Go here every time Mojiles plays. Never had a bad time. And our waitress is always so much fun. She’s very kind. Price per person $30–50 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Hamburger
Guess there's no more live music on Sundays or Mondays, all used to love hearing a band after a noon or 3 pm games but that stopped too. It's unfortunate that the weather is getting so nice and time change is coming. I've definitely been a very loyal customer since day 1 and it's sad to see so many people not there anymore. There's a pretty large group of regulars who have been extremely loyal and we used to be treated very nicely and felt very welcome...... nowadays, it almost seems as if we are a nuisance and not as welcomed. I have watched so many changes in management and staff, I've also watched the extreme decline in patrons coming in over the years. The main attractions are the live music daily with no cover and the patio during beautiful weather. Guess bigger TVs were more important. I have been involved in the DFW music scene for over 20 years and I know many very talented singers/musicians who have sent in videos and tried to get on this venue but they never even get a response. I know a few amazing and local favorites who refuse to even play here again. There's been plenty of times where bands are double booked or the calendar is completely wrong and no shows. It sucks to plan your evening and take time to get ready or invite people out because you are excited about an artist just to show up and find out there's no music at all! I realize Boomerjacks are booming all over the state but that's no reason to let this "one of a kind place" to go down hill. This place also used to advertise often and give plenty of notice for events, not so much now though! Again, I guess the business is not wanted or needed. The menu has also changed and not for the better (in my opinion). I was pretty close with some past managers and recall this being the place in the company that hit the biggest numbers at one point. The points have not been working for quiet some time and every time I try to redeem them, I can't. No big deal but it might be to others who come expecting the free meal they deserve from all the money they've spent and then find out they have to pay out of pocket. I understand that after Covid, yall decided to close at 12 on weekdays instead of 2, which I completely understand but in week nights and weekends when it is 11:25 or 1:20 and the lights come on and they turn the music off and waitresses are walking around yelling to finish drink or trying to take it from people, that's ridiculous! There are nights when the temperature is not too cold or hot but yet we can not open the garage doors, why, this is another perk of the place but at times, staff just does not feel like it. If it is requested or people are sitting outside, what is the problem? It's just rude and inconsiderate. Regulars, or anybody for that matter, should be able to call and reserve tables for a birthday party if they choose to, most establishments would welcome this, not Icehouse anymore. I have parties every year where at times I bring in 30-50 people but yet I can't reserve any tables at all! Just tell people to show up but tell them "hey not sure if you will be on the other side of the place or even be able to get a chair in case you want to spend more money and chill a while or eat". I will not even address the bathrooms. Either way, it's such a shame for locals and local musicians and people who do support live music and local bars (especially since we experienced Covid) to watch such a fun, once very busy, place with so much potential go down hill. I guess if the goal is to run off local regulars who fully supported the place during a crucial time and still do, and a goal to not get new customers in or coming back, well y'all are doing a great job! Other bars in the area are starting to get much busier with the same people and workers.Some people do not have family and they have found a circle or family within whatever establishment they go to and this may be there only break away from the stresses of life so it is a shame that this place has been that place for so many people and we all see it just changing and going downhill!

I went there to see Ninety 2 Nothin (great 90s rock band covering Pearl Jam, Nirvana, and tons more). I ordered the Chicken Fajita Salad and really enjoyed it. Super friendly wait staff. Fun vibe for a Saturday night out. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
Our Server Tori was spectacular. Warm, kind, and a social butterfly! Good food and live music. I’ll definitely be returning to have Tori serve us again! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Our service was excellent. Katie was so awesome!! She kept the drinks full and made sure we were all taken care of and we're having a good time! She needs to be a manager and show all the waitresses how to make your customers feel like special! She deserves a raise and praise!! 💯💯♥️🏆🏆🏆 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

We will definitely be back. I had the brisket dip, husband had the Nashville hot, we both were happy. Our favorite part of the meal was the fried pickles for sure. Very friendly staff, excellent service.

Nice bar restaurant music venue. Saw the Still The One Shania Twain Tribute that night. Went back the following week for the Tue Night Jam and had the wagu country fried steak. It was very good. A friend had a burger and fries said it was great too Went back Good stuff. We I had the Wagu chicken fried steak mashed and a salad at Bedford Ice House the other night. Can't believe I didn't get a photo of it lol. The salad drenched in ranch was about huge 😆 Good but not as good. Their BBQ honey wings last night that were on special that. Slightly overcooked imo but still good with the sauce and ranch Next time I'll have to do a repeat performance on that chicken fried 😋
