Absolutely absurd drive thru wait. Every single time I come here, I end up waiting an unreasonable amount of time for a damn snow cone.

Time to retrain the employees, I get that each shaved ice may not feel spectacularly important to the high school kid making it, but it's beginning to effect your brand Mark. This is the second time in two weeks that I've had to have the kid remake the product, two attempts last visit, three attempts this time. And they still weren't acceptable, I just gave up. I'm sad to have to report this about my favorite shaved ice spot, but it really is time to address the standards guys. read more

I haven't ordered anything besides their snocones, but they are so good snd the holiday flavors and variety of choices are always so good as well. Also, Who doesn't love a spoon that changes colors based on being hot or cold!? Nice place for a quick little treat. read more

Great shave ice. Service is quick. Staff is friendly. We love the sugar free versions too.

To the little blonde girl working Valentines Day night, when someone says "thank you" learn to say "you're welcome!" instead of "yeah" and then slamming the window. Also the Kokomoko was disgusting. It was soda water with chocolate. Threw it away and went to Arctic Circle down the street. read more

I love Bahama Buck's! The Bahama Mama Rama style shaved ice is tasty! Tonight I tried Coconut Cream Pie and Tiger's Blood. Matt got Strawberry Colada and Dreamsicle. Both were delicious! When it's cold outside you can get more punches too. Not quite cold enough today though. Too bad. read more

Came her with my six year old (today July 3rd at 12:00 on the dot) who got a student reward card for a free 12oz product. We ordered his and then I joined the rewards club for a free product so my other kids could share it. The free student shaved ice wasn't even free. They charge you for the toppings that come with whatever you order. So then I had to explain to my 6 year old he doesn't get pop rocks on top since it would be over a dollar for a few pop rocks sprinkled and we are on a budget. Not awesome. I joined the rewards club ahead of time in the parking lot and fill out all my info because the paper I brought with me said verbatim "free product any size just for joining" but I joined and there is no coupon, nothing pops up in the app or anything. The cashier just said "sorry" So we canceled the order besides the shave ice for the student reward without the toppings and it ended with my three kids sharing one small cup of shave ice. It was sad. They overpromised on everything and then 100% under delivered. Super lame especially considering we spent an hour driving total to get there and back. read more

We ordered a large drink with light ice, but when we got to the window they handed us a small. We told them we ordered a large and he dumped the small drink into a large cup, filling the remainder of space with ice and handed it back. Very unhappy :( read more

Living outside of Utah, but traveling there a large percentage of my year, gives me such a unique perspective on the food in Utah. I love Utah food. There is a wide array of different foods. This is because you have many people who move to Utah from other countries, as well as having a large portion of the population that spends two years outside of the state, often in different countries. This creates a demand for unique foods. Utah also has what I would term, viral foods. These are foods that become viral hits (The Soda shops, In-N-Out, etc). Bahama Bucks is one such viral hit. We had been trying to marry our schedule with a time when we could go to a Bahama Bucks. We were finally able to do it on a Monday. There are lots and lots of choices. You would do well to go and look at photos and recommendations before you go. Otherwise you may get overwhelmed with all the choices. I got a small (which was fairly big), with Tiger's Blood and watermelon, and ice cream in the middle. It was good. It's all that I expect in a shaved ice restaurant. We finished all of our shaved ice off ( there were three of us) in pretty short order. I will be stopping by again to try other combos. read more

I just barely started going to bahama bucks during quarantine because of their drive thru and i've been a good number of times before but this time when i ordered my usual, a mango tango smoothie, i was drinking it when i noticed a hair. The hair was inside the cup, and i'm honestly disgusted and don't think i'll be back. read more

This was my first Bahama Buck's experience. This place is sooo delicious! I ordered the flavor of the day: Bob Marley (Jamaican Rum with Jamaican Punch). Of course I added the Tropical Cream - yum!! Definitely a new favorite dessert shop! My husband added sour sand to his warhead flavors - a great combo for any of you super sour fans! A little sticky on the inside and you have to wait in line for quite a while if it's busy but do NOT let this deter you. Bahama Buck's will not disappoint. Bonus: This place is Celiac Friendly. read more

This place is amazing. Everything I have ordered from here has been a hit. I especially appreciate that they have a large number of sugar free options that don't take away from the taste or experience. The one issue I have is that there isn't ever an adult working there and the teenagers disappear into the back for quite some time, so it's almost impossible to get more or help if you need it. read more

Such a fun treat for teens and teens. They love it! No matter the time of year, the answer to, "Do you want to go to Bahama Bucks?" is YES! read more

This place is my favorite! Their shaved ice is amazing! 10/10 would recommend. My husband love to get his Bahama mama Rama or whatever that's called again, which has ice cream at the bottom of your shaved ice! Yum I know! read more

I am forever changed. Tonight I had a Bahama Buck's desert for the very first time. I did my research before going and I ordered Sugar Cookie with cinnamon with the ice cream. It was the best thing I've ever had. My taste buds danced and celebrated every bite. Others in my crew ordered Tigers Blood and Pina Colada. All were fantastic. I was grateful for the suggestion for what I ordered. I'd be curious to learn what are some of the staff favorites for future ordering! I also appreciated the family environment and the prices were good. A large could serve two of my kids. The challenge is getting them to agree on the same flavors! Overall, amazing desert, service, and environment. We will be back! Often! read more

It was really good and the flavor was on point. The cashier didn't seem really friendly and it looked more like a high school club rather than an actual place. I got watermelon and strawberry with creme in a 12 oz size. The shaved ice didn't make me fall in love with it, it was alright; nothing more or less. read more

Absolutely horrible service!!!!! We love bahama bucks but Everytime we wait nearly 45 minutes just to order. The last two times have been over an hour. When we ask if something happened we are met with snarky remarks! We have loved it but we will have to take our business elsewhere. read more

Great shaved ice! But glaring health code violations by the young staff. Just from the drive thru window we observed one female employee wipe her nose with her shirt. Another female employee's hair was not pulled back off of her face, and she repeatedly ran her fingers through, and played with her hair while taking customers orders. No sight of a manager on duty to let him know to open up the training manual, and get the staff dialed in. read more

I had never heard of a Bahama Bucks until today and decided to try it for dessert. They have a ton of flavors and have all of the classic add ins. The small is more than enough, so you're also getting a lot for your money. I'm excited to know that come December I'll still be able to get a shaved ice when all of the other shaved ice huts are closed for the season. My only complaint is that they got both mine and my husband's order wrong, but the downside is that by the time you figure out that they put the wrong flavor in, you've eaten quite a bit and feel bad for asking for a new one. read more

This is normally one of my favorite places, and normally I try to be understating of places when things are slow and what not. But I waited an hour in the line + having to still get my snow cone. They didn't even get my order right, and when I looked inside the windows they were talking and messing around and when I was leaving I saw 2 people outside just talking and messing around. This is ridiculous & even though they have good snow cones I will not be going back. If I could, I would give them 0 star! Maybe they should consider training their staff better. I'm taking this to social media. read more

So awesome. I ordered something that had red food coloring in it, and I didn't realize until I got the drink. They looked into it and found it was in fact the kind my husband is allergic to. They have a line of natural shaved ice that doesn't have food coloring in it, and they happily switched flavors for us even after the original drink was made Super friendly people. Nice and clean. Good experience! read more

This is my go to stop when I want something sweet and not ice cream since I have to have sugar free the staff is awesome and keeps the store very clean and organized. read more

We love Bahama Bucks on any day. They have a huge selection of flavors and everything I have had is delicious. The atmosphere is fun with an island theme. Most of the clientele are teenagers in the evening and it seems to be a local hangout. The only complaint is that the wait tends to be a little long. The numerous choices lead to long decision making and taste testing. Aside from the wait this place is fantastic! read more

Tell me why employees don't wear gloves? One of the workers scratched her butt, later she scoops too much ice cream so tries to press it down with her butt scratching finger just to realize it won't fit so she takes it out of the cup and puts it back into the freezer!!!! Other than that blue raspberry is yummy. read more

Best shave ice around! Just as good as the shave ice in Hawaii. It melts in your mouth. Great atmosphere and location. Awesome flavors, friendly staff. A win-win all around. They even have games to play at your table. I love taking my kids there. It's a treat for all of us. If we can't be in Hawaii, I'll take Bahama Bucks any day! read more

Only come here if you want not get the shaved ice you order. Also took them way longer than normal to get us our order when we were the first in line. I have gotten my shaved ice from here faster when they are super busy. The workers were a bunch of high schoolers messing around. They were screaming and laughing so much I could hear them through the closed drive through window. No ice cream in it like I asked for. Super annoyed with the lack of care and immaturity of the workers. read more

Waited *literally* 10 minutes at the drive through window for three basic drinks. No cars behind or in front of us, and only one patron inside the store. Watched the three workers in the store doddle and goof around. I never leave reviews but this was so bad I had to warn people! Just talked to my cousin who lives in the complex and she waited 35 minutes in the drive through for one slushie. Wowza. read more

From my sister raving to me about this place, I fully anticipated it earning 5 stars, however, I don't think they have quite earned it yet. Dont get me wrong, I really liked Bahama Bucks. The shaved ice was very fine and they had tons of flavors. They had just about every combination you could imagine, including a scoop of ice cream on the bottom. I was really impressed with their prices too - much better than other places. I liked the indoor seating and the large booth seating and corner tables for big groups. Although I genuinely liked the shaved ice, I didn't love it. Only a few bites in and the whole middle section was dry. They were glad to add more flavor but it would have been nice to have it right the first time. The ice cream on the bottom wasn't the greatest quality. It was kind of hard and didn't melt in my mouth very well. It almost tasted like Western family brand. They had a ton of people working behind the counter but somehow we still had to wait in line behind 7 or 8 people for 20 minutes or so. They could have easily pumped us through quicker. Overall this is a great shaved ice place, just a few things they could do better. Hopefully I'll return in the future and see a 5 star establishment! read more

Agreed with the other reviewers. The shaved ice is delicious, but the staff are very inefficient and can not handle serving multiple customers at once. read more

This brightly colored, sunny location serves some delicious shaved ice and smoothies. I love that they offer dairy free, sugar free, and other dietary options. I think this is the perfect stop for a casual date night or to take the whole family out for something sweet. The staff and friendly and happy and very accommodating. read more

I heard about Bahama Buck's from a company that I worked for last year. So, when I saw that we finally had one, I had to take my kids there for the first snowcone of the year! We orderd a strawberry cheesecake snowcone with cream and a toasted coconut snowcone with cream. Both flavors were outstanding. I'd like to maybe try some other menu items. One thing that I was surprised at was that the syrup didn't go to the center of the snowcone. Both had a core of ice that had no syrup. That was a little dissapointing, as I've never had a snowcone that was like that. read more

You know what I think the problem is? I don't really love snow cones... I like them, I just don't crave them. This is a Hawaiian ice joint and although my wife loves them, I'm not the most hugest fan. I really wish I did love them. I always enjoy eating most of it. I say most of it because by the end I'm so so tired of eating sugar ice and I can't enjoy the ice cream at the bottom. So, I avoided the shaved ice and got the smoothie. Although really good, it was a little sweet to take on the regular. This is a good place to go in the summer and I can see why it has 4 1/2 stars... But I believe there are better places to indulge in frozen treats. read more

This place is sugar overload. Menu is so overwhelming with too many choices of flavors and items. The shaved ice is delicious, very smooth, almost the consistency of a slighty frozen icee. I got a Tigers blood shaved ice with ice cream, they hardly put any ice cream in it which is annoying for the amount they charge for it. The T.B. wasnt what I was use to, tasted more like cinnamon and cherry then anything but it was still good. read more

Their slushie drinks are heavenly. I am a creature of habit & have only ever gotten the toasted coconut. I have also tasted my daughter's cherry flavored one. I always get mine mixed with the sweet cream / condensed milk (?), & have them put a scoop of ice cream at the bottom. I get the kid's size because their cups are so big. They have an extensive menu, with much more than slushies, & an array of flavors to choose from. Go here quickly! You won't regret it. read more

I ordered an avalanche size bahama colada with strawberries. It was pretty good! Not the best pina colada I've ever had but definitely not the worst. I'll go back and try something different next time. The biggest problem was the lid did not fit on the cup so when I picked up my drink, half of it ended up on me. Just be aware of you order this size! read more

Uh.....ordered 2 small shaved ice. Took 5 teenybopper behind the counter 15-20 minutes to pump those out. What?! Also 2 of them were walking around cussing etc. great place to bring my 9 and 5 year old for a $5.00 snowie. I'll make sure I come back to the business that replaces this one when you bail with 0 sales in winter. Have a nice death, Bahama bucks and I hope it is a quick one. Harsh but true. read more

I was very excited when I discovered a BB in Utah, I'm from Texas so BB is very popular and pretty much a weekly stop. We've tried it 3 times here and always leave a bit frustrated and unimpressed. Today, not only was our order wrong and took forever, there was hardly any flavoring, a snowcone without taste is just ice. The service was fine but that doesn't make up for the ice we paid 9 dollars for... read more

Bahama Buck's - Look at all of that ice... - Shaved Ice Near Me - Draper, Utah

You just can't go wrong here. Best shaved ice you will ever have! The only issue I ever really have here is a long wait, and that is mostly in the summer. During one of my last visits, there was only one person working the entire store by herself, drive thru and inside. I waited in the drive-thru for a VERY long time, and I felt so bad for the girl who was working all by herself. Hopefully they don't make that kind of scheduling mistake again!! My personal favorite is the hurricane colada snow cone, I would recommend it to anyone! read more

Ordered online for a specific pickup time, went inside and was told I had to go through the drive thru and waiter 15 minutes in line. No point in ordering online if you need somewhere to be because you will wait anyways. read more

We waited 40 minutes in the drive through for two snow cones. No customers inside. I don't know what the process is for shaving ice, but unless they are freezing water when you order it shouldn't take that long for five employees to put together orders. I won't be going back anytime soon. The snow cones aren't bad -- I mean, it's a snow cone -- but service is awful. I have been four times now and it's been a similar experience every time. read more
