City of Friendswood and Southeast Houston News

On any given sizzling day in Friendswood, the ever popular Sno Beach is easily one of the most crowded businesses in town.  Located in an un-obscure, but high traffic, little building situated across from the Friends Church Cemetery in the Perry's Grill parking lot, the line can often be 20 people deep! 

Sno Beach features one of the largest varieties of snow cone flavors, which are rumored to be hand mixed by the owner, and can be enjoyed at one of their many thatched roof picnic tables. No tables available? Now they feature a large “umbrella bucket” full of oversized umbrellas to shade their loyal overflow patrons!  

The flavors are truly delicious, include a large variety of sugar-free options, and actually taste like their namesakes. Having a hard time deciding? No problem… they will allow you to mix and match! 

The next time you are out running errands on Friendswood Drive, make it a point to stop by - there’s no better treat on a hot sunny day!

So, with great pride, I can confirm that Birraporetti’s Restaurant is coming to Friendswood. "We're very excited about it," Donna Huckleberry, an office manager in their Houston office said. “Crews are preparing the eatery, which formerly housed Babbo Bruno's. But officials have not pinned down an opening date yet,” according to Huckleberry. Locals can already see the transformation beginning, with fresh exterior paint and a flurry of contractors working inside and out.
