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.

Review Summary

Icehouse is widely regarded as a lively and welcoming neighborhood gem known for its Tex-Mex inspired comfort food and laid-back atmosphere. Many patrons praise the standout fried chicken and flavorful fish tacos, often highlighting these dishes as some of the best in Montreal. While the restaurant has built a reputation as a go-to spot for groups, celebrations, and casual dining, recent experiences have been mixed. Some long-time customers feel the quality has fluctuated under new management, noting issues with service consistency and occasional overcooked meals, while others continue to enjoy the vibrant energy, friendly staff, and consistent flavors that have defined the experience for years.

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.

I hate to give bad review on a restaurant but sometime a constructif feedback is needed. I went there today with my family, we was told that they had another big group so they tried to sit us on a 4 people table even tho we were 6 mind you we are tall family 😂 The server kinda made a big thing out of it giving us an extra table, but with alot of attitude.

He was alone so I tried to give him the benefits of the doubt. But they way he kept answering back with a considering tone was just not cutting it for me. You can be busy, stress & overwhelm I am super understanding to a point. But if you take our order, fixing a tv not really making contact with us? Its awkward. He left in the middle of taking the order. A whole mess. Maybw have someone help the serve will be a good idea. It was very long to get our order. I ordered an appetizer & get it after my main dish.

The food overall was SO GOOD tho! The ribs were a bit overcooked. But everyone else liked their meal. So my rating mainly goes to the customer services.

Delicious fish tacos! I asked for my Bourbon lemonade to be diluted to cut the sweetness a little & it was perfect!
