- VWVictoria Ward2 days ago5.0I had such a great experience here! Our bartender, Raven, was absolutely amazing — genuinely one of the highlights of the visit. She was incredibly attentive, super sweet, and made sure we always had what we needed without ever feeling rushed. Her energy really made the whole experience feel personal and welcoming. Between the great service and the fantastic food, this is definitely a place I’ll keep coming back to. Huge shoutout to Raven for making the meal even better!
- EReric r4 days ago5.01/9/26- Came for happy hour and dinner. Raven was behind the bar helping us and she was a ROCKSTAR! She was very attentive to the bar and the tables she had behind us. She was very friendly and always had a smile. She made coming here a much better experience. The food was really great too. The crab boil and blackened Redfish were amazing. If you're looking for a place to have a drink and eat good food with the family look no further. Bonus if your server is Raven!
- JTJennifer Talackine4 days ago5.0Willie’s Icehouse is amazing. I promise you will find something you like. The atmosphere is amazing. The food hits home. And the beer is cold and quenching. I come here often either alone after a day of tennis or with the hubs to end the long day. I’ve had nearly the whole menu and there’s nothing I can complain about. The new Chipotle ribeye nachos surpass the original menu item. The boils, especially the crawfish is one of the best I’ve had. Tonight we came to start the weekend after a great holiday and Bella was our server. She was super. Sweet, kind and attentive in the perfect way. Hope to have her as our server again. This place has become our home away from home so to say. Especially nice it’s just a short drive. ☺️
- DMDita Marlo6 days ago5.0First time here. We had great service from Abcde. Your manager Debra was so accommodating. She answered our questions with ease and guided us through our options. What she recommended was so delicious. We didn’t want a heavy lunch. The tortilla soup and the strawberry salad she recommended was just perfect for lunch. We will come back now that we are members.
- MMMichelle MichelleJan 2, 20262.0So we come often 2 weeks ago we got my older kids the big Tex meals loved them came with nacho cheese and chips. Come again to bring kids and parents .
