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.
Nourriture excellente rien à redire. Mais payer 45$ pour un pichet de limonade bourbon (limonade meme pas maison) qui n'était pas identifié en passant. Quand la boisson coûte plus cher que 2 repas je trouve sa excessivement cher.
Straight up I had a really nice time, you should give this place a try if you haven't already.
It recently changed ownership after about a decade of the same guy running it. Apparently he was a well-known chef, but he wanted to retire to a farm. So a father & son bought it & now it has new life. The father (Sal) is the man in my review who is super nice & welcoming!
Food was great! You can't really go wrong with some southern classics like fried chicken, pulled pork tacos, ribs. Loads of flavour & good quality. Fun little ambiance & I'm sure the outdoor terasse in the summer is a great addition.

A cute little place for a bite. The Po' Boy was fantastic, as were the Fish Tacos. They have a great $14 Margarita between 5 & 7pm. Un petit restaurant génial!
Nous sommes habitués du Icehouse depuis longtemps & là c'est fini ‼️ Trop cher. Vendu il y a peu de temps & ça paraît. Service très moyen, il faut demander à boire. Burito au poulet dur frit, il est où le poulet❓❓Plutôt burito au riz trop cuit & fade. J'ai mentionné ce commentaire à la serveuse & … rien. Il faisait plus chaud à l'extérieur qu'à l'intérieur, ambiance, on était seul un samedi soir à 18:00. Musique trop forte . J'ai compris pourquoi. Fini le temps où on attendait en ligne à l'extérieur.
Nous sommes tombés par hasard sur ce resto & on a été ravis de l'accueil. Les côtes levées & poulet frit sont délicieux, des choix de Sauces piquantes intéressantes.
Très bon resto décontracté , parfait pour passer une soirée entre amis & se partager des plats, nous avons pris un tacos & un burittos. Il y a un bon choix de bières de microbrasserie, des drinks & des beaux spéciaux pour les 5 à 7.
C'était très bon. Mais je ne pense pas que 2 mini hamburgers sans accompagnement & 2 limonades valent 68$ soit 80$ avec le pourboir. Peut être qu'il y'a eu une erreur sur la facture je ne sais pas...

If you're a kid who grew up in Chomedey , Laval from the late 1970s to the mid 80's & have ever eaten at Moma Bears, they served the exact same fried chicken. Perfectly cooked with a sweet hint of maple syrup.
Best fried chicken in town. The oyster po'boy is to die for. The bourbon lemonade is super refreshing. Amazing smiling staff (Alexandra). We ll ge back for sure. Thx to the chef.
