South Texas Ice House, "Texas Cuisine" Products from the Texas Gulf to the Texas Hill Country."The huge snake logo on the outside of an otherwise nondescript building -- created by Bob "Daddy-O" Wade, best known for the oversize boots that front San Antonio's North Star Mall -- is your first hint that this place might be a bit, well, different. Inside, cowboy kitsch, 1950s diner decor, and Mexican folk art mingle, as do workers from the nearby county offices, local movers and shakers, and anyone else looking for terrific food that, like the decor, defies easy categorization.Call it South Texas gourmet. You can really taste the chipotle chilies in the tartar sauce that comes with some of the best crispy oysters this side of the Mason-Dixon Line, and the Gulf fish tacos are gussied up with chili lime aioli and Tabasco jalapeño onions. You get the idea -- lots of spicy dishes."

    Great space for large group of friends since they have several big tables. Super chill spot to watch football games, and they even have specials. The drinks and the food are spot on too.

    My wife & I enjoyed Saturday brunch here. We absolutely want to come back during evening service. Homey Moon has a great looking patio, and the first stop once inside a super cool bar that looks like a speakeasy and a western saloon had a love child. I would have loved to have a few drinks and test the bartenders, but, well, brunch is a little early… The menu, like the restaurant itself, is eclectic; but unfamiliar; a really nice change from the same ‘ol same ‘ol. The service was on point, with everything arriving on time and at temperature. The room is a bit noisy, so a meal here is more fun and vibrant vs. quiet & romantic.

    I like this place and staff was great too, but my steak and frites came out both cold, barely warm. It was still tasty though but not what I expected for the cost. I really didn’t have time to send it back just pushed through cold meat and frites lol

The service was excellent, with attentive and friendly staff making the experience even better. And the atmosphere? Over the top in the best way possible! It’s the perfect spot for a memorable night out. Highly recommend!
