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.

It's pretty simple: New Orleans can be warm and muggy for about half of the year, so a nice…read morerefreshing treat is always appropriate. 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.

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.

The line was not as long as we've seen so I'm sure the wait time is longer. A great thing is that they supply large umbrellas to hold for shade. We all had different flavors and we all liked them. Their ice is super soft which I loved. I also liked that they weren't overly sweet. However, on the same note, I could barely taste Vanilla in my husband's Orchid Vanilla. The sizes are nice for the prices and there are a lot of flavors and different creative treats to choose from! My rating is 4 stars because it didn't make sense that they serve and take orders from the same small window. While I was placing my order, the girl was taking it, yelling at the workers what she was still waiting for and handing out other people's orders.

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.

I tried the Mangonada drink and my girls got milkshakes, Chocolate and Unicorn (you can get any snoball flavor as a milkshake). We also ordered nachos. Overall we weren't impressed much, the milkshakes were decent (vanilla soft serve with flavor added) but the nachos and Mangonada drink were underwhelming. The nacho cheese was very skimpy, barely filled the cup halfway. The prices were reasonable, but they only took one order at a time, which makes it feel like a long wait for folks in line but the customer service was good. I do like that they have a bench for sitting and a small area for parking. It was a little tricky to find, you have to turn onto York st.

I stopped by pandora's snowballs on a saturday afternoon and it was pretty busy. Despite the long line, we actually were served pretty quickly. And our snowball was made pretty fast as well. The food was pretty good! It was very sugary, but that's kinda what you come for :) the ice was really good & the cream was also yummy. It was a nice balance. I also thought the flavors of ice were nice and potent. We got a stuffed snowball with vanilla cream & half mango + half strawberry cheesecake. We also got the sour spray on the mango half. I'd recommend getting some more toppings, it would definitely make it more delicious I was a little disappointed that there was no seating or tables to eat at. Had to eat and walk at the same time.. or if there were tables we couldn't find them. But overall a good experience

Williams Plum Street Snowballs…read more My wife and I had Williams Plum Street Snowballs recommended to us by a friend who is originally from New Orleans but lives in Memphis now. When someone from New Orleans tells you that you need to try a certain place, you listen, and I am glad we did because this place was definitely worth the stop. We both ordered the small pails, which were actually a really good size. I went with the strawberry shortcake, and my wife got the peaches and cream. Both were absolutely amazing. The ice was incredibly soft and fine, and the flavors were sweet without being too much. My strawberry shortcake had plenty of flavor all the way through instead of just having syrup sitting on top. I tried the peaches and cream as well, and that one was just as good. Between the two, I honestly do not know which one I liked better. One thing that really stood out was the service. Everyone was friendly, helpful, and moved quickly. We had no wait when we arrived, so we were able to order and get our snowballs right away. Watching them make everything right in front of you also adds to the experience. There are so many flavors to choose from that I could easily see myself coming back several times just to try different combinations. You can also tell when a neighborhood spot is good by who is actually there. There were more than six families sitting outside enjoying their snowballs, with a bunch of young kids running around and eating theirs. Most of the kids looked like they were under eight years old. That told me everything I needed to know. This is clearly one of those local places that families have been coming to and enjoying together. Williams Plum Street Snowballs was a great recommendation and one of those places that feels like part of the New Orleans experience. Great flavors, great service, no wait, and a fun atmosphere. The strawberry shortcake and peaches and cream were both excellent. We would absolutely come back the next time we are in New Orleans.
