Me and my wife went out of our way this week to get a snow cone from one of my favorite chains. This was Monday night (4/6) When we pulled up at around 8:05 we immediately just pulled around back to go through the drive thru. My mother in law had called right at that moment so we elected drive thru to keep on the phone with her. Long story short, when we finally left the drive thru line I had been on the phone for 49 minutes with my MIL. To add to it, once we were in line we were stuck, there were only 4 cars ahead, but it took nearly 50 minutes to get to the front, as soon as I got there I was rushed as if it was my fault. I saw other workers inside mopping so I guess they were closing early? Frustrating it took 50 minutes and there wasn't even an apology from the service. Probably wouldn't recommend going to this location on any weekday, doesn't look like you're going to be in and out very quickly, or at least park an walk in, the drive thru has no exits, so once you're in you're stuck. If you go in at least you can get a refund and leave before the take 50 minutes to put ice and flavor in a cup. read more

Unprofessional Management - Avoid This Location I would strongly advise against spending your money at this Bahama Buck's location. For a place that charges a premium compared to the local snow cone shacks in the area, you would expect a level of quality and professionalism that is clearly non-existent here. My experience was a comedy of errors from start to finish. It began with the staff taking the order incorrectly and serving a messy, dripping cup. When I asked for a simple fix, I was told I'd be charged for an extra cup. After they finally agreed to a remake, the second cone--a Blue Coconut and Strawberry Cheesecake--was missing the condensed milk that is standard for that build. When I pointed this out, they insisted on charging me again for something that should have been included the first time. The most egregious part was the wait. It took **15 minutes** to receive the corrected cone. Ten minutes into that wait, the staff actually had to ask me what I had ordered *again*. When I finally spoke to the manager, **Emma**, she was completely indifferent. When I asked why it took 15 minutes to produce a single snow cone, her response was simply that she "wasn't sure." As a manager, being unaware of why your workflow has ground to a halt is unacceptable. When I expressed that this was disrespectful of my time and that I would be following up with a formal complaint, she actually **laughed at me** as she walked away. I followed up the next day with "Renelle," who is above store management. While she apologized for Emma's behavior and promised to "discuss it" with her, there was no real attempt at service recovery or compensation for the ruined experience and wasted time. Between the lack of basic order accuracy, the agonizingly slow service, and a manager who thinks it's funny to dismiss a paying customer's concerns, I will not be returning. Do yourself a favor and support the two other local snow cone shacks in the area--you'll get better service for a fraction of the price. read more

This is a drive through only. Came in today to pick up an order and doors were locked. Worker just pointed at the drive through, I assumed the building would be open to the public during opening hours read more

The inside closed at 9! No mention of that in google. Had to eat outside in 95 degree weather.

The decoration in the store is very nice. The snow cones are good and predictable as well. Sugar free is good, just freezes the ice and changes the texture. I love that they have games inside for you to enjoy. However many tables were sticky and the floor was too. read more

I wanted a tigers blood snow cone but I also wanted the flavor of the mangonada extreme, so I combined them. Service in he drive through was quick, and that had to be the best snow cone I've ever had. What I appreciated most about it was that they layered the toppings throughout the cup so the mangonada goodness wasn't over as soon as you finished the "cone" part. I will definitely be coming back. read more

This is definitely a summer staple. As the Texas heat is almost unbearable Bahama Buck's will help keep you cool. We opted to park and walk inside, however there is a drive thru option. Once the weather warms up, I'm sure the outdoor patio will get lots of use. We ordered two mini and one large snow cone for 3 of us and could have easily shared one with the large portion sizes they offer. I like there is an option to add ice cream. We were celebrating the beginning of Spring Break so it was not yet packed so we were able to order and get our snow cones fairly quickly. The sprinkles on the Unicorn flavor is a must! The umbrellas really add a tropical vibe and looking forward to trying all their flavors this summer. read more

There's 7 staff members here today and We walked up to the register to place an order. No one says hello, smiles or acknowledges us for a good 7 mins. No one says one moment or anything they just look at us a keep talking and doing whatever it is they are working on. There was 1 other person here so they weren't busy just very rude. read more

The only reason I left a review is because the business encouraged me to leave a review instead of attempting to hear my concerns. In response to the store's response to my review. I was standing by the pickup counter because I had placed a to-go order. Other places I frequent (including other Bahama bucks) have similar setups, so my behavior was not peculiar. Since you don't allow pickup orders in the drive-thru, it would be helpful to place a sign indicating where orders should be picked up inside your store, rather than blaming me. Many restaurants/stores have pick up only stations- I am sure you know this. Additionally, my back was not turned; I wish I could see this video, because I vividly remember facing the work space. I stood at the pickup counter for a few minutes and was the only customer in the store at that time (I see you didn't provide the time I was at the pick-up counter-interesting). At least one of your staff members saw me, and while I can accept that some may not have noticed me, or there was no ill-will, and can accept your apology, the false information you shared is concerning. I don't understand why you would provide false information. A more helpful solution-focused response would've gone a long way. In the grand scheme of themes, I don't blame the staff, they are teens/young adults. It's the owner's response that is surprising. He is more interested in proving his point than hearing from his loyal customers. And that is evident in his responses to unfavorable reviews. Such a disappointment. Take care! Advise for better managing of concerns below: The response from the company was unprofessional and overly defensive. While they attempt to address your concern, their tone is dismissive and shifts blame onto you rather than taking full responsibility for the issue. Here are some problematic aspects: 1. Defensive Language - Phrases like "which was very peculiar" and "No one was ignoring you for any reason" seem accusatory rather than empathetic. 2. Unnecessary Detail - They provide an excessive breakdown of your movements rather than focusing on improving their service. 3. Lack of Genuine Customer Service - While they apologize, they also repeatedly emphasize that they've already apologized multiple times, which minimizes your concern. 4. Blame-Shifting - Instead of owning the miscommunication, they highlight how you didn't make eye contact or approach their staff, placing responsibility on you. A more professional response would be: "We sincerely apologize for the oversight during your visit. Our team strives to greet and assist every guest, and we regret that we missed you when you arrived. We appreciate your feedback and will use it as a learning opportunity to ensure all customers feel welcomed, even during busy times. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we hope to provide you with a better experience in the future." If you feel unsatisfied with their response, you might consider providing feedback about how their message made you feel or choosing to take your business elsewhere. read more

When it is 109* in Texas, this is the only relief. I love Bahama bucks. I try not to go every day. This service is what you'd expect from a hodgepodge of teenagers but it's a drive-through so mediocre is sufficient. The one thing I don't like is in the drive-through they ASK for a tip. I think that's absolutely ridiculous! A tip for what?! read more

Service was bad, ambiance was also bad, and we got two small snowcones and one smoothie for $22!!! Insane prices in my opinion, they both didn't have any flavor (I tried both). 0/10 read more

Fast, friendly service and the flavors are so good. I didn't expect to like the Dr Pepper Sno. It was so tasty!

Delicious and fast service!! First time at Bahama Bucks & I'm afraid I'll be back at least once again this week. So glad to have a location closer to the Southwest Suburbs. read more

I like it Soo good in the summer Who doesn't like Shaved ice cone Nerds and sour ones are my favorite read more

I LOVE Bahama Bucks. And I was excited that there is a location near me. Typically I go to the one in Arlington. I use to live around the corner from This location.. When I arrived I could barely walk because the floor was so sticky my sandals were sticking to the floor. And this is right at the entrance. Me and my boyfriend ordered and I tried the mangonada. I was really craving something sweet and sour. Received my item and my cup was super sticky like the floor. So of course I drank it down and tried to wipe around it. It was too messy to deal with. It's chamoy, tajin, syrup running down the cup. This was no issue. I asked the worker in front of me. " May I have an additional cup. Which I have asked many times before at separate locations and with a smile I'm given a new cup to double cup my drink. The man told me "there are cups at the front . So I walked to the front. And there were water cups. So I said excuse me sir May I have the same size cup because my cup is very sticky. He told me no. Or I could pay $0.50 or re cup it . I didn't want it recupped. I just wanted a cup so I could leave . He stuck his hand out and I handed him my drink . I kindly declined and asked just for a new cup. He told me no, he could re make it or give me a flat top or I could pay $0.50 ... at this point I'm so confused as to what the issue was with just giving me a cup so i could leave . Then he said I can wipe it off but I won't get an additional cup. I said no sir I don't want you to wipe my cup off ... clearly the rag is clearly used to wipe down the counter, or even for other cups. But no thank you. He offered to dump it in another cup. At this point I'm irritated, I asked for a refund. We glared at each other and he offered to remake it. My drink was literally perfect the cup what just unmanageable and him offering to remake it or dump it into a new cup just confused me because either was you are wasting the cup. Overall, my love for bahama bucks and typically great customer service changed and I don't plan on returning . read more

I just really can't believe that the staff is so rude for this to be such a delicious place for fun sweet drinks .. it's very aesthetically pleasing but the staff treating you like crap and the dirtiness of the lobby is just not worth it.. and it's only this location everywhere else is better but idk .. the employees really hate it here and it shows in their lack of customer service. read more
