The interior reflects an unpretentious industrial aesthetic featuring rustic textures and communal seating arrangements that facilitate a direct focus on the food. Each dish relies on traditional smoking techniques to achieve deep, savory profiles throughout the extensive protein options. Patrons experience a consistent commitment to comfort food classics that honor the culinary traditions of the American South through precise preparation and robust flavor combinations.

Review Summary

Icehouse is widely regarded as a vibrant neighborhood staple in Montreal, praised for its intimate atmosphere, friendly service, and popular comfort food dishes like fried chicken, fish tacos, and bourbon lemonade. While many patrons celebrate the restaurant for its consistent quality, lively vibe, and suitability for groups or casual nights out, others have noted recent inconsistencies in food preparation, varying portion sizes, and occasional service challenges during busy periods.

J'étais un grand fan du Ice House, mais notre dernière visite a été très décevante. On dirait qu'il y a eu une baisse de qualité. Burrito au poulet frit avait juste du riz, de la salade & du poulet frit trop cuit. Le menu sur l'ardoise indique des ingrédients différents de ce qu'on a reçu, dommage.

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.

Recently moved to the neighbourhood. I love nachos, so I stopped in to try their nachos. Best nachos I've had in a long time! Topping to chip ratio excellent, got the boeuf chili added, highly recommend!

I will certainly be back to try other parts of the menu, like the burritos or fried chicken. Not sure how the business fluctuates when patio season ends, but I really hope they do well as a business! They deserve it, & you should definitely come try it!

Food was quite good. Consistent with what I have had there before, having gone once a year or so approx past 9 years.
Fried chicken here is my go - to & it did not disappoint. My cherry on top is their always exciting offering of spicy sauce. Quite spicy indeed but not tongue burning. My son said I was'crying' from the sauce, probably consumed 1/4 of the provided squeeze bottle of spicy sauce on my 1/4 chicken. The shrimp appetizer was quite good (more would have been better as i would say but no complaint), & my son .a burrito afficonado says it may have been the best burrito he ever had (fried chicken burrito), I offered to trade him to ahve some chicken for some burrito but he declined. Good service, great food & parking a little sketchy but hey...
Service was n-ice & personable, & pretty quick A smaller place that dont look like much from the street, but when you know you know.....
Overall did not disappoint. Keep it up (just not the prices lol)

The place was just down from our airbnb. Two of us decided to stop in for a beer. As we walked in, we both commented on how cool the atmosphere was. Service was great that night, & the food smelled incredible. 2 nights later we went with our group of 5 for dinner. The Burritos, Nachos, & Po'Boy sandwiches were incredible, not to mention the house specialty drink, Bourbon Lemonade. The service was incredible as well. They were very welcoming. Well worth checking out!!

A lot of hype but unfortuntately the food was simply not good. It had no taste & was overpriced... So many better options for Mexican food I had the steak burrito & my gf the bbq chicken. & carlos & pepes, three amigos cartel even taco bell or chipotle tastes better. Not an understatement the burritos were tasteless & expensive.Will not go back.

food is unbelievably greasy!
we had steak burritos, it had no flavour! Just a taste of grease!

Seats are very uncomfortable. You are sitting on a thin bench with no back support.

I'd say there are much better options to try other than this place
