South Texas Ice House, "Texas Cuisine" Products from the Texas Gulf to the Texas Hill Country.

"The huge snake logo on the outside of an otherwise nondescript building -- created by Bob "Daddy-O" Wade, best known for the oversize boots that front San Antonio's North Star Mall -- is your first hint that this place might be a bit, well, different. Inside, cowboy kitsch, 1950s diner decor, and Mexican folk art mingle, as do workers from the nearby county offices, local movers and shakers, and anyone else looking for terrific food that, like the decor, defies easy categorization.

Call it South Texas gourmet. You can really taste the chipotle chilies in the tartar sauce that comes with some of the best crispy oysters this side of the Mason-Dixon Line, and the Gulf fish tacos are gussied up with chili lime aioli and Tabasco jalapeño onions. You get the idea -- lots of spicy dishes."

    First time dining here. This place is everything we love about Austin. The service was outstanding. My wife had the lamb chops and ordered a side of potatoes to make it a meal. The lamb was nothing short of perfection. Perfectly charred and seasoned and grilled to a nice pink center. Amazing flavor and highly recommended. It was a very warm night but the misters and fans on the patio made it comfortable.

    We had a great experience first enjoying many of the cocktail creations, the brunch options, we shared the frito pie as an app everyone loved that idea. We had very attentive service, dining with a precious live music loving toddler they accommodated our need to move outside right before our main entrees were being delivered. Yummy Biscuits and gravy and enchilada plate on same menu…you cant go wrong here something for everyone.

    The experience would have been better if the website or open table informed us about their “company policy” of only 3 cards for payment with large parties. Initially, I wanted brunch at a different restaurant but they had the same policy and it was stated. I didn’t want the headache so I chose this place, after reading every fine print. I wasn’t aware of the policy here until after it was time to pay. After sometime of us trying to figure out the tab, he came back and said he could only take 6 cards now. Some policy if it’s a gray area. We ended up paying with one card, even after we over heard them speaking poorly about us. The food was good, drinks were too sweet for my liking, the service was good as it was just a one man show, but very underwhelming after overhearing them speak poorly about us, regarding the payment.
