Looking to sample the best shaved ice around town?
Hoodline crunched the numbers to find the top shaved ice spots in Fort Worth, using both Yelp data and our own secret sauce to produce a ranked list of where to satisfy your cravings.
1. Van Tran Oriental Market
Topping the list is Van Tran Oriental Market. Located at 7355 N. Beach St. in Summerfields, the international grocery store is the highest rated shaved ice spot in the city, boasting 4.5 stars out of 34 reviews on Yelp. It recently relocated from further south on North Beach Street.
The Asian grocer offers shaved ice cups with fruit. For instance, you can grab one with condensed milk and top it off with mango, lychee jelly and jackfruit with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
Yelp reviewer Ashley G. said, "They have quite a bit of stuff there for a small store. I love the Chinese sausages there, the snow cones and the baked goods. If you ever see them bring the fresh pork buns, do yourself a favor and buy multiple. They are amazing. Super friendly staff and very clean."
2. Eskimo Hut
Next up is Como's Eskimo Hut, situated at 5518 W. Vickery Blvd. With 4.5 stars out of 31 reviews on Yelp, the drive-through bar, which offers beer, wine, spirits, shaved ice, daiquiris and more, has proven to be a local favorite.
Its snow cones and slushies are spiked with alcohol and come in flavors like Code Red (cherry, mai tai and strawberry), Fuzzy Memory (cherry, peach and mango) and Jolly Rancher (cherry, kiwi and watermelon). (See all of your options here.)
Yelper Joseph F. wrote, "This place is awesome! First of all. I can get a snow cone/slushy that has alcohol in it! Yup, you heard me, and I don't even have to get out of the car. It's a drive-through adult playground."
3. Bahama Buck's
Bahama Buck's, located at 2600 W. Seventh St., Suite 181, is another top choice, with Yelpers giving the spot to score shaved ice, smoothies and açaí bowls four stars out of 49 reviews.
