It's got kind of a we-want-to-play-cornhole-but-we-don't-want-the-riffraff-around-when-we-do-it-and-we-want-to-wear-polo-shirts-while-we-do-it vibe. The service was good and the chicken fried steak was also tasty. Now, I do not get the let's-stack-all-of-our-food-on-top-of-each-other-so-our-food-can-have-height trend that frou-frou chefs do now that landed my crispy brussel sprouts inbetween my mashed potatoes and country fried steak and then got slathered in country gravy, but that aside, pretty good. read more

I really wanted to love The Icehouse because the space itself is fantastic--great atmosphere, awesome location, and a place that should be a go-to spot in Edmond. Unfortunately, the pricing versus portion size completely misses the mark. The fried bread appetizer was $12 and barely about six inches long. Not sure how that's meant to be shared. The deviled eggs were $13 for six halves...that's just three eggs. For those prices, you expect either larger portions or something that really stands out--but the food was just average. A pimento burger at $17 and a Caesar salad at $12 wouldn't be an issue if everything else matched up, but combined with the small portions and overall quality, it just feels overpriced. It's frustrating because this place has so much potential. With a few adjustments--especially bringing prices down a couple bucks or increasing portion sizes--they could absolutely pack the place. Right now, it just doesn't justify the cost. read more

On a beautiful evening, we were on the hunt for a patio spot and decided to check out Old Ice House, conveniently located right next to The Ice House Project. Our group of six grabbed a table outside, and it couldn't have been more perfect. The service was attentive, and the food and drinks hit the mark. We tried the burgers and fries. Fries were homemade and delicious! Our favorite drink was the Rattlesnake Kate but get it quick because it's seasonal. The indoor space looked inviting too, spacious with a relaxed vibe. The only downside? The music. Slow country tunes played nonstop, which didn't quite match the lively atmosphere we were hoping for. We asked if they'd consider mixing in some upbeat country and/or top 40 hits, but it seems the owners are pretty set on their playlist (at least that is what we were told). It was disappointing especially as I read other reviews that they want to be a premiere music spot. Can certain nights be different music selections to appeal to all customers? There's a lot of potential here! Note: we were one of maybe five tables there, and that's counting inside and outside. Fun fact: we learned the same owners run Round Midnight in downtown Edmond and have plans to open a deli next door. We love Round Midnight! Looking forward to seeing the deli menu. read more

This place had highs and lows. Let's start with the highs. Great initial service. Seated quickly and super kind host that got us a happy hour menu fast so we could get a discount. The atmosphere is enchanting. The lows. Literally everything after we were seated. Our appetizer was ok, we got the BBQ okra, a little messy and hard to eat. Tasted good and the lemon aioli was surprising. I would not order again if not on the happy hour menu. Half way through our appetizer we finally got our bar drinks. In full transparency there were only 2 other tables going at that time. We spent an hour there just on drinks and apps and were underwhelmed even with the happy hour prices. We ended up not ordering dinner because of the limited menu. I did hear there is a heavier menu that comes out later in the night but that would have been a nice option at 7pm read more

Food was great, but the service was atrocious. I had an order for pick up and had to go back twice because items' were left out. There was no one there but me so no excuse for it. read more

My wife and I went on a recent Tuesday evening around 5:30. Not another soul in the dining area. There were a few folks in the bar. A couple other tables joined us after a while. The space has the warehouse vibe (lots of hard surfaces) and was very clean. There is a small stage but no live music on this night. This maybe more of a later evening place with more of a focus on the liquor than the food (limited items on the menu). The server was friendly, prompt and ran down the specials for us. I had the burger/fry basket, and my wife splurged on the chicken fried steak. The burger was average, and the fries were the coated variety which I like. The chicken fried steak was huge but again just average. Might go back when there is music and throw back a few brews. read more

I have sat on this for almost a week, but I'm going to post in hopes the ownership will read and take some steps toward improvement. This place is so cool. The opportunity for it to be a staple in Edmond is there for the taking, but service and food have got to improve. We had one meal here a few months ago and we were 50/50. Wife really liked hers, me, not so much. We were at the farmer's market last Saturday and we usually do brunch after. I'd seen something about the ice house doing brunch so we gave it a shot. There were 3 occupied tables, including ours, and you'd have thought the restaurant was overwhelmed. The single server took our drink orders and we didn't see her or the drinks for 15 minutes. She finally takes our order and the food again takes way longer than it should. Wife wanted pancakes. In all honesty we should have asked questions, but we didn't. She ordered pancakes and a side of bacon. The pancakes were maybe 3 inches in diameter and the 2 pieces of bacon were barely cooked. I should also mention her food was cold. She asked for butter, and when it finally arrived, it was essentially frozen. These two pancakes cost $6. I got the chicken fried steak and eggs. The eggs and potatoes were actually well done, but the chicken fry was burnt past all recognition. I honestly should have sent it back. Then there was my mother's meal. She got the ice house breakfast and asked for poached eggs. Her eggs were delivered in a ramekin, no big deal, but there was a half inch of water they were swimming in. She cut into them and I've seen softer hard boiled eggs. Again, should have sent them back, but at that point we just wanted to get out. Oh, should also mention we never got a coffee or water refill. It's just not that hard to execute breakfast food. It's just not that hard to establish a level of good service. I want this place to succeed. I love that it's also a music venue. Please get your act together. read more

Cool space, good cocktails, but went on a Thursday night and it took over an hour to get our food order with only about 15 other people in the restaurant. read more

My husband was craving a chicken fried steak so we decided to try this new restaurant. The chicken fried steak comes with peas. Not sure why peas? Nobody eats out for peas. We asked about swapping the peas for green beans. When we received the check, we were charged $2 extra for the vegetable change. I understand up charging for changes but the server "should" always share this information immediately. Green beans are not worth an up charge! So now an already overpriced $24 item was now $26. He said the steak was good but that the breading and fry was not. It was flat and flavorless. I ordered the chicken basket. The fry seemed much better on it. It came with fries and 1 onion ring, which the onion ring was probably the best item. Overall, average experience. read more

New location in a really cool building, very tastefully remodeled with touches of the old with new. The video I saw promoted by @aventuresinoklahoma on IG. When I saw the macaroni and cheese I was ALL IN and very excited. The place is right down the street from the rail yard and looks like a copycat version but smaller and not in as good of a location. We were really excited to try the food because the chef is supposed to be relatively known for winning some national TV cooking contest tv shows. We ordered the candied pepper bacon as an appetizer, pot roast Mac and cheese and the burger basket. The bacon came out in 1 thick piece rather than thick slices which was weird but interesting. There wasn't much candy flavor, nor pepper and it didn't have much of a "bark". It was tough, chewy and fatty. Just Meh Then the main course came out. The restaurant smelled so good with the smell of the burgers and my GF loves a burger so we were happy to try it. I love good Mac and cheese but most places overcook the noodles that make them mushy. First impression of her burger was very basic . The flavor was underwhelming. Nothing to write home about. My Mac and cheese didn't look like it had any cheese in it. There was a lack of the onions or pieces of pot roast as well. You know how cheddar cheese is yellow? Well, wouldn't Mac and cheese be yellow as well and cheesy? The noodles looked dry, the sauce looked like a stroganoff cream sauce with bits of pot roast. Great flavor, no cheese, needed salt and pepper and came out warm, but not hot. My biggest compliment on this was the macaroni noodles were not overcooked like 99% of places. When the server, Charisma, asked how our meal was I told her the truth. She reported it to the owner and found out her boyfriend, who she was embarrassed to admit, had just started working there and was the one who cooked it. She apologized profusely and offered to make it right. I didn't have much faith that if they didn't get it right the first time that they could get it right the second time. She noticed that the noodles didn't look right, the bacon looked undercooked and made us feel validated for our less than impressive first experience. The most disappointing thing to find out was that the chef, who was in charge of the place had been hanging out by the bar socializing with staff the entire time from when we came in to when we left and never once came over to apologize or try to make it right. This is a glaring lack of leadership. You have a new restaurant that's 6-7 weeks old, you're not working in the back, you're not managing the staff and not taking ownership for the lack of standards in your place tarnishing your reputation. Knowing this was not the chef's best foot forward, I'd considering going back to give it another shot. But for $61 before tip and $75 after, it was very disappointing but hoping next time it will be a better experience. Could be a really cool place, especially if they have live music on Saturday nights if the chef is the one doing the cooking and maintaining the standards that won him the 2 awards on the TV shows. Long story short, we love to support local businesses and this place could be SPECIAL if the leader steps up instead of acting like and entitled prima donna who can't be bothered with anything other than praise and adoration. read more

Our poor server was left alone to manage the whole floor, so service was not great but not her fault. Food was well below average. Two stars because the appetizers were okay and the drinks were nicely done. read more

Let me start by saying I don't give out 1 star reviews often. It has to be really bad for me to give a 1 star review. The Old Ice house was on a list of restaurants that our friend group had on our list to try so when we had someone in our group with a birthday, we chose the Old Ice House. With a party of 13, I wanted to make reservations early. Their website uses Resy. But for a party 13+ it says when you try to make a reservation that you need to call or email them and gives an email address. I sent the Old Ice house an email on 4/11/25 and I also called them on Friday April 11th. No one answered the phone and I never got a response to my email. On the 14th I emailed again. On the 15th I tried to call. Over the course of that week I sent two email and had called 5 times and nothing. I then thought maybe they've gone out of business. So I went to the local foodies page and the all things local page and asked. Everyone was super helpful and said no they were still open. A few people suggested I go to the restaurant to make the reservation, others suggested I message them. So I messaged them. I finally heard from someone on the 17th. See picture below of the message they sent me along with the RESY Screenshot of the actual reservation. We were all set finally and I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt based on their message and move on. The day before our reservation I received a confirmation text. I confirmed but I knew at that point, we were short a couple of people so I wanted to call them just to let them know that we didn't need 13 seats. Guess what? They never answered their phone. Honestly, this makes me nervous. I'm not feeling too good about this. Admittedly, I'm now going into this with a tainted view. We all get there and remember the picture of our Reservation. It says in all CAPS, PRIVATE ROOM. Nope. See the picture of our table in the main dining room. We did not get the PRIVATE Room, someone else did. They seat us and next to us there was a table for 6. Some friends at that end of table had set some gifts for the birthday girl on it. The host/manager/owner came over and according to multiple people at that end he very rudely told them, they could not put stuff there because they need it for seating. Of course they moved the stuff and it wasn't intentional. They were hugging and saying hello, sat some stuff down and wasn't really thinking about it. None of the people in our party knew about my tainted view as this was supposed to be a happy occasion. So they told me about his rudeness not knowing what had already happened. And no one was seated there for over an hour. Do you really want to be rude and snappy to people just arriving. Come on guy, its sets a tone! We all ordered drinks, a bottle of wine, appetizers, fried green tomatoes, charred okra, deviled eggs and the cowboy caviar. Everything was good but the cowboy caviar. It was just basically black eyes peas with a little bit of tomatoes, jalapeños, it was supposed to have onions and cilantro but I didn't see any or taste any with tortilla chips. They put the chips around the inside edge of the bowl so the chips were soggy by the time we got them. There were 4 of us that ordered the Old Fashion. The 4 of us know what an Old Fashion should look and taste like. There was so little bourbon in it that it barely had color. See pictures. It was a lot of ice and simple syrup with a splash of bourbon for color. Finally it's time to order entrees......We had all been to their website and seen the pictures of their food. I was super excited about the stuffed pepper after seeing the pictures. It looked crispy and tasty on a bed of black eyed peas. We ordered and then we waited and waited ......and waited......and waited. Our wait person brought 4 people at the table their entrees, they waited on everyone else to eat, another 15-20 minutes later they brought all but one of us our food. The 4's food was now cold and soggy. The one waited another 15 minutes before he got his. That stuffed pepper I was so excited about wasn't coated in anything like the picture ( I included both) . It was just a plain poblano pepper sitting in way too many black eyed peas, it was not good. Our friends that ordered the Indian Tacos all said the bread was too thick and dry. That the meat had no flavor and it needed a salsa or sauce of some kind. I personally was never asked if I wanted another drink although I probably would have declined at that point. The rest of the group said the food was so so. No one in our group thought it would be worth a trip back. All in all it was a bad experience for us and I honestly hate that. I was so excited about this restaurant and it was a total let down. read more

It was a gorgeous day to sit outside on the patio. Service was attentive. Brunch was superb all around. Our crew ordered chicken fried steak, burger, french toast and huevos rancheros. Everyone enjoyed their dish. We also had the sausage balls for an appetizer and they were very flavorful. Cocktails were tasty read more

Dined here on NYE and the food was delicious. It's a cozy venue, wait staff were attentive, drinks were divine (yes, a really good cosmo!), and food was scrumptious. Butternut soup was creamy, prime rib cooked perfectly and absolutely delicious and lastly a yummy cheesecake topped with salted caramel sauce. Decadent! read more

We reserved The ice House for our daughter"s wedding reception. We had heavy appetizers, chicken on a biscuit, steak sandwich, shrimp cocktail and my favorite mashed potatoes topped with roast and a brown gravy. Many other things, cheese, veggies and fruit, even deviled eggs . We had an open bar of wine and beer. We had approximately 90 people . Outside we danced the night away to a great dejay. The manager was absolutely the nicest person . Really was up to anything we wanted. We highly recommend The Ice House. With their help the evening was perfect!. read more

The Old Icehouse - Casey 3 - Music Venues Near Me - Edmond, Oklahoma

Mixed experience. Ambiance is weak. Too bright at 6 pm summer dinner. Zero blinds or shades. Blinded at the bar. Dining tables and chairs kinda look like they came from Sam's Club. Get some booths. Figure out lighting. Get some art on the walls. Waitress had low energy. Steak was solid. Advertised as 14 ounce - looked more like 10 ounce. Thin. Sides of mashed potatoes and green beans were portion size for a toddler at best - maybe 3-4 bites of each. Cheesecake was great! But you don't want dessert to be your meal highlight. Not sure I'll go back. read more

This place is one of the grossest food I've ever had. Everything comes out disgusting and looks like throw up they need to learn to plate. The management is horrible I think her name was Kayla. Zach their chef is supposed to be good but everything he touches fails and it's pretty obvious why. Can't wait till this place closes down and something good opens up in its place. read more

Beautiful restaurant. Somewhat short menu but several good options. Didn't love the cornbread sticks; nothing special. But the chicken fried steak had a crispy breading with a tender steak inside and great flavor. They have many good events; follow on social media for updates. read more

Great food. Great bar. Great staff. Nice music in the bar. Great place to eat and drink and can have a conversation and hear each other.

This restaurant has potential. Not too late to turn a few corners and improve on the overall experience. Service was mediocre and the food was average to maybe slightly above average. The restaurant can't seem to make up it's mind as to if its a nice sit down restaurant, club, bar or combination of the above. I found the environment to be too bright and stoic. There is a stage that takes up a good amount of the floor space. Typically don't see a stage at high end restaurants so I would call The Old Icehouse a hybrid experience that doesn't really shine at any level of restaurant, club or bar. Train your staff to have good energy and regularly check on guests. Don't be out of beer selection as my top two choices were not in stock. Have some beer on tap. Odd in that our waitress had never heard of beer on tap. She look puzzled. Menu is very limited. The appetizer menu is not appealing due to the odd selections. Blacked eyed peas are probably the best thing on the menu. My steak was overcooked. The side portions of mashed potatoes and green beans were really small. read more
