Rodney's Snowball Stand

My absolute favorite snowball stand in the city. I hadn't been to Rodney's in quite some time due to living outside of the city and it was still just as good as I remembered it to be. The ice is always soft, I enjoy their flavor selection, you get gummy bears, and of course there are snacks! The young women working were incredibly nice and such good sports about my flavor questions. One of my summertime missions is to try more snowball flavors (I am a mango/Hawaiian or strawberry/kiwi loyalist), so I came to Rodney's to begin my task. I've always wondered what flavor "tiger's blood" is and I finally tried it. It was described as being like strawberry with a bit of coconut and I was intrigued enough to give it a shot. I'm not a huge coconut girlie, but it was actually quite tasty. I wouldn't not get it again, lol. If I hadn't already eaten lunch I would have also grabbed some nachos and a pickle, but that just gives me a reason to come back sooner than later. I used to come to Rodney's all the time when I was younger because we lived nearby, and I can't recall a time where the parking lot wasn't FULL! I hope that on my most recent visit the lack of visitors was due to the threat of rain, because I would really hate to lose this gem. If you're in the area, give my fave a try!

I've visited Rodney's my entire life and they remain consistent. I only go for the snowballs, but I see people order nachos every visit. They have spoiled me because now I expect every spot I visit to have gummy bears. Overall, I recommend Rodney's snowballs.

It's always a pleasure coming back to New Orleans and getting Rodney's. Snowball so soft and lots of juice!! I don't eat dairy anymore but I HAD to get the nachos, brung back so much nostalgia

Honestly during this time of social distancing i have been craving sno balls. So today i had enough and decided to search for one. I usually loves plum street or hans but i decided to search in my hood. Luckily i found one. The ice is really damn good. I really enjoyed my sno ball. I had got a medium one which costed me 2.25 i believe. The nacho cost more than the snowball. On a hot day like this i am pleased The flavora were really good. Not as thick and syruppy either It was perfect. I will definitely be back

When I came home to visit, I just had to go to Rodney's!! This snowball stand has been in the east for so long. It's really iconic. You can't go wrong with getting a snowball and some nachos from Rodney's. It's really nothing better!!

I went to Rodney's with my mom and sister.First the worker had an attitude and also,my snow ball had hair in it. I put the attachment below to see the hair. They were very fast tho and I like that. I wish no hate against the snowball stand I just say they need improvement.

Refreshing velvet sweetness. Loved my snowball and the hidden gummy bear in my snowball was a nice treat.

Snowballs consistently good. Smooth ice and real flavors. Not sure why I think tamales aren't always the same but normally pretty good.Snowball and tamales hold the gummies. Go to spot For SB

Snowballs are a unique tradition un New Orleans. A great place has soft ice, at least 25 flavors and the option if adding condensed milk or ice cream. This place offers all of this! I love their pink lemonade, but I also get hawaiian punch, orange, wedding cake, the sugar free flavors when I'm craving the flavored ice but limiting the sugar intake. This place is not stingy with juice. They make sure you taste it. Nothing's worse than getting a smowball and it's taste like ice only. If you can't decide which flavor you prefer or want a mixture, you can get two. One unqiue thing about their snow balls is that they place gummy bears on top. I typically order extra gummy bears. The taste of the gummy bears on ice is a real treat. The dipped cones, tamales and nachos are good too.Parking is cramped, but it's worth it.

Good snowball, even better nachos. I do not recommend the sugar-free flavors as I have tried multiple and each one has lacked in flavor. Also, the nacho is better plain (to me) without the chili. Decent customer service each time and I would return if I'm in the area again.
