Review summary

What guests say about Icehouse

Icehouse gets mostly very positive reviews for its friendly atmosphere, good music, and generally welcoming service. Several customers recommend the tacos, fried chicken, nachos, and drinks, saying the food is tasty and the place is great for hanging out with friends or celebrating. However, a few comments note a drop in quality on some visits and service issues, with long waits or inconsistent portions/quality. In short, it’s a good choice if you’re looking for a lively spot with well-liked Tex-Mex food, but the experience can vary depending on when you go.

Great place for tacos, fried chicken, and nachos. So good in fact we forgot to take photos!!! The tacos are larger than usual, and are jam-packed with flavour, the nachos with the chili is absolutely amazing, and the fried chicken is a highlight, with a sweet and crispy exterior and hot and soft interior. 😋😋😋 Thank you to the staff for welcoming us during our stay in Montreal, and we’ll definitely come back! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE COME AND CHECK THEM OUT!

Good service and waiters with a positive attitude. A local establishment with American rock songs playing, good grub and cold beers.

Stopped by Icehouse last week for the food! The staff was excellent, Ben in particular. He was topping off our drinks, knowledgable on the menu, and even had a quick intermission to play bass with band! What an absolute legend. Someone give this guy a raise!

Ive been frequenting this restaurant for over a decade now. The food is consistent across the years, delicious and straight to the point. Shout out to the fried chicken bucket, the chicken tacos and jalapeño poppers! I wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone who wants to enjoy a lively spot and good food! Best of luck to the new owners!

Been a customer since 2015 and sadly this place lost its magic. Food quality has gone down, recipes changed, and service is just bad. Ordered half a bucket today. 45 mins wait for soggy, overcooked fried chicken. Asked the waiter for some kind of explanation for the wait. He sighted and left. Please do better, this place is an institution

Very bad client service. We waited for more than an hour to get our order and there was a piece of plastic in the baby ribs. Also, one of the servers was very rude to some of my friends and 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 and 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 and 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 and it was perfect!

I ordered the fish tacos to go and the total was 19 bucks with tax and tip. It came with 2 tacos and the fish were overdone in the fryer. The service was great and great vibe but I found the value and quality poor for the price.

Had an amazing night celebrating my 30th Birthday. The drinks and food were flowing all night and everyone had a blast! 10/10 would recommend Icehouse for a private event or for a night out to watch the Habs!!
