    Summmertime Beer!  Wow!
    Wayne W.

    Great place to hangout with Great Food and Great cocktails. Mauricio is a master mixologist! I had the Pizza and my wife had the salmon cakes. Both Gourmet and delicious. The patrons and the owner are a hoot as well. Lots of fun!

    A great outdoor seating venue (there is indoor seating, just quite limited). Reminded me of a lot of my favorite Hill Country venues, with a down to earth and down home welcoming. We had the Lee Lee's Berry Smash (a great balance of Berry, Citrus and Adult mixer... aka alcohol), Kelly's Back (A spicey but nicey- featuring fresh Jalapeño, so not for the faint of tongue!), Painkiller (not the famous version featured at a chain kitchen scratch place, but it's certainly a good one!) and Bloody Mary (not pictured). The food featured is from Knife & Whisk, a local catering company in town, they have an on-site catering wagon on the premises. (Separate review to follow because they DO in fact deserve their own glowing review as well!) We enjoyed the small charcuterie board, bruschetta, the Doc Holliday and Salmon Benedict- we couldn't finish it all between the 3 of us- so much 'yum'! The Pros- makes you feel like you are in a different place altogether, like a road trip adventure- without the hours on the road, non-stop bathroom stops, gas prices etc- it's right here in your backyard basically. The Cons- I can't even really call it a true con, but more of a heads up. The Knife & Whisk is separate than the 1880 Icehouse, so you will have 2 separate tabs. Not a big deal- but thought it was worth mentioning.

    Great little place just south of Main St. There's ample outdoor seating with a handful of tables indoors under the open garage doors. Cornhole games and live music are a staple, as well. Grab a sandwich, salad or pizza from the Knife & Whisk food truck. You're guaranteed to have a good time!

    They have lots of seating outside. They have cornhole games and the waitress told us they have live music in the evenings. We were too early for the live music. But we had a few beers and some food from the restaurant that's in the same area called Knife and Whisk. I had a Manhattan Project Half-Life and from the Knife and Whisk I had a chicken sandwich. Both were very good.

    Delicious food, good music, cold drinks. Yelp says they are closed but they are definitely not!

    Jalapeño margarita and Pain Killer
    Christie A.

    Perfect spot for an afternoon drink on a nice fall day. Jalapeño margaritas and Pain Killers were our picks. Bartender provided great service. We didn't eat from the little food truck but food at other tables looked great.

    Indoor Outdoor Experience!

Live music rollin' on the back covered patio, cool breeze blowin', and folks kickin' back enjoyin' the night--just about as perfect as it gets That tap selection? Whew... they got more choices than a cowboy's got excuses. Something for everybody, and it was flowin' smooth all night Now let's talk food... we grabbed some chicken wings and I'll tell ya straight--those things were spot on. Cooked just right, full of flavor, and didn't last long on the table And if you're feelin' a little competitive, they've even got corn hole set up so you can toss a few bags while enjoyin' the tunes and the crowd All in all, this place has got that perfect mix of good music, great food, and a laid-back vibe that makes ya wanna stay a while. Cowboy verdict: We'll definitely be ridin' back for another Friday night under them patio lights

The turn over seems high since every time I'm there the employees are different.. Today I sat at the bar. Ordered a water and menu. Then she walked away. I just wanted to place my order but after waiving her down twice and she didn't return I walked out. Once you order this place takes awhile at times. Hope this doesn't continue. Not sure when I'll return

I visited on a Saturday evening for an early dinner with my parents and sister. (Side note for Dallas residents: If you're familiar with the Katy Trail, it's worth the drive to see where it all began. When the Katy railroad tracks were removed in Dallas, the trail was born. While Denison doesn't have a trail today, the original depot remains, and it's a lovely place to explore.) The atmosphere at Stafford House is calm and refined, with deep burgundy tones, and brown leather accents lending it a warm, intimate feel. Service was quick, friendly, and attentive. We started with the steak carpaccio appetizer, which was savory and full of flavor. For dinner, the ladies each had the Airline chicken with mushroom risotto, while my father and I ordered the lamb T-bones. I swapped the vegetable medley for sweet potato grits, which were decent but lacked any noticeable sweet potato flavor. Definitely put Stafford House on your must-visit list. It's a beautiful little spot for a quiet, intimate dinner. And don't miss their adjacent bar--it's equally charming and perfect for a pre- or post-dinner cocktai
