I have heard a LOT of good things about Pelican's Snoballs from my friends- they have a few…read moredifferent locations in the Hickory/Lenoir area. I never had the chance to stop by to try a Snowball until today, and I'm highly impressed! I was honestly expecting a place to go inside and sit down, but they only have outdoor seating area. They also have Cornhole outside to play too! This wasn't a big deal for me though, because we were on the go today, and it was convenient for us to be able to drive thru. They have SO many flavors to choose from, I have never seen so many snowball flavors in my life! You can choose up to two flavors, anything more is a 50¢ charge. I decided I would get the regular size for $3.50, and it was a perfect size for me. Great price too! I'm trying to stay away from sugar, so I ended up asking at the window to take a look at their sugar free menu... It did not disappoint! Usually there's not a lot of options out there when it comes to sugar free, but they've got the flavors down here! I chose Sour Green Apple & Tiger's Blood. The Tigers blood was incredible. I couldn't even tell that it was sugar free. The green Apple was good too, but didn't have as much of a "vibrant" flavor like the Tiger's blood did. I'm actually pretty excited to come back in a few days and try some more flavors. I had such an awesome experience here!

Birthday cake may have been some of the best I've ever had as it tasted like eating a great cake batter of cake with extra sprinkles.

They also have games like cornhole, Connect Four, and tic-tac-toe for guests to play. I got the Polar Punch flavor in a large cup (in the picture, I had already taken a bite, but it's usually perfectly rounded on top). The shaved ice was really good--it just melts in your mouth--and the Polar Punch flavor is a must-try. Overall, this place is great. The only downside was that it took a little while to order, but that's understandable since there were only two workers at a late hour. I'd definitely recommend checking this place out if you're looking for a fun dessert spot.

Sad day for me. Heartbroken I was about to leave when the sweetest lady (the owner) said she could make me her version if I'd wait. Well I did and I so glad I did. It was actually better than the original version of the ice cream. It was as I call it shaved snow. Soooo delicious. Many thanks and I will definitely be back and I will bring as many folks with me that love the melona bar. This is superior.
