What better way to beat the triple-digit heat wave than, well, a power grid that isn't held together with duct tape and the bedding of a hamster cage, probably.
- But the second best option is chips of ice covered with colorful syrup — all contained in a paper to-go cup!
With that in mind, we've assembled a list of some of the best shaved ice slingers in North Texas:
Bahama Buck's, multiple locations across the area.
- Texas-based chain with a giant menu and giant syrup-y scoops. Can't miss.

- The go-to southside snow spot.
SNO, 7814 Meadow Road.
- Quick, casual shaved ice spot with multiple flavors.
