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.

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.

The place was just down from our airbnb. Two of us decided to stop in for a beer. As we walked in, we both commented on how cool the atmosphere was. Service was great that night, & the food smelled incredible. 2 nights later we went with our group of 5 for dinner. The Burritos, Nachos, & Po'Boy sandwiches were incredible, not to mention the house specialty drink, Bourbon Lemonade. The service was incredible as well. They were very welcoming. Well worth checking out!!
