Favorite place to get a simple, american style meal . Salads, burgers & more! My fiancé and I love to come here and sit in. Great atmosphere and super friendly staff. Always very clean and the best sweet tea in the area (just my opinion, it's on my best sweet tea spots list). 👌 Highly recommend if you want a simple meal and to relax inside.

We have come a few times and The Willie burgers were exceptional, their chicken pecan salad was big and wonderful and their seafood platter was large and very tasty.
Last visit our French fries and sweet potato fries were barely warm.
The bread pudding was dry and the sauce tasted like pure alcohol.

Willie’s Ice House never disappoints, and the service is a big part of why we keep coming back. Gerry’s service is excellent — he’s always helpful, proactive, and makes sure everything is taken care of before we even have to ask. It’s rare to find someone who consistently goes above and beyond, but Gerry does it every time.
Great atmosphere, great food, and exceptional service. Highly recommend!

Really enjoyed my dinner tonight at Willie’s Grill and Icehouse in the Woodlands. The service was phenomenal, shout out to Kim to making sure our order was correct and getting our drinks out in a timely manner. I really enjoyed my $2 margarita and my skinny Rita that followed! The mac and cheese brisket balls were delicious and so was my Texas fried chicken club. 10/10 recommend this location for the great service and great food on a beautiful patio!

We had such a great experience at Willie’s Icehouse! The food was delicious and came out quickly, but what really made our visit stand out was our server, Gerry. He was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed the entire time. You can tell he genuinely enjoys taking care of his customers — it’s rare to find service that good these days! We’ll definitely be coming back, and we’ll be asking for Gerry again next time.
