If I'm craving a sno-ball, this is where I go. The ice is always smooth, there is plenty of juice,…read moreand there's a bunch of flavors to choose from. They also serve chips, nachos, pickles and some candy. Sometimes there is a long line because it is directly across the street from the Chalmette High School baseball and softball fields, but they work pretty quickly to get everyone served. There are several tables to sit at and enjoy your sno-ball or you can upsize your cup to take it with you in your car.

My wife got out to get our snowballs we were rushing to get home. I usually get Spearmint with condensed milk, and the wife gets different combos every time. I wanted a kiddy sized cup since i can't have allot or i get sick but they only had 2 sized cups neither small, but it was ok because it was really good. They make most if not all of there own syrups and have a large variety to choose from. There ice was pretty good, i like mine a little finer but still pretty good. It had a great flavor and my wife loved hers. I heard they make a good Chocolate snowball. I would recommend them when your in Chalmette i would have given 5 stars but the lack of Small sized cups and parking can be an issue if there is a game or event going on.

I love this place. This is my first time and I was not prepared for how cool it looks inside. It's…read moredefinitely got the snoball stand vibe, but also old school movie theater and circus combo. Their syrup is house made and you can tell. I went with the mandarin basil flavor. They have the option to spike it to make it boozy and of course I did. I went with vodka, but they have pretty much whatever alcohol to complement whatever flavor you going with. The owners are in there working and they are amazing. So run don't walk and go get a snoball. They also have a cool thrift shop next door. Win win.

I'm writing this as a real fan because Chance in Hell is easily one of the most creative and…read moreflavorful snoball stands in the city. Everybody always says Hansen's is the best, but I'm sorry... they just can't compete with Chance in Hell, no matter what anyone says. Handcrafted syrups, quality ingredients, and that ice... listen. If you're really from New Orleans, you KNOW the difference between a snoball and a snow cone. That ice is so fine, so soft, it literally melts in your mouth. You really be like, "What ICE?!" It's up there, for real. And the space? Baby... it's a whole experience. Perfectly curated to their brand. Very show-stopping, very show girl, all the drama in the best way. It's beautiful, it's fun, it's a vibe. It is more on the pricier side. With the quality of the Snoball. The difference is in the details. Honestly, they're one of the main reasons we surviving this heat. There really is a Chance in Hell lol.

Traditionally, when my family & I visit New Orleans, LA, we have to stop at this joint on the way…read moreout--it's a great treat on the road. Their sno-balls are a taste of Nola in a cup. I always almost NEVER know what I want, but end up gettings nachos with jalapenos, a large nectar punch sno-ball with condense milk. One thing I love about this spot is they are not modest when it comes to the amount of syrup and flavor that comes on the sno-balls. The Original Sno-ball gives TRUE meaning to it's name with so many flavors to choose from, hot food (po boys, etc.) & so much more. The line moves quickly and the staff is friendly. Parking may not be plentiful but patrons are moving in and out of the lot so you are bound to get a spot. If you haven't tried this place out yet, don't miss out.

It's been a long time since I've been here so I was excited for my recent visit. The service was…read morequick but the prices were surprisingly high for two small snowballs- 1 with an ice cream add-on was $9- seems a bit high in my opinion. I understand the economy is rough but is the price of ice really that much higher? Additionally, the flavoring was a bit stale. I hate that I don't have a rave review as this place is so nostalgic for me. I had a pineapple with pina colada and soft serve.

Another snowball season is upon us, so once again my boyfriend and I are sampling as many Westbank…read moresnowball stands as we can. Why should the Eastbank have all the fun? We started this journey last year and, now that the stands are open again, we wasted no time exploring what the Westbank has to offer. D suggested this little stand in Belle Chasse that I didn't even know existed. Apparently it's located right next door to the famed Big Jake's sandwich shop, which is super convenient if you're in the mood for something sweet after enjoying your Big Jake burger. This stand is cash only and has a pretty diverse menu. I got a rainbow snowball (my fave) and D got a king cake snowball. Right away I knew we had a problem: the ice was chunky and this snowball was seriously lacking syrup- you can even see it in my picture. However, I didn't think that my snowball was all that bad, even though it did start to lose flavor towards the end. D didn't even finish his and said that it tasted nothing like king cake. Meh. There's some picnic tables under a covered porch for sitting on warmer days. While I wouldn't skip this stand if I was in the area, it wouldn't be my first pick for a snowball.

as long as I've been a NOLA resident I had never had the pleasure of having a snowball! Unheard of…read moreI know! Today I was lost and stopped for directions and just so happen I was here! It was meant to be! I had my first snowball ever! And when I tell you it is AMAZING!!!!! So amazing that I didn't want to take a ferry to my destination & I didn't even mind because I have a snowball! if ur in the area I highly recommend this place!
