The Best Snow Cones and Shaved Ice in Dallas | Eater Dallas

"Shaved ice doesn’t have to mean boring and syrupy-sweet flavors, and TC Shaved Ice on Garland Road is proof. Mexican-influenced and savory flavors like tamarind, chamoy, and dill pickle are on offer, along with sweeter options like the Knock Out, a fruity flavor served with a few scoops of vanilla ice cream hidden beneath the perfectly shaved ice." - Amy McCarthy

Friendly staff. I ordered a banana flavor and asked for more syrup and they complied. Thank you it was very delicious! I love snow cones! Go take the family to TC shaved Ice and enjoy a snow cone. Reasonably priced

I’m so glad that they finally have gummy bears and the good ones too! It’s the brand Albanese and they are the best!

First time customer. We have lived here for almost 20 years and never been there until today. The mangonada was super delicious and the strawberry with banana was just what I needed for my sweet tooth. The customer more service was excellent!

TC is my favorite shaved ice. They are generous with the mix and shaved ice. Best bang for your buck in McKinney. The competition could neva' steal me from them. The owner is amazing too!

I've been going to the TC Shaved Ice in Plano ever since I can remember. I love the one in Plano. The employees are great. Definitely go to that location. Try the knock out! I took one star off because I had a bad experience at the one in McKinney. I won't ever go there again because the young lady working there was very impatient and rude. I noticed they don't make the Knock Out the same as the Plano location.

This is not an ice creme shop. This is straight-up shaved ice. My family comes here a lot because they are one of the best. I'd advise eating in the car, plenty of parking in the area. This is a drive through but moves at a good pace. They never rip you off, you get good portions. Been going there a long time.

We always go to TC Shaved Ice in Frisco, thinking this would be somewhat similar but $3.25 for a small cup of literal ice. I asked for tamarindo but just got plain old ice with no flavor as you can see. Elote wasn’t all that great either unfortunately. I don’t recommend this to anyone.

Let me tell y'all, this is a legit snowball joint! I'm from New Orleans and was raised on the original snowball with the super fine ice. My husband (who's also from Nola) and I always enjoy the strawberry knockout...try it, you won't be disappointed!

The customer service and Lack of professionalism. The two gentlemen working were vaping infront of customers. The guy at the window was rude and lacked attention to detail. He made the wrong orders and began to argue in defense of his mistake. I recommend the owner reevaluate who they have working for them.

Pretty good snowballs, nice sizes, shaved ice is smooth and they're sweet! The drive thru is very convenient.

Went today the flavor wasn't bad but the cup had a horrible smell, like literally shit. I threw my large pineapple away, too afraid of getting sick. Won't be returning.

I love this shave ice SO much! Best I've had in decades. It's very finely shaved with just the right amount of syrup. All flavors I've tried have been delicious. Wedding cake with cream is my personal favorite; tried coconut recently and loved it. My son got peach and vanilla with cream, which was wonderful. Great prices, quick service, and absolutely authentic and yummy shave ice. I go every time I'm in town! We've never had any issues with the service. We read the reviews and were prepared... we gave our sizes first ("We want 2 large, 2 medium, and 1 small"). They came back in about 30 seconds and said, "What do you want on the first large?" And we went down the line one at a time that way. Very efficient and no rude or unfriendly interactions in 2 recent visits.

Absolutamente delicioso. Raspa de chamoy con pepinos y tajini. Me recordó comiendo pickles/ pepinos con lucas. El dueño es de Monterrey México. Elote en vaso con crema y mayonesa queso cotija. If you want to taste original authentic delicious latin snacks. This is the place to visit.

Place would be five stars if they weren't so rude. The guy who is usually working doesn't even give you time to place your full order. They open the window and say "what size?" That's how they greet their customers?! It's hit or miss if you actually get cream when you order it because they are in such a rush even with no line. The snow cones though are top notch.

They're not friendly at all. The girl at the window had her hands on her mouth while asking for my order.

5 stars strictly for the owner. The girl who was supposed to be there was late and we called asking if they were open. He offered to comp our snow cones for waiting but we paid anyway bc we didn't care about the lateness lol just wanted to know if they were open. Girl that was late had a baaaaad attitude but the snow cone was good! Will be back :)

I was in McKinney and my nieces & nephews wanted snow cones . My sis n law took us to this place, because I like supporting small businesses. We had a car full of kids, who had never been there. The man at the window was rude. He didn't let us get our entire order out before closing the window to pass the order on to the other employees. He told us that next time we need to be ready with our order before getting to the window. They only have a menu at the window, so new people won't see it til they pull up. If we didn't have the kids with us I wouldn't have placed an order after that kind of attitude. The snow cones are basic which perfect for kids. There were barely any pickles or flavor on my "Piccadilly" it was just sad. They need to work on their customer service and order taking because it's unorganized. If they wrote the sizes on the cups and passed them on, it would go faster instead of passing on by word of mouth. Three of our snow cones were wrong size or flavor. Didn't even bother to get it fixed the guy was in such a hurry.

Please update your hours. Not fun to drive out of the way with excited kids and find the business closed for the "season" without any online update.

This place is CASH ONLY! The prices are very low, so I'm sure that you have $2-3 laying around somewhere...and that's enough to get yourself a generous sized shaved ice. The way they shave the ice here is quite unique. I'd never had anything like it...and the snow cone is velvety smooth. I've only had snow cones at faires and the like in the past with the very granular round ice that you crunch on...but this one was a pleasant surprise. The flavor itself (strawberry) was just alright. Given the cheap price and convenience, I'll give a few other flavors a try. The strawberry kind of tasted like it was just out of some huge vat of chemical liquid like you get at the fair...nothing special there. So I'd skip this flavor and try something else next time. It can take a little bit of time, waiting in line, since they're chipping away at the ice fresh each time you pull up to the window. I'm not sure if you're expected to tip...or how you would if you are, since it is a drive through.

My husband's favorite place to get snocones. He feels he is a connoisseur of them and insists that TC's is the best no matter where you go because of the way they make their ice. He also likes their flavors and they are less expensive than other stands. They are CASH ONLY so come prepared, and check out the picture of their menu I uploaded for flavors and prices. It is a drive-thru, so you don't have to get out. They seem to be open when they feel like it because there are no hours posted, but during the summer it seems to be all day.

It's snow cones for 4 bucks!! People are expecting steakhouse service calm down. The cones are awesome the people are friendly so what if there's a wait. Slow down a bit the cones worth it. Some times this review culture gets a bit out of hand!!!

Great snow ones and good list of choices. Fairly small operation with just snow cones, Piccadilly show comes and elote on the menu looking forward to trying the elote next time.

Really disappointed. Many times we go during business hours and nobody is there. What put the nail in the coffin for me was when the lady working-who had just handled cash and her cell phone-touched my snow cone with bare hands. She transferred the ice from one cup to a larger one using her bare dirty hands. I'm not paranoid but come on. I won't be back. I'm sad because they have really good flavors.

As far as shaved ice places go this place is great, no frills, and no expensive crap. Just simple and delicious dessert. Some great classic flavors to choose from as well as a few more exotic ones (like Tiger's Blood).

This place has some delicious snow cones. We stumbled upon it last summer and came here a couple times a week during the summer. It is definitely one of the best snow cone shops and most affordable in the area too!! Totally worth it!

I live less than a mile from TC's on McDonald. I've had nothing but headaches going to this location, but tonight (7/7/13) was the absolute final straw. I sat in line for 12 minutes (!) while the guy in front of me waited for his order. I could see the employees dancing and talking while leaning against the counter. Ummm... shouldn't you fill orders before you slack off? After 12 minutes, I left. Each previous time visiting this location has been a disappointment as well. I will NOT be back.

Worst customer service! Got there 10 minutes before closing time. I was told they were closed. I mention it was still before 9 and their excuse was that they had to close already since her ride was there. It was my first and last time at this place.

Horrible service and pricey for the amount that they give the employee always seems angry . Im paying for a service I expect to be treated with respect
