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.

Wow, the chicken wings were so so so good. I can't even explain how good they were. The salade de chou was also great. Highly recommended.

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.
