Stop Jockin Snoballs — Restaurant in New Orleans

I must submit, I believe I have a new favorite snowball stand in the Gentilly area. STOP JOCKIN!!! I do love the name… it’s a little old school, but catchy.

I pass this snowball stand all the time hopping onto the 610 interstate and when I wanted to stop in they were closed.

But I see now, they have more consistent hours now. The food is good. Great price. Great taste. Snowballs are extraordinary. Great price. Excellent taste. The ice is so soft in your mouth. It just literally melts in your mouth. I saw a lady coming by for snowballs no syrup, that ice only… Proof positive that people like the ice here. The flavors are off the chain. I never had a dry snowball from here, sounds like an oxymoron, but it happens. They’ve always been succulent, moist, juicy and very flavorful.

I’ve also had the pleasant opportunity to purchase food from this establishment. The food is processed really quickly, and as I stated previously, the taste is good. And I while I’ve not had everything on the menu, the things that I have had have all been tasty and fair in pricing. The cups are thick styrofoam, I never had to worry about puncturing the bottom of the snowball, nor did I have to worry about the sides being so flimsy that they broke once I grabbed these cups. I’ve been here more than a few times and I must admit the lines will form quickly, however the staff are quick with reducing the line and processing orders. I am unsure if this location stays open year-round, but as it stands now I plan to visit them daily until I find...

After learning about the scheduled closed days from making a blank trip to the establishment...on FRIDAY Dec. 16, 2022... I TRIED once AGAIN to give this black owned establishment business. This time, before I took the long drive there...I went on Google to check the days and times of business operation. The business is shown to be OPEN on FRIDAY until 7:00pm... I made it there and walked up to the window at 5:19pm. When I tried to place my order for some shrimp nachos and a snowball... the young lady said that they were no longer serving food. I said What?? And Why?? She said it's because they don't start serving food until 1:00pm and the kitchen/all of the fryers are shut down for the day...for 6:00pm. I then asked her WHY the establishment does not state that on their Google/social media information... for PEOPLE WHO TRAVEL A DISTANCE TO VISIT THE BUSINESS??? Because it was not even 5:30pm yet... I asked her one more time for at least some regular nachos, so it wouldn't be a full DISAPPOINTMENT...and she said no, I cant even do them because they shut the...

I see this place all on social media. I even read that it was one of the best snowball spots in the city. I agree. The ice is pretty soft but, at the end of the day, a snowball is a snowball is a snowball. I know everyone has there favorites but to me, it all taste the same no matter what snowball stand you go to. Unless, you’re in a different city or state and their trying to imitate us. Not too many ppl can do what we (NO) do. I didn’t get any food. I don’t think I’ve ever gotten food from a snowball stand so I can’t speak on that. Based on snowballs alone, I give this place a 3 (it was okay and maybe I’ll be back or maybe I won’t). It wasn’t bad—it was just ok. Like I said, a snowball is a snowball is a snowball. I wouldn’t make a special trip from another part of the city but If I’m in the area and want a snowball,...
