This was my first time at Murray's my kids are always raving about it. There are a huge amount of flavor options and the portions are huge. I ordered a small and could have definitely been happy with the kiddie size. I got the cherry vanilla cola which had great flavor but I don't love my snow cones too syrupy. I would probably just ask for a little light on the flavoring next time. read more

Murray's Shaved Ice - Shaved Ice Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

Big servings and lots of flavors to choose from. They don't have spearmint any more so I was bummed but I'll go back

We randomly ended up coming to Murray's, but glad we ended up here! One of my favorite shaved ice spots now! The flavors we got were Cherry Soda and Pineapple Upside Down cake. Both were delicious! Very clean! Cute area! Friendly workers! Street parking! CAUTION! This is the second shaved Ice spot I went to in a week and both spots had a lot of bees! I guess Bees like the sweet smell of the syrups they use. read more

Murray's Shaved Ice - a hand holding two ice cream cones - Shaved Ice Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

There is not another Shaved Ice place in or anywhere near St. Louis that holds a candle to Murray's. They are the best Shaved Ice in all the land. AND they sell Pumpkins in the Fall and the freshest most beautiful Christmas Trees in the Winter. The tree prices and selection are amazing. Friendly banter at the window, a nice patio to sit and relax on. Perfect Shaved Ice experience. The flavors, and there are many, are vast and my personal favorite is the Hurricane. Try them, you will not regret it! read more

They desperately need to hire at least one more person. I live nearby so I come often and I have never had a wait less than 20 minutes, no matter the day or time. It's not because the line is backed up, it's because there's one person working. Until that is resolved, I'm not coming back because I always leave fuming/sweaty af. read more

My desire for shaved ice was rekindled with my most recent trip to Grant's Farm. It was a hot summer day and I knew some ice cold shaved ice would hit the spot. I got a strawberry shaved ice for family and the kids devoured it. I, unfortunately, was not impressed by the shaved ice experience and knew there had to be something better in STL. My Yelp search landed me at Murray's Shaved Ice. I went alone the first time to scope it out (well actually the kids were in bed, and I just really wanted some time alone and some shaved ice). Here's are some things noticed: - Like everyone has said there are so many flavors, some are straightforward, other's you'll need to ask "What is ____?" - The sizes may be misleading. They will be bigger than they seem because of the shaved ice ball they will add to the top of your cup. - They don't skimp on the syrup. I will probably ask for less syrup the next time around, if that is even possible. - There seems to only be street parking, which can be a bit of a pain. - If you pay with card, it's an extra 50 cent charge for each transaction. - There is limited seating, and watch out for bees/wasps. With there being so much sugar water drippings, there were some bees/wasps I had to watch out for. A great place for a cool treat in the summer. I've already come here again within a week of my first visit. read more

The girl working was so helpful. Shave ice was good and they have a bunch of flavors and options to choose from. it's on a main street so we parked right in front on the shop but it could easily be missed when driving by quickly. read more

Murray's Shaved Ice - Shaved Ice Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

If it's a warm day, or even a cool day, you need to get a shaved ice treat from Murray's. There are countless flavors to choose from including sugar-free to flavor-up your choice. This is not a snow cone, but shaved ice which is a different texture of smooth ice like cotton candy. The ladies are very friendly and helpful and take your order and put together your frozen treat with care. There are picnic style tables and seating to make yourself comfortable while you enjoy your frozen concoction. The place can get busy, so be patient in your wait and you won't be sorry. read more

Murray's Shaved Ice - Menu - Shaved Ice Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

This is probably the best shaved ice I've experienced in St. Louis. The ice is so fine (not pebbly) that it just melts on tongue contact. The mediums are giant, the smalls are giant- I can't imagine ordering anything larger (talk about sugar rush)! They are always served with a giant ball on top. You can ask for a lid, but then you are just missing out on another 3 inches of ice. Special flavors are extra flavors cost another quarter, but 2 flavors is always better than one. I've posted a menu from 2019 so you can see current prices and flavors. Parking on the street is available in front of the stand. However, I've parked in the service station next door (they are usually closed when the Shaved Ice stand is open). read more

Murray's Shaved Ice has the best-tasting shaved ice in the City! The Bomp Pop flavor is my favorite so far. They also have a nice outdoor seating area and offer a shaded, peaceful atmosphere. read more

Good Bye Ted, Hello Murray. Murray can satisfy my sweet craving with much fewer calories and fat. I've lived in the Lindenwood Park area for over 8 years and have never gone to Murray's Shaved Ice. I had no idea what I was missing. This is a great little mom & pop shaved ice shack. A perfect complement to our neighborhood. They offer a huge selection of flavors and I was pleased to see my two favorites were among them. I am very partial to wedding cake and dream-sickle. Six sizes are available from Kiddie all the way up to Murray's Monster. Prices are great too. The Kiddie is only $1.75 and the Monster is $4. Tax is included, making it so much easier for those out walking. Tonight I ordered a small Wedding Cake and it was just perfect. Totally refreshing treat for the walk home and to finish on the patio. A big bonus point or extra star for Murray's is that they offer Doggie SnoCones. They rotate the flavor between beef and chicken. That is so cool, my dogs love ice cubes as a treat and in their drinking bowl. Can't wait to see how they will react to chicken of beef flavored ice. read more

Murray's Shaved Ice - Shaved Ice Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

I've been coming here since I was little, probably going on 30yrs (of course it was under a different name/ownership but the newer owners use the same recipes). This place is still my favorite snowcone place in all of STL. I have never had a better snowcone anywhere else. If you want a good, cheap snowcone, I recommend here. Oh and they take plastic, it's just an additional 50¢ charge. read more

So happy we found this place! The service was quick and easy. Perfect treat on a hot summer day!! We will be back, soon!! read more

Murray's Shaved Ice - Island breeze large/ half eaten - Shaved Ice Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

After trying a few other shaved ice places, I finally made it to Murray's before they closed. The parking is a little tricky, but I found a spot. I ordered a small. At $3 I expected it to be the size of others in the area. It was HUGE! My go-to is Tigers Blood and this one didn't disappoint. The flavor wasn't too sweet, it was just perfect! There is quite a bit of syrup in the cup, but I'm a fan of that. If you're not, you might want to ask for light syrup. Over all 10/10. read more

Started this review July 2013. Might as well finish it. Could get it much more often, but I've proven I can have self restraint. I love shaved ice and as far as I'm concerned this is about as good as it gets. Seems reasonably priced, large selection of flavors, friendly service. Couldn't ask for much more. They even have a beef flavor for dog's. Our pug Oscar gives it a paws up for sure. Usually walk and eat it on the way back to our house, but the couple of tables are pretty sufficient, otherwise you can stand for a few minutes while you eat. Looking forward to many more visits here while living in the neighborhood. read more

The best shaved ice in south city! Big snow cones and great flavors! Our favorite hands down!

Great customer service. 10 out of 10 would recommend. All of the times I have been there the shaved ice was amazing.

This is the second year I've been coming here and its always a pleasure. Many...many....many different flavors to mix and choose from. The people here a very nice and the service is awesome. Murray's Shaved Ice has become and always will be my favorite shaved ice place in St. Louis. Go check them out, you will not be disappointed. read more

This place is amazing. So many choices and we all ordered something different. Everyone was happy. I highly recommend a cheesecake variant.

For her birthday, my wife wanted a simple meal: a cheese burger at O'Connell's and then Italian Ice. And this is when I learned that Italian Ice is a Chicago thing that we can't get here in St. Louis, where we are expats. Albeit, happy ones, but expats who miss Lou Malnati's Pizza, Portillo's hot dogs, and apparently Italian Ice. Enter Murray's. It is awesome. Not Italian Ice, but ice nevertheless. It's a stand on Watson road. And by stand, I mean a shed with windows. You pick your flavor from about 30 different combinations and a sweet syrup is sprayed onto the cup of ice. Insert straw and deliciousness is perfected. It's fun and we'll go again. read more

The best shaved ice in the city! The staff are very friendly and the flavors are delicious! Can't wait until the reopen for the season!!

A cute little stand! The price is right and there are a ton of options. There are also some sugar free options for those looking for them. read more

Murray's Shaved Ice - Sugar free watermelon snocone. This is the kiddie size (and was plenty for me) - Shaved Ice Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

By far the best shaved ice in the city. The sizes are enormous with so many choices in flavors and flavor combinations and very inexpensive. I suggest getting at least 2 flavors because these things are beautiful to look at. Epitome of what shaved ice should be! read more

Murray's Shaved Ice - Small blue raspberry and lime - Shaved Ice Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

Murray's is far and away THE snow cone experience in St Louis. It meets all the qualifications. Layering syrup and ice so that there's no dry spots? Check. Shape the top of the cone to make it a sphere? Check. Lots of ice, nice price? Check and check. It's even next to an auto body place, Murray's really couldn't get more authentic! Catering from their decorated trailer sets this place apart from the rest, even if the best snow cones in STL didn't do it for you already. Tropical Ice? More like exorbitant price. Snow Balls? More like bad call. At Murray's, there is no worries. read more

I've asked Murray's to join several events at Rooftop Church and they are ALWAYS A HUGE HIT. The team is easy to communicate while planning for the event and they always arrive early to set. They are great with handling a long line and the product is always A+. read more

Rainbow flavor Just like the original snow cone from the ice cream truck. Just much better and no freezer burn and more flavor. This was delicious and one kiddie cone is enough for two people without issue. read more

Best sno cones ever had. Personal favorites are charizard and alien. Prices are great. Type of ice is great. Perfect. read more

There are at least 4 sno cone places within a 1 mile radius. This one is LEGIT!! The prices are great, they give you plenty and they have more flavors than anyone around. This is hands down the best sno cone place I've ever been too! If only it were on the beach somewhere... read more

Best sno-cones in St. Louis. Try the coconut cream pie they're SOOO much better if you eat them there, and don't get them with lids for the car. read more

There are a lot of shaved ice stands around, and I am glad we tried this one, which happens to be the closest one to my house. For years, I've driven by without a clue of the awesomeness I've been missing! Their ice is shaved finer than the average shaved ice spot, which makes it a really good texture and blends better with the many flavors. Speaking of which - They have sooooo many flavors and creative combinations, very affordable and huge sizes. They got my business and I'll be back! read more

They put way to much syrup in the ice so it's super sugary but all in all it's pretty good. They have a whole variety of flavors.

Not much to say this is the BEST shaved Ice in the city I wish they were open year round. Hundreds of flavors and combination to choose from. Great sizes and portions full to the top with icy goodness read more

Dude. The besttttttttt shaved ice in StL. So much shaved ice for your money. They're not skimpy with the juice either. 10/10 would recommend. read more

I think shaved ice is the best way to beat the heat of summer. Its like ice cream without all the fat. A great shaved ice can not be beat. Murray's Shaved Ice is good not great shaved ice. A nice selection of flavors but I didn't see any additives, such as cream that you could add. Murray's is run out of a trailer (really a requirement for shaved ice) but unfortunately they do not have any good areas to sit and enjoy. There are a couple of tables with plastic chairs next to busy Watson road. Service is good. Very good hours (open until 10pm, unlike Kirkwood's TroMo) so it is the preferred late night Shaved Ice place in St Louis. read more

AMAZING! I tried the cherry bomb my first time there and wow! Blew my socks off! A friend suggested getting snow cones and I'm used to the crunchy ice balls. My first taste of "shaved" ice was mind blowing. I had a hard time deciding on a flavor as they have SO many. I tried to also figure out how often I'd need to visit to try them all and how much it was going to cost me :) The amount of Ice and Juice you get is awesome, your ice never turns white... they don't beat around the bush here! read more
