Shorty's Ice Shack - Severn

After reading the reviews, I was excited to have a great experience reminiscent of the authentic shaved ice snowballs I used to enjoy at The Castle on Hollins and Hammonds Ferry Road (which has been closed since COVID). Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case here. It felt more like I paid for a cup of plain ice. The flavors were lacking, and the ice had a chunky texture. I suppose my search for the perfect snowball will have to continue.

This is the only snowball stand I visit now; all the others just don’t compare.

Shortys is my favorite spot in the area! I recently visited with my husband and daughter, and we all enjoyed our meals! My daughter was especially thrilled with hers!

Super friendly service, tons of fun flavors, and very affordable!

Great little place right off the highway with over 30 different flavors. Their always adding more but still keep the classics as well. I've been going there for years and always look forward to the weather heating up because I know Shorty's will be opening.
