Stopped by The Stix Icehouse in McKinney for lunch and overall had a really good experience. The vibe is casual and lively with a big indoor/outdoor setup, plenty of space, and that classic Texas beer-garden feel. It’s the kind of place that’s great for groups, sports watching, or just hanging out. Décor and atmosphere lean casual and eclectic, there’s lots of interesting memorabilia and Texas history touches on the walls, TVs for sports fans, and plenty of room to relax. A few folks have mentioned it can get a bit loud and busy, especially later in the day, but that’s part of the lively feel for this kind of place. I sat at the bar and ordered a few drinks, all were delicious and well crafted. The bartender was extremely friendly, attentive, and helpful with recommendations, which really elevated the visit. The only downside for me was the shrimp tacos. I ended up taking them home and didn’t finish them, they just weren’t my favorite. I’ve heard food can be a little hit or miss, but the drinks and service definitely shine. Parking was a bit scarce during lunchtime, but I eventually found a spot. Overall, I’d absolutely go back for the drinks, atmosphere, and service!
Our first time here at The Stix Ice House, and we loved it! Allan ordered chicken fried chicken, but they accidentally sent him a chicken fried steak. Stephanie the Manager, offered to bring him a new plate, but Allan hates to waste food, so he kept the chicken fried steak. He LOVED IT! He said the steak was an excellent quality meat and he was glad he kept it. Stephanie told him she would give him a discount, but when we received the ticket, she had comp'd the platter for him. Wow! And his platter was HUGE! His steak was so massive, we decided when we return, we're going to split one steak. I ordered chicken tenders & fries, with a side of gravy. The chicken tenders were BIG & the BEST tenders I've ever been served! They were juicy and delicious! Even though our dishes were big, (And we could only eat half of our order), we bagged the other half, and ordered the Cookie dessert. Two cookies in one order; andxwe always love a warm chocolate chip cookie! It had a drizzle of both chocolate & caramel syrup; and a big scoop of vanilla ice-cream on it! Sadly, since I was so full, I could only eat a couple of bites, so Allan ate the rest. He loved it. We've decided we're going back on a Friday night, when they have live music. The Stix Ice House is a fantastic restaurant and more! They have a game room with 2 pinball machines and a pool table. There is a big outside patio with rows of rockers, overlooking beautiful acres of property. Oh, and another plus: it's dog friendly - a true family place! I don't know about you, but restrooms "seal the deal" for me. Here, both the ladies, AND men's restrooms are VERY clean. Everything about The Stix Ice House was excellent, and we certainly look forward to going back!
Been here for a few times since they opened. Always enjoyed the food and atmosphere, especially on a nice weather day when we would opt to sit at the dog-friendly outdoor space. Service had been great as usual. Only reason not giving five stars was the lack of parking. It’s not easy to find a spot, even on weekdays during non-peak hours.
Came here for dinner during the holidays. The place is beautifully decorated and they had live music playing. Grabbed some holiday inspired drinks. Got the frito pie and it did not disappoint. Looks to have a great big outdoor area so will definitely be returning with our pups!
The fried jalapenos and fried pickles were good. I got the patty melt and it was bland, daughter got salmon and she said it was good. The service was good, and they do military discount only for the one person. Very loud inside, so be prepared for that. And the seating is find your own.
