    Great experience. Like area roped off as in a busy parking lot area. Cashier was very friendly and helpful. Pelicans has the smoothest shaved ice around. I only gave 4 stars because mine was more on ice than flavor side- I got Mojito. Kids loved theirs. I like the tons of options. I need to try an add on next time. Wearing masks and signs to keep distance. See you soon!

    I love going here on hot days! They have small pup cups for my fur kid and he appreciates a small dollop of whipped cream on top. Personally, I have been working my way through the menu and have been rating the flavors as I go. Typically, I opt to have one sour flavor alongside a sweet for variance. If the flavor isn't already sour then I simply add the sour spray. Pro tip- always buy the pelicans bucks as it's a sure fire way to make sure you go back and you're saving $5 each time. Thus far my favorite flavors are sour spray on watermelon and sour tsunami but the combinations are limitless!

    Cute little spot on the edge of Tega Cay and Fort Mill. Perfect spot for a post church treat or any hot day. Loved the shady spots under the trees and picnic tables with checkerboards, bubbles and corn hole. There are a million flavors and lots of suggestions. The local special like the Nations Ford High School, Panthers, Hornets and Many more are adorable, along with the treats for doggies (peanut butter and/or vanilla).

    My daughter was impressed with her Unicorn and butterly gummy. Huge list of options. Love that there is dye free syrup too. Coconut cream is a nice touch. Keep washing those tables to keep the bees away.

    We love this place. The shaved ice is just like snow. Then you get to choose from over 100 different favors. Kids - $1.75 Medium - $2.25 Large - $3.00 Avalanche - $4.00 All seating is outdoors. They have sidewalk caulk, hoola-hoops, cornhole, chess, checkers & bubbles for the kids. Great family atmosphere. There is always a line but they move pretty fast. Opened from noon - 9pm daily. We strongly recommend this place.

    I am a believer! All the other comments set high expectations for this location but Pelicans surely delivers! A lot of colors and fun games to do while you wait like corn hole and hula hoops! They are inexpensive, I'm talking $3.00 for a regular which is about the size of a red solo cup. They have a huge selection of flavors like one for every day of the year! All of the employees are friendly and welcome you instantly. It's kept neat, even for an outside attraction. A nice tree to keep you cool and shaded sits in the middle of the lot. A lot of options for people who are sugar free or gluten and fat free. There is something for everybody EVEN DOGS! Get your dog a treat for $1! There is a size for kids to keep them happy and toppings to perfect your snowball. This place is absolutely amazing.

    My first time eating a Pelican's SnoBall. I have definitely heard of them before. With more than 100 flavors that can be a little overwhelming for your first time, but who doesn't want options? I ended up getting POG flavor which was Pineapple, Mango, Guava, and Orange. It was yummy and this place is definitely kid friendly with outdoor games to play while you are there. Service was quick and friendly.

    They would not change gloves after picking up food off the floor!!!

    I arrived at this location 4/9/17 at about 5:15 pm and waited in like about 10minuets. When I arrived to the window to order one of the workers (a blonde in her mid 40's) picked up some chocolate chips off the floor (with her gloves on) and moved some of the glass containers in which the syrup is stored to a nearby sink. She returned to her station and I requested that she changed her gloves (as she would be touching all the ice on any snow ball made) however she refused! Not only is this rude as I may also have food allergies but also VERY unsanitary.

    The cute butterfly gummies always completes my snow cone

    I love Pelicans! They have so many different flavors to choose from. They also have a very cute outdoor set up which is great for kids. I just wish they were open later then 9!

    My son enjoying his rainbow snoball! So yummy!

They are so unique and delightfully surprising! They were such a hit at our wedding and brought a unique element. Not only can you chose between amazing flavors, but you can also customize the names of the signature flavors that you pick out! They were so professional, confident, personable, and such a pleasure to work with! They were so great with my husband and I, making sure they were set up the way we wanted and so great with our guests! Our flavors we chose were amazing and you can tell the difference with the flavors that they use! They are all organic and you can DEFINITELY tell! I have to say my favorite was the strawberry mojito and the watermelon with ICE CREAM!!! It was delicious! We will definitely be using them again for future events! They made us feel like family and they were so nice and wonderful to work with! Love love LOVE Southern Snowballs!

It sits in a neighborhood where there is a train track running parallel to it. There is a home right beside it that is in disrepair and not kept up. Just an eye sore more than anything. The business itself is nice and clean with a pretty big patio space to enjoy your treats. There are a couple children's tables and a game on the patio as well. There are LOTS of flavors to choose from and ways to customize your treat with toppings, ice cream, etc. I had the coconut cream and the flavor was AMAZING! My daughter and granddaughter also really enjoyed their flavors as well. They give law enforcement and military a discount when in uniform, which I love. They also have pup cups! Great addition to Thomasville! Will definitely be back!

We went on grand opening day, to be honest the staff kept up with the line very well! They were polite & very helpful with the menu. You pay at the first window (to the front of the building) then you walk with your receipt to the side window to pick up. The shaved ice was a lot more flavorful than I expected which was a pleasant surprise! *Pro tip* The regular size is more than enough for two people, so you can certainly be thrifty if need be! I love how many flavors are offered, and I believe I even saw where they have sugar free options! That will work great for many who are trying to keep honest in their diets but allow a little fun in their meal planning. I did show military ID, but didn't receive a discount ( I think the young lady was just trying to keep up with the line & doing her best- it slipped her mind which is totally fine). I just love that it's even an option! Great grand opening, I can't wait to try more flavors!

This location had a large table for a group as well as some smaller tables for a few people. There were also some tables outside. The interior was decorated cutely. In terms of service, the workers were friendly but my drink took a little longer than I expected to come out... like it was ready after a bunch of other people got their orders (who were behind me in line), so that was interesting. I got the Banana Pudding Matcha Latte! This was on their seasonal menu so I definitely wanted to try it. It either came in matcha or espresso form, but the worker recommended matcha to me. Upon the first sip, I definitely tasted the matcha. It was a bit earthy tasting, but not the earthiest I have had. After I mixed the drink together (little pushing the vanilla wafers down to breakdown into little pieces), the banana pudding taste really came through. I am not a fan of matcha, but I enjoyed the drink... probably because the banana pudding flavor overpowered the matcha flavor after mixing everything thoroughly. If you like matcha, then this is your go-to spot in Charlotte! There is probably something most people would like here as they also have non-matcha options as well.
