    From the outside in, looks amazing. Second time but at another location almost before Hurricane Harvey on Cypresswood and Hwy-249. And I ordered crawfish during crawfish season only then, so it was spicy and seasoned. Today food was bland. Fried mushroom was not seasoned, seasoned rice wasn't seasoned at all, and patty melt patty was not flavorful at all. Seems foods on the menu needs sauces, and extra spices to taste good here. The only thing not needing sauces or extra seasoning was the blackened catfish and the fried jalapeños we ordered. Oreo milkshake was a good sweet but too thick, needed to stir enough to slurp with straw. Food here is medium priced, but I'm into my tastebuds if I'm gonna pay for medium priced food. Had to remove the patty melt off order cause burger patty had no taste. Who knows, maybe the cooks here or the food is served like that at all locations? Not sure if I will give here another try soon. Literally, fries were seasoned in some areas but not all, and mushrooms tasted battered not seasoned. Had better mushrooms at other places. Felt like there's no heart in this kitchen here tonight!

    Food was ok my boyfriend and I spent 50$ in here just our meals and an appetizer no drinks for the food quality I don't think it's worth don't think I'll be back but everything else was ok

    An antique car held bottled drinks as you enter! Cute decor.

    We were craving catfish and salad! So we landed here late Saturday night. Literally 40 minutes prior to closing. Order at the counter and pay afterwards. Honor system. Our cashier was new and being trained (by the shift manager we assumed). But the cashier did not skip a beat while taking our order. He asked us numerous times if we had any questions pertaining to our order while we did not. We both ordered the small fried catfish basket. Good value at $10 each came with 4 catfish strips and coleslaw. I opted for the Cesar salad as my side which was super sized! Large enough to share to which I did so! Karen requested the street corn. Karen said the street corn was fantastic. I looked across and noticed a couple eating fried onion rings ($2.49). And yes I placed an order with our server Leisa. Leisa was Totally amazing, by the way. The onion rings were served with creamy homemade ranch dressing. So So good! I would return for both catfish and onion rings! Added a dash of chalula hot sauce to the ranch and ketchup kicked up style. The entire check was $27.00 great value. Amazing service too! Leisa made us 2 take out lemonades. Requested No ice since the outside temperatures were less than cozy! I must mention that Karen and I were leisurely eating and talking. But as I said earlier the place was about to close. But not once did we feel rushed. We had to ask for our check. So much appreciated management!!! But we did not want to stay longer than necessary. Thank you for a great dinner!

    Two piece fried catfish with shrimp

    (From September 2021) I noticed this chain of icehouses are scattered around parts of Harris/Montgomery county. This caught my eye as I drive past this place whenever heading to Spring. Decided to order to go from here for football Sunday and see what it's about. Sadly they don't have bone-in traditional wings available for order. Why!? I think this is the first ice house that didn't serve wings from what I can tell. Decided on the fried catfish and shrimp meal and an order of Buffalo nuggets (or boneless wings as the menu says). The meal came with two sides (max and cheese and side of veggies). The good: catfish and shrimp meal was a good portion; catfish was crispy. Also loved the veggies. The nuggets were tender. The bad: the shrimp was a bit chewy. Mac and cheese had almost no flavor and was dry. Probably would've been better off with another side. I may try their other items when I'm back in the area. And hopefully they'll have traditional wings for order as every icehouse should!

    "Blackened " chicken was extremely dry, tough and almost hard as a rock.  Couldn't even eat it.

    Ordered Willie's for delivery and was extremely disappointed. The "blackened" chicken was so dry and tough...almost hard... it was not consumable. The macaroni has absolutely no flavor at all and the queso had bits of something black burnt pieces in it...not sure exactly but kind of like when something gets burnt in a pan and sticks to the sides. The other items were ok (loaded baked potato, ribs and street corn) but those other items were beyond bad.

    Smoked Gouda Cheesesteak
    Susan P.

    An alright place for a burger and fries, this is a step above fast food with the added ability to get alcohol. The bacon burger was big and a good match for the teenager in our party. The grilled chicken was adequate and the accompanying grilled veggies benefited from a good spice mix but lacked a good char. The Gouda cheesesteak is mislabeled as no self respecting true Philly needs bell peppers and some sort of chipotle sauce. The Gouda cheese advertised was lacking. The pick two combo of fried pickles and onion petals along with the tater tots were crunchy goodness.

    Crawfish Platter $49.99- very small, terrible flavor, not spicy at all & didn't come with what was listed.

There was live music playing outside, but we chose to sit indoors that day. The hostess opened the front door right away to show us inside. My wife ordered the blackened flounder with two sides, southern green beans and the sweet potato cakes, because the server recommended it. I also went with the server's suggestions and ordered the Wagyu chicken fried steak with bacon jalapeno mac-n-cheese and jalapeno cream corn. It might not have been the healthiest choice, but I wanted to enjoy the evening. lol My wife really liked the blackened flounder. The green beans were a bit more overcooked than she liked, though. The chicken fried steak was outstanding and very tender. I liked that the delicious gravy came on the side so the steak stayed crispy. The sides were also outstanding. The GM (Glen, sp?) came to say hello because it was our first time there. I told him everything was wonderful and that we would come back. When we left, the hostess opened the door for us again without missing a beat. Great food, great service, and a lively atmosphere.

We were told by the friendly hostess that the wait for a table would be about 30-40 minutes. So I sat and waited for the rest of my party to arrive. The wait only ended up being 15 minutes (good thing I didn't leave) My table was close to the front entrance and a huge party (that should have just reserved a private room if you ask me) I felt like I was a wedding crasher. The waiters were busy trying to accommodate everyone by moving tables around and I had strangers standing all around me waiting for their table to be set. So that wasn't enjoyable for me. I ordered an appetizer some wine and our entrees all came out delicious and our waiter was sweet but I won't be rushing back on a busy Saturday night!

Actually, they have a good size menu and have some American options along with juices and smoothies so It made ordering easy. They also have a full bar with several cocktails and mocktails. Inside right when you enter is the actual bar with about 6 seats which were full with customers during my entire visit. Their happy hour ends at 6pm, but I arrived at 7pm so I ended up missing the discounted drinks. I ordered the cod and shrimp pita which ended up being slightly different than the regular gyro. I had to set it down after a couple of bites since the wheat pita bread is much thinner than regular pita bread and it kept falling apart on me. I also added a mango mojito. With a name like Island Grill, I sort of expected to see more tropical drinks or rum-based cocktails show up on the menu, but this was about the only one. Overall, my experience was okay, but I don't know if it was good enough for me to return.
