult at all, it's a walk-up store.

Is the restaurant so quiet that any childish outburst will draw attention or is there enough noise that a small cry is likely to go unnoticed? Kids and babies are more than welcome here.
