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.

Like... the best margaritas, the best spot, just tucked in steps away from vibrant st laurent, & just... but just... no kidding, BEST fish tacos i've ever had. Literally felt like i was in Costa Rica by the beach.

Recently moved to the neighbourhood. I love nachos, so I stopped in to try their nachos. Best nachos I've had in a long time! Topping to chip ratio excellent, got the boeuf chili added, highly recommend!

I will certainly be back to try other parts of the menu, like the burritos or fried chicken. Not sure how the business fluctuates when patio season ends, but I really hope they do well as a business! They deserve it, & you should definitely come try it!

Le décor est sympa & aussi le fait qu'ils proposent des côtés levées ce qui est peu commun dans le quartier.
Attention cependant aux coûts cachés !!! Ils ne remettent pas de cartes des boissons. Ils vous font choisir à l'aveugle & ne se sentent pas gênés de faire facturer 11$ une ptite cannette aromatisée au cassis & sans alcool.
Bilan de la soirée : 6 côtes levées & 2 boissons, après taxes & tips : 50$
