Don't ya hate it when you're at the restaurant, see a few items you like, and can't decide which to ultimately go with? Me too. At Phil's Icehouse, you don't have to worry about that if you are unsure as to which hamburger you want to order as they have a Mini Burger Sampler Basket which comes with 3 slider-sized burgers and a side of regular and/or sweet potato fries for $10.45. The 3 flavors I got were: - The "78704": burger topped with Monterey Jack cheese, jalapeños, onions, avocado, and chipotle mayo - The Rosedale Burger: cheddar mesquite burger topped with onions, pickles, cheddar cheese, and sweet mesquite BBQ sauce - The Crestview Burger: a chili cheeseburger topped with onions and mustard That's probably the 3 burgers I would suggest to anyone because they're all different in their main flavor (spicy/refreshing vs. sweet/tangy vs. rich/savory) and they're delicious. The sourdough buns are amazing as well as they're very soft. Great price and the food came out fast as well. No complaints whatsoever. I give them a 4.5/5 for being amazing, y'all gotta add this spot to your list! read more

Love their burgers, and OMG their sweet potato fries are Phil's has def become one of my top 10 places to eat in Austin

Great place. Several of the burgers sounded good, so we both went with mini burgers so we could try different things. I love that they have that option! My favorite was the Rosedale. I love a good BBQ and cheddar burger. The 78756 was also good, but I meant to order the 78750. I guess I'll have to go back! On the sides, we had the fries, onion rings, and sweet potato fries. The onion rings were the stand out. They are think and the batter was great. We also liked the fries. Well salted. The sweet potato fries were average. Great outside seating and very dog friendly. The staff noticed our dog and brought out a water bowl. So nice! Online ordering was easy and the food was ready quickly. read more

YUM!! This place has the best burgers and fries omg. The bun was a soft little cloud. They offered mixed fries. MIXED. SO YOU DONT HAVE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN SWEET POTATOES AND NORMAL POTATOES. Consider this a love letter to Phil's. Definitely worth all the hype. read more

This is one of my friend's favorite burger places in Austin. I thought that the burgers were good too and I like the mini sampler basket option so that you can try multiple burgers since they have such a wide variety. I don't remember what I ordered besides that 2 of them had numbers in the name. Expect to leave feeling pretty heavy! Overall, good burgers, good variety, and good value. read more

Phil's Icehouse - Mini Burger Sampler Basket - Burgers Near Me - Austin, Texas

Burgers, Dogs, Fish Sandwiches, Shakes, Ice Cream, Beers, Photo Booth....and a Playground! This place is set up for success and it delivers. Quality of ingredients is high, prices are average and cook time was fast. I am not a fan of their Buns though. Buns are way too big and causes ratio for a good sandwich to be lost. Atmosphere is great for families and anyone just wanting to enjoy an old fashioned meal. The food itself is pretty damn good. Mixed fries are the way to go and their soda machine has natural soda, score. Staff could have been a bit more engaged but it's cool. It's a burger joint and it's meant to be super causal. I just think if there's 4 people at a register and a guest approaches, they should be greeted by at least one employee. But again, all good. read more

Austin has much better burgers to offer than Phil's. I thought that people only came here so that they can let their children play at the play space. Not for the food. The fries are soggy and the burgers are mediocre at best. The yam fries were soggy as well. Maybe Phil's has changed ever since I went many years ago, but I still think Phil's is on par with McDonald burgers. At least McDonald's has a better, larger play space that has cushions on the floor in case your child falls. The parents are definitely at Phil's so that they don't have to entertain their kids while they talk to their friends. The table next to us neglected to pay attention to their three(?) year-old son so much that he stripped and just ran around the play space for the rest of the customers sitting outside to see his baby genitals flopping around. By the time my group left, the mother and father still haven't realized that their son was butt naked. Other than that, Phil's does not seem to be busy nor should parking be problematic. The busiest time is during lunch and late morning. read more

Nice people, beautiful building, decent burgers. I love the onion rings and the Phil-uh-buster. read more

Got the grilled cheese (+ avocado) & sweet potato fries to go. Delicious but massive. Wish they would cut the sandwich in half. Phil's is also great -- and reliable! Plus, the cashier has been there for years so they must be doing something right! read more

This is a pretty decent spot for a burger. They have alternative patty options if you don't eat beef, like a turkey patty. They also have gluten free buns! So a great burger place for those with allergies. The burger itself was good and the fries were too. It was nothing out of this world, but it was a good price and good quality. The service is also good; they are always very nice and the wait isn't too long (but they do make your burger to order, so it takes a bit). I'd come back if I was really craving a burger. read more

It's 5 stars for what it is... a burger spot. Nothing fancy but good casual food. The burger is probably a pre-made patty but perfectly cooked where the outside is a little charred and the middle isn't dry. The bun is called sourdough roll but it's really not sourdough at all ‍ I would say it's more a broche since it's more sweet than sour, but it's really soft and works well to hold the burger and toppings. And Fries both regular and sweet potato are on point! They serve beer and wine (sometimes) and of course there's a playground. They share a patio with Amy's ice cream and that lends for a perfect night out with the kids. read more

I've ordered from Phil's through Uber Eats. I've gotten the Phil-a-Buster with a side of onion rings. The burger was amazing. Thick and juicy patties with just the right amount of toppings, I was suitably impressed. I'll probably be stopping by in person to get a burger hot off the grill as I assume that would be incredible. The onion rings were also very good. Hot and just the right size. I'm looking forward to trying some of their other burger offerings, but the Phil-a-Buster was A-1! read more

I'm so glad my brother recommended us go here to eat since Southern Hospitality and Taj Palace buffets closed so early on Thursdays, his referral didn't disappoint. I ordered the Rosedale, Phil-a-buster, and Crestview. All came with fries with one sweet potato fry. The Rosedale and Phil-a-buster on a sourdough bun, which made it taste delightfully good; soft bread and a touch of sweetness. The Phil-a-buster ordered with no onions, pickles and mustard, but added an egg for Wayne was delicious according to his word. The Crestview with an jalapeño bun, all toppings for RedRunna was tasteful to her word. The Rosedale ordered with all toppings so good, melted in my mouth! We all ordered to go and was satisfied with our burgers. We don't have nothing negative to say about this place. For 3 orders, totaled to be $30 and thank goodness the burgers were cheap and not $13+ like most places do it. read more

A delicate mix of aromas wafts over you as you walk in: creamy ice cream, latrines (the bathrooms are kinda close to the tables), and burgers. While the visual appeal leaves much to be desired (there might've actually been a hole in the wall), the burgers are surprisingly bomb. Try the 3 slider sampler: get the burgers titled after zip codes, and ask for mixed fries (sweet potato and regular). Anyway, if you're looking for motivation to hit the gym, definitely stop by here because Amy's ice creams is right next door and you will eat 3 days worth of calories combining the burger, fries, and ice cream. The bloat is real y'all. Also I keep forgetting to take pictures of my food, but the burgers look better than most fast casual burgers, and punch above their weight class in terms of taste. read more

I take it all back! After a 2 year hiatus, I decided to give Phil another shot at lazy lunch on Memorial Day 2010 and this time, he proved deserving of my adoration. I love-love-love that I can order a single slider (aka "mini" in Phil's menu) with sweet potato fries. This is a reasonable portion that still gives you all of the juicy burger, sweet bun, drippy topping goodness of the full sized version at 1/3 (or fewer) calories. Yay! That 78704 mini basket was the best meal I've eaten in a while and I didn't feel like a beached whale afterward. Also very nice were the large shaded patio and shaded playscape, which meant our party of 2 adults and one energetic 3 year-old boy were very comfortable. We parents got to have our meal & suds in peace while the kids got to run wild with occasional stops at the table to gobble another bite of corndog and orange fries. We'll be back, Phil! Tip: Park around back for a quick entry through the playground and Amy's. Be strong as you bypass the ice cream counter and proceed through the door at the left into the Phil's part of the building. Oh, and beware of aggressive grackles who think nothing of swooping under your umbrella to swipe your entire burger. read more

Phil's Icehouse - Barton Hills mini basket - Burgers Near Me - Austin, Texas

Daughter's chicken strips are kids school cafeteria elongated chicken McNuggets. My son's corn dog was still cold in the middle. Out of wine for my wife. Dirty on the ground and tables outside. Kids working cashier don't give a f**k (but hey, they're teens). There were like 4 people in the kitchen. Literally too many cooks. It's sad as this used to be a great place. Maybe it's Covid? I don't know, but there are WAY better hamburgers in town, like Jewboys to name one. We went for the playscape, but it isn't worth it. Amy's next door though! But kind of more of the same. read more

Who else thought this place sold ice cream? IT'S BURGERS ! but not your ordinary regular burgers, these are your fancy, Hopdoddy's competition, type of burgers! They have so many choices and variety! Buns... Their buns are so fluffy, soft, kind of sweet, and just so good! Fries... can't decide on regular potatoes or sweet potatoes? why not choose BOTH! You have a choice to get your fries mixed with regular and sweet potatoes! They customer service is awesome! They are so quick with serving your order and even when its busy, they are very patient with you and very kind. I would definitely come here again! 10/10! read more

Phil's Icehouse - Burgers Near Me - Austin, Texas

(3.75) It's one of my favorite burger place! FOOD// I always get 78704 and mixed fries. I like the name creativity with its zip codes. The burger tastes very different depending which side is upward. If the avocado is on the bottom, you taste something fresh; however, if you eat where avocado is on the top, it's super greasy. I think that's one little thing that I don't like about this place is its greasiness. Especially their sides like fried onions, it's too much oil for me to handle. Anyways, I also LOVE LOVE the jalapeno bread as the buns, which gives such a great flavor. SERVICE// More of a mediocre experience every time. ATMOSPHERE// The order/pick-up area is separated from the dining area. There is also play area right outside for the kids. SURROUNDING// I like how Amy's is right next door for a dessert-grab! read more

I just brought a turkey burger and a grilled foot long hot dog with the chili. I was very disappointed with the food, both tasted disgusting and I threw the food in the trash. Its safe to say I won't be back to this restaurant. It's not it! read more

I should be ashamed of myself -- I work for Amy's but I've never had Phil's... until yesterday. It took me long enough. I think I had a better experience than most people because I was the same age as the guy behind the counter taking my order. I wasn't a mom with her kids, or a preteen who didn't get the weird humor that proliferates in this Amy's-Phil's world, I fit right in. So I chatted with the Phil's guy, who, to me, was friendly and funny, and I received my food and ate it happily. I got the chicken jack with mushrooms (no bacon) with sweet potato fries and regular fries. I thought the chicken breast was ENORMOUS.. like, seriously, how in the world did they fit this HALF A CHICKEN in between two halves of a sourdough bun? The bun was good texture, soft, fluffy, and also very large. The food was messy, but I'm okay with that. The fries were amazing. Actually, I think I ate only the sweet potato fries and left the regular ones. I know what regular potato fries taste like. I haven't had sweet potato fries done right in a long time. I liked the food and I liked the staff. There were a lot of kids but they were all sitting outside while I ate my lunch inside, so I wasn't bothered at all. All in all, an enjoyable experience. I just wish the prices weren't so high for a burger... though, admittedly, I did get a lot of food. Maybe I'll share next time. read more

incredible service! the burger is huge and they have a nice kids playground. Definitely coming back!

Phil's is my new favorite burger joint! Love the buns! Not only are they soft and slightly sweet buns, but they are perfectly toasted too! Gotta love toasted buns... The menu is a bit overwhelming, as they have a bajillion burgers to try. All of them have some form of cheese on them, but you can certainly order it without. I went with the Rosedale (blue cheese + grilled onion) with a turkey patty. I found it absolutely delicious. The turkey patty wasn't a noticeable swap, except it was a little less greasy than my friends' burgers. I got the mix of sweet potato and regular fries (thank you for making that an easy choice). Next time I'll just get sweet potato fries, they weren't as dry. Phil's is comparable to Hopdoddy, but a little less bougie and the fries come with the burger :) Phil's burgers are waay better than the Shake Shacks around Austin. Just thinking about it makes me want to go again... read more

My 12-year-old daughter and her friends came here to hang out after school actually at Amy's ice cream and the lady Phil's icehouse complained about them being on the playground even though they are 12 years old and that is what the sign says 12 years old and under. She said there was families that left because of groups of kids like this, but they are paying customers at Amy's ice cream. Even though they offered free water to anyone, they told my daughter and her friends that they were not allowed in the establishment. We probably will not be hanging out at either of these establishments from this point On. Great job Phil's icehouse. read more

I usually love this restaurant, but it has become overrun with middle schoolers who scream obscenities, fight with food, and run on the tables. My family, along with other families, hurriedly left today when it got dangerous. We will not return until this issue is resolved. read more

Stopped by here on my way home from Lake Travis. It was pretty creative burger joint compared to those in Houston. It also had an Amy's Ice cream in it which hit the spot on a hot muggy day in Austin. I had the Travis burger with Extra bacon and of course their mixed fries. A real neat hangout spot and I thought it was really sweet that they had a playground outside for the kids to play in. Would totes recommend as a travelers spot. read more

Phil's Icehouse - Burgers Near Me - Austin, Texas

Very disappointed in this place I have always loved the food and have never been kicked out prior to a place closing to stay they are going to clean and had just order food at 9:30. They literally pushed everyone out of the dinning area prior to closing. I brought new folks to try the place and that was a terrible experience. I used to work in the restaurant business and waited tables we did not kick people out prior to the closing time. We understood if folks showed up late and yes it sucks at times but we allow them time to finish there food. But we were literally told we had 10 minutes to eat our food and get out. The manager on duty with pink/red hair also claimed it was Amy's that kicked us out however Amy's closes at 11:30! read more

Always good burgers. We have come here for years, but hadn't been within the last year due to eating home more often. We dined outside and was completely disgusted by the condition of the outdoor tables. Forget Covid, the dried food, ketchup, ice cream, and who knows what else will likely take you out before Covid. How about introducing a weekly power wash to the patio? read more
