Reviewers describe Icehouse as a warm, unpretentious spot with a welcoming vibe, where generous portions and solid flavors anchor a menu that ranges from fried chicken and ribs to tacos and seafood. The fried chicken is frequently praised for being juicy, crispy, and well seasoned, the brisket sandwich is often divine, and the shrimp po'boy and Baja fish tacos get notable accolades for taste and texture. Drinks are highlighted for being well crafted, with margaritas and bourbon lemonades mentioned as standout options, while the atmosphere is repeatedly described as intimate and lively with friendly service and fair prices. Some diners note occasional hiccups, such as a misstep with a reservation, items that can be saltier or overcooked, and occasional beverage pricing quirks, but improvements under new ownership are also mentioned. Overall Icehouse comes across as a dependable Montreal favorite that blends comfort food, good drinks, and a welcoming setting.
I ordered the fish tacos to go & the total was 19 bucks with tax & tip. It came with 2 tacos & the fish were overdone in the fryer. The service was great & great vibe but I found the value & quality poor for the price.
Had an amazing night celebrating my 30th Birthday. The drinks & food were flowing all night & everyone had a blast! 10/10 would recommend Icehouse for a private event or for a night out to watch the Habs!!
First time at this restaurant Tuesday March 3rd.
I love this place. Has a nice & close to the heart vibe to it. The food tastes amazing!!! The beef, pork, chicken taste so good I'm gonna become a regular for sure. The meat marinade, sauces & appetizers also are a must try!!
The owner is very friendly! 🤜🤛
Highly recommend this place 👏🏻
De retour au Icehouse après y être allé à quelques reprises quand ça venait d'ouvrir. Dans mon souvenir les plats étaient plus goûteux, surtout le burrito au steak que j'ai du arroser de sauce piquante. Portions généreuses par contre & le poulet & crevettes frits sont délicieux.
We chose this restaurant for our staff party at Burton Snowboard, & it was the best decision ever. The food was incredibly good, & the staff were very attentive.
truly our kind of place-& we can't believe it took us this long to discover it. A long-standing favorite for many, it now firmly holds that title for us too. The space is intimate & refreshingly straightforward, with great food, great drinks, & prices that feel more than fair. Every part of the experience hit just right.
The brisket sandwich was divine: melt-in-your-mouth tender, perfectly smoky, & deeply satisfying. The shrimp po' boy was phenomenal, & the fish Baja tacos were nothing short of incredible. Add to that drinks that were as fun & well-crafted as the lively atmosphere & music, & you've got a place that knows exactly what it's doing. To top it all off, the service was genuinely lovely. A total win from start to finish.
I love this place ! Eric in the kitchen is great! Fried chicken is amazing... best fried chicken to be honest. It's juicy & crunchy. The batter is TOP. Jalapenos Poppers with ranch, 7 layers with the good kind of tortillas chips. They have Tacos as well !!
There's also this Italian Father-Son duo that I adore , great service & great conversation.
À notre arrivée, il y a eu une légère confusion en lien avec notre réservation. Par contre, ils ont réglé la situation assez rapidement & en plus nous ont compensé pour le malentendu. Un excellent service!
La bouffe est incroyable. Le poulet frit est tendre, juteux & croustillant sans être trop gras. Les portions sont très généreuses & les prix raisonnables.
Use to come here religiously in university with my buddies from 2021-2024, made a trip down memory lane tonight for a solo dinner & couldn't be happier. Although under new management this year, I couldn't notice a difference & only noticed improvements (especially in $). Father + Son owners were legends, I'll defiantly be back for the $1 wing nights when habs play (go leafs)

The service was impeccable, thanks to Zach & his team. I highly recommend the margaritas with your meal. I tried the fish tacos, the fried chicken tacos & the crispy tacos with beef & I was impressed. Everything was delicious, although the fish was overcooked & therefore quite crispy! If you can make it for dollar wings, take advantage of it!!
