I’m a regular at Cool Cones near Hawaiin Falls, but he’s closed for the holidays. I’ve never had them so I decided to try Bahama Bucks out. First, the snow cone texture is amazing for sure. However, that’s where the greatness stops. The teenager running the place Waited for about 5 minutes before opening the window to take my order. The flavors — I got pomegranate and sweet tart — were so so. They were obviously mass produced stuff unlike cool cones, whose flavors are hand mixed and STRONG. The weirdest thing was how they actually made the snowcone. He used an entire block of ice for MY snowcone. They push the ice into the cup by hand, then fashion a cone on top as best they can with their hands. Then they just pour the syrup everywhere, if I was the manager I’d be firing people for waste. The syrup was ALL over the cup and it was intentional. They cleaned it up nicely before handing it to me, but it was the biggest mess I’ve seen intentionally done! I’ll be sticking with Cool Cones… much bigger snow cones, better prices, and FREE sweet cream. They also serve a Pic-a-dilly…a snowcone with sliced pickles throughout!

Whether there is one car or five cars in line, this place is so freaking slow! Shaved ice not worth the wait ’cause it really doesn’t taste that great!!!

MYFAVORITEPLACEEVER. Best dessert place on earth, I can’t get enough. The service is always outstanding and although I wish the prices were more modest, it’s worth it. Highly recommend!

The worst. My son stood in line in the heat for 20 minutes. I watched 2 people in line after him be served. Finally just asked for our $ back. Terrible customer service.

Slow slow slow. I’ve been waiting here for 15 mins for my shaved ice. I just now found out that they messed up my order and didn’t make one of my drinks. The cashier\drive through lady was rude. I was about to give them a piece of my mind but it not worth the effort. I’ll just go to one of your other location.

I love this place! Most especially during the summer in Texas. They offer snow cones and the ice has a unique texture. We love getting the blue coconut with cream. Typically the small can feed two.

Terrible service! Sat in the drive thru line for 30 min and watched a group of teenage girls throwing snow balls at the guy working behind the counter. Really hope my drink was made with ice untouched by those dirty hands!

Holy cow depending on the weather you can get 4x the punches on your punch card. That is awesome because my four year old niece remembered a promise I made her about going to BB and decided to cash it out one night when it was 28 degrees outside. It was so cold, but so worth it because now I scored a free snow cone. They have tons of flavors, I usually get the cream soda, wedding cake, and I’ve cream flavors then get cream on top. It is amazing! You can also get ice cream(bluebell) inside it. Sounds weird but it’s great. This location has a nice patio that you can sit and enjoy when weather permits, and the staff I’ve encountered has been friendly, and semi quick.

Everything here is fantastic. It’s ICE! How can one screw up ICE? Inside though it smells rancid! They need more comfortable chairs. When the drive thru has A line wrapped around the building Be prepared to wait a long long time if you eat there. It seems like the drive Thru gets served faster. Working on our third punch card. Prices are very reasonable.

I’m at this place so much — I should own stock! Hands down the best sno cone in town. And there are at least 4 other spots in a 5 – 7 mile radius. I get the 32oz one every time! I can’t eat it all in one sitting so I eat as much as I want — put it in the freezer and eat some EVERYDAY until it’s gone and time for another one! #TeamBahamaBucks4Life

This place is amazing. Are you ready to have mouthgasms?! Come check this place out. Forget Starbucks and the rest of the places. Come here and try it out! I’ve had the #7 smoothie and it hits the spot everytime.

Been here several times and enjoy their sno cones in any weather. Sometimes depending on the time(or crew working) they can be quite slow while other times they are amazingly fast. I do love the reward system to earn free sno cones and it is part of what keeps me coming back!

Worst customer service. Management, do us a solid — train the idiotic teenagers who work at this store.

This had been the first time since forever! It was extremely hot! The workers are really nice the only thing is that I wish this place was a walk-in! So you wouldn’t have to stand out in the hot heat! Over all good drinks, nice workers!

Came here for some shaved iced and left with brain freeze! Shaved iced is so smooth plus all the flavors to choose from makes for a happy mouth. They are open all year round so you can get your ice on whenever.

There are so freaking many choices. I tried super sour strawberry. It wasn’t really too sour. I love that the snowcones come with paper umbrellas!
