3,lbs of crawfish. Did not come with sausage:(
Phil M.

Came for the crawfish. 3/16/25. It's early in the season so they were mostly small w/ a few medium size. Honestly, I didn't think they were very spicy. Needs some additional Cajun seasoning on top. For those who haven't had crawfish here they have changed the delivery style. Gone are the red plastic trays. Now the bugs come in a plastic bag in a bowl. I ordered 3 lbs and it looked like 3 lbs. it's disappointing when you feel the weight is off. Anyways, I'd call the crawfish just fair. I'd give it a 3. Also, got a side of onion rings. Now I've traveled extensively and these are the best onion rings I've ever had. I'd give it a 5 The atmosphere is light, open, and fun. This isn't a bar type of place. Service was fair. Hardly saw him. They need more servers. Also had a very hard time getting someone to initially take my order. I'd give service a 3.

Cheesesteak
Jennifer G.

Two sides to the restaurant, bar is full service and the other side is an order at the counter. Server was great, very friendly and had lots of recommendations. Unfortunately on the cook side the medium burger came out extra well done and the Philly cheesesteak had very little cheese. Just ok.

$3.00 all day, every day!

I saw a $3.00 margarita sign, and thought, how odd, the hours aren't posted (happy hour, etc). Inside I found they are $3.00 all day, EVERY day. Our burgers were very good, the spicy guacamole. And, the burgers come with fries, but you can substitute grilled or steamed veggies or Mac & cheese. There seem to always be a drink special. This is our next burger place when in the mood for bur

This was my 2nd visit to Willie's Icehouse. Tonight, Addison was my first interaction as she was at the register taking orders and helping people like me make decisions. With her assistance, I went with the seafood combo - blackened catfish and grilled shrimp. For dessert, I chose the peach cobbler - amazing! Very casual and laid-back environment, which I feel is comforting. Many TVs all around the perimeter walls of the dining area, with a variety of things to watch. Prices are fair, service is above bar, casual and welcoming environment. Willie's Icehouse should be a regular stopping place for food, drink, and fun.

The fried shrimp basket was great! I think the best I had in years.! The coleslaw was in housemade tartar sauce in housemade everything was fresh. The service was great, friendly, and helpful and the ambiance had me staring around the facility.

Catfish basket

Willie's Grill and Icehouse We went to lunch here on a Friday around noon. The restaurant was busy, but we still had plenty of tables to choose from. After placing our order at the entrance line, we made our way to a nearby table. Our server was quick to greet us and confirm our orders. My order of fried catfish with french fries arrived piping hot. The fish was cooked just right and the fries were very tasty. Service was excellent and atmosphere was friendly and inviting.

I wouldn't call this place an icehouse.. there is no bar to sit at. It's like a walk thru line at a fairground. Left and went elsewhere.

Good food, good wait staff, and prices are affordable. I would eat here all the time if there weren't so many places to check out.

Local Table in The Woodlands is easily one of my favorite restaurants. The Local Kabob Plate is my…read morego-to order, and the food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and high quality. Having worked in restaurants for seven years, I know what great service and attention to detail look like, and Local Table delivers both every time. The staff always makes me feel like family, and Emerson, the owner, and Robert consistently stop by to say hello and make sure everything is perfect. The combination of outstanding food, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere makes Local Table one of the best dining experiences in The Woodlands. I highly recommend it!

We intended to go to Charm Thai over the weekend and parked at Local Table by mistake. We returned…read moretoday to correct the error. The outdoor patio looked pleasant. We did not sit there because it was hot. We sat indoors. It was just me and my child. Our waitress did not mention that kids (12 and under) eat free all day Mondays (and 10 am - 12 noon on weekends). I learned this from reading Google reviews after we had already ordered. After I asked, she confirmed the promotion and allowed us to add a kids meal since we had already ordered an adult entrée, which is the required condition. We ordered a kids' pizza. You can pepperoni for $1 but it's a free add on Mondays. Not gonna lie, pizza tasted off. Kid said it and I ignored her. Then I tried it and ack. We brought the rest home and stuck it in the fridge but it tasted even worse the next day. Tossed in trash. Service required frequent prompting. Like pulling teeth. I had to ask about the drink included with the kids meal. And yes Milk is an option. I also had to ask about the cookie that is supposed to come with the meal. We did not receive one. She said they had chocolate chip only as oatmeal and sugar cookies were gone. I said fine. We never got anything. So I went to the take out stand and we were told they were out of cookies. But they offered us a small brownie instead. Unfortunately however it contained nuts. For an appetizer, we ordered the cast iron spinach artichoke dip. The chip‑to‑dip ratio was not balanced. We ran out of chips way before the dip was gone. We also ordered the cast iron skirt steak (yes lots of cast irons). I requested medium rare. It arrived medium well and slightly tough however. You'd think they could easily tell this since they slice it all up before serving. It was not seasoned, but presumably that is because it is intended to be used with the chimichurri sauce provided. No salt on the tables. Overall, the experience and the food were marginal and borderline acceptable, but definitely unremarkable. Service is another story however. She was nice, just not very good at her craft.

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.

For the price, I expected something significantly better. Charging $14 for a slice of cake that tastes this average feels like a complete ripoff. I left disappointed and frustrated with the purchase and will not be returning. To make matters worse, they don't even accept tap-to-pay or Apple Pay. In 2026, that's an unnecessary inconvenience and shows a lack of investment in the customer experience. Between the overpriced, mediocre dessert and the outdated payment options, this was a thoroughly disappointing visit.
