Always annoyed by the very loud fan at the drive thru speaker. But that's fine. Today we went in. Out of Tropic Cream, out of condensed milk, slow service bc the poor girl had no help, and to top it off, no operating water. Sorry, but this is against health code. read more

Went in to get two drinks on Memorial Day and it was a 45-minute wait. The poor girl working inside was the only employee there, which honestly seemed unsafe for a young woman to be alone running the business on a holiday. She was clearly doing the best she could. The drive-thru line was long, the inside wait was long, and despite all of it, she remained professional and patient with everyone. Other customers were asking why the owner didn't come help, send additional staff, or simply close if they knew only one employee would be working. She mentioned that she had informed her boss, but nothing was done. This review is not a reflection of the employee -- she handled a stressful situation very well. It's a reflection of poor management and staffing decisions. Unfortunately, I won't be visiting this location again. read more

Before I get into this, I must disclose that my roommate is single-handedly propping up Bahama Buck's business in the Cypress area. Armed with gift cards aplenty and an insatiable need to consume copious amounts of sour patch sauce, my roomie ordered a tiger's blood-grape with sour patch sauce and warhead spray while her boyfriend and I got a pair of the Sour Patch Kid Blue Raspberries - infant size. When my roomie went to retrieve her snow cone, Mr. Buck's failed to include grape in her chosen menagerie of flavors, then begrudgingly "fixed" it by just pouring copious amounts of grape on the top of her cone. Also - no warhead spray. Whereas, my snow cone was undersauced and ultimately "raw" in the middle. Also, I'd tell you if I like the sour sand, but we didn't get any. I'd pass this Buck any day. We'll be going to the Costco location next read more

They lie on the pick menu. It states that you get the same amount as a online order compared to in person when they give you an extra mountain of sno on top. They say its just moved to a larger cup. Not only did i get the same cup size. They didn't even fill it up read more

After waiting a bit to order... Picked out what I wanted off the sugar-free menu, had my mother order hers then the young man informed me that he was told by the other girls working they don't have any sugar-free options available. Definitely should've told me as I was ordering. This location has gone downhill. read more

Terrible service. I waited fifty minutes for two small snow cones. there wasn't even a lot of people here in line.

The service was great. Tell me how I love this Bahama books better than I've ever have been to. It is such good service. They're fast workers and they're really nice!!!! read more

This was the first time I had a shaved ice from Bahamas busks and I got the Christmas tree. I can say that I hated it my first layer had no flavor then boom the red happened and it was sour which I know it was supposed to be but I took a bite and I choked on it for ten minutes I couldn't stop coughing and choking. I threw the rest away the green didn't have any flavor. read more

I love this place! It's always clean and the staff is super friendly! If you want a treat that is cool and refreshing then this is your stop. A big plus is they have Sugar free selections (which I love because I'm diabetic). So for those who are diabetic like me,you can enjoy a special treat too, guilt free! So many different flavors to choose from, over 50. Plus signature flavors and add ons for an extra fee. If you love shaved ice ( just like Hawaii style, very fine shaved ice) then you gotta try this place. Your kids will love you and the prices are so reasonable. Everyone can afford to splurge a little for a super cool treat! read more

We pre placed a party order several hours in advance to pickup at 5:00 for my little sister's graduation party. I arrived at 5:15 to pick it up and overheard the workers say they accidentally gave the order to someone else. The girl at the front just came back and said that they'd be one moment. At 5:50 I received the order. No one at any point was honest about the situation or offered anything to make up for their blunder or my personal time wasted. I asked for some type of discount or certificate but was denied. Super disappointed with the service for a special occasion. read more

The Shaved Ice was Freshly shaved and it was really good! I also love the milkshakes and other drinks. A scoop of Ice Cream is always a good touch read more

Props to the manager keeping everything organized. She's very fast paced and knows what's she's doing. Definitely will visit again soon. I'm not sure what her name was, but she had black hair and a ponytail read more

This is the worst shaved ice joint EVER! The employees were all high school kids and had no idea what they were doing. Why is there not one real adult in here?! The 4 kids in there were just lost. We waited no fewer than 30 mins to get two shaved ice. While we were there, one lady got irate and said she had been waiting 45 mins. One lady got up and asked for her money back and not one of those little ingrates working there apologized. Then when we finally got what was supposed to be shaved ice they were slushes. NOT FROZEN AT ALL. People come here to get a treat, instead you get long waits, dumb unfriendly children, and a sticky dirty disorganized restaurant. So disappointing! Save yourself the aggravation and just get a slushy from Sonic read more

it's good overall but it takes a long time to be served. the workers are all teenagers no adults what so ever.

Always super good! If you are looking for a quick dessert, I would definitely check this place out. My favorite is the half cheery half birthday cake with Bahama Vanilla Cream! read more

We always order the baby size because they are gigantic. I have had the pink bubble gum, strawberry cheesecake and blue bubblegum. They are all yummy and come with lots of syrup. Another location would give my dog a cup of ice, not sure if this location does or not. I am shocked to find out they are closed on Sundays!! Bummer! It takes awhile to go through the drive-thru but they are worth it! read more

I really like the Bahama Bucks chain but this location goes pretty light on their flavoring. The ice seems sub par.. very chunky

My first time here and I decided to try the blue bubblegum shaved ice. I don't know if they recently cleaned or have bad water, but it tasted like chlorine or Clorox. Horrible strong aftertaste that left me queasy afterwards! I'm sorry, but I can't recommend this place. I've never had a bad snow cone in my life, but there's something wrong at this location. Go elsewhere for a summer treat!!! read more

Bahama Buck's - How can something look so good and taste so bad?!? Yuck!! - Shaved Ice Near Me - Cypress, Texas

So SLOW and crappy customer service. No one in line and not many cars in front and yet it took nearly 12 minutes waiting at the drive thru. Was ignored at the speaker for nearly 5 minutes. Totally unacceptable. read more

Snow in a Cup! So you want to go overboard with a zillion flavor choices from Sweet Tart to Cherry, Pickle to Sour Pink Lemonade, Coconut Cream Pie to Wedding Cake; then Bahama Buck's is your place. They shave their specially frozen ice (it looks that way from across the counter) into a fine snow like consistency. It's so "snowy" that they actually sell snowballs to-go.This is a great base to saturate with the sweet, colorful mixture of your choice (I'm boring and just go with the pink lemonade). Be prepared for the line! Everyone mentioned it for a reason (and the staff seems to be moving as quickly as they can -- for teenagers). You may have come here on a whim, but it takes a commitment to get your frozen treat. My Tips for You: 1. Order smaller than you want. It's plenty. 2. Grab plenty of napkins. 3. I don't see the point of doing half flavors (it's all the same at the bottom of the cup) 4. Ask if they can go light on the syrup (unless you're a bee) 5. Inside the Loop, go to Yeti Sunshine for a simple, gourmet snow cone read more

When I lived in a small town in Louisiana a few years ago there was a shaved ice place that put cream on top... I've never found another place since - until now! So many flavors to choose from and I love that they have sugar free. My 3 year old does not need any extra energy, believe me. They also have games inside that you can play at your table, which is a nice extra touch. The ONLY downside is the line. Ha! It always to the door when we arrive... sometimes it goes OUT the door. We keep going back though, so it must not be too bad. I say go, just be prepared to wait. Maybe you can make the person who lost 'rock, paper, scissor' stand in line while you grab a table with the other member sof your party and get your game play on. read more

I LOVE this place. However, I was recently diagnosed with gestational diabetes so my husband took me to try the thin ice flavors tonight. Omg they are so gross!!!! He got the wedding cake and I got the piña colada... It seriously tasted like I was eating lotion. It even left a greasy, oily feeling in my mouth. I think they need to take these off the menu until they figure out a way to make them better. Again, their regular flavors are awesome but if you're needing a low sugar or healthier option, I say skip it for sure. It was very disappointing, especially when you're 8 months pregnant and all you want is a good snow cone!!! :'( Also, I don't recommend going on weekends unless you've got a lot of time to kill. read more

This place wins in Houston where this will cool you down from the hundred degree temps! Wow pretty surprised about this place. WE loved coming in and choosing from the different flavors they have to choose from. Our only beef with this place is that it seems to be unclean every time we come in. the tables,chairs and floors seem to be always sticky. We could have bad timing and kids could have just spilled their sno-cone and then smeared it every where we dont know. read more

Best Sno-cones ever. However, they have the worst and slowest service on the planet. read more

This place is always good at your orders the young employees are very respectful. my experience I haven't had any negative service. They are consistent haven't got a different product made other than what I'm use too. read more

I LOVE the shaved ice here. The texture is perfect and the flavors I've tried are all delicious. Especially pink cotton candy. But it's super annoying to pay $5 for one of these and realize they were stingy with the flavor. Almost every time, the center and bottom are completely flavorless. I also hate the drive thru at this location. There's always noise so you have to scream at the speaker and struggle to hear them. That's not their fault really though. Just mentioning it. read more

Shaved ice, smoothies, etc. I admittedly don't have a broad range of experience with shaved ice places (I had a sheltered childhood), but the differentiating feature at Buck's is not the number of flavors (which is huge), but the fact that they are not horrifyingly sweet. You can enjoy a decent size portion of a shaved ice treat without feeling like you're downing Imperial sugar packets. Speaking of size, a small at Buck's is more than enough for me, even on a hot Texas day (but far be it from me to limit your freedom of choice). Warning -- on our visit, this place was absolutely mobbed at 8:30 pm, with at least 10 cars lined up in the drive-thru. They also have a "Thin Ice" variation using stevia -- 0 calories. It's more than a little icier than the sugared-up version, but was still good (for those of you trying to be good, but still going to a place like Bahama Buck's). read more

This is definitely my favorite location. Although they are not open on Sundays and the one on Jones is, this one has way quicker service which is very important to me. Sometimes it can be hard to find a seat so the drive-through is way easier and more convenient, but as long as you're OK with that and want your ice fast I would say this is the location to come too. On the other hand if you are not in a hurry and just want to sit down with friends and family I would definitely check out the one on Jones road by Cypress N. Houston Rd. The pricing is great and the yelp coupon was awesome. The sizes are kind of ginormous so I typically get the baby size and that is more than enough for me. In fact I probably could've gotten away with splitting one of the baby sizes with my son, if we could only agree on a flavor LOL! read more

Bahama Buck's - Birthday cake flavor with sprinkles! Yum! - Shaved Ice Near Me - Cypress, Texas

The snow cones are AMAZING....... but I have to say.... the employees need a bit of training for mature customer service. Each time I have come to this location and used the drive through, they are very unprofessional and it's clear they are really really young so I can't blame them. Also the flat top cones need to have a better presentation. I was given TWO of these that the cups were damaged and the actual snow cone looked really bad to the point where I asked "what happened?" When I received them. Although the teenage employees don't really provide the best service, it won't stop me from returning because the flavor is so amazing. read more

I asked for a blue raspberry and they gave me some medicine that tasted nasty and they refused to give me a refund and then told me to buy a new one . read more

Bahama Yucks! To me their product tastes like cough syrup and a pile of extra sugar poured over shaved ice. Their frozen lemonade is equally bad tasting. Both leave a remarkably bad after taste that I can't effectively describe other than to say it's artificial and nasty. The store itself is clean and pleasant. It's overstaffed with teenagers that have their attention split between serving and socializing. Life is too short for bad frozen treats. :( read more

I love Bahama Bucks but this one just doesn't make sense. On google maps it says it is open until 10:30,but they won't serve us. Then when we get there, it says fro Friday 1:00 pm to 9:00 pm. It's very confusing. Then when I walked up to ask if they were open, the employee ignored me. I wanted to ask a simple question to see if we could get Bahama bucks late at night. This place might be good, but my experience was terrible. One word of caution, do not go here late at night. read more

I LOVE this place. My search is over. I moved to Cypress from Louisiana just a little over a year ago. Louisiana is the home of the snowball (snowcone/shaved ice)...just saying. I've been jonsing for a snowball so after doing some surfing I found BB's information. Pro's: 1. Perfect Ice - They have the best ice ever! It is so perfectly shaved it is like a snowflake melting on your tongue. Some snowballs are very grainy, in fact they are really a snowcone but this place nails it. 2. A bajillion flavors - Not only do they have tons of flavors, I'm a snob so when I order 50/50 and they poured the syrup on perfectly i was super psyched. 3. Groovy temperature sensitive spoons that change colors. It's the little extras that make a 4 star business earn a 5th star. 4. Cream and ice cream. You can add both. I've always been a strict old school snowball fan. No cream or ice cream for me but if you want it they have it! 5. Open until 11:00 pm all week long! Yes, sometime I NEED a snowball at 11:00 on a Tuesday night. 6. Punch card - Buy 10 get one free. 7. Party Pack - small or large party packs. Small gets you 1 bottle of syrup, 10 cups, ice, spoons, a stainless snow scoop, a stainless pour spout and little umbrellas! Large gets you 3 bottles, 3 spouts, a scoop, 25 cups, ice and spoons. What a great idea! Con's: 1. Drive thru window in a bad location. Causes traffic to back up rather quickly. 2. A little pricier than I am used to but I am ok with it because they truly make the best snowball I have ever had. 3. So yummy they are addictive! Obviously I could go on and on about this place. It's so good I was torn on whether or not to write a review and share them with the world! read more

Love their snow cones, but ran by "ADD" kids that can't focus enough to get your order right . That place would be best in town if they had a manager over the age of twelve! read more

Love it!! Very refreshing with a large variety of flavors. The staff is always friendly and helpful too. Love the drive through, makes it way easier to grab something tasty. read more

The ice in the snowcone is nasty and tastes like its made with unfiltered water. Im not sure where the ice comes from but it leaves a nasty aftertaste. There was a weird greasy consistency in the wedding cake flavored cone and the strawberry cheesecake tasted nothing like its name. My daughter likes this place but I won't be returning. read more

Very soft ice! Turns into a slushy after you move the ice around. Great flavors and amazing service (even 5min before closing time).

Great place! Although the line was super long when I got in, but moved along quickly. Many different flavors to choose from! You won't be disappointed! I wish there were more locations! read more
