"I will definitely be going back here! Great prices for the amount of ice you get. They even gave my baby some plain shaved ice on the house :) There's not a lot of shade, but that's hard to come by in TX summer anyway. Regardless, it's a great spot for a summer treat."

"OMG! Heard about this truck from a friend and stopped on a whim - snow cones have never been my thing but consider me a convert! These are light and fluffy somehow like actual snow, not crazy sweet, amazing flavor selections, combos, & real fruit (and other) mix-ins! The wedding delight was divine - loaded with fresh strawberries and cream, can't get over how much I enjoyed it. Hope this truck sticks around because there are many I want to try! Do yourself a favor, bring a date, bring your friend, bring your kid, bring yourself!"

"First time having real fruit in my snow cone, didn't know it was an option LOL! I forgot the name of mine but it was the name was something bridal I think. It's strawberry flavored with cream and real strawberries not only on top but throughout the entire thing my son got the tiger blood and blue raspberry flavors mixed together. Will definitely come back when passing through the area!"
