    Great service and great product to break the heat! Settled next to Buda City Park, this food truck serves up delicious treats. Whether it be snow cones, ice creams, lemonades, or whatever...they make it to order and make sure you're happy. I ordered several snow cones prior to a show at the park's amphitheater. I noticed as the team members followed up with each customer to make sure they were happy with their purchases. You will walk away pleased. I like the cool spoons they use as they change color with the temperature. These guys are in the right place, at the right time. Their products are refreshing and timely, but their smiles and service is the reason to go. Recommend.

    This little gem right past the middle of the town is a great place for a sweet tooth! On a chilly night, the hot chocolate was the perfect touch! The mini donuts were hot and fresh! Cinnamon sugar and delicious! My favorite was the Sin-Ville! Abuelitas meets a super cool grandma and it's a hot chocolate party!! Jake the owner was so helpful and gave great service!!!

    They have a huge topping selection, amazing flavors and the owner is super creative and comes up with some visually stunning and tasty combinations! We come every opportunity we get and always leave happy! You can see the passion they have for the snow balls!

    Sno Cones

    One of the best snow cones I've ever had honestly! The ice is smooth and flavors great. We got peaches and cream and grape with cream. Yummy!

    Mango picadilly and root beer float

    Great service, delicious snow cones with so many options! The cups with straws and spoons are a nice touch!

    Another snow-cone for the WIN. Today I ordered an epic Uni-cone and it was phenomenal! Customer service is consistently a priority here. Today the owners daughter checked me out and she was helpful, and pleasant to chat with. Thank you Snowballs Chance for yummy snow-cones and superb customer service!

    My kids loves the snowballs and the toppings. They had the rootbeer, cotton candy, and I had banana. The banana was sooooooo good. Definitely come and make this an after school treat for your kids. The bench tables have a placing for them too. Just be careful about the bees. Because of all the sweetness aka syrup they are flying around the door. The owner may consider figuring how to get rid of those bees before spring comes around and you have an increase in children with allergies.

    One of the best snow cones I've ever had. SUPER soft ice. The flavors are mild but rich. Not as overly sugary as most other snow cones. Very friendly staff. I will definitely be coming back a lot over the summer.

    Root Beer snow cone

    This place is awesome and the owner was so very friendly and welcoming. He gave the kids snowballs to throw around which of course they just loved! And the best part: the snow cones were delicious!! We got the banana cream with vanilla wafers (yum!) and the root beer. We'll definitely be going back on the regular.

    Louie's was the great surprise of our Austin-area barbecue safari. When we saw their location and…read moretrailer, we did not have high expectations, but the food was excellent. We ordered brisket, ribs, and sausage. Each was some of the best we enjoyed during our trip. Even the pickles were great. You order at the trailer and sit outside at picnic tables. This place is definitely a hidden gem.

    TLDR: Louie's BBQ serves solid, satisfying Central Texas barbecue with a Tex-Mex tilt and fair…read moreprices. An easy recommendation. Overview: Louie's BBQ is a small trailer operation tucked into a strip of shops in Buda, just south of Austin, where pitmaster Luis Vasquez has finally found the audience that eluded him in the city. The setup fits the small-town feel: a food truck that is a bit hidden, a casual lot, and a relaxed vibe that contrasts with the big-name Austin lines. Parking can be difficult. On my visit around 11:30, I had no trouble grabbing a spot in front of nearby shops, but you can see how it could get tight as the day goes on. There was just one person working during my visit, but the operation still felt efficient; my food was ready in about ten minutes. Food: The brisket was the best item on the tray. The slices were nicely moist with a good hit of beefiness, a noticeable but not overbearing smoke, and solid seasoning. The pork ribs leaned sweet, with a glaze that pushes in that direction without going candy-like. They were tender and well-cooked, easy to bite through. The sausage was also good: moist and seasoned well. Taken together, the meat lineup is consistent and enjoyable, but not destination-level. The sides show more personality. The pimento-style mac and cheese is very rich and extremely creamy, with a sweetness up front and a small kick underneath. The sauce is so thick that a single serving is plenty. The coleslaw hits a nice middle ground: creamy dressing, good crunch, and enough freshness to cut through the heavier bites. The tres leches corn is the most adventurous item I tried, a sweet creamed corn with cinnamon notes that leans dessert-ish. I am not convinced the concept fully clicks, but it is not bad, just more of a curiosity than a must-order. Dessert comes in the form of a banana-forward banana pudding with soft Nilla wafers. It delivers exactly what you expect and nothing more, which matches the theme of the meal: good, but not quite exceptional. On value, Louie's is top tier. With brisket at $34/lb, ribs at $22/lb, and sausage at $5-$6/link, it is well under many of the better-known spots in the greater Austin area, especially when you factor in that you are not paying with an hour in line. Portions are fair, and given the quality, it feels like an easy place to over-order without blowing up your budget. Final Thoughts: Louie's BBQ is not trying to be the next Franklin or a Texas Monthly pilgrimage stop, and that actually works in its favor. What you get is steady, well-executed barbecue, some fun, sweeter-leaning sides, and a bill that does not sting. I would not tell someone to plan an entire trip around it, but for folks in Buda or anyone already south of Austin who wants quality smoked meat without the big-city hassle, Louie's is one of the better stops in the area.

They were out of chicken so couldn't make a couple of the sandwiches, one which we wanted to try. Then we asked for another sandwich and they said they don't make that sandwich anymore and we must be looking at an old menu bc they "hadn't had that sandwich in a while". Ok, that happens, but we were looking at the menu on their own website. Oookkk. We asked what other sandwiches were available and they said 2-3 of the other sandwiches on the menu so we went with one of those. The total for 4 sandwiches was 59. That felt high to me but I know prices are up everywhere so I figured, if it's a good sandwich it'll be worth it. We showed up to pick up our order and they had a menu posted with a bunch of other options. I was annoyed now, bc the other options looked better than what I ended up ordering but he didn't mention any of those on the phone. Overall the sandwiches were just ok. Not enough filling for the bread and was dry. We ended up adding sauces at home. Overall I was disappointed and would not go back.
