Hands down the best shaved ice we've had. The Waves original flavors are so good. They are dye free and artificial flavor free. Service was fast and friendly. There were picnic tables with umbrellas for shade and my kids loved playing with the big connect four and blocks. Highly recommend! read more

One Ice Machine? In This Heat? Bold Strategy. I drove an hour in the middle of a heat wave like I was on a mission from the shaved ice gods. I pulled up to Waves Shave Ice in Holly Springs, ready to cool down and live my best life. Instead, I got a front-row seat to a sweaty comedy. Stood in line for over 60 minutes under the blazing sun -- no shade, no misting fans, not even a warning flare. Then, just as I get close to the window... "Sorry, our ice machine just broke." Ma'am. Sir. ONE ice machine? In the peak of summer? With this kind of traffic? Y'all need at least two, maybe even three. This place is too popular to be operating like a home kitchen with one blender on life support. They need to treat this like a concert venue, not a lemonade stand. Invest in backup machines -- or at least an emotional support popsicle for the folks in line. I left hotter than I came, spiritually and physically. All I got was disappointment and a tan line and am chocolate already. read more

Cool concept, but only half the flavors were available and the syrup is diluted. Also, why would you put a shaved ice stand near an electric fence? read more

Saw the hype in Instagram about this place. It's okay. For the price, it needs more syrup & fruits. Please don't skimp. Cool place though coz it's by a farm wherein you can see cows & horses. Next time I know now not to believe everything I see in Instagram. read more

The ice is pretty yummy! It's a little pricey but they do use real syrups so I'm okay with that. The regular is huge and next time I will get a kid size. They had just opened but were out of a lot of flavors. I ended up getting the lime passion fruit but we also got pina colada and cherry. I will definitely go back. On a hot day it hits the spot perfectly. read more

Waves Shave Ice is so good! You can choose a flavor from the wave's original (signature syrups made from real fruit) or other flavors (syrups made in Hawaii) section. It was the strawberry with cream drizzle for me and the mango peach for my husband, both were a kids size. It was delicious and the size was perfect, check this truck out! read more

Amazing is an understatement! I found this jem on a local NC eats site and was amazed with the amazing flavors. First of all it's artisan shaven Ice with cane sugar toppings and you can put the most amazing ice cream inside. You can choose between no drizzle, a cream drizzle or dairy free coconut. We had the pineapple with coconut ice cream and dairy free coconut drizzle. It was amazing! The pineapple flavor is spot on and the pair of coconut ice cream it amazing. Second we had the triple berry with lemon filling with cream drizzle! Again this one was very flavorful and the lemon was great pairing as well. Finally we had the strawberry with peach ice cream with cream drizzle! This again was spot on and the peach ice cream had chunks of peach in it. To put it simply you will not be disappointed! read more

Disappointed. I've had shaved ice in HI, CA,NY so I was super excited about this place. But it's so over priced. I Saw this place on Instagram and what they portray on instagram is no where near what they serve. Although there's an additional charge for toppings they were super stingy. I paid extra and what bothered me was the skimpy strawberry and condensed milk drizzle I did however like that they make their syrups in house. read more

I've been twice recently. The first time I got pineapple stuffed with vanilla ice cream. It was delicious! The second time I got blueberry stuffed with blueberry cheesecake ice cream. It was good but not as good as pineapple. My kids got the other flavors that aren't made with fresh fruit and they didn't like it as much as another place I won't name. It is pricy but I understand they use better ingredients. read more

Awful. Hardly any syrup on the ice. Very much over priced for what you get. Flavorless. read more
