      If you want a snow cone, this is the place to go. Beats all the other sno cone places for sure, all the others are crunchy ice. Loads of flavors to pick from and the employees have all been nice.

      Says it closes at 1030 online. Pull up, it's 8:50. There's a long line, probably like 10 people waiting. It turns 9pm and the girl working hands out the last shaved ice and then closes the window. We're all looking at each other like did they just close? A couple minutes later she opens the window and tells us sorry we're closed and closes the window. So rude. We were all in line before close time and we didn't get served. What a waste.

      I love me some shaved ice and the menu has about a thousand flavors to choose from! It's very good and if you go I recommend the Green Hawaiian.

      It's shaved ice. When it's hot and you're craving some shaved ice - this is your spot. Service was quick - but we were the only people there so that was in our favor.

      They could of definitely used a lot more syrup - as they were pretty dry but you could still taste your flavors.

      Cute lil area with some picnic tables!

      First time here. This building is on the corner of the Huber parking lot, and it has a walk up window for you to get your order.

      When I got there, there was no line...so the service was extremely fast for me. The menu is quite overwhelming. I definitely didn't look at all of the flavors and combinations they have because I honestly didn't feel like reading all of it. However, it's great that they offer so many!

      I asked the cashier what were the top sellers and she gave me a list of options. I then gave her particular flavors I loved, and she recommend Barbie Dreams (bubblegum and cotton candy mix), which was delicious.

      I got the regular size ($3.25). Other options include medium ($4) and large ($5). They were able to accept credit cards, which is a plus since I never carry cash! Can't wait to try more flavors!

      Went here with my daughters on a fun night out and received terrible service. We were so excited to get some shaved ice and instead received a sad looking cup of ice with three ants in it. Workers were very unprofessional and when we asked for new one because we had ants in ours, they made us pay for a new one. After we got our new shaved ice they asked us if we would like to add a tip. I know these girls probably get paid minimum wage but after receiving an ant in my snow cone I was very disappointed. Also when she was making it I didn't see her wearing any gloves. Our cup was very sticky and they are very stingy on the syrups. It would be nice if the workers were wearing something more appropriate, lots of cleavage. Go someone else.

      The consistency of the shaved ice is great. The flavorings taste very artificial. Not a fan.

      The first time I tried this Tad's, the service was super inefficient and slow. It was a hot summer's night, and there appeared to be two people working. One would take the order while the other stood by idly, you'd pay, and then they would both start work on making that single order. After the order was complete, they would yell out the flavors, but people were not always quick at realizing that was their order that was ready or at remembering which flavors they had gotten, which would slow down the whole system even more. Once the order was picked up, the cycle would start again. I know this seems really overly critical and harsh of a shaved ice place, but I was not expecting to wait in line for over 15 minutes with maybe 6 people in front of me.

      One more small complaint. They should hose down the area around their building more frequently. It was super sticky and gross especially around the picnic tables and the order window.

      Once I got my shaved ice and wiped my shoes off in the grass, I really enjoyed it. The ice itself was great, and it had plenty of flavoring on it.

      I'm always sad when they close for the summer! I love Tad's shaved ice! It's the perfect treat on a hot summers day. The price is low and you get so much! I love mixing flavors. We took our to a close park and had a lovely evening. I understand they have to close at the end of the summer, I just wish they were open into the fall on the weekends for when it's still hot during our crazy kc falls.
