Bahama Bucks

So, snow cone was AMAZING. Texture was awesome, so smooth! I ordered rainbow, and it came exactly how it was supposed to, topped with an umbrella and all! My only wish was that the blue coloring in the rainbow was blue raspberry, not blue coconut.

Man what’s not to love about bahama bucks? This one is in a great location, although we did have to park and walk a little ways it was nothing to complain about. The inside seemed almost nicer and more dressed up than the other two I’ve been to, and the manager and girl behind the counter were really nice.
My husband got way more ice cream than sno cone and asked the manager and he was happy to give him a little more shaved ice and informed him that he can tell them next time exactly how he wants it.
I love the many flavors at BB, and I love the cream that you can get on top. Boy are these refreshing on a warm day. I grew up on aunt Stella’s and have to say that I actually like this one better. Blasphemy I know, but a girls heart wants what it wants.

The first time I had bahama Bucks it was on the day they were free in Wichita Falls, tx. I didn’t know we had this location here in Fort Worth but this one is in the Montgomery plaza!
You can sample these cones, you can even mix and match. They even let you sample the shaved ice and it’s not that bad price wise either! You can get a fruit cup of you’re not into the shaved ice. BUT the shaved ice is so unique you just have to try it. They offer sugar free crème and sugar free flavors!
Customer service wise there are a lot of teenagers here but they actually do their job and they are really nice and friendly. They let you sample all these great flavors so make sure you do before you make that choice because there’s so many to try!

You can never say no to snow cones! lovely location and nice outside sitting area! Many many flavors to choose from!

1^st time here it was GREAT! The server messed up my order and still offered to give me a coupon for a free one on the next visit (he did ask if I wanted it remade I declined. Wasn’t that serious lol I asked for a Jamaican rum and he made Jamaican punch… I’m not that picky as to me they seemed similar) anywho of course I will be back! And even with the messed up order that flavor was great I was pleased.

We like the sno cones here but the store is not maintained well. Smelled bad, bees everywhere (inside and out) and the patio is a sticky mess. Not a good experience today… Emailed a complaint through the corporate website but won’t be going back until there are some major changes in how this store is run.

Ok so I was born in Lubbock Texas and was really excited when I heard about this place. Took the family and was shocked at the prices !! My grandmother (also from Lubbock) used to make these from her house she would ask for a quarter but if you didn’t have it she would let you slide. Anyhow I am guessing this a Lubbock thing but I must admit it was very good I got the one with ice cream! Very good just next time I will ask for light syrup. I’m sure my grandmother would approve God rest her soul!

Delicious, flavorful, and perfect in this hot Texas summer heat. They have an array of flavors that will make you think twice… My favorite is always red raspberry with crème on top!

When we moved downtown we left behind our favorite snow cone stand in the suburbs. Much sadness. Tonight we went in search of an urban replacement and found Bahama Bucks. Although anything to do with Montgomery Plaza is a bit of a pain, it was worth venturing into the yuppie zone that is West 7^th.
I took the suggestion of others and went with half Sugar Cookie and half Birthday Cake — hubby went with the Rootbeer Float. We were both very pleased. They pack the snow-​like fluff nice and tight and use plenty of flavoring so every bite was sugary goodness. YUM! We will be back (probably every week throughout the summer!).

Another wonderful summer treat spot. If you’re looking for something a little lighter than ice cream but still satisfying, then Bahama Bucks is the place. So many different flavors, so little time. I especially love that they offer sugar free flavors AND sugar free crème (I usually request extra crème)!! The prices are good as well!
The staff has always been friendly and accommodating, even during prime time. I also appreciate the umbrellas in every order.

I am not a passionate snow cone eater. I will enjoy one on an occasion but prefer other desserts or treats. I had a pleasant experience with Bahama Buck’s. The shaved ice as opposed to the ground up ice cubes was a delightful treat to the mouth. I ordered the ice cream to the bottom (which substantially increased the price). I had the cappuccino with chocolate Blue Bell ice cream at the bottom. Watching them make the dish, you say «no way will they get all of that ice in the cup». They work at packing it, adding sauce, packing it, adding more and more until it is a work of art. I assume this concoction can be nothing more than colored water, sugar and artificial flavoring. Never the less, it was tasty and I consumed it in its entirety in one sitting. Kids around us seemed totally enthralled with their syrupy frozen sugar buzzes. I would go back and do it all over again. They have inside and outside seating.

This is a nice indoor location compared to the others. I enjoy coming here especially during the summer when craving for a cold shaved ice. Since they have so many options on their menu, I like to customize my order. One of my new favorite order is a strawberry daiquiri with peach flavor and cream… a must try!

Love it! The ice is truly unique, there was PLENTY of flavoring in my snow cone, it was HUGE (at any size), they have a very wide variety of flavors and the attendants are SO nice! I love that you can buy a party pack, the dining area is clean, they serve soda and water, and you can also sit outside!

I’m a sucker for snow cones. It could be 10 degrees out and I’d still want one. I’ve been to this location many times and I love love love it. The staff is never that great to be honest. But you only have to spend like 4 minutes interacting with them so it’s whatever.
But holy cow, the amount of options they have… I usually get either sugar cookie, birthday cake, wedding cake, banana, white coconut or bubble gum. Yummmmmy.
I should also mention — if you can’t eat a lot then the «baby» option is more than enough! I wish they had one smaller than that because it’s still too much for me. I have no idea how anybody can finish the bigger sizes!

Very well made snow/​cream cones. The servings are huge so for kids we recommend the baby cup sizes. There are hundreds of combinations in regards to flavor. My youngest opts out of the cream but it is very creamy and not too sweet. My only complaint is the outside seating, they could use more tables and chairs other than two.

I feel like snow cones are meant to be fun, inexpensive, quick treats. Granted, these are shaved ice cones, I’m not sure I’m okay with paying more than $ 2.50 for syrupy ice. My son got a baby sized shaved ice with cherry coke syrup and I ordered a small island mocha just because it sounded good. Between the both of us, I spent about $ 8. My little guy seemed to enjoy his shaved ice, but he did throw it away before even getting to the cup and immediately asked for some froyo at Yogurtland across the way. The island mocha was sweeter than a frappuccino you get at Starbucks; I absolutely could not drink it. It also takes longer to make shaved ice at Bahama Bucks than it does to whip up a tall caramel mocha flan latte cappuccino frappuccino at Starbucks. It’s a cute little joint and they have a neat idea with the board games for your play while enjoying your super sweet treats, but we couldn’t get passed the sticky syrup on the boxes … no fun.
We will definitely stick with Yogurtland for our cold treats in this little shopping center. $ 8 will get me three cups of yummy yogurt and gummy bear toppings: P

I wanted to try this place out based on my daughters recommendation. The shaved ice is one of the best I have had. I ordered the banana coconut shaved ice with a scoop of vanilla ice cream at the bottom of the cone, and topped with whipped cream. It was very delicious and the ice was thin. Very good and I will be back here. The location is in the trendy Montgomery Plaza on 7^th St. The place is very nice and they have tables inside and outside on the patio. If you crave shaved ice no matter what time of year, then look no further than this place.

i was born and raised in Hawaii, a humid, tropical paradise, and so i’ve had my fair share of shaved ice/​snow cones/​whatever people call them in whatever part of the country you live. I’ve had fond memories of patronizing a couple venerable places that made amazing-​tasting shave ice (with numerous syrups made from scratch) with ice cream and red bean for really cheap. Though the lines were long, they tended to move fast, and you got your shave ice really quickly, too.
Though «delicious» is an adjective I would use to describe Bahama Buck’s, «cheap» and «quick» are words I would not. They have so many flavors – close to 90 me thinks – and though I haven’t tried all, the ones I have tried are true and tasty.
Yet, before visiting Bahama Buck’s I had never waited close to ten minutes for a snow cone/​shave ice, nor had I ever paid over five dollars for one – after all, it’s a snow cone. Maybe it’s because the place is relatively new, so the service takes a little long, but it’s still kind of a bother, especially since slow service becomes all the more noticeable when more and more customers fill up the store, and the line to order and those waiting for their orders kind of get confusingly mixed in together.
I suppose if you’ve never had many a snow cone, or if you’re just used to Bahama Buck’s and places similar to it, the length of time to get it and the price won’t be a big deal. It’s tasty, no doubt.

Several of my friends have been raving about how amazing Bahama Buck’s is, and how it’s the best snow cone I will ever taste. My boyfriend ordered the Orange Dreamsicle with ice cream on the bottom and it was delicious. I somewhat regretted not getting one for myself (and he got quite irritated when I kept mooching). But wow, the texture was as close as you can get to real fine snow. The ice just melts in your mouth immediately.
I have to admit the line is incredibly long (out the door during peak hours). And since it’s so busy, the customer service wavers. The cashier highly recommended the ice cream on the bottom, but I would’ve preferred no ice cream. The ice itself is what you’re craving, trust me. I loved how there was a huge variety of flavors, literally any flavor you’re craving they have. I even saw a Pickle Juice flavor and a sour flavors category as well. There’s also a ton of toppings to put on your snow cone. Dark chocolate, caramel, chili and lime salt, etc. On top of this stuff, they provide Thin Ice flavors, which are your «lighter» options with no sugar (haven’t tried them though).
And if that isn’t good enough for you, there’s even smoothies and Bahama sodas! I’ll need to come back and try everything because there’s just so many options. I also have to add that you can see them hand making your snow cone as you wait. I think it’s great that they leave everything out so you can see the cleanliness and exactly what’s going into your snow cone when it’s being made.
Overall, it’s a really great place with tons of variety. This is the first chain snow cone location that I have visited, and I had a great experience. Will be coming back soon! A must try for anyone in the area.

I feel like there has been a explosion of frozen treat stores popping up all over funky town! Bahama Buck’s has shaved ice, but they also some other tasty treats. You can get a fruit cup with strawberries, bananas, apples, or mixed fruit. Then you can top it with chamoy, lime salt, chili salt, cream, chocolate sauce or whatever combo you can think of. If you’re not trying to eat a 500 calorie cup of shaved ice, they offer ‘thin ice’ flavors with no sugar, carbs or calories. They also have smoothies and coffee drinks. They are in a great location in Montgomery Plaza and it’s wonderfully air conditioned for those hot Texas days.
