Pelican's SnoBalls at 140 Blowing Rock Boulevard, Lenoir, North Carolina.

Place has great snow cones assuming you get the right crew working at the time. Lately they've had new crew members working and there's not much quality control keeping them in order. A woman, and myself another time, have complained about getting our orders three or four people behind when we ordered, but instead of simple reassurance that we hadn't been forgotten, we were met with a slight attitude and countless excuses as to why things are the way they are. Oh, and plus when I finally got my order, it was missing the ice cream center...

Bottom line, great snow cones, but until they get use to running a business, I'd give the owners some breathing room.

EDIT: The Gastonia location is a perfect example or how great this place can be!
