I've been waiting 30+min and nothing! They haven't even started on my snocone one girl looks like she doesn't know how to work the machine so now they're both using one. 45 min later I now have it after I had to speak up! I'm not even a Karen but that's ridiculous. After the owners reply: I could definitely see the struggle and I'm a patient person it was just I could've watched an entire episode of a show before my small snocone came out. read more

First they charged us for the car behind us. Then they got every single one of our orders wrong multiple times. We ended up all getting the wrong thing anyways and gave up on saying anything. And we still paid full price read more

Slowest drive though in the history of drive through. Finally after 45 minutes I was given the wrong order. Had to wait again. I mean if I wasn't stuck, I'd have pulled out the lane but I was locked in by other cars. read more

Better download another app to your phone to accumulate any points for your reward and then hope they don't change the game on you. After we accumulated a free one from buying 10 of the sub par, over priced, shaved ice, they would not allow us to redeem our punch card. Granted they went to the app January of this year, but we don't get out that much, and you'd think they would have still honored the reward. I mean you did earn it by spending money with them in the first place, and nothing on the card says otherwise or it expires. What gives with businesses anymore?! Highly disappointed in your customer service Bahama Buck's. DO BETTER!! read more

3 cars in front of me had one drink and was told it was a 30 min wait time. Lady then told me I'm the last customer 20 mins before closing.

LITERALLY SAT IN THE DRIVE THRU FOR 30 mins for simple shaved ice. Absolutely ridiculous. Just go to sonic. Three workers and not busy. read more

Love Bahama Buck's. Like the specialty drinks. My services was outstanding today, no wait.

They raised the prices. I paid $8 for a "baby" size (the smallest size) snow cone. Also, as soon as it was handed to me, it was melted. Long wait time in the drive through too even though there was only one car in front of me. Never coming here again. read more

Snow cones are ok. They really need to put a sign up where they take your order, notifying you that you will be in the drive through a minimum of 20 minutes waiting on your kids snow cone.... read more

We went inside and ordered. We waited a solid 20 minutes only to have them ask what we ordered again because somehow it didn't get communicated. They still got one of the four flavors wrong and forgot the umbrella on another. The kids were thrilled and happy but the other two lacked flavor. I don't know if I will go back. read more

Friendly, clean, and fast. I had the açaí bowl and it was a homerun. I definitely will be returning.

Was closed due to staff shortage when I visited. New closing time appears to be 4pm according to the signs posted.

It's honestly a miracle how this place stays open because they only sell about three snow cones an hour considering the wait time to get one

I am a die hard bahama bucks fam, but the Waco location is the worst bahama bucks I have ever been to. I feel bad because they are so understaffed, but it seems like the establishment itself is falling apart. Smells bad, looks gross, ice wasn't even soft like very other location I have ever been to. Every time I've been the drive thru line was either 10 cars long with an hour wait or the snow cone isn't even remotely what you asked for. I ordered a bahama Rama mama , but they were out of ice cream, so I ordered my sno with just tropic cream.. they forgot to put it on there and when u asked them to, the employee said "I mean, do you want it?" Yes! I paid for it! He poured tropic cream on it, the stuff got everywhere, and he just threw my small snow cone into a large cup. I laughed out because this is comical for me. Wish the best for those two kids working all by themselves here. read more

Bahama Buck's - not even the same texture as their sno - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Waco, Texas

Kids working by themselves essentially just understaffed and chaotic won't be trying again

This place is slow and I mean SLOW. We waited 30 minutes for 2 sno cones, and 2 drinks. Had to go ask several times about our order. I also asked about DYE FREE options and the kid taking my order asked me what that was..... to add to that I had to repeat my order 4+ times before he finally got it all down. read more

My wife and I brought our kids to enjoy some shaved ice. We went at 4/29 at about 8:00pm. The ladies working were very kind and were very efficient with their service!!! 10/10 would recommend!!! It was a great experience! read more

I have gone to this bahama bucks twice now. The first time I waited 30 minutes just for them to tell me that they were out of shaved ice. The next time I waited for literally 45 minutes for us to pull up to the window and get the wrong order. They did fortunately give us mostly the correct order when we asked. Tbh not worth it just go to sonic. read more

One star for the delicious snow cone, very soft with lots of syrup. Super slow service though, it took 50 minutes to get one snow cone with 2 different flavor syrups. Drive through only and there was no sign showing that the doors were locked and that there was no inside service. When we got to the window, the girl was very blasé with little to no greeting or acknowledgement of the almost hour long wait. Workers were chit chatting inside sipping their own drinks while slowly making one drink at a time. We could see our drink made and ready the whole time we were sitting at the window and still had to wait 15 minutes before we got our drink. read more

They're always "out of shaved ice" today was my fourth time going and they had a sign saying out of ice everytime. Isn't snow cones the main thing they sell but they're out of ice? read more

I ordered a plain- regular size birthday cake, not birthday party, and I got a Large with Sprinkles and no cream. The employee was initially rude about it, but offered to remake it. There didn't seem to be any organizational order to how things were being done as multiple cars' drinks were sitting on the counter and melting, but the kids in front of us had been waiting for over 20 minutes and I got my drink before them. Sprinkles wouldn't kill me, so I kept what I was given and left. read more

So many flavors!!!!!! I love the easy going feeling that's there! They have bathrooms. They have loyalty cards. Lots of napkins. We got served pretty quick :) read more

Waited 45 min for 2 drinks with only one car in the drive thru ahead of us :) girl inside touched everything including money and the ice with the same set of gloves on so there's that. Good drinks though ‍ read more

I've been to the bahama bucks in temple, newley opened. it takes half the time as this one does, and the line in temple is twice as long. I waited 45 minutes and 3 cars were in-front of me. Another thing I always get cucumber piccadilly. And this one just tasted off. Ice was crunchy. The people working in there were making disgusted faces. AND THEY DIDNT GET ME AN UMBRELLA! One more thing, my friend got a birthday cake, it was drowned it in syrup, there was more syrup than ice. This was no "Mini vacation" I do not recommend this place. Never coming again. read more

The snow cones are delicious don't get me wrong but last time I went I waited a good 30 minutes and only one car moved up and let's not forget the time before that when they ran out of ice read more

The absolute best cherry limeade you'll ever drink. The snow-cones are great. A wide variety of flavors, smoothies, etc.. nothing like a sweet/sour drink on a hot Texas day! read more

Did not get my order right and the ladies were just talking the entire time and messing around. It seemed like they didn't know what to do

I'm a lover of shave ice. Pretty obsessed, really. When my sister told me that there was a place nearby that sells it, I knew I had to visit! Okay, im going to get the cons out first because it didn't sit right with me. One of the (few) things that really threw me off was the smell of the place. I understand with their huge selection of syrups, smells can mix. However, this smelled like dirty mop or something along that line. I also stumbled across a dead cricket just chillin on one of the tables. My sister purchased 5 of those shave ice. We sat down and waited. While looking around, I saw that the place offers punch/stamp cards. I asked if she had one and when she said no, I told her I'd go get one for her. I took the receipt up (to show proof that stuff was purchased) and whoever the girl was talkin to over the headset must've tried to tell her not to because the girl replied with, "she was the woman from earlier" She then proceeded to tell me that it's good that I brought he receipt because they only give out stamps the same day of purchase. First off, it would not even have been an issue if it was presented to my sister after she purchased 5 cups. Second, WE DIDN'T EVEN LEAVE THE STORE yet I was given the "it's a good thing you-" it's not MY job. This shows that they don't pay attention to their customers. So, on the good side. There was a lot of parking. There were over 20 flavors to choose from and they serve smoothies and other refreshing beverages. The sugar free syrups suck. I hope our next visit will be better in customer service. read more

I love this place but literally. They have like 16 yr olds running it. Super slow so don't go unless you have plenty of time and patience

I got the iced limeade and it was too sweet and not tangy enough. On the other hand the blue raspberry snow cone with cream was delicious and it came with a little blue umbrella. Then my daughter ordered some frozen frappuccino thing and she loved it! read more

This place was good! My girlfriend and I shared a small sour watermelon with cream. It was a little too sugary for my liking, but I'm sure it's a fantastic trip for the summer. I'd have to say that it's a weak four stars, but that is due to the fact that it simply doesn't compete with the Sno Beach in Austin. read more

The best shaved ice I've ever had! The snow is soft and practically melts in your mouth! I had a strawberry daiquiri bahama mama and it was delicious. They put ice cream in the bottom of it and some sort of delicious cream on top of the snow cone, well worth my dollar extra! Fun building. had some random xgames video playing but no sound. Outside patio is nice except when it's extra hot or the Waco bird plague hits. My only complaint is that, occasionally, if you come in right before close the staff can be kinda grumpy. But I can generally understand why as the few times that has happened I've come in about 15 minutes before close and people sometimes just have bad days. The times I've come during earlier times the staff has been awesome and often times really fun! All in all, great place! I do prefer the snow cones to the smoothies though! read more

After waiting in the drive through 20 min i gave up and left. Ridiculously slow.

We love Bahama Buck's! We've been coming to Waco to visit family for years and the last few times we've been to Bahama Buck's. We are used to shaved ice from our hometown but this is waaaaaaaaaaay better. The ice is so finely shaved that it tastes smooth and creamy and it just melts in your mouth instantly. So many flavors to choose from, friendly staff, and quick service. Bahama Buck's is a MUST on each visit to Waco. I would definitely recommend it to ANYONE traveling through the area. read more

Best snow cones, fun snow balls, just need to step up their communication skills! Rarely answer the phones when you need to order, and obviously don't leave, write, or answer messages! But again, the best, and seem apologetic about those situations we've run into this summer! read more

I imagine that it's hard to find people right now so I give this place all the grace I can...this is one of my few pregnancy cravings and their snow cones are the best. Most of the ones in town taste like Splenda so I happily drive the 15 minutes when there's two other places in between. However, don't go if you have somewhere to be. If there's a car or two in between you and your order, it might be 5-10 minutes. If there's a handful, more like 20-30. More than 5 and you'll wait well over 30 minutes!!! I think it would be worth raising prices here to get the right amount of people here. read more

Absolutely love this place! Best snow cones/shaved ice on the planet! So many flavors, options for cream, and are made perfect! They make sure flavoring is put in all through the snow- not just poured on top. Service is always fast, friendly and make the experience great. To top it off the prices are great and you get a punch card that allows you to earn a free snow! read more

I do like the shaved ice and when we've been in the area shopping we've stopped here two or three times. It is not as clean as I would hope places would be. That is my first biggest deterient of going there more often. The customer service was great the first time. I wish I could remember the lady's name, but she was very attentive and polite. The second time was slow and employees were not really welcoming... it was like they didn't want to be there and were just going through the motions. Third time, some awkward relationship triangle between the cashier and the guy who came in behind us. She kept whispering we can't be seen here together... apparently she was so caught off guard by his presence she messed up our order. We stood waiting for four cups when she had only put us down for 3 cups (but we didn't know this ... until after 20-30 minutes of us standing (only ones in line - besides the guy) There were three or four workers that night. Just not a real cohesive bunch. I wouldn't really recommend this location unless you are a diehard fan of Bahama Buck's and are willing to wait OR do not care your order is hit or miss and have to recommunicate it. read more
