Really good burgers! The 78704 has a jalapeño cheese bun which makes it really unique and tasty. The sweet potato fries are also perfectly crispy. What's even better though is the friendly customer service and overall family friendly environment. The staff is friendly with each other, the customers, and generally very pleasant to interact with. There's also a playground outdoors which is great if you have kids. read more

We are grand child sitting for our son and daughter in law. With the grands at school, we wanted to find something good but close to their home. We picked Phil's Icehouse and are very happy we did. The burgers were huge and delicious! The service was excellent. We arrived just after noon on a Monday. There were a few other patrons inside and some outside enjoying the weather. We will be back! read more

So.., I do Favor as a side hustle to pay for an upcoming cruise for my beautiful, intelligent, God-fearing wife. I picked up an order from Phil's Icehouse. The burger had my Tahoe smelling absolutely delish! I had to try this place out. So, I go to Phil's and order the Phil-A-Buster and fries. Double meat, double cheese and all the fixins. The burger was juicy, well seasoned and has a very good flavor. The fries are mixed with regular fries and sweet potato fries. I really enjoyed that little mixture. I went to the Phil's Icehouse on Burnet Rd. The staff were very friendly and pleasant, the atmosphere was cool, laid back and friendly. If you have a hankering for a real good burger, pull up to Phil's Icehouse and enjoy. Tell 'em Donald the Mailman sent ya. I give Phil's Icehouse 5 out of 5 drinks! Cheers! read more

My wife did not know yet her wallet was missing when she received a call late from Austin at the Phil's Burgers on Burnet rd. He called to say he had her wallet and would be happy to bring it to our house ( 45 min away ) which we tried to discourage and that we would pick it up the next day. Austin came out anyway and when I offered him a reward he refused to accept it saying " It was the right thing to do " I was so impressed by this young man but also with his parents who I imagined instilled in Austin how to be a good human being and for Phils Ice House for hiring such a stand up guy. Thank you again Austin Tom & Deborah Kirk read more

The burgers were excellent!! We've visited this burger joint before and the ingredients are always fresh and tasty. The fries are excellent also, with just the right amount of flavoring. They offer fountain drinks, but with locally brewed flavors, not one of the big 2 options like most places. The prices are inline with the area as well. You may be able to catch a special but still expect to pay more than average fast food prices. There's plenty of seating and the staff was friendly. I would recommend this restaurant. read more

Good burgers! Service is great and quick! Ambiance is good, connected to an Amy's ice cream, if looking for dessert!

One of the best family friendly restaurants in town, Phil's has great burgers and sides, stapled on with an Amy's next door and a playground for the kids, this is the perfect weekend lunch hangout spot for families. Portions and prices are great too! I deviated from my usual order and got the 78750 instead of the 78704 and while it was a decent burger, missed the jalepeno kick. Generally I find the patties to be underseasoned at Phil's but the burger composition itself is great. Also tried to be "healthy" with the fried green beans and those were a hit with the table - far superior to fries, but comes with the upcharge. But worth it. All in all, will be here plenty with the family! read more

I don't miss much about Texas but Phil's, is one of the few things I long for. The slightly sweet bun they make fresh, the delicious burger, the sweet potato fries, I miss it . Best burgers in Austin. My fav location is next to iFly. Amy's is next door. It's the perfect spot. Whenever I visit it's one of my 3 places I have to grab food. read more

AMAZING I LOVE THIS PLACE! The workers are so nice and kind! And the food is the best food i have ever had!! The play ground is awesome! read more

I got the BLT but the meat was so hard that I took lots of it out to eat the food. The outside tables are a bit low but manageable. I have advice if you're going here, don't get the regular fries, get the mix or just the sweet potato fries. read more

When I first moved to Texas, I had no idea my adventures in apartment hunting would bring me here, but I'm so glad it did! After what seemed like an eternity of a day, I was parched and quite ravenous. Came into this place not knowing what to expect, saw the menu, and ordered the 78750 Burger with some fries. The burger was well constructed, bursting with flavor, and the house made sourdough bun has to be my favorite from any and all burger joints. The fries are actual fries, they look, feel, and taste it, which you don't get to see very often! The team was attentive, generous, and kind! I now live further away, so I end up using delivery for this (way more than I'd like to admit), and still, it has not deterred the food from tasting as great as when I dined, in-house. Incredible food, an awesome team, and ice cream round the bend. What's not to love? read more

You are paying for your kids to play on the playground because the food is rather rough. Would not buy again. Then the register asks for a pretty steep tip... even though I order at the counter, pick up my own food at the counter, make my own drink and clean my table. I don't mind the typical 15% but it was asking way more than that. Unless you are there to drink while the kids play, i'de pass. read more

This review if only for Uber delivery service (have not had the pleasure of going into the restaurant as of yet)! My husband and I have had a LOT of burgers in our lifetime, and in many states..but this place is "HANDS DOWN..BEST BURGER WE HAVE EVERY HAD"! OMG...sooo damm good! We tried it on a whim, when it came up on our Uber app. We are glad they deliver to Leander! THANK YOU! When we get down to Austin, we WILL stop in! I don't have pictures, as we devoured them sooo fast! The fries, as you know, usually, when delivered, get soggy...not these! They stayed nice and fresh! Unfortunately, the sweet potato ones, did (a little). But, my husband and I have ordered twice from from them, and they were "finger licking good" (* I know...phrase for another place...lol)! First time, he got the "chili" burger, called the " Crestview, and wanted the was with egg and bacon, called the "Jollyville". Second time, he got the fried onion one, called the "78750" and I got the bacon one called "Brentwood". GREAT flavor on ALL of them. Bun was still intacked (again, not soggy from delivery)! You can tell the meat is FRESH and NOT frozen! Hope to drive down and be there in person soon! :) read more

I think they have the best burgers! The turkey burger was my favorite, but unfortunately, they took it away. I still love the chicken burger too. read more

Great food and good for the kids I come here because I live across the street and each time the kids have had a blast

Man I never make the trip into Austin but we met up with some friends that were passing the area and they said to check this place out. 100% best burger I've had in quite some time, the bread they use for the buns is super tasty. I got a burger (can't reminder the name, it was a zip code like 78604 or something) that had jalepenos, house sauce and pepper jack cheese, it kinda fell apart but honestly that's a great sign for a burger like this. Service was friendly and efficient. Playground was perfect for the kids to play. I honestly hate going into Austin these days but I'd go back just to try another burger here read more

I ate Phil's Icehouse a lot as a teen. My mom loved that they're usually right next door to an Amy's Ice Cream. I remembered it being fire and now I live right around the corner from one, so I decided to take a trip down memory lane. The food is not bad, it's a good burger. The sweet bun is yummy. The bacon was perfect. Patty tasted kinda under seasoned, but I'm also a big salt&pepper-lover-gal. Okay fries. For some reason it just didn't hit the way I expected it to, especially because that's a pretty good looking burger IMO lol. I think I might just prefer a good ole salty, greasy cheeseburger - this one's definitely not my favorite in Austin. read more

We went here for a play date! As a parent of a small child living up NW, this place is a great option for the whole family. The playground is nice, and the burgers and fries are pretty decent. I love that you can order mini versions of their burgers. We shared the 3 mini option with a side of mixed fries (regular and sweet potato) which was really nice. My only complaint is the noise. We showed up at opening time (11am) on Saturday, and it got very busy and loud quickly. Tip: We went next door into Amy's ice cream to borrow some crayons and paper, where it was blissfully quiet and calm. read more

What a dump! Sticky floors, no AC, and dated depressing interior. Felt bad for the employees. Went for the outside playhouse in for my toddler. Outside was okay. Too many used cups and straws all over the ground but the playhouse itself was cool and had enough seating. Most of it is gated except one side so felt safe to let the kiddo run around while we eat. The adult chicken tenders rank as one of the worst I have ever had. After a few minutes, the meat dried up and was hard and pretty much inedible. The mixed fried (regular fries and sweet potato fries) were pretty good. The fish sandwich is on par with McDonald's fish fillet sandwich except more expensive. Service was good and helpful. If there's a next time, I'll opt for the burgers as that's their main thing. read more

I LOVE Phils! They have a wide variety of burgers to choose from, and if you didn't notice, the burgers are named after different areas and zip codes in Austin. You can get a regular-sized burger or the minis, which I prefer because you can try the different burger choices. The burgers are grilled to perfection, super juicy with the freshest ingredients and the yummiest and softest buns. Don't skip out on the sides; they are all great options. Onion rings, yes! Yes! Fried green beans, double yes! You can also opt to mix your fries, so it's always a win at Phil's. They are usually always busy, but the service is friendly and fast. Do yourself a favor; don't skip out on Phils. If you are dining out, you can order ahead of time online. At every Phil's Icehouse, you also get the benefit of a playground and Amys ice cream connected to the restaurant. Perfect spot for the kiddos to run around. read more

Cute family friendly place. When I saw icehouse I had something else in mind. There were a ton of kids playing outside and eating dinner inside. Please keep that in mind. Food: my burger was so tasty! Beer they have beer! read more

Phil's Icehouse - Burgers and Beer, why not. - Burgers Near Me - Austin, Texas

My favorite local burgers and BLTs! Their sourdough buns (plain or jalapeño cheese) just make all their burgers amazing. I've been going here regularly for years. It is consistently fresh and always well made (never short on ingredients). Happy hour is a definite plus - really enjoy a cold draft beer with their awesome burgers! read more

In looking for a casual restaurant to dine at in northwest Austin I selected Phil's Icehouse. I have eaten at Phil's at two other locations and really enjoy their food. It's tightly located off of US 183 next to iFLY and Amy's Ice Cream. There is a playground outside which seem to attract the families here to eat. I ordered the Hot and Crunchy Fish Sandwich. It arrived in a basket along with French fries. The fish sandwich was what I expected but a little better. The square fish patty had a crispy breading with soft fish inside. The whole sandwich was very favorable to my taste buds. This family friendly restaurant is a great place and though probably want to skydive before filling up with burgers and fish sandwiches. read more

Went here for the first time with some friends and was pleasantly surprised! I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich with fries. The chicken was cooked well and not too big for the bun and the fries were great! It's hard to get a good French fry these days, but I was very happy with these! The staff were friendly and helpful and the dining experience was very clean and comfortable. They had a playground for kids, which was really fun and being next to an Amy's was definitely a bonus! read more

This restaurant doesn't look like much, but we liked it! The food hits the spot, they have a wonderful play structure for the kiddo to burn off energy, and they're next door to Amy's for an incredible and convenient dessert! Win. Hubby got the 78704 burger - super flavorful and delicious! I got the highland hills chicken sandwich which I would recommend for anyone who enjoys a good Buffalo chicken sandwich. They have the option of substituting a chicken, Turkey or veggie patty on any of their burgers as well. Recommend Phil's Icehouse for a casual evening out with the family! read more

Really great burgers! Service was friendly as well. Gotta try a shake next time I'm in! :)

First and LAST time our family will ever come back here!! The workers barely acknowledge us, didn't smile and truly did not provide any "service" except to hand us our cups to get our own water. But she sure was quick to flip that iPad around to request her "service tip" before ringing up 6 full meals! Do we tip for just taking our money now? Anyway...it was my daughter's birthday and I complied. We order standing up, get our own drinks, straws, plasticware, ketchup and napkins. Also, go back up to get our food on trays, take them to our own table as well as clean up after ourselves. Putting our trays and baskets away. What service was performed besides preparing our food? Then the food...really bad. Thin, chewy, flavorless hamburgers and extremely burnt onion rings. Truly, burned beyond being just crispy. I will never be back. Over priced ($12-15 burgers), over cooked, unfriendly, zero service establishment. Poor representation of an "Austin" restaurant. read more

Best place to get a turkey burger in North Austin that I've found. Their sourdough bun is sweet, and good. Even the Wheat one is good. I also like how you can get mixed fries (sweet potato and regular potato fries). Lately, I eat here more often than any other place. read more

My first meal after landing in Austin for a week long vacation was to this Phil's location. Our friends who picked us up from the airport loves Phil's and all his burgers (and other food, too), so I went along for the ride. We showed up around 1:30 PM on a Thursday afternoon. The lunch rush had ended, so the dining room was wide open with no kids in the play area (it was also 100 degrees outside, so no surprise there). We ordered our food, got our drinks from the fountain and sat down at one of the long benches. Our onion rings (to share) were ready first; the server asked us if we wanted them right away or with our burgers. We took them right away, served fresh and hot! The breading was lighter than I was used to seeing in onion rings and had a good flavor and texture. The burgers came out next. I ordered the Brentwood (a bacon cheeseburger topped with lettuce, tomato, sliced onions, pickles, mayo, mustard, 2 slices of bacon, and cheddar cheese on a toasted sourdough bun) along with an order of mixed fries (regular and sweet potato). The burger was cooked medium well, the produce tasted fresh (with the lettuce being very crisp), and the bun was soft, but dense enough to hold up to the juicy burger. The fries were cooked and seasoned well. And the soda fountain had all a good selection of beverages. Overall, we had a wonderful meal, and the meal was a great value (especially since regular or mixed fries comes with the burgers). If I lived in the area, this would be my go to burger joint! read more

I absolutely love Phils. I have never been able to find another place in austin that pairs their burgers with a delicious sourdough bun. I picked up an order during the shelter in place. I placed my order online and pulled into a dedicated spot, called the number and they delivered it right to my car. Nothing better than enjoying a delicious burger on your own couch . read more

Phil's Ice House has been around for many years because of the great burgers. I hadn't been for a good bit but was glad I had another burger there. It got 4 stars because the restaurant got really smoky inside. I don't think they burned any of the burgers just that it has poor ventilation. My mushroom burger was good. I'll just get it to go next time. read more

Good food, most of the time the employees are wonderful, and the playground is always a hit with my son!

I tried the jollyville burger & 78704. Preferred the 78704 because it had more flavor w/ the jalapeños & chipotle mayo. Also I liked the bun. The patty to me just didn't seem that flavorful though. Jollyville Burger $9.29- Bacon, egg, cheddar cheese, and a burger served between two slices of sourdough french toast. Huge, but I expected more flavor from the patty. Tried some of the syrup it came with but figured it had enough calories. Fuddrucker's is still my #1 burger place. "78704" Burger $8.49- The south of the river burger is topped with Monterey Jack cheese, jalapeños, grilled onions, sliced avocado, and chipotle mayo on a toasted jalapeño cheese bun. Preferred this over the jollyville. It had more flavor with the Chipotle mayo & jalapeños. It was only a little spicy. I liked the bun! Highland Hills Chicken Sandwich $9.49- Fried chicken breast tossed in Frank's Hot Sauce then topped with bleu cheese, lettuce and tomato on a toasted sourdough bun. Mom got this, the chicken was huge and thick. She thought it was spicy, but I didn't try it. Tried the onion rings, fried green beans, & the mix of fries /sweet potato fries. Onion rings could've used a little more salt. I preferred the sweet potato fries but the regular fries were fine. They were all crispy. read more

I'll be the first to admit I'm not a huge burger person and I'll also say this is the worst burger I've ever gotten at a restaurant. I got the Rosedale with a turkey burger and despite having all these different elements it still managed to be dry and bland. Even though I could taste the barbecue sauce, pickles, onions and meat it all failed to become more than the sum of its parts the way a good burger should. Even the fries were as bad as fries can ever be. I wondered how I could get this whole meal for less than $10 and after having eaten it I now understand. I did finish the whole thing so it's perfectly edible but I'd recommend going somewhere with a better burger. read more

Phil's Icehouse - The Rosedale Burger - Burgers Near Me - Austin, Texas

Stopped by here with some family while in Austin for a few hours. We had all the nieces with us so the playground was a huge benefit. Any place that has a playground and serves beer is gonna get 3-stars automatically, don't care if they're serving microwaved pizza bites. But the burgers were good! We got a couple of the zip code burgers and the toppings were solid. My wife appreciated the gluten free bun as well. My highlight was the fried green beans. It's tied to an ice cream shop as well so another big win if you have kids. read more

Love this place with my grandkids. I sit and eat the best sweet potato fries drink a beer and watch them play. Then there is ice cream

Came here for the first time the other day with some friends who picked the place for dinner. I was highly impressed. It was not what I thought it was going to be but I was pleasantly surprised. There is a huge array of options for just about everyone. Of course it has an Austin twist on everything, but if you are from around here the names of the burgers are quite great. There were so many good options I wasn't sure which one to choose. I ended up with the Jollyville Burger and it was delicious! Ate the whole thing. I got sweet potato fries, but I should have gotten half and half if I realized that was an option. I will definitely be coming back here! The food was great and I really enjoyed the atmosphere, and best part is it is connected to Amy's Ice Cream! There is plenty of parking to the side of the building and there is even a kids play area for kids to work off their energy. read more
