Had a late lunch and the waitress recommended the Mexican Burger. It was delicious! You’re ever in Albany, Texas stop at the Icehouse and grab yourself a Mexican Burger!

Yesterday, we traveled to Albany to have lunch at the Icehouse and check out the boutiques. We had all been to the Icehouse before, so we expected good food! We had the special and it was wonderful, but what was more impressive were the two young people who waited the table. They were awesome! —and we picked up some good reading material there too. The boutiques were just as awesome! It was a nice little road trip! Abilene peeps: not a long trip for a nice little outing!

Icehouse was amazing. The food is great, the pricing is fantastic, but the service can't be beat! Our 4 year old was having a really hard time when her dinner was a little behind. The servers Malia and Becky were outstanding. They recognized the issue and dropped a couple kid friendly treats at the table to help her settle and get back into the meal. We are stunned by the kindness, understanding and stellar service. We will be back! Thank you ladies for an amazing experience.

I had been hearing good things about Icehouse. Had the chicken fried steak. It was delicious. In fact it was one of the best I've ever had. Most definitely plan on eating there again. Comfortable environment and friendly service. Oh and the sweet tea was on point...not too sweet!

For a small town and the bargain price, this place was really good. Our server was excellent. My wife had the fried catfish which she really enjoyed. I had the mesquite grilled hamburger and it was very good. The mesquite smoke was very flavorful and the bun was exceptionally good, like it was made inhouse. The atmosphere wasn't appealing at all but the food and service was worth it and the prices were very reasonable.
