Bahama Buck's - Mesa (E Southern Avenue)

EDIT: Sorry I took so long to edit this. My review did not appear any longer when I first received contact from the manager of this location, which was very soon after I emailed them. The manager was so kind as to inform me of the existence of the Super Sour flavors list, and also suggested I ask for a side of sour sand for additional sour flavor. I had been reading from the Alphabetical flavors list because I thought it would be easier to choose from.. I received a free any size sno to use at any location and was very grateful. It lasted me several days. Perhaps it's just me, but the super sour flavors didn't make too much of a difference. However, adding sides of sour sand made ALL the difference. It was a very pleasing experience. Appreciate the prompt care I received! In my 20 + years of life, I have only been to bahama bucks 4 times, and already I am weary of returning. The first location I visited was Cooper Rd. This was within the last few weeks. I spent over 30 minutes looking at the website menu and allergen menu to curate my perfect shaved ice experience. I chose Strawberry Flavor 1, Warheads Flavor 2, Sour spray for an additional charge, and Sour sand for my 2nd topping. I was very pleased and excited to quickly return. I am located nearer to the Mesa Dr. location and made my first order there the same as the one above. It had the excellent sour flavor I was looking forward to. My 3rd overall visit was to Mesa Dr. again. I'm not a fan of changing a good thing, but when I read online that watermelon bahama bucks flavor pairs better with sour flavors than strawberry does, I decided to give it a try. I was extremely disappointed. Was not sour. Cup also happened to be less full than usual. I figured the watermelon flavor was the problem. I returned to Mesa Dr. tonight and ordered my original strawberry and sour flavor combination. I went inside to pick up my order and asked the young lady making it to change her gloves before making mine, due to my milk and egg allergy, and the fact that I had just seen her making an item with cream in it. She adhered and made my drink with the cup filled well. Unfortunately, it was not sour whatsoever, and almost tasted more like flavored water than a "sno" cone. I can go to any water and ice store, for a much smaller amount of change, and get flavored ice any day. I chose bahama bucks 4 times in a row due to my high expectations for a flavor profile I can't achieve anywhere else with ease, to my knowledge. I have been proven wrong twice in a row, and am very disappointed with the lack of consistency and quality. I am skeptical that any more positive experiences can be achieved at this establishment. What a shame. The only reason this has two stars instead of 1 is because of my appreciation for the lack of a negative attitude when changing gloves for an allergy.

I had a amazing first experience here because of a worker named Wyatt (01/20/2026 at 2:30). Not only did he bring out my order quickly, he was balancing 5-6 orders in a timely matter. I hope he is given a raise or atleast a some compensation for the work he is doing! Thank you again!

The shaved ice is delicious but they do mess up my order like 1/3 of the time I go. I always place a mobile order and pick it up in the drive through to take home and I live just far enough away that it is too inconvenient to go back and have them fix it. Their customer service is good and I'm sure they'd fix it if I asked but they shouldn't be messing it up this often. Most recently they put cream and ice cream in my shaved ice that I did not ask for (this has happened three separate times so far, which I believe is because we get one shaved ice with ice cream and one without, and they tend to just not notice and put it in both) and not only do I hate vanilla ice cream, I am severely lactose intolerant. 2/3 of the time it's great though, which is why I keep coming back. Just double check your order before you go home and you'll have a good experience.

This is a fun place to grab a refreshing treat during the summer. I’m a fan of shaved ice, and Bahama Buck’s has tons of flavors, even sugar-free options, plus a bunch of toppings. I tried the strawberry cheesecake with condensed milk, which was good, but I’ll probably go with something more fruity next time.

Always delicious. One of My favorite places to go when I am visiting My girlfriend in AZ. If you want something that is delicious and cheap, and perfect for a hot day, go here.

Took forever to finish my pickup order (jk they were fast and it smelt good)

This place is SWEET AN DELICIOUS. First time but won't be my last. I wish we had one in Peoria:( That's a dreamscicle an root beer float smoothie. Notice the spoon changes color with the temp! Word of caution: take it slow to avoid 🧠 freeze 😆

Yummy! Thank you to the young lady working the drive through.. not very familiar with BBs, asked her opinion on cherry vs straw and she said cherry. Great choice!
