The first Waterloo Ice House opened its doors on Congress Avenue in 1976. It was casual neighborhood gathering spot serving hot, handmade meals and ice cold beer for an eclectic mix of Austin business people, students, artists and musicians. Over the years, Waterloo has become a place for whole family entertainment, including playscapes for kids, game rooms, flat screen TVs for watching various sporting events, large outdoor patios and full bars. There are now four Waterloo locations, which include the location at 360 and 2222, Burnet Road and 183, Escarpment Village, and Southpark Meadows. Waterloo Ice House still embodies that Hill Country spirit of gathering with friends and family for a cold beer and spending time together eating, laughing and talking. Each location prides itself in consistently serving fresh, homemade food and cold drinks, providing great service, and being a place where neighbors become friends.

- DRDavid Rios2 days ago5.0Food was great, service was amazing! Thank you to our waitress miss Alanis she was very helpfully with the large group we had!
- LCLeah CernosekNov 10, 20255.0This is our go-to Saturday night early dinner with the kids. The salmon in the salmon salad is always perfectly cooked, the frozen margaritas never disappoint, and the staff is always friendly and attentive. The kids love this location because they can (in their words) “eat, play, eat, play, eat, play” since the playground is so close (and very easy for us to observe them from the patio tables). As a bonus, you can pay with InKind. Love that the kids meals have an option for a side of fruit, and free ice cream at the end. Highly recommend!

- SVShane VadnerOct 23, 20254.0Great staff and cool spot with live music. Food is 50/50. Cooked well but some recipes are made with some basic as heck quality ingredients. Cheese on my omelet, for example, was just squares.
