Sissy's Snowcones — Restaurant in Fayetteville

Our favorite local snowcone place in NWA! The staff is always kind, although be prepared to wait b/c there is usually a line, and it takes a while for orders. But they have inventive combos and flavors, including Key Lime Pie (with a pie slice on top) and snowcones stuffed with ice cream and cheesecake. They also have a large selection of fruit, juice, and candy that you can add too. Their prices are average- they start around $2.50 and go up to $5 BUT be aware if you get specialty flavors, they add an extra $1-2.50. I believe they have a rewards program or punch card, though. But the main reason we love this place is b/c they support the community! I have seen their food cart at Beautiful Lives non-profit thrift store offering free snowcones to the crowd, and they give out snowcone gift cards as summer reading prizes for the kids at the Fayetteville library every year! They do have seating and some covered tables with umbrellas along with outdoor games to play too. Definitely...

Overall, Sissy’s is a nice snow cone shack. They have a great atmosphere, average service, and a lot of toppings and flavor options. HOWEVER! The reason why I give them a 4 star rating, rather than 5, is because of the snow cones themselves. The ice that they use for there snow cones is not finely ground up like a powder and therefore makes for a crunchy snow cone.

I’ve tried a few other snow cone shacks in Fayetteville, and personally, if you’re looking for powdery ice along with a good assortment of flavors and toppings, I’d recommend Tiki Time (over by the mall) or Shave the Planet (over by...

The staff was friendly and the atmosphere was calm and relaxing. But both snowcones were too underwhelming for us to even finish them. For a first time visit, that was disappointing!

With that said, I’m open to giving it another try with a different type of snowcone than the one I originally got.

Side note, there’s a small sitting area next to the building that has fun little party games to play. We had a good time playing some and think they would be a big hit...
