About

Icehouse specializes in authentic Texan barbecue and vibrant Southern cuisine that emphasizes bold flavors and high quality ingredients. The menu centers on expertly seasoned fried chicken paired with house-made honey butter and spicy hot sauces that define the regional culinary profile. Diners encounter a selection of flour tortillas filled with slow-cooked proteins and fresh garnishes representing traditional taco culture. 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.

Ive been frequenting this restaurant for over a decade now. The food is consistent across the years, delicious & straight to the point. Shout out to the fried chicken bucket, the chicken tacos & jalapeno poppers!

I wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone who wants to enjoy a lively spot & good food!

Best of luck to the new owners!

Been a customer since 2015 & sadly this place lost its magic. Food quality has gone down, recipes changed, & service is just bad.

Ordered half a bucket today. 45 mins wait for soggy, overcooked fried chicken. Asked the waiter for some kind of explanation for the wait. He sighted & left.

Please do better, this place is an institution

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.

Definitely a must try.

Amazing across the board!

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!!

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!

Fried chicken to die for. I crave it sometimes, lol. We enjoy going there for an early dinner & a couple of bourbon lemonades. Music is good & service as well. Very familiar & easy going spot.
