First and foremost I selfishly ask that no one start going here on the regular, because you will love it, and then I've gotta fight y'all for a table and Im trying to save the one good fight I have left in me for something really important, like the last bottle of advil at Walgreens... anyways. Go here a lot! I'll start with the vibe, its definitely an Icehouse, TVs with all kinds of sports everywhere and a huge open eating area, there is a stage for live music but it was empty when we went, but it was during the World Cup and Mexico was playing that night so not surprised at all. They have a nice outdoor patio with two pool tables. If you're going expecting a quiet evening for middle age ears, then your expectations need to be changed, this is not a place for grumpy corner booth eaters, this place is alive. The staff, from the moment we walked in it was nothing but smiles from every employee we crossed paths with, which brings us to our waitress T, yes just the initial T, calm down cause she was amazing. She kept our drinks full and never made us feel rushed, she was the perfect balance of attentive but also giving us space. If you get her as your waitress you will not be disappointed. The food, we ordered the fried pickles, the Assembly Smashburger, and a Cubano Sammich. The fried pickles have ruined fried pickles for me from some of my favorite fries pickle places, they are crispy and tart and simply delicious. My wife had the Assembly Smashburger, the only warning about this burger is the juicyness makes it messy, but thats one mess everyone should be ok with. And the Cubano Sammich forget about it, if you like Cubanos this is the place for you!! Give the menu a peep, bwcause it has options that tickle any fancy! In conclusion, if you leave the Asswmbly Icehouse unhappy its because you're a miserable person and nothing in life will ever bring you joy, so just stick with a corner table at McDonald's, eating your Chicken Nuggets and their immortal French fries, leave the happiness for everyone else at the Icehousw. read more

Queso Fuego Burger with Mac & Cheese substituted for fries. This is after sharing Chips & Queso with a Trio added. Eaten by a 62 year old man. It was great and I AM STILL ALIVE! Not too fuego. It's a messy burger to eat, but you can always wash up before you leave. OK to order if you've been married a long time or you're single. Not recommended for a first date, unless you don't see a second date in the future. read more

Great place, cool employees and lots of tv's. What else can you ask for? Personally, I had the cheese curds and they were great. read more

Newest bar on the east side. Visited while we were in the area. A couple of drinks and tried some appetizers. Typical bar but has an open feel concept. Which is really nice for people who like patio dining/drinking. They have great specials offering for lunch. That would be something to keep in mind next time I'm in this area. Service is typical bar service, no frills, just all chill. read more

Assembly Icehouse - Deviled Eggs - Sports Bars Near Me - Plano, Texas

This place is super fun! We went on a Saturday evening with a group of 13 and were able to snag a table right away, which was great because they don't take reservations. Really easy spot with kids and they have live music, which is so fun! Our waitress was awesome. Really easy going about our large crew and attentive to our table. Plus, she was quick to choose to split our check up from the start. We started with the cheese curds and they were so yummy! The marinara was not warm, though, so was a bit off putting having cold marinara to dip in. I opted for the cranberry chicken wrap with a side salad and LOVED it. So good. The side salad was a nice serving. My sister chose the hot honey sliders for her meal and she raved about them. My husband opted for the Southwest salad and he ate every bite. This place offered something for everyone. Loved their cocktails and the fun outdoor patio. Plus, there's a fun outdoor play area nearby. Parking was really easy right out front. read more

No doubt that Assembly Ice House will become a trendy hot spot in Plano (in my opinion) lol They just opened, and it was a thrill to see a place hit the ground running with good food, a full-service bar, and premium TVs showing the Dallas Cowboys lose in style (at least the ambiance softens the blow). Everything ordered in our group was delicious, fresh, and made to order. The menu is spectacular!! TIP: They take reservations!! There's a stage tucked in the corner (I suspect they will have live acts or maybe a DJ soon). If you know any performers looking for a gig, this would be a great place for them to inquire. The outdoor area offers that classic icehouse vibe, complete with a bar, TVs and a dog-friendly patio, perfect for kicking back when the weather's nice. It's got all the signs of success, a Plano favorite, especially since they own all of the venues in a row that makes the whole experience perfect: Assembly Icehouse, Tacoro and Cliff Coffee. read more

Friends told us about this hidden gem so on a nice afternoon we decided to check it out. We sat on the patio (all high top tables) and enjoyed playing a table-top game while perusing the menu. Our wait staff was really kind and did a great job keeping our water bottle filled, ice teas full and clearing away empty plates. We started with chips + queso which was enjoyed and when the chips ran out, they brought a refill. Our son enjoyed his Assembly Smashburger and was grateful for the double patty as they were thin! The bun was fresh and delicious and the french fries were tasty and well cooked. Our other son enjoyed the chicken and waffles, but ultimately wouldn't order it again. He said the waffle was okay, but the chicken was good and he'd rather just have the chicken next time. My husband liked the chicken sliders, but could have used more food. They were a good appetizer, but not filling enough for a meal. I enjoyed my Assembly Harvest Salad as a wrap. The portion of chicken was decent and the lettuce and other items were fresh. There was far too much dressing, but at least it tasted good! I would get this again, but just ask for the dressing on the side. ---- For a new place they are doing a great job. Our waitress said the menu has been tweaked multiple times, which is a great sign of a good chef willing to make changes as they are needed for a new restaurant. For ex: the Harvest Salad does not list cheese as an ingredient. I even asked when ordering it, BUT the chef did in fact include blue cheese/feta in the wrap. I had to send it back and both the waitress and chef apologized it wasn't listed on the menu, and would correct it. I think this place is going to be popular and attract all types of people. The large TVs and patio are dog friendly and kid friendly. The proximity to a community park across the street and the new Cliff Coffee Shop will draw people as well. read more

I give them 5 stars just for cooking in TALLOW! So hard to find any place using tallow. But the ambiance is great and location is great. I don't know if parking might become an issue when more people know about this place and other shops open up in the same shopping center. The food is reasonably priced and good options to enjoy with your drinks. Hopefully they will add a HH menu. Service was also great. They checked up on us often. read more

Wow! We found this amazing icehouse in Plano!! Opened in November. It is a great big space and will accommodate groups!! Carlos, our bartender, took great care of us. Great atmosphere and great service. We didn't even know this was here!! Huge patio area. Plenty of TV's! A must see & check out! Our drinks were on point. Perfect & the pretzel was awesome!! We will be back!! Love this place! read more

If I could give zero stars I would. Our waitress ignored us the entire time, we only got half of our food and no drink refills I had to physically go find our waitress for our check even after asking the waitress who was serving the next table for help. Terrible service and just okay food. read more

Ambiance is cool Food is delicious Service is good! Wife and I had a good time hanging out on the patio. They do need to focus as to what sports or events are going on and have them already que'd up on the TVs. Apart from that great hang! read more

We tried it for the first time today and it was great! We had the queso, sliders, and wings and we loved them all! Great atmosphere and awesome covered patio with fans. Lots of tvs and great waitstaff! We will be back! read more

So grateful to find this gem in Plano while it's still pretty much off the radar, I suspect it will be packed every day soon! We've been three times now. Every time has been a really good experience. First of all, it's a really nice, simplistic and spacious place. Lots of TVs for watching sports. A large, beautiful patio spans the north end of it, and the bar inside looks to seat about 34. Staff is friendly, including hostess, managers, ownership, servers, table bussers, and bartenders. One of our favorites is Kat. She makes really great cocktails, both those on the menu and those where you ask her to just play!! She can really sling some fine craft cocktails! She's also very kind, very attentive and has a delightful sense of humor. Let's talk food. We've tried several things! The spicy Philly Cheesesteak sandwich was good, but wasn't spicy - I think that part may have gotten forgotten. It's okay though, it was good as it was!! We also had the burger sliders, very good, didn't need mustard since the sauce that was on them was delicious. Being wing fanatics, we tried those too. Buffalo hot was good, looking forward to trying the lemon pepper next time, and to trying the other flavors they plan to add later on. They fry in beef tallow, which definitely makes everything tastes better!! Fries cooked more on the well done side are some of the best around (we like them a little extra crisp). The cheese curds were delightful, marinara and ranch with them were so good. But the best thing so far on the menu? The Truffle Spud Nuggets. Crispy on the outside, fluffy potato on the inside, a delicious aoli drizzled on and for dipping on the side. Those nuggets are one of my favorite foods EVER now!!! If I lived closer to Plano, I'd be in SO much trouble - I'd be there daily. Looking forward to the place opening next door to it as well, same ownership, and tacos and tequila!!! read more

I so want to love this place, BUT they need to get their stuff together, First visit was good, but they charged us incorrectly. 2nd visit, had the special/HH cards on the table, but they didn't charge according to card, they did remove the cards and honored for 1 drink each. Today, they somehow messed up our order of onion strings, the waitress apologized and said the manager would comp (he did NOT). Got our bill, they charged us $5 for Coors lite and $4 for Miller, after we asked, they changed that, but we had points on app for free app, they didn't remove that or comp the onion strings. The atmosphere is cool and they have plenty of employees, they just can't get it together!! read more

Griffin, you're directing this message at the wrong group of families. We were paying customers, and my child is two years old -- expecting toddlers to sit silently is unrealistic and frankly unreasonable. There was zero vandalizing or damage done by anyone in my party, and it's disappointing that you're trying to rewrite the situation instead of taking responsibility for how poorly it was handled on your end. Also, a piece of advice: a grown man should never speak to a mother about how she should raise or "control" her children. It's disrespectful, unprofessional, and completely out of line for someone representing a business. I will also be following up with Yelp regarding your message and the misrepresentation in your response. We stand by our experience and our review. (For future reference, please do not message me private message again with threats or attempts to intimidate a customer. This is not appropriate behavior for any business owner, especially a new one.) read more

Amazing staff and we love the food and the beer is cold. Plenty of TVs for football and everything else!! read more

Assembly Icehouse - Smashburger fries and cheese curds - Sports Bars Near Me - Plano, Texas

First time here. Staff friendly, limited food options, especially if you don't like Brussel sprouts or cheese curd. Beer selection is the usual with a few locals thrown in. The main complaint is that it's overly and unnecessarily loud. It's impossible to talk to the person next to me without shouting in their ear. Music should be ambient and not dominating. I come out to socialize, I have a car or eat buds for loud music. Turn it down! Can't see myself being a regular at these decibels. [Update] Thank you to the owner for their response, however they seem to have mixed up the volume of the live music (no problem with loud) with the piped in music (too loud). Maybe I'm just getting old but shouting to someone on the next barstool is not my idea of a fun night out). read more

Everything I have had on the menu is fantastic. The Chicken Caesar Salad wrap, the Assembly slider burgers, and the Zang wings, to name a few are my favorites. Highly recommend. read more

We've been very excited to finally have a trendy, unique neighborhood bar and restaurant open up in East Plano, and Assembly Icehouse does not disappoint! We had the spicy Philly sandwich and the chicken and waffles, which were both delicious. Carlos's service at the bar was terrific and the rest of the place was alive and bustling. The vibe is wonderful, the space is open, and the music is great. Tons of TVs for game days. Can't wait to try Tacoro, the new taco place it's connected to, when it opens! read more

Sat in the outdoor setting. Love the area it's in, cute outdoor backyard games. The service was fast and kind. We came for a snack and quick drink, beer was cold and food was HOT and FRESH !

Cool new place in an appears to be some new business development. Fries were great. Saw other reviews recommending them. Both bartenders were super friendly and 2 different managers/owners (not really sure) checked in on us and offered to put whatever game we wanted on the TV in front of us. read more

Service was excellent. The food? Good, but the cheesesteak sandwich was soggy. The venue was certainly great for families with kids.

Came for New Year's Day! Was excited to try the place!! My husband wanted a cider- not available, we ordered chicken and waffles-not available, we ordered a chicken Caesar wrap- not available. Basically no chicken products were available except wings. We ordered a bunch of appetizers to share with our party of 4, and I'd say they were average. Didn't really walk away loving anything. Manager was not present, no one ever came to apologize for the unavailable menu items. I'd love to try it again, because the atmosphere is super cool. read more

We came in on a Sunday after reading some positive reviews. We were searching for a locally-owned place with great service, good food, and some TVs to watch football. This place hit the mark for us in all aspects. While they did not have every NFL game, there were plenty of TVs with the games we were interested in. The service was amazing(thanks to Jay and Lucy) and the food was very good. Tallow fries were hot and crispy and the smash burger was juicy with a great sauce. We loved the chips and queso and the drinks were spot on. We highly recommend and will be visiting Tacoro and Cliff Coffee which is all in the same area owned by the same individuals. We plan to visit again for drinks and sports watching and hope to come for live music as well. read more

I love that the drinks are reasonably priced, and it's easy to spend hours here. There are plenty of TVs inside and lots of outdoor space for kids to play. The patio setup makes it easy to keep an eye on them. Our waitress was fantastic. She even offered to grab food for us from the Mexican restaurant next door if we didn't find anything we liked on the menu! read more

This is a great spot to stop in and grab a drink with very affordable American style cuisine. Everything was pretty fresh and the staff were very attentive. I've already been twice and I can't wait to go again and try something else on the menu. They had the garage doors up and the atmosphere was very chill, one night there was even a band. I can't wait to see how this place continues to thrive! read more

Sooooo good. The apps have me locked in. Drinks and service are top notch. My go to are the wings, water, a glass of wine = perfection. my favorites are the lemon pepper wings (will be the death of me) also the buffalo cauliflower, and queso. This will be a weekly occurrence I fear read more

Samantha was amazing. Made our hang out for the game so fun and kept the kiddos entertained!

Elijah Perez was very nice. He had very funny jokes. Give him the tickets. He is a good server.

8 o'clock on a Friday night and the inside was empty and some people on the patio. Cool concept but needs some help. We had to repeatedly ask for water refills and after ordering a couple drinks we were never asked if we wanted another drink the rest of the time we were dining. The beef tallow fries and spud nuggets were very good. Queso was also solid but they were out of spinach dip at 8pm on Friday. Also they were out of draft shiner, how does that happen on a weekend. 4 smash burger orders and none of them were correct and 4 items came out at once and the other 2 dinners came out 15 minutes later. The smash burgers were good just not hot for as long as we waited. My Wife asked for grilled chicken Sandwhich and was brought a fried chicken Sandwich. Order was corrected after another 10/15 minutes. I had to show server how I could pay using the inKind app. He had never seen it and had no idea. Glad I had a $25 off coupon to encourage trying this place We were not offered any kind of discount for all the mixups. 2 side salads forgotten. We had to request our salad dressing 2 times. I had high hopes and I hope they can fix the service issues. If they had been busy we would still be waiting on our food. If you go be patient prices are reasonable read more
