Old Town Ice House

Amazing burgers!

Thought we would try this since it is in our own backyard and we like supporting local businesses. The area is cute. Love the patio! Once inside, it smelled like a gas station bathroom. Our group proceeded to the front of the restaurant. You order and get a pager to tell you when to pick it up. The service was quick. The burgers weren’t anything special. The chicken sandwich was a square-like puck with no tenderness. I’ve never passed up a chicken sandwich until this one. It was hard to swallow. It was a special occasion so we tried to stay positive but agreed we would never go back in the end. No one in the group liked the food. A few of the fries were hard like they weren’t cooked. Someone said it was like eating styrofoam. We got drinks and the bartender was not-friendly or enthusiastic. Someone said she appeared annoyed by us and more interested in what may have been her regulars. It’s a shame. The outside area is so cute, we thought being new to this area, we had found our go to weekend eatery.

On a Thursday evening, we drove 30+ minutes to this restaurant just to find the doors locked tight, over an hour before their posted closing time. I called the restaurant while standing at the locked front door, and they did answer just to tell me how since it was a slow night, they closed early. I asked if that is normal, and they said yes, it is if they are not busy. Just a PSA. Can't speak to the food, etc. We were really looking forward to trying it out. If you have posted hours, those need to be followed unless absolutely necessary (in my humble opinion). Bummer!

Kid-friendliness: There's always kids there playing games in the back....

Good local hang spot.

I can't have gluten but I still love a good burger. I go to this place and ask for a bunless burger. It always tastes so good! Please note, mine is not a medical allergy so I am less concerned about a gluten-free kitchen.
