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!

Very bad client service.
We waited for more than an hour to get our order & there was a piece of plastic in the baby ribs. Also, one of the servers was very rude to some of my friends & tried to force them to give them a tip saying'If you don't tip, you better not come back'.
Anyways, highly NOT recommended.

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!

Très bon repas, nous avons apprécié l'endroit & les tacos sont très goûteux. On recommande aussi bien la version croquante que celle traditionnelle. Le service à été rapide.

Ice House est le genre de petit resto sympathique que l'on est heureux de découvrir. Ambiance impeccable, nourriture succulente. Bon service & à prix très raisonnable. Je recommande fortement.

Un vrai délice, l'ambiance est chouette & le serveur super gentille. La nourriture est exactement ce qu'on attendait un peu épicé & délicieuse, on a prit avec mon compagnon le seaux à partage. Je recommande à 100%
