Review Summary

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.

The person I am assuming is the owner/manager is warm & welcoming. He suggested ordering the whiskey lemonade & it did not disappoint. The taco I ordered was just okay. There isn't much meat in it, so for $13 for two, that was disappointing.

What bothered me is that I asked for a side order of their smoked potato salad, which sounded really interesting, but the waitress decided not to bring it because'someone else's meal comes with potatoes'...soooo I'm just supposed to force them share their food with me? I wanted to laugh when she brought it because there was only about 1 1/2 tbs of potatoes. To her credit, she did say she would bring some if I'really wanted it,' but she had no right to make the decision she did in the first place. That pissed me off, so I won't be returning.

Decent bbq meats. The fried chicken was slightly dry. The ribs were good & tender but very very saucy. The smoked potato salad was amazing.
The service was sort of bad but the restaurant was packed so I don't blame them. They brought us the wrong food & 1 of the guests got his food almost as we were finishing ours.

Wow, the chicken wings were so so so good. I can't even explain how good they were. The salade de chou was also great. Highly recommended.

Un dimanche, 18h15, nous arrivons au restaurant, plusieurs tables sont libres. Puisque nous ne sommes que 2 sur 4 convives, on nous fait attendre dehors. On se retrouve 3 couples à attendre dehors, pourtant, il y a de la place à au moins 3 tables & au comptoir. Le serveur/hôte est vraiment bête. Éventuellement, il nous est permis de nous assoir, nos amis arrivent, le service est lent & l'eau goûte l'eau de piscine, mais notre serveuse est sympathique & nous conseille bien, mais le serveur/hôte nous bouscule, fait de l'attitude & engueule les gens à la table à côté de nous.

Le menu est écrit au tableau à l'intérieur & nous ne pouvons pas le lire de la terrasse. En fait, même en allant à l'intérieur, il y a beaucoup de choses qui ne sont pas claires.

Pour la bouffe, c'est variable. Le sandwich au brisket est bon, mais la portion est petite & 12$ pour un sandwich sur un pain burger, pas de frites, pas de salade, je trouve ça cher. Mes amis ont aimé leurs crab cakes, le tacos au pelures de patates est correct mais le poulet frit est juste correct aussi. Ce qui est un peu décevant quand tu paies 38$ pour un seau complet. Ça venait avec un peu de salade de chou qui était bonne & de la salade de patates que personne n'aimait sauf moi. Nous sommes allé ailleurs pour le dessert parce qu'on avait vraiment hâte de s'en aller.
