I guess it's a question of ambiance. This place used to have the most amazing piped in music. It created an atmosphere that was distinctive. It was called Red Dirt Radio, and it really was. Texas artists who maybe didn't sell millions of streams, but packed venues. It still has the same name, but is bro country garbage. Really, Luke Bryan? Every time. It's not wrong to be different. It's not bad to have an identity. It is death to be generic. Just look at the industry around you and see how mainstream is the road to failure. Big Fellas has an opportunity. If it doesn't lose what makes a fella big. read more

Absolutely amazing experience,Heavenly gave great service and was super helpful.Highly recommend to anyone looking for good service !

I have been to my fair shares of ice houses, but I had never seen or been to one in Mansfield. I tried it out and it was a good time The menu offers a variety of drinks - beer, cocktails, signature drinks, etc. The bar inside is fully stocked. The menu also offers a variety of bar food The staff was helpful and attentive. The interior definitely has a theme of a sport bar catered to Cowboys fans. I try not to hold this against them as an Eagles fan. I will say that the patio is well-lit, trendy, and very inviting (nothing really cowboys related out there) Some tips: Try one of their signature cocktails. There are a lot of neat recipes, and they're worth trying. Also, if you want something to munch on, the wings are actually really good and are rather large in size Cheers!! read more

Big Fellas Ice House is located off Broad St and Cannon serving the local community of Mansfield, TX good drinks and great food in a beautiful setting. I came through on a weekday and parking was a breeze due to the ample parking provided in the parking lot. As I walk in I was greeted with a warm welcome and a smile. The place was fairly crowded with guest watching one of the many TVs provided throughout the restaurant . I decided to sit at the bar and place a order for a cold draft of Dallas Blonde. They have beers on tap along with a full bar of alcoholic beverages with bottle's and cans of beer. After browsing through the menu and seeing burgers, chicken, and appetizers I decided to go with the Carne asada fries. The fries came out and looked and smelt great! They were nicely garnished with cuts of Carne asada along with Pico and sour cream. The cheese was a Blanco that was perfectly melted and had a nice consistency. The star of the show was the waffle cut fries as to they were deep fried golden brown and were perfectly seasoned and salted. The flavor profile of the meat was great while all the flavors mingled together. The only downfall I would say was the portion they gave of the meat. If anything I felt they held out on the portion control and slightly garnished the fries with a dash of steak and toppings. Overall Big Fellas was a good place to get local drinks and food however the prices are steeper and the portions are smaller.I ended up having 2 large beers and the fries and after the tip and bill this establishment definitely left a dent in my wallet. read more

Solid service and a big +1 for having significantly better than average sports bar food. We had lemon pepper wings that were hot & flavorable, solid queso and a really nice surprise was the brunch items including a fantastic breakfast wrap. Large bar area / energetic staff. Plenty of game-watching TVs but a pet peeve of mine is under-utilizing wall space with undersized TVs. This place also needs a Golden-Tee machine! Great addition to the Mansfield area. read more

Stopped in for a drink and was warmly and entertainingly welcomed by Yaretzi.......we were only day drinking, and she made the best Moscow Mules we've ever had while being engaging and funny......Yaretzi alone is worth visiting Big Fellas, we look forward to our next visit read more

Atmosphere good Food--husband said chicken fried steak was good but my birria nachos had no flavor. Didn't even eat 1/2 of them. Beer--ordered large and mug wasn't cold. Told my husband it didn't taste right. Couldn't drink it. When she went over our order with us before running our card, she had not gotten me the beer I asked for. Might go again because I don't like to judge all my opinion on one trip but wasn't impressed. read more

I ate here last night........ The food honestly was not that good. This was my first time here. I ordered fries with steak on top. It was recommended to me by the waitress. Bless her heart but that was not good. The fries weren't hot and all the cheese mixture was at the bottom. I didn't even finish half of it. I also ordered an old fashioned and it was not good. I was mad I didn't go to the bar at Meehan's and get one. About the same price but Meehan's are a thousand times better. Everything ain't for everybody....I'll go with that. Service was good though! read more

Do not waste your time here. Food and service are horrible. Water down drinks and meh food.

Food was really good, I tried to buffalo chicken fries. The bartender was amazing and gave amazing service! I noticed servers and bartender were all very attentive. Asked guests if they needed refills before their drinks were done. read more

Great little addition to the growing area. It's nestled across from the golf course in a mostly residential neighborhood but will definitely become a regular in our rotation. They are on the smaller side but have a large bar and massive patio if the weather is nice. I assume the menu will grow as they open up the hours, but there was a nice variety, including Smashburgers, Birria, and a few salads if you want something light. The bar is already fully stocked with a decent amount of craft cocktails, including a San Antonio favorite, a Big Red Margarita. We started with the fried pickles, they have a light and airy coating, similar to a beer batter texture, but the pickles were thick enough to stand with it, and they were fried crisp. You can tell they make their own ranch, a gold star in my book, I could drink it. Food order included two smash burgers, the Buffalo Chicken Fries, Birria Tacos. The fries were unique, but in a good way - definitely would eat them again. Waffle fries, queso Blanco, and chopped up Buffalo Chicken strips drizzled with hot sauce and ranch, with sprinkles of crunchy bacon. The birria tacos were ok. The meat was great but would have liked them to be actually toasted. They had a floppy tortilla instead. Maybe throw a little cheese in there, too? The smash burgers were equally good. Super crisp patties, fluffy buns toasted golden, and fresh veggies. Our server, Ariana, was knowledgeable, attentive, and patiently walked us through the menu. The manager, Chad, stopped by multiple times to check on us as well! Try them out! read more

Initial review on 09/07/24. This is my updated review (12/10/24). After my first trip in September I was disappointed with the price of beer and the quality of our food. I thought "Let's give it one more try." So here's how it went.... We went last week for Sunday football and to my surprise there was only one game on one of the televisions (They have like 12 tv's). I asked them to put some more games on but they were having difficulty getting the remote to work with the box. The waitress was super sweet and tried hard but no luck. We ordered burgers, and food for the kids. The food was just not good. I am not trying to say bad things about the cook, because I'm sure he's a cool dude, just not good food quality (which may be a result of the owner/manager-I don't know). My wife did not eat her food at all, and the kids ate half. Even they were upset with their food. I'll eat anything so of course I ate mine. Much like the last time I went here I was not happy with the prices so I didn't even order a beer. This may be the first time I've eaten and watched football and not drank a beer. Needless to say, this was the last straw for me and I will not be returning. I highly DO NOT recommend this place. There are just too many options in the area to settle for high prices and poor food. read more

First time coming to this place and we enjoyed it! We tried several different appetizers and they were okay, definitely average bar food, we had the Mac n cheese bites , chips and queso , buffalo wings and fried pickles,..enough appetizers for two gals who just want to drink and chit chat about life, now the beer was cold and they have big beer pitchers 22ounces and deep ellum IpA on draft , they also had blood and honey but it was in a bottle and I just wanted a good IPA on draft! The waitress was so nice we really liked her, and our bartender was amazing! He made some Mexican candy shots and let me tell you they were sooooo good! You need to ask for them they have a chamoy and tajin rim and so yum! Mouth is watering! It's a new spot so I'll come back and try other appetizers, definitely having a Mexican Candy shot lol and a nice cold beer! It's a nice restaurant with Bar vibes and clean, lots of parking! read more

I was excited to go here after reading some good reviews. Unfortunately we did not have a great experience. My wife and I came here for lunch in the summer of 2024. They have a parking lot and we did not have a problem finding a space. Host and server were very nice and attentive. Ambience has a nice sports bar vibe. We did not sit in the patio but it has a very inviting look with some warm string lights. I thought the best part was the menu. It had a great selection or bar, lunch and dinner options. Lots of fried stuff which I like. All looked very appetizing. We ordered the steak egg rolls, hang over tots, waffle fries and fried chicken sandwich. We felt the food looked good but as others have mentioned, was very bland. Just not enough flavor for us which is a shame. The worst part of our visit was the chairs. Very uncomfortable. Rigid metal seats that slopes inward causing it to pinch our bottoms. I will not be going back. read more

Solid choice for a sports bar. Plenty of options on food. I liked that it is Texas foods- burgers, chicken fried steak, tacos. Went mid afternoon and there was only 2 other tables, so we had no issues with service. Food came out very rapidly. Judging a new restaurant on time isn't necessarily an indicator of how good it will be. Sure it sucks, but I wouldn't factor it into a review of a new establishment. All the food was good. Nothing blew my socks off, but good food. The fried pickles were tasty, as well as the house-made ranch. The tenders could have been a little juicier, but weren't bad. My dad said his burger was seasoned well, not just a patty. Look forward to viewing sports on their many many TVs! read more

Tried this place today at the suggestion of the Mansfield foodie group on Facebook and we were very disappointed. Lemon pepper wings were what we went for and even though they were served nice and hot and very crispy, but unfortunately had zero flavor of any kind, same with the jerk eggrolls. Place was almost empty and for a Sunday with a Cowboys game playing and every TV on that game that seems like it should've been an indicator from the minute we walked in. The service was excellent. They bent over backwards to make sure we had everything we needed and were on top of it, but unfortunately, we won't be back due to the food. read more

Do not go here unless you want to be ignored. Walked in at 702 pm, didn't have anyone come over for over ten minutes. Bartender talking on phone and with people at bar. Waitress finally can over, took drink order than another ten minutes to get one drink, not all that we ordered. Took 25 minutes to get drinks. read more

Wow! After a long day we stopped in here. There was a really good musician playing outside. Our server, Heavenly, offered up some really great meal suggestions. They have a nice variety on their menu and we all tried something different. The food was excellent and fast! The pretzel dessert was amazing! read more

If you're looking for a place to watch your favorite game this is this place. Great atmosphere for all sports. I came to Mansfield in early February for work. Since then I have made Big fellas one of my regular after works stops for supper and drinks. The staff are super friendly and quick to help you. It's a great place to watch any sporting event(even if you are not cheering for the local team) that you plan to watch. If it's not on, just ask and they will switch the channel! Good food great service!!! read more

Where do I start... The beer was too cold. The wings were way too juicy and crispy. The atmosphere is just too intoxicating for me. The cocktails were mixed too well. I can't believe they are getting away with presenting themselves this way. I can't believe the staff had the audacity to check on us so much. They wouldn't even let me finish my beer before they brought me another. I'll just have to come back tomorrow to give them a piece of my mind! In all seriousness, the only thing that they don't have is trivia night on Thursday's! I'll bring my friends if you want to start it up! read more

I can't say it is the worst bar style food I've ever had, but it wasn't great either. Both the birria and consume lacked flavor and the chicken tenders had a fried catfish vibe for the batter, also mediocre. The jerk chicken egg rolls, though unique, weren't a standout either. I had a piece of a bone in mine, so after that I was done. My husband liked them ok but this was a one and done spot for us. Probably a better place for drinkin'. Don't go for the food alone. read more

Worst food ever, prices too high for what you get. Waste of your time and money at this one.

I enjoy this place so much. The live music and the food was good, there was a hiccup though, they did not put the cheese on my tacos, that was a disappointment. But no problem they took care of it. read more

Really wanted this place to be good. Disappointed in the food. Got a $14.00 burger that was one of the smallest non tasting burgers I ever had. And I'am 68. Cool place, good bar, wait staff is great, just fix the food. read more

The staff was friendly and good atmosphere/location. Took my wife and my two boys. All was good until the food came out. Boys got nachos - that the chips tasted stale and only flavor was the jalapenos; wife got the shrimp/catfish combo - very bland, only two small catfish filets and four butterfly shrimp for a moderately high price. They were apologetic; but offered no solution. read more

We celebrated our daughter's 40th birthday at Big Fella's ice house. The atmosphere, food, and service were all excellent! We were there on a Sunday afternoon and sat in the patio area. The young ladies who took care of us were wonderful, and we all had the best time! I highly recommend them! read more

Owner is rude and the place isn't well kept there was roaches and the silverware was dirty. Food was mid.

Food was good. Service was awesome & our dinner out very timely & fresh. Definitely will return!

Atmosphere is good. Service above average. Food not that great. I would say it is a good hang out spot if u wanna catch up with friends.

The smash burger is my favorite and love their Moscow mules! The ambience inside the restaurant and the patio is awesome as well. The service was great! Will be returning! read more

Nice designed layout and we were looking forward to trying it out. Owner came up to our table as our waitress was explaining the menu and told us not to listen to her since she just started and doesn't know what she's talking about. Really belittled her right in front of us in a smug way. Seeing her face, you could tell how that made her feel terrible and embarrassed. Once he walked away, we gave her a tip and told her we can't support someone that treats people like that and we walked out. We won't be back and I hope that waitress moves on. She was very sweet and professional. read more

As soon as we walked in; the weird smell hit. We decided to walk right out. If the smell hits you as you walk in, I don't want to take my chances. read more

My husband and I stopped by today to check this place out. We'd driven by several times but hadn't had the time before. We enjoyed the ambience and the fried pickles were tasty. I love fried pickles and always want to try a new place that serves them. We also had the chips and queso and I had the strawberry lemon mojito. The drink was very good. The queso wasn't very hot and I do prefer my hot food very hot. It was creamy and flavorful though. My biggest complaint is that there were very few vegetarian options. The addition of a veggie burger and Margherita or vegetable Flatbread would definitely have me coming back. Our waitress, Avery, was fantastic​​ read more
