Tim’s Southern Snow

Tim’s is hands down the best sno cone place in town. Lots of flavors and the best best shaved ice. There is usually a line because Tim is in high demand, but it is worth the wait!

Allowing only one flavor per snow cone rips the fun right out of getting a snow cone. And rudely telling customers to get back in their car and park straight isn’t going to help much with business. You may want to rethink these unnecessary rules, Tim.

Having tasted the best sno ball on earth from the lovely Casey’s in Austin, my boyfriend and I set out to see if we could find anything remotely close in Shreveport.
We heard tale of the Shreveport Snowcone Nazi and were excited to try our luck with the rigorous snowcone maker.. .
Reasonable prices but a strange pricing scheme. $ 1.60 for a small plus tax. Why not just tell us the all inclusive price?
Variety of flavors but you can only get *one* flavor per snowcone. Don’t even bother asking for a mix or offering to pay .50 cents more because you’ll be shot down by the Shreveport Snowcone Nazi.
You must park straight in the driveway. There are about three signs telling you this and I suppose it is of some importance.
Good value for the size. The small came in at 12 ounces, which I would consider a medium-​large size typically.
Overall the snowcone was too sweet and he doesn’t make the flavorings himself, they are clearly store bought. We found that all we really wanted was a bottle of ice cold water to cleanse our sugar burnt palates.
I will say that a novel plus is that Tim offers an assortment of items for sale at prices he dictates «fair». Today we saw a used ice pack for .80 cents, Married with Children on DVD coming in at a whopping $ 5.55 per disk and finally a pair of used nail clippers for $ 1.00.
There were tons of people in line but that may be because there just aren’t that many options when it comes to finding a snowcone stand. It’s definitely a 2 star for me.
