Southern Delights

Southern Delights may be the best snoball stand in Slidell. It’s definitely my favorite on the North Shore.
Slidell wasn’t even on our itinerary this trip but I couldn’t be that close to SD and not stop. It’s just one exit off I-​12. At the split, we took the 1 – 10 towards New Orleans, got off at Gause Blvd. and a mile later we were in snoball heaven.
The heat was sweltering and the drive thru line snaked almost out the parking lot. It’s a popular summer destination so that’s to be expected. When another customer pointed out that there was no wait at the walk-​up window we parked and got out.
They had at least seventy-​five flavors to choose from and about a half dozen of those were sugar-​free. They also had a separate menu for young children (displayed at thigh level) featuring fun flavors like The Dinosaur, Little Pony and Toxic Waste.
My mouth was watering for a Bubble Gum with extra gummy bears; the boy wanted Tigers Blood. We opted for the smallest size (kiddie) to avoid any unscheduled restrooms stops on our trip. Although it didn’t come with a peaked top it was still plenty of snoball to enjoy.
There is nothing more thirst-​quenching on a hot summer day than a snoball. And at a price point of $ 1 – 3.50 per treat, it’s a complete steal.
I’ll gladly take the off ramp for Southern Delights again and again.

SLIDELL SNOBALLS SNOBALL SNOBALLS!
During my 20 min. journey to visiting hubbub i ALWAYS exit Gause, making the left at the light, && driving straight down until seeing the sonics… There you’ll find me waiting in the DRIVE THRU (YES, drive thru) line for one of Southern Delights snoballs!
Oh my word.~ they had me at drive thru.
Although their ice isn’t as fancy as Hansens or Ikes, their flavors will keep you coming! I made it a mission of mines to try ALL of their cream flavor snoballs. (i have 2 left)
Def. Recommend you try blue hawaiian if you like coconut; a mix of coconut & evaporated milk. I can go on and on and review all the cream flavors, but… Maybe when i finish my mission!
~ soft serve $ 1.50 DO IT

This place is AMAZING!!! If you haven’t tried it then, it’s time!!! They have stuffed snow balls with ice cream, cream flavored snowballs, snowballs with candy, snowballs with condensed milk, you name it, they got it baby!!!
This is a locally owned and operated stand that has been open for many years! I’ve been coming to this place since I was a kid after school with my grandma!
The prices I don’t think have changed and the sizes are huge!!! They are so delicious I have to cheat and come here at least 3 – 4 times a month during the summer to last me the rest of the year!!! Their hours vary and the line is sometimes very long but it’s highly worth the wait!
Any size you want, get the next size down because they always give it to you in a bigger cup! The kiddie size is a regular small and another good tip is if your buying for a child, you can always ask for no top! To help from spilling!

I’ve only had one type of snow ball from here and that’s the wedding cake with strawberry short cake and it’s amazing. They have tons of other flavors that can entertain your taste buds. They also have food like nachos and hotdogs. I have had the nachos with chili and cheese and it reminds me of food you get from the concession stand at a game. You can either park and order or go through the drive thru.

Here in Slidell most people call this place «the little blue house». They shut down in winter and when they open up in the spring you know it because it is always packed! They have a small parking lot and it fills up quickly. It’s not uncommon for customer’s cars to be lined all the way up Broadmoor Street. There’s also a drive thru.
They sell snowballs which are the best in Slidell. They also sell a variety of ice creamy goodness. The Gator Blast is similar to a Sonic Blast… ice cream of your choice blended with candy or cookies… but way better than Sonic. Their prices are slightly higher than Sonic’s, but worth it.
Another awesome thing… they sell Randazzo’s King Cakes here!!!

If I were to go to any snowball stand in Slidell, it would be here. This place is absolutely BUZZING. Sonic’s next door has similar things but this place takes all the business. It may be a little wait to get your order, but most great snowball stands do. They have a drive thru which is great, but for some reason I always skip the drive thru when it comes to snowballs. I would rather enjoy the walk up experience.
They are great about getting your order right and as the other reviewer mentioned they give you a cup size larger than what you ask. They do that so the snowball isn’t filled to the top and everything comfortably fits, while you still have the amount that you ordered.
My favorite thing is that when they stuff it with soft serve they take time to place some in the middle AND on top. That is great attention to detail. The ice is always nice and free of chunks until it sits for too long which is great. My only complaint would be my fault. I always order a premium cream flavor such as dreamsicle or strawberry something or other stuffed with soft serve. I forget how much it is for a «small» but it’s something along $ 1.50 + $ 1.00 for cream flavor + $ 1.25 for soft serve + $.50 for gummi bears. That’s around $ 4.25 for a snowball, geezus. But it is very worth it and a small fills me up.
They also have snacks there. I’ve tried their hotdog with chili and cheese and it is great when you want a boiled out of the pack hotdog (no sarcasm). They have chips, pickles, and nachos I believe.

This place has the best snowballs around. They need to buy an actual building! They are always slammeddddd after school, so don’t even think about it. Walk up or drive-​thru. Food snacks fat and snowballs. Love you guys!
