Delicious and delectable sweet treats! I have had a classic sno-cone and recently I had one of their coffee drinks, and both were delicious! I always get good service here, and the prices are very reasonable. Be aware that they have a $5 minimum to use a debit/credit card, if your order is less than that you need to use cash. read more

Bud's Sno-Balls - Elotes - Shaved Ice Near Me - Bedford, Texas

I went to Bud's every summer as a kid and really enjoyed a recent visit. The place is under new management and has brought back the classic no nonsense menu and flavors (like my favorite Dreamcycle). The service was very kind and polite and fast. It was the perfect snack for a hot summer day. read more

Bud's was a staple of my childhood, and since we happened to be in the area, which rarely happens, I wanted to share the magic that is a Tootsie Roll snow cone with my kids. I was interested to see that Bud's had been remodeled when we pulled up, what was l not interested to see was the new menu, sans Tootsie Roll snow cones. We ended up with cherry and wedding cake cones, since the flavors are very limited, and they were...fine. And I'm sure all the hipster teas and smoothies they now serve are...fine. The 3 rating is based on the snow cones we had, nothing bad, nothing special. Definitely sad to see another childhood favorite gone. 5/5 would not drive out of my way to come back since the snow cones are the same as you can get at every other snow cone stand and most other places have more choices. Bummer. read more

We went to get my dad a snowcone yesterday, and specifically asked for a "Sugar Free" watermelon because my dad is diabetic. We get home with it, my dad kept asking "Are you sure this is sugar free?" I kept telling him yes, because that's what I ordered, "Sugar Free" Little bit later, after he finishes the snowcone, he didn't feel good. He checked his blood sugar and it was almost 500 (normal is 80-120) NO THEY DID NOT GIVE ME SUGAR FREE LIKED I ASKED FOR!!! Listen to what your customers order, people! read more

This is my favorite Snow Cone stand ever - from the cute little building with year round twinkling Christmas lights and funny signs to the extensive yummy flavors and add-on options. They offer almost 100 flavors with several sugar free flavors, Jubilees which is fresh fruit blended in and the option of a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream. They have some pretty crazy flavors that I would never try like Pickle Juice, Toxic Waste and Bug's Life. But, what I have tried is the perfect frozen treat - Tiger's Blood, Strawberry Daiquiri and Banana are super yummy! but my favorite is the sugar free Blackberry Jubilee with real fruit blended in. The prices are also awesome SM (2.75) M (3.00) L (3.25) with add-ons an extra .25 -1.00. Good thing my Sister lives down the street from this place cause otherwise I would have no reason to be in Useless er Euless, TX. read more

Oh, I love snow cones. I am not really picky when it comes to sugary ice. That is why I am so sad to say that all the flavors I've tried at Bud's are a huge disappointment. I have tried a wide variety of flavors throughout the last couple of years, with and without sugar, and I have never liked any of them. I decided to give them one more try this past week, and I ordered the sugar free pina colada flavor. First, the snow cone doesn't have a rounded top like in other places, the ice didn't even reach the top of the cup, which after trying the flavor didn't make much of a difference anyway because it went straight in the trash. It tasted like the juice that accumulates in the bottom of a trash can. Go to SnoCo on Pipeline! Better service and better tasting flavors. read more

Apparently, you cannot smoke on the side of the building away from everyone. I will not return. The manager was professional in approach but the Worker was not. I will not be talk to by children That way. Edited - you don't the air outside. And I Didnt cuss at them. You really should talk to your employees to learn to respect adults. Ps not like it matters. The snow cone place down the road way better. I'm glad it happen read more

Wow. This was my childhood go to. I wanted to make it the same for my children. The service was fine but the remodel and flavors, along with the new added items are such a disappointment. This isn't Austin or Seattle... Bud's is a staple of Bedford and Bud would be sad to see it this way. read more

Had my first visit to Bud's yesterday - have passed it for years but always go to the little sno-cone shack on Central in the Big Lot's parking lot. The flavor list here is definitely expansive but when I got my cone I was disappointed in the texture of the ice - it wasn't shaved, I was chipped or something more like a sno-cone you would get at a ball game or something. I got half watermelon and half blue coconut - flavors were as expected but now after reading others reviews it sounds like I should've gotten the strawberry shortcake. Maaaaybe I'll go back and try that...but I really prefer a place with shaved ice that just melts in your mouth - this has a lot of texture if that helps anyone else out there - if that's your thing, you will love it! read more

This is definitely our favorite spot for sno-cones in the h/e/b area! Growing up in Hurst, I was here ALL the time. From when I was super young until late high school when we would play concerts here. You see... a sno-cone stand is SO much more than just a place! It's a place to be with friends, to hang out, and to do life together. Bring JOY to people! The flavors here are awesome, the owner is super-nice, but the FUN makes everything come together! I love this place. I will always love this place. read more

This sno cone stand cannot be beat.. Its one of my fond memories of growing up in the hurst area, plus nothing was more satisfying after a round of golf at the par 3 sotogrande golf course than hitting up bud's afterwards. Tons of flavors to choose from great to take the kids to grab a treat.. If you wanna feel like a kid again and your are in the south HEB area I strongly reccomend it read more

We often stop here in the summer for a quick cool down. Lots of flavors and they don't skimp on the ice or flavoring. Well priced also. Actually headed there in about an hour with my daughter since it's the last day of school! I also enjoy a place where we can sit and enjoy our treat without having to deal with the smell of smoke, i'm sure many of us appreciate that. read more

Bud's Sno-Balls is the kind of hidden gem, which adds to your appreciation for small neighborhood spots like this. Often while I have been here, the owner has come by to say hi and make sure everything is OK. The selection here is expansive and my favorite is the strawberry shortcake with real strawberries and whipped cream. Delicious and recommended. read more

Been going here since I was in Jr High/High School (over 20 yrs) and have always had a good experience. Their snow cones are very tasty and they have so many awesome flavors to choose from and good prices. I'm happy that this place is still going so that I can take my own kids here now as a special treat. read more

The manager is nothing but professional and the staff is very friendly. It's a great place to take my nephew because he loves anything sugary and everyone is so nice to him. I will definitely come back to support this place as I hope many more people will! read more

Decided to stop here with the fam while in Bedford and enjoyed the atmosphere. Really nice seating area and the girl working that night was very nice. I will definitely be stopping by here again when I'm in town. Sweet!! No pun intended. read more

Pffff what is there to say its the best snowcone stand in Texas period....great flavors, atmosphere, prices, and people watching!! The strawberry shortcake snowcone is to die for. Love Buds!! read more

This is not my favorite snow cone stand it is just a back up they do not have good crushed ice or snow cones

Great service! Huge selection of flavors! They have fresh fruit ones, so yummy!! Will definitely be back!!

It took 30 minutes for them to make my snow cones there was only 3 people in front of me the snow cones are good but they are just so slow

Purchased a sugar free snow cone as I have done many times before, however, this time the product was actually rotten. Spoke with the gentleman that stated he was the owner and 2 of his employees and was told I couldn't have my money back that once I bought it, it was mine. Not a reputable place and a poor business decision to not stand behind their product. Never purchased less than 3 large snow cones and minimally once a week. Shame on you...think of all the little children that are being duped by you and your rude help. Narcia read more

I call this my "second favorite" snow cone. It might be my favorite except for two things. 1- their ice isn't as smooth as other places and 2. their coconut & cream tastes strange (my ultimate favorite is coconut w/ extra cream). My husband's family lives near by, so I come here to get my "fix". We don't have snow cones where I live, so I eat one almost every day when we come to visit. I usually get a medium in a large cup so it doesn't drip everywhere (secret tip!). My favorites are black cherry or grape. Like the other reviewer said, their prices are pretty reasonable when compared to other places. Also, be sure to get their customer card- you will get one free after 9 cones (I think). Pickle + snow cone= delish! Give them a try soon =) read more

I wait can hardly wait for spring and summer and the main reason is snow-cone season. I've seen bud's for years but never stopped. So one Saturday out with some friends we stopped. I got my standard Pineapple/Blue coconut. I was never so disappointed. To start with they are one of the pricier stands that I have been to and that day I got the driest snow cone I have had in years. I don't know if the syrups were watered down or they are just skimpy on the flavoring but based on that snow cone I won't be back, there are better cones down the street. I did like the idea of a punch card but mine went in the trashcan along with that snow cone when I got home. Funny I let it sit on the counter for about 20 minutes before throwing it away and it still was dry and flavorless. read more

My husband loves to frequent sno-cone / sno-ball locations during the hottest months of the year. I was never a big fan, because my experience as a child told me that I was going to have a big cup of shaved ice and hardly any flavoring. But he dragged me to Bud's Sno-Balls the first day it got to 108 degrees this year and I was first of all amazed by the expansive list of flavors! It took me a while to decide, but I ordered Monkey's Blood on a whim. He got Tiger's Blood. The prices were fair, and the wait isn't very long. I tried his, and it was great! Monkey's Blood was good too, but I really enjoyed Tiger's Blood. They're both fruity and red. They put plenty of flavoring in the Styrofoam cups and give you a spoon and a straw, because when it's that hot and you're a slow drinker (me) it turns into a drink pretty quickly. I've read that other people weren't a fan of the ice used here, but I thought it was just fine. My husband contends that Bud's is much better than Al's (Central). read more

Bud's is like a diamond in the rough. My grandparents used to live near the stand, so I've literally been going there for like 25 years. The syrup they use is incredibly tasty, and they have many flavor options. Barbie, Polar Punch, Tigers Blood, Lemon Lime, and Dreamsicle are some of my favorite flavors. It would be nice if the ice was a little more finely shaved, but it doesn't bother me that it's not. I don't go anywhere else for my sno-cones! read more
