Sno Shak

This is our neighborhood snowball stand. They have really good ice cream

Love the chocolate stuffed chocolate with extra cream! They don’t skimp on the juice and when we ask for a medium in a large cup, they ask no questions. (we do this so it doesn’t have a cone top — one person picking up 5 snowballs is a task)
Staff is friendly and they have quick service.

Chocolate snowball is insanely good! Between that and mega mango, definitely two of the best snowballs in the entire metro area! Any of the «mega» flavors are great! Haven’t had a disappointing visit yet. Snowballs are consistently delicious and the staff is always friendly.

I stopped here because it was on the way back from my dad’s house, it’s not one of my usual places, but I figured why not?
I generally stop here maybe a few times a year, usually after visits to my dad. I realized why that is the case. There are better snowballs in New Orleans.
That’s not to say this place is horrible. I’ve had better and I’ve had worse. That earns three stars from me.
I got the jumbo size as I always do. They didn’t quite put enough syrup in it, I saw a chunk of white ice where they missed a spot. I prefer a lot of syrup.
The other thing that turned me off was their setup. They have bars on their windows and they keep them shut except for when taking your order and giving you your snowball. The window that they hand you your snowball is completely covered with newspaper articles so you can’t watch your snowball made. Then there’s a sign saying, «Please don’t knock on the window.» So it’s like you can’t check on your order if it’s taking too long.
Maybe they’ve been robbed there before or something but when I’m there I feel like I’m in a bank in a high crime area.

Love their snowballs! I ordered the coconut (light juice) with condensed milk. The ice was smooth and creamy and the coconut was so yummy! The staff there is friendly and quick to serve you. Definitely give it a try, you won’t be disappointed:).

my go to spot because it is close to where i live, but they do have a wide variety of flavors the ice could be smoother and they could use a little more syrup. Ice is far superior to plum street!

The ice doesn’t compare to Hansen’s or Plum Street and the flavors taste like the commercially made ones. This is about the only game in town along this stretch of Jefferson Highway so unless you’re willing to travel about three miles further in either direction you won’t find another snowball treat. I’ve only ended up here due to the fact that a Concentra drug testing lab is next door where yippee ki-​yay I get to pee in cups for drug tests due to the line of work I’m in so after I pee I saunter over to this joint to get a snowball. The good thing about the remoteness of this place is I’ve never had to stand in a long line or seen a long line here but that could be due to my timing.

They are super fast & soooo good. I’m partial to the mango. Get ya sum!!!

The ice is not super soft and they are stingy with syrup. It’s kind of slow too. It takes 10 – 15 minutes to get one snowball with no line. If you’re on Jefferson and can’t get near Pandora or Hansen’s, this does the job.

BEST SNOWBALLS EVERRR! I haven’t tried the famous Hansen’s yet, but my friend who’s tried both has said that Sno Shak beats it! The ice here is sooo soft and fluffy; I love it! My favorite has to be the stuffed Wedding Cake. SOOO GOOODD! They offer a large variety of flavors compared to Hansen’s and also serve snacks including nachos and chips.
I love Sno Shak; the perfect place to tame my snowball cravings.
