Decided to stop by after grabbing pizza since it's so super hot outside and it was the best decision! From the outside, the space does look small but trust it's big. There was lots of seating and table. The staff were super sweet and kindly explained the menu gave us some recommendation. I order the strawberry cheesecake delight and orange dreamsicle delight. Both snow cones had a scoop of vanilla blue bell ice cream at the bottom which was a nice surprise. The snow cones were packed to the top and covered in the syrup so there was no need to worry about the ice at the bottom being plain. It was to where the worker had to put my snow cone into a bigger cup cause the cup was overflowing which caught me by surprised. Overall, I definitely recommend if you want something to cool down in the Texas heat. read more

If I could give them a zero I would. The cashier was extremely rude. I went through the drive-through and after sitting there for 10 minutes, she still hadn't taken my order and you could not hear her at all. I honked and honked and she came to the window and said she will not serve me for honking. I asked for the manager's name and phone number and was refused. I am handicap and I had to get out and go in to get them to take an order. They also served all of the black customers before they served me. There seems to be an issue with some discrimination. read more

Worst Bahama Rama Mama I have ever had. Way too much syrup, hardly any shaved ice and they didn't even attempt to make the shaved ice top like they are supposed too. They poured a huge shot of the frozen cream on top that didn't even freeze properly. Drive through was quick but that's because they only made half of the BRM read more

The service here can be a bit slow on occasion, but the convenience of a drive thru and online ordering can't be understated. I've never had an issue with my order here. The quality of the shaved ice is always consistent. There's something to be said for sugar syrup over fine shaved ice that can't be beat on these hot Texas days. Endless flavor combos to make for yourself, a nice range of menu combos to try. The sizes go from baby to huge, but truthfully the smallest size is really all one person needs. Pro tip if you're ordering to-go is to get your order as a Flat-Top, less mess. Aesthetic inside is basically Margaritaville without the tequila, it's family friendly and beachy. Tables are a little sticky, makes sense considering the menu here. Stay cool out there Houston, these summers have been brutal. read more

I love Bahama Buck's! I think it's the ice that gets me every time. I have had several flavors and the only flavor that i realized doesn't pair well with my taste buds, is dill pickle. Somehow my order got mixed up and the oder included dill pickle. Not good at all. For those that love dill pickle snowballs, cuddos to you, HOWEVER, i just could not...LOL! The guy at the counter corrected my order with no problem. I am just glad to know to never try dill pickle again lol! read more

Lively, tasty, and super friendly. This was my first Bahama Bucks experience and Alex did a great job helping me sort out what I wanted, he was patient, and very friendly! The store was super busy on a 96 degree Saturday at 5P. This is the refreshing spot you need anytime you want a tasty and cold treat. read more

I visited the Bahama Bucks at 11300 Katy Freeway in Houston on June 2, 2024. This place looks like it's run by a pack of teenage boys because it is not clean. All of the tabletops were sticky. The floor was sticky and had visible pools of spilled drinks. One of the printed menus at the front counter was sticky. One customer in the table area had to ask that their table cleaned. I pointed out a pool of colored liquid under my companion's chair and reminded her not to put her foot in it. The irony is that when we walked into the store it smelled like commercial cleaning products. So that's not horrible but clearly the floors and tables aren't getting cleaned often enough. However, I would prefer that a place called "Bahama Bucks" smell either neutral or tropical, not commercial cleaning products. One of the menu monitors was not displaying anything. It is difficult enough already to know what to order here, and having a blank menu screen was a problem. Even if the dining area and menus were up to par, the overpriced beverages are lacking. I dislike the complicated menu becuase it's not always clear what you're getting. The menu targeted toward the higher priced combinations, blends, and toppings all listed with marketing names, so unless you ask or dig into the details somewhere else, you don't know what you're getting. I ordered the "Bahama Colada" which is described as, "Juicy pineapple fruit and creamy coconut blended with non-fat vanilla Greek yogurt make a delicious healthy smoothie." The Bahama Colada was not bad, but it had a strong tang of yogurt that dominated the coconut flavor. There was no pineapple flavor. I could detect small bits of coconut. Ultimately there was no way this drink was worth $6.89. While it might have been non-fat or low-fat, it was lacking in richness and flavor. I would not purchase this drink again. I have only been to this location a small handful of times since it's been there, maybe a decade, and now I know why: It's not clean, the prices are too high considering the dirty environment, the menu is too complicated, and the prices are too high. Sorry Bahama Bucks, you need to get the BASICS right first, and you're not doing that here. read more

Ratings Explanation: 1 Star - Food was Unedible, Nasty, Never want to go. 2 Star - Food was Edible, but not good. Would not recocomend going. 3 Star - Food was Pretty good, has some issues, eat there if you like but I don't reccomend if you're looking for great food. 4 Star - Food was really good, Reccomend going there, A Few minor changes that I would make, but almost perfect. 5 Star - Best at what it does in my experience. ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS, would definitely reccomend going there. Bahama Buck's I've visited multiple times, and this is the one I live closest too, This place is a Snowcone establishment with Odviously, Snowcones, Special Flavored Soda, Smoothies, and a few other things. This place has probably the best snow in their SnoCones out of any place I've been too, its absolutely perfect. Its as if I went outside in the north and scooped out a handful of soft snow and put it in a cup, but if the snow was in a clean environment. Its absolutely amazing. What makes this place even better is that their SnoCone flavors are extremely strong, and they perfectly announce what they are trying to represent. And to make it even better, they have over 100 different flavors and every single one I've had it good. They also have sodas there, where you can Mix their flavors into them, which end up tasting amazing. Some of the flavors and flavor combos I would reccomend getting there if you go are: Jamaican Rum: Super good flavor, has slight tropical nodes, and all of their alcohol flavors are completely alcohol free. Cherry: Super strong flavor of cherry, mixes well with everything Banana: An unexpected strength of banana flavor, super good to pair with other tropical fruity flavors Pina Colada: a snow cone classic, extremely good. Strawberry Cheesecake: Super good desert flavor, tastes exactly like what it says. Sugar cookie: Tastes more like a Cookie Dough flavor, but definitely encapsulates what its trying to do, a great desert option. Candycane and oreo cookie flavor, Winter Holiday only. This flavor combo tastes like a super sweat thin mint snow cone and its extremely refreshing, if you like the thin mint flavor, you'd like this combo. Sugar Cookie, Banana, with chocolate Drisel and crushed oreo cookies. This flavor tastes like a Chocolate Banana Sundae, but in the palm of your hand. It's a great desert flavor combo that you should get there. Blue Coconut, White Coconut, and Pina colada Pops. This flavor is a much more refreshing flavor mixture that gives you a great taste of the coconut you are going for. These are just some of the flavors I've had that I think are extremely good, but there's many more that are probably also great there, these flavors can also all be added to the sodas so make your flavor as you like! 1 more extra note is that, the sour patch sauce is extremely sour so if you aren't a fan of sour foods, ask to take this sauce out if it comes with the menu item you're getting, for example the Christmas tree flavor for this holiday right now has it, and in my opinion it makes it much worse, so I could you not, if you don't like sour things, ask to remove this sauce. If you do like sour things though, this will probably hit the spot for you but its not for me. This specific Bahama buck's location I frequent quite often, and I will say they have only messed up 1 time since the probably 15 times I've been here, by not fully mixing the snow up. Since that 1 time though, I've never had an issue with this Bahama bucks specifically. Overall, Best snowcone establishment in my opinion. Definitely a 100% go for me. read more

I ordered shaved ice for my sister and I after hearing rave reviews about this place from several coworkers. We were told they were the best. I perused their Yelp page for recommendations and was going to get strawberry when I saw the option for passionfruit and decided to get two medium passionfruit ices. The ice cups definitely looked good and refreshing on the pictures and they have a plethora of flavors to choose from. I really like the texture of the shaved over. Soft and pillowy, really nice. I've never had it before. Really ideal texture. The medium cup was more like a large for me so if I return I would get a small. I don't remember the prices but they were very reasonable. If you love, love, love passionfruit like me do not get it from here! First of all, the syrup they used was red. Passionfruit is orange and never red. When I called the store to see if they had given us the wrong syrup they said no and proceeded to tell me the color of passion fruit is red. The outside of passionfruit, that you don't eat is purple. Also, the syrup had no flavor at all. It tasted like sugar water. I was disappointed in our ices. Neither one of us took more than two bites. I liked the ice texture but the flavorless syrup was too off putting. I think I will probably try them one more time for a safer flavor like strawberry or pineapple. read more

Seriously! Aren't these damn good! I mean who doesn't like flavored shaved ice? I stopped by for this delicious treat this past week. The interior is decorated like all of the others in that tropical theme. Counter service was friendly and helpful. I tried a 12 oz. birthday cake and all I can say is that I wish it had been my birthday. Yummy, yummy good and at $3.49 a real deal. Comfortable places to sit inside and games for the kids. They even give you an umbrella for that next rainstorm. Yes, I am a fan and Yes, I got a little brain freeze.... read more

Literally the best sno cone I've ever had!!!! I got the bomb pop. Best decision I've ever made for dessert!!!

this place is unacceptable, absolutely disgusting!!!!!! the wait was unacceptable 30 minutes for two snow cones and no one was in front of us?!?! i will never go to this place again (ps: there was little pieces of "stuff" in my snow cone) read more

So the shaved ice is bomb let's start there. To the left I had the root beer , bubble gum , & coca cola. Pretty much taste like syrup & soda if you like those type of slushes / what not. My friend had the blueberry , vanilla , and another flavor. He didn't quite finish it due to the vanilla tasting like a vanilla candle ( hopefully you get it ) but overrall it was great and great customer service , such patience because I couldn't figure it out. Thank you so much for the shaved ice and services :) read more

Very good summer treat! Everything in the store is sticky from sno cones spilling. Customer service was excellent

We pulled up at the drive-thru at 9:50 p.m on Friday. There was only one car in front of me before I made it to the drive thru. They turned the lights off outside as soon at 9:58 p.m and began closing. The female employee admitted she saw me waiting way before they closed but insisted on saying. Once 10 pm hits we will stop taking orders regardless if they you were next. I understand it's Friday and they want to leave. But to start closing before 10 is not right. Really disappoint in the drive thru employee. I'm sure if they weren't in a rush to close they would of had time for my order. read more

I like this location .... The quality, the effort they actually put into making the sno cones ! Better than the one on fm 529.

Unfortunately what it seems like is that the owners don't have good business sense. I understand that they cannot find people to work the store but the line for the drive-through is 10 to 20 cars deep on average taking anywhere between 20 to 30 minutes or more to get a shaved ice. There are essentially kids inside running the store and frankly don't care one bit how long it takes. If they were smart they would have them outside going car to car doing the orders and bringing them out to the cars. There are more than enough people inside to do that. It would be a fun establishment and I would give it for more stars but unfortunately it is run piss poor.. read more

I could only give one star but this place has gone to the dump. The new girls there are try hards I am assuming I offended one of them, I asked to have a new flavor because it didn't have any flavor. She took it back and i watched her pour a fourth of the bottle into my new ice. She wasn't done though, she packed the ice down and loaded another couple shots of the syrup. I tried to drain it out but couldn't. I good business going to crap. Gonna stick to my gelato. Don't waste your time or money on this location. read more

I love me a good snow cone. I usually come here during lunch when it is not very crowded, so the service speed is fine. When I did come once after work to use the drive thru, the service was painfully slow to where I almost left. The interior of the store is as clean as you can get a place that serves sugar-water almost exclusively: the tables were clean but the floors were very sticky. I love how many flavors are on offer and the option to add ice cream to make is a Bahama Rama Mama (Mama Rama? something like that). My favorite flavors are birthday cake (sprinkles included!), cherry, and banana. read more

If i could give this business zero starts i would Horrible customer service, I literally waited 23 mins for 2 frozen drinks, they they brought out the wrong drinks. I asked for a refund and was told by what look like a 16 yr old kid that he didn't know how to give a refund. The manager is a kid, then then girl who brought out the drinks again was crying and i asked her whats wrong and she said some young guy screamed at her that she works with. This place needs a customer serice overhaul. I can run that place better than those kids. My cups were full of syrup and i got no apologies and no napkins.

If you live in Houston, Texas you are well aware of the temperature and then the heat index, it often feels 10 degrees hotter than the barometer reads! So when in search of a cold and icy beverage, search no more and try Bahama Bucks! This place is soooo good and reminds me of the snow cones I grew up having access to as a kid- we had a neighborhood snow cone truck in the spring and summers! Bahama Bucks provides a plethora of flavors and sizes that you can mix at your own pleasure. They also have ice cream add-ons, smoothies, fruit add-ons, iced coffees, and frozen lattes!! This location has various specialty beverages and right now they have a super cute and delicious Birthday Cake smoothie! The shaved ice here is impeccable, I'll be back as I conquer the heat! read more

**exit off wilcrest, if you're coming from beltway** there's a drive thru service I'm so use to eating the flavored milk shaved ice from China town. It's been a very very long time since I've ate plain shaved ice. It was a pretty cold day & I was surprised the place was busy inside & for the drive thru. To top it off you get more extra punches on your punch card when it's a certain degree outside. I ordered the dream sickle, sure tasted like one. But as I got to the end the syrup was a little too much. Wished they were able to top more of a creamy flavor like the real dream sickle. Textured of shaved ice was super soft. Sadly I ordered mine Togo so everything was kinda smushed in a cup. But it was still nice and soft. Melts in your mouth with cool color changing spoon. Cool place to take the kids or a date. There are board games to use as well. Can't wait to be back for other goodies. They also offer party serving too read more
