I'm not sure if they still host their Halloween party but back in the day it was legendary and packed!

In A Nutshell:…read more -Angel's Icehouse is a such a cool vibe. -As an out-of-towner, I was loving the rich Texas atmosphere here. -I like how big the place is w/ lot's of parking. -There are plenty of places to sit, but always expect a good size crowd. -I went on a Friday & a Saturday, I would recommend going on a Friday since most people stayed late vs. Saturday where people left a bit earlier & the place felt empty. -There is live music, delicious food (order deep fried pickles & jalapenos!) & cold draft beer in pitchers for a fair price. -The service is top notch, just ask the lovely hostesses for a table & they will check & walk you over to it. Overall, if I lived in the area, I would go to this place often.

Although Texas heat in July can be brutal for outdoor seating, we found a spot in patio in shade. Best of both outdoors yet could feel some AC from inside No music but can definitely see how this place could pop with good music. Angels is out for this area or you keep on going towards the Galleria. Gravel parking with an over flow section. Friendly staff who enjoy their jobs. Cold drinks and good food. What more can you ask for on a beautiful sunny day?! We all ordered the burgers with frings. Great burger (thick bun) hand pressed part of generous portion and a ton of fries and onion rings. So much that I stuffed them in a container and took the combined left overs hometo reheat in the air fryer. After seeing photos of other options I'm definitely going back when in the area.

Lady Gaga. All the stuff that gets you in a good mood. It was blazing hot and humid, but the breeze was fantastic. I got the watermelon colada. Didn't have a strong watermelon taste. But the coconut part of the drink was refreshing. I thought it was a great drink overall. I also got the chicken quesadilla. I wish I took a picture of it. But I was starved. It was cut up in triangles with sour cream and salsa in small containers. Was delicious. And would totally get it again. Great food. Great drink, fantastic band. Wish we had a waitress though.

Honestly, some of the worst I've ever received at any establishment. Common to sit at a table for thirty minutes+ before anyone even greets you, or wow...serve you. Be prepared to sit and watch the waitresses hangout with other tables and chit chat away. Catch their eye and wave them over, perhaps? Sure, but you're still going to have to wait until they're ready. The outdoor tabletops are always filthy. Yay for me for being so tolerant and prepared based on previous visits, I always make sure to carry wet wipes. Once again, when finished, the cloth was covered with brown dirt and food remains. The food is right on par with public high school cafeteria fare. No. Actually, maybe middle school quality. Funky tasting burgers. Meh. Anything and everything fried tastes exactly the same. I don't think they've changed the oil in since they opened many years ago. No joke. I can't help to feel a little bit sad as this is probably the most scathing review I've ever written.

The authentic but repurposed train station opened in 1972. In fact, a vintage railcar serves as an elevated viewing area of the dance floor, and you may want to check out the women's caboose. Literally, the depot has a caboose for a restroom! Going on a Friday night, we paid the $10 cover and it was a little crowded, but there were a few seats at the picnic tables in the wrap-around patio and I managed to step on only a few feet on the small dance floor, dancing to Donn and his Station Masters playing honky-tonk soul, western swing, and rock and roll covers. If you want a fun night, choo-choo-choose Donn's Depot. :

The new manager has hired an awesome new team and everyone seems truly happy to be working here. The bar side is floor to ceiling windows overlooking the lake with 2 flat screen TVs. The Grill side also has great views of the lake as well as a patio overlooking the awesome 3 level pool below. The two 1 star complainers are "Lame!!!!" The Bar and Grill serve the same food and the current menu is a mix of healthy salads and "Weekly Fish Special Prepared With a Heart Healthy Diet in Mind" so to the person complaining that they do not have "chicken fingers on the menu!" go to xyz... and Mr. complainer about "High prices" it's a Hotel Restaurant! and the prices are not anymore expensive than a mediocre hotel restaurant without the awesome views... I have had the Chicken Quesadillas served with Pico and Guac topped with an Adobo sauce ($7) a fresh salad topped with grilled shrimp and nicely seasoned croutons, and a trout topped with smoked almonds and lemon rosemary butter. All past lunch visits have been tasty with great service. Most recently I had a late breakfast here and it was just about as good as it gets! I sat on the patio enjoying the nice weather while digging into my healthy breakfast of Egg White Omelet with spinach, mushroom and pepper jack cheese served with a side of nicely seasoned breakfast potatoes. The breakfast menu is not on-line but it features all the usual egg dishes Migas etc.. The Omelets are 9.00 with 2 options 50 cents extra for each additional and come with breakfast potatoes, grits, muffin or toast. Egg dishes can be prepared with egg whites or egg beaters for the health conscious dinner!

I offered tortilla soup and a turkey club. Both were decent. My husband ordered a fried green tomato BLT. That also was decent. We shared an appetizer of crab cakes and those were good. You could tell they had probably been frozen before, but not bad. A few days later, we decided to try their breakfast. Now this is where they earned their fourth star. I had a pecan waffle with fresh fruit and it was yummy! I also had eggs and some bacon. They were good. But again, I would think it's really hard to screw up eggs and bacon. That waffle though....love! My husband ordered the migas. Now, being that we are from San Antonio, TX we are used to some of the BEST Mexican breakfast food around. So if course we're a little biased. But they were decent.
