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

I was excited because my colleagues said they had GF buns; which meant I wouldn't be eating a chicken cutlet wrapped in lettuce. I ordered the Balcones Chicken Jack minus the cheese and on a GF bun. I have Celiac's Disease not an allergy, so it is imperative I do not have wheat in my system. I knew that the fries would be fried in the same oil as items with wheat breading but I'm not that sensitive and would be OK. I was so excited when the sandwich arrived. I had some vegan cheese to top it off with, so I heated it up some so it melted and dug in! It was delicious! I was so happy to find a good resto that carried GF options. Segue to 24 hours later. I am having a wheat reaction. The rash associated with Celiac's has broken out on my arms for the first time 5 years and to be sensitive to all reading this, everything I eat is going through me. It takes about 4-6 weeks for the villi in my intestines to recover from the wheat. I don't know how long it will take for the rash to go away. It's similar to chicken pox in looks and how badly it itches. Please train your staff to understand and take Celiac's Disease and all food allergies seriously. They should all ahve their food handlers certificates and know better. I've worked in food service and this would have NEVER happened in any of our establishments. read more

I love Phil and his Ice House. The burgers are really freaking good. I always get the Brentwood and it never disappoints. I'm not sure what else anyone expects from this place. It delivers on a quality burger at a reasonable price and if you have kids, it's got a great outdoor area for them to play. 4 beers on tap and some can beer options as well. Amy's ice cream is in the same building but that's a different review. Overall I have never had a bad experience and even if I did I'm sure they would make it right and since I've had so many great experiences, I would give them grace. Glad they are still cooking up wonderful burgers in a laid back atmosphere. read more

Phil's is great for a quick burger. The sweet potato fries are our favorite. Amy's ice cream is in the same store, so that's a nice treat as well. There is a great playground here to keep kids entertained. read more

Phil's Icehouse - Little man enjoying his Swiss cheese burger. - Burgers Near Me - Austin, Texas

Burgers are just ok. I've definitely had better. Service was also pretty slow when I was there. If you do feel like having dessert after, then at least you have Amy's ice cream right there, which is pretty freaking good! You cannot skip the ice cream. read more

Well it will have to be another visit before you get pictures. A sister was a little hungry so I dove right in and forgot to do a review. But let me tell you if I'm going to make sure to get some great shots of my food before I eat it all up. All the burgers are yummy and the fries. I'm read more

The burger I had was delicious. I don't recall the name, but it had grilled onions,jalapeños,pepper jack cheese and chipotle mayo. Delicious. Go read more

Sadly the food here is quite terrible and every once of the place both inside and out is caked in dirt and old ice/condiments. It's really a shame because this is a perfect one-stop shop. This review is not for Amy's ice cream because that's always stellar. Hat Creek is a better option. Clean, good food, and a friendly staff that don't treat you like an inconvenience. read more

Had a burger brought to me. We only live 10 minutes away. By the time the burger got to me, the bottom bun was so soggy it was falling apart, mushy and overall inedible. Fries were good. read more

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

Deeelicious! Got the one that has three sliders to taste a variety. The 78704 was my favorite. Doesn't hurt that there is an Amy's in here too :P read more

I love this place! The fries and sweet potato fries are great and I love that you can get a combo! The onion rings need more crunch but are okay. I love the grilled hot dog and the 78704 burger is heaven! I showed this place to my burger loving boyfriend and all he could say was that we were ordering it again! It's also pretty cheap! read more

Best burger I've had since moving to Austin 2 years ago. Top notched I had this through Uber eats too it was the best!

I met some friends over here and I wasn't expecting much. I ordered the bacon burger and WOW it was good. Meat was juicy, all the toppings were delicious. Recommend if you're meeting your friends or family here. read more

Pretty decent burgers and fries. I wish they had more options though. Fountain drink machine is often out of something which is frustrating. Booths are awkward to sit in because they're so low compared to the tables. Bonus that Amy's Ice Cream is there. read more

Yum! Came to Phil's since we couldn't get parking at The Picnic, but boy, lucky us! The chicken sandwich was excellent, fish sandwich crispy goodness, and veggie burger oh so good. Best part was the bun, which was super yummy and usually not worth the gluten. These buns were soooo worth it! Yep, my kinda joint. Add in beer and ice cream? Ima live here now. Yep. Nice people and comfy seating too. Thanks Phil's! You rocked tonight! read more

Really great spot for burgers and sandwiches! A couple friends took us here for dinner, and we were very happy with our meals! My husband ordered the regular cheese burger without onion and very much enjoyed it. His favorite parts was the bun they used, a sourdough bun. I ordered a grilled cheese, and added bacon (so good) and the grilled cheese comes on sourdough bread as well. It is seriously so good, and adds so much to the sandwich. It added that perfect sourdough taste, but also a little sweet, and also buttery. It was perfect, and I want a loaf of the bread immediately. The mixed fries were delicious! Regular potato fries were crispy and salty, and the sweet potato fries were so flavorful! I'm not typically a fan of sweet potato fries, cause seriously, how do you heat regular potato fries?! But these were awesome and I would absolutely order them again! If you like onion rings DO NOT get them here. They are pretty week. The batter is seriously under seasoned, so bland, and they weren't crispy at all. Very disappointing. The shop has an Amy's ice cream inside, so after dinner you can grab a scoop if you need something sweet! I got sweet cream and peach, and they were both so tasty, and paired so well together! They have a lot of indoor and outdoor seating, and the restrooms are located outside on the patio. I highly recommend eating here, great burgers/sandwiches & fries! read more

The people at Phil's Ice House were kind enough to send me a gift card after I had a less than stellar experience at a different location and I wish I could say the free price tag made it taste better but it just didn't. First off, I could visually see some flakes of salt on the sweet potato fries but I couldn't taste any at all which is unfortunate and left me not overly happy with the fries. Next I ordered the 78756 burger which comes with a jalapeño cheese bun which I hoped would add a bit of spice to the burger which it did not. The bun was also strangely too big for the Patty (which was turkey not beef) so at the end I had a few bites left of just bun and this was without a doubt the most wet burger I've ever had. The Compote was literally dripping off it and the flavor I noticed the most was the mayo. Like I said in the previous review I'm not a big burger person but I'm sad to report I've definitely had better. I'll come back to try something that's not a burger in the hopes that that's better (and because there's still money on this gift card). I still don't recommend coming here but there were a number of people in the restaurant so it could just be me. read more

Burger joint and an ice cream joint combined, with a play ground for the kiddos....Winning! Amys ice cream is my favorite ice cream in ATX, so that alone is a huge plus, but attach it to an awesome burger joint and you can't go wrong. The burgers at Phils are named after neighborhoods or zip codes in Austin. I ordered the 78750 burger which is now my new favorite burger. My wife got the Allendale which is a solid burger as well. My wife loves that they have an option for regular fries, sweet potato fries, or a mix fried that come with the burger. To be honest I'm not a fan of sweet potato fries but these weren't bad, probably some of the better ones I've tried. The burgers were hot fresh and delicious. The buns for the burgers were so soft seemed like they were made that day no mass produced buns like you get at the grocery store. The also have a few beers on tap and several can options to choose from as well. One knock on the place was that it was hot inside the building, but to be fair there are a lot of kids going in and out from the playground. Good spot to eat, have a beer, let the kids play, and last but not least grab an ice cream. read more

This place knows how to make a fantastic burger!! Very much worthy of my gas all the way to Austin . Meat cooked to perfection and fries are on point . Can wait to try other items on their menu. Kids portions are perfect. Must try if you want delicious food! read more

Good toppings options along with the ability to customize. Shared building with an ice cream parlor, beer on tap or bottled, play structure. Great place to bring the kids and relax for a bit while they play. The beef patty itself was just okay. Felt like fast food. read more

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

Ordered delivery a bacon cheeseburger with extra bacon. Paid for the extra and upon the unveiling one strip off bacon was on. To make matters worse they were closed by the time delivery reached me. I didn't give them the opportunity to fix though, I could have called next morning to report. This was the only thing that was wrong, I was certainly satisfied because the burger was still devoured. It was good, darn good. I'm sure lack of bacon was an oversight and they were closing. Trying again very soon, the one strip of bacon left me craving for more. Loved it! read more

Phil's Icehouse - Ordered bacon cheeseburger with extra bacon... - Burgers Near Me - Austin, Texas

Its a local burger joint offering burgers and some chicken on a bun options. The service at this location is fast casual, similar to panera. You order your food, pay and then they call your name when its done cooking. Since it was my first visit, I got the three burger sampler. I ordered Three sliders, all from the "area code selection" and sweet potato french fries. The burgers came out around 10 minutes after ordering. Giving me enough time to find a table, fill my soda and get my utensils. The food was a 4/5 experience. It was tasty, but the french fries weren't fresh. Acceptable, but not crispy. The burgers came well done, but still juicy. The buns were not soggy as I saw some reviewers have written in the past. So over all im gonna give it a 5/5, cause the lack of crunch on my french fries isnt bad enough to qualify for not giving the a five star review. So ya, I recommend it. read more

Pretty good burger although I'm not a huge fan of what I think is a potato bun (that's the doughier heavier sweetish bun - some folks really like this). I wasn't crazy about the pre-fab burgers they had so I made my own and it came out great. Fries were good as were the onion rings. Danger zone is that Amy's Ice Cream is located in the same space. You could pretty much blow a few thousand calories in one sitting here. Good news for parents - this place is kid friendly. Woohoo. read more

Our first stop here while roaming Austin and we enjoyed the food. We got The Violet Crown with the mix fries and the 78704 Burger. Both burgers were delicious and BIG! We also got a patty for our dog and she approved! The outside seating was calm and dog friendly. Five stars because the staff was friendly! read more

The bread, the meats, the fixins are always fresh & delicious, I don't know that I've had onion rings this good before.. anywhere & the prices are Thank you Phil for keeping prices affordable with a quality product and service! #oldaustin read more

A friend found out about this place a while back and we had to try. Been here 3 times already and I still can't get enough of the 78704 burger!! I'm a burger person and I KNOW when burgers are good or not. This place is up there with some of my favorite burger joints. I haven't tried anything else yet but the burger is really good and unique. The bread is so soft and the flavors just mix really well. You get a full meal under 10$ (without a drink)!!! Food comes out pretty quickly. read more

Been meaning to try this place, so I did. We really wish we hadn't. Strange (not weird - annoyingly strange) and completely unintelligible dude with stringy hair on the register, had to be asked repeatedly what he was saying. The place was cluttered and dirty with cold uncomfortable chairs. The buffalo chicken sandwich was soggy, hamburgers were all dry and we got a wine pour so ridiculously small I had to ask if it was a mistake. It wasn't, I was bluntly told. Avoid this place. There are much better options on South Lamar. Go there instead. read more

Things totally turned around for me at Phil's. I returned recently and all the complaints I had earlier were completely unfounded this time. I had issues with the patties being too dry before but this one was spot on. It was moist and flavorful. The bun is perfection. I ordered a build-your-own burger that featured cheddar cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato and mayo. Everything was fresh and tasty. The fries were excellent too and the portions were extremely generous. Phil's is a top spot again for me ! read more

Phil's is freaking amazing. Quality of food and service is too notch and I'll keep coming back to them for Al these reasons

We usually love the burgers at Phil's but today we were incredibly disappointed and we will never be back. First, we waited for an entire hour for our order (they were not even busy) only for them to give our order away to someone else. When the other people returned their order, (I saw with my own eyes them going through their burger with their hands when they realized it was wrong), they grabbed it from them, put it on different paper and handed us the SAME burger the people had returned and had gone though with their hands. I was so disgusted and appalled that they thought this was ok. Needless to say, we called them out on this and received a full refund. We definitely will not be back. Very unsanitary and poor customer service. read more

Decent burgers- but pretty hard to compete with Wholly Cow and Hopdoddy so close. Phil's just never really hits the spot for me. I like it for the casual setting- grab a beer, get Amy's ice cream afterwards (it's inside the same building) and kick it with friends on the playground outside haha but the actual food is just mediocre. Super friendly staff and always plenty of seating. Can be kinda noisy though! read more

Phil's Icehouse - Teachers can play too! - Burgers Near Me - Austin, Texas

Wow! This place is great! My friends and I were traveling along Lamar looking for a place to eat, and this placed popped up on Google Maps, so we just went to it! At first, it may look like your average hamburger fast food place with seats and beer, but this place really knows what a good hamburger is! The burger itself looks visually appealing, from the 78750 Burger to the Phil-A-Buster (my favorites), these burgers will make you rethink about other fast food places! The 78750 burger has nice and delicious onion rings that accompany the burger so well, along with our favorite burger topping, bacon! The sides are delicious as well, from the crispy french fries to the sweet potato fries (you can even get a mix of both if you like both!) read more

Okay here's the deal. Phil's is an underrated burger here in the ATX. Couple of issues with the S. Lamar location though. 1. What comes out of the kitchen and the service, while not bad person se, is noticeably worse than the north Austin location. 2. I don't know if it's the laker on the tables or just lackluster side work, but every table in this place is hilariously sticky. Every table. Every day. I challenge the mgmt to go in and lay a napkin flat on the table and try to peel it off without leaving some behind. Ewww! 3. The Burnet location is a 4.5 star burger joint. If you have the time go there. read more

Hamburgers are SO done in this little town and that's why this place is different. The burgers are worthy of exploring and don't forget the "other things" menu. I'm gonna try the Frito Pie next time just because. Mexican Coke from the fountain burns as it goes down and I for one couldn't wait to fill up my glass again. AND an Amy' Ice Cream shop in the same place guarantees you'll need a nap when you get back from lunch. read more

Phil's Icehouse - Lunch and desert at the same place - Burgers Near Me - Austin, Texas

5 stars for the fact that this is a place where a family / parent & kid can come, mom / dad can have an unhindered and unjudged adult beverage, the kids can have a sammich and ice cream and play on a pretty sweet little play ground, you can get the classic Amy's cow picture in the corner, then walk over the Half Price Books to pick up some self help "Mommy Who Drinks" material. I have to give 2 stars to the fact that for some reason an overwhelming number of parents in this world think that a playground is a babysitter and they don't need to watch or communicate with their little rapscallion at all once he's terrorizing the village. Thank God my child is perfect, right? But seriously, moms... let's watch our kids and for those of you with little ones under three, they don't belong on elevated surfaces at all unless you want me to A.) Yelp judge you B.) judge you to your face or C.) physically remove your child from their death perch and hand them to you in front of everyone, hopefully presenting enough public shame that you start to pay closer attention. End rant. Anyway, I love Phil's. There's seating on both sides of the playground, the service is really friendly - But this is a counter service place. The attendants come out pretty promptly to clear tables and such, and they're really great at the counter. The chicken sandwich and the burgers are really good. Portions are good and the price is right. It's just really nice to have a place that is contained and fully geared towards parents relaxing while their kids have some fun... as long as the other parents don't suck, you're going to have a great experience. read more

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

** The management has assured me that they will be looking into this to clean it** I came here hoping to love it, knowing that Amy's ice cream is a pretty solid brand, and they have fulfilled parents needs for brews, burgers, playgrounds and dessert. I'll admit, there are families everywhere, but for me, this place is really not managed well. I tried to sit outside at the plastic coated picnic tables, and there is black layers of dirt in the open holes on the table. Like inches thick. A power washing during closed hours could remedy this. Bees swarmed the area due to the food that had not been properly disposed of, and I had to move indoors to prevent being stung. Once indoors, I was fighting gnats and flies the entire time. Food caked on the floor, ketchup on bottles that had not been cleaned in a while and when we finally got our food, I was almost afraid to give my kid her hot dog, because it was a funny color. My order was wrong and my bun to my burger was rock hard in some places. They cater to families, but in the very least I'm afraid to see what the kitchen would be like, as this place just is not clean at all. I think Amy would be embarrassed. read more

Impressed with the quality of the food and the fast, thoughtful service they provide. The 78704 burger was tasty. Shoutout to Angela at the front for her professional and friendly service taking our order and bringing us our food! We will be back for sure in the future. read more

Playscape, patio, great food for the kiddos (and parents), cold draft beers, and Amy's Ice Cream. What else do you need?! The have an Adult Recess (happy hour), and the cheeseburgers, and chicken sandwich's are amazing, the grilled cheese's are awesome too. It's a great family atmosphere, the employees are always very friendly, and helpful, the prices are very reasonable as well. If you get a chance try the chicken sandwich fried read more

Its a well run burger place. Nice venue, with outdoor seating in the shade. Also has a nice tree and kids playground on the property. It is a burger place + amy's icecream in the same building. I don't see the complaint on other reviews about kids. My friend and I both ate during lunch, crowd seemed fine. I did a build your own burger. They serve it on a freshly baked bun, which a bit of sweet bun taste to it. I dig the thick fresh buns they serve it on. Burger itself was quite large, will certainly fill you up. Toppings were very fresh. Beef is decent, good bacon, two types of cheese to choose, fresh toppings, and freshly cut fries & really good onion rings. Very tasty Onion rings at that! Went in at 12:30pm on a typical lunch day, no big lines, food came out fast. Service is very friendly. This place doesn't make my top 5 burger list for Austin, but it is still a very good local burger place for south Austin. read more

After leaving my initial review, the manager at Phil's Ice House contacted me to apologize for my experience and offer us a gift certificate so we could give them another shot. That's great customer service and I really appreciated it. My husband and I went back on a Saturday evening. The place was busy! There was a line but the wait was short and we were able to place our order within 10 minutes. I'm now pregnant so I made sure to order my burger well done. We waited about 15 minutes for our food, which was reasonable given that the place was packed. My burger was well done as requested, but not dry or burnt at all. Both of us enjoyed our burgers, and the bun was cooked this time, although barely. The buns get very soggy very quickly, and to me they could be cooked some more to avoid the sogginess and give them at least a little color and crust. We both ended up discarding our the bottom half of the bun halfway through the burger because of it. The fries were good but not crispy and a little cold. Overall a good experience, tasty burgers, and great customer service! read more
