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.

I had the brisket sandwich. It was so tender & tasty. A little messy but 🤷‍♀️. Lovely little place, though a bit loud.

Ancien garage transformé en restaurant: le Icehouse est une place idéale pour se remplir le ventre de nourriture grasse & passer un moment mémorable avec ses ami/es. Nous étions une table de quatre & nous avons commandé en entrée les jalapenos farcis maison. Très bonne entrée pour ouvrir l'appétit, mais un peu cher pour la portion servie. Nous avons ensuite commandé un seau de 10 morceaux de poulet & un seau de 12 morceaux de côtes levées de porc. C'était délicieux. Pour le poulet, les morceaux étaient gigantesques. Bien croquant de l'extérieur, mais un peu sec à l'intérieur. Une chance que le resto offre une variété impressionnante de sauce pour tremper la nourriture! Pour les côtes levées, celle-ci étaient parfaites. Elles étaient tendres, la viande glissait de l'os & elles étaient très bonnement marinés. Personnellement, je prioriserai à prendre plus de côtes levées que de poulet la prochaine fois. Ce qui est aussi marquant, c'est qu'il n'y pas de plat. Tout se mange à la main & tout se partage quand il en vient aux seaux. C'est une expérience qui, pour certain peut paraître salissante, pour d'autre est une occasion pour se divertir, se dégêner ou bien se sentir comme dans Astérix & Obélix autour d'un grand festin. Le serveur était super sympathique & drôle! C'est rare d'en croiser de ce type. Le seul bémol que j'ai à dire à propos du service est le temps que ça a pris à la cuisine pour préparer la bouffe, c'était un peu long.
