Despite being an ice cream shop, it's surprisingly spacious with a decent amount of seating available. The ice cream was excellent. I especially appreciated that the flavors weren't overly sweet, which is exactly how I like my desserts. I highly recommend the Banana Foster flavor. It has real chunks of banana throughout and a subtle hint of rum that adds great flavor without being overpowering. Overall, it's a hidden gem that's definitely worth seeking out.

This week's snowball was a medium Chai cream flavor with ice cream in the center. I love an iced chai so this really was that but with lagniappe. I could say I would've liked a little stronger chai flavoring but overall it was tasty and really hit the spot/ cooled me off. The service was decent- teenagers doing their summer job. Nothing to complain about at all. I'll be back because like I said...

Whether you get a classic cherry or something fun like a rainbow mix, each one is made with care and always hits the spot, especially on a hot day. They even have a great little selection of snacks and treats, which my family loved! What really makes this place shine, though, are the sweet teenage girls who work there. Every time we visit, they greet us with genuine smiles and kind hearts. They are so patient and friendly, even when the line is long. One moment that absolutely melted my heart: one of the girls saw how excited my 3-year-old granddaughter was about her rainbow snowball and actually let her come around to the back to help make it. It made her whole day! She felt like such a big girl and hasn't stopped talking about it since. That small act of kindness meant so much to us. If you're looking for delicious snowballs and an experience full of charm, kindness, and small-town warmth, you have to stop here. We'll be coming back all summer long!

There's a few outlets up on the walls by seating area. Free parking lot around the store because it's in a plaza. There's 5 tables with a bunch of colorful chairs around. Got the Cracker Jack affogato sundae. It wasn't my style though, strong caramel flavors with some crunch from the caramel popcorn and peanuts. The espresso and ice cream was refreshing together though (good combo). I think I'd rather try the smores but that's prob bc I'm a more chocolate and crunch person.

The lady working was really nice and answered all my questions about the funky named flavors. She even let me sample a couple. I got the pink squirrel- one of their cream flavors which is a mix of nectar and strawberry(?). It was a perfectly cold sweet treat. I'm still not too sure what nectar is but I agree, this cream flavor was good.

When you mix in that it is a timeless destination in Metairie, then it makes it all the more special. Sal's is quick, has a taste for just about any palate, and is super affordable. While the lines might look long, they go quickly and everybody's happy. So don't let the crowd be daunting to you and saunter up to the order window. Sizes from the very smallest to the very largest never run you more than a few bucks and the flavor combinations are endless. Service friendly and the atmosphere is joyful, so find a stump to have a seat and just enjoy. This is a place that is very special to my wife, who grew up just down the street, and who has spent many, many summer nights here. I was lucky enough to have her share Sal's with me and one sno-ball later, I was very happy. P.S. I still call them snow cones. Fight me.

I actually gave Droopy's another try and it's been my favorite place. Their ice is very fine and like ice cream. Lines are busy during the summer of course but they start slowing down around august-till close. I wish they would have some more sugar free options for snowballs but other than that they're doing just fine!

It was their original droopy flavor, stuffed with vanilla ice cream and topped with whipped cream and Oreos. Wowwwwwww! The "droopy" flavor really is hard to explain, but it's so delicious. We stood in line for about 20 minutes. It was raining, but they had umbrellas at the front so I was able to shield myself from the rain. Really really really loveeeee this snowball. You 100% have to go just to experience it for yourself. The line is worth it.

Anyway, she was not the friendliest branch on the tree. The ice cream was no better the Baskin Robbin's and they had NO Butter Pecan. The waffle cone (homemade) was sweet.
