The food was good especially the pulled pork and the brisket. I liked the sauce offerings. I enjoyed the sides as they were different from the sweet ones normally served with BBQ in this area. I really appreciated the passion of the pitmaster, he was so into the Que it made the meal for me. It is a small venue, and the menu interesting. This is Texas style BBQ.

Kind of hidden so it was quiet. Which was perfect. Brisket nachos are great and the staff is friends. Jewel the dog will greet you when you walk in.. so sweet!

Awesome brisket! Best I've had in Birmingham.

Really nice guys running the place and good service. If pressed I would say it is more Texas style than Alabama, but in the end they missed the mark for any Texas native. Specifically with the sausage. I can't be 100% sure, but it tasted and looked suspiciously like Conecuh (A good sausage, no doubt, but unique to Alabama and not Texas). I'm sure this barbecue would pass for an Alabama native looking for a change from pulled pork, but if you've spent any reasonable amount of time in Texas enjoying brisket and smoked sausage, be warned this will not cure your home sickness.

I grew up eating Brisket in Texas and it was moist and smoky. A lot of it was smoked by my uncle, a native Texan. What was served at Ice House tonight was not at all like this. It was very dry. The bread shouldn't toasted, it should be white. There should be pickles. I've never had conecuh style sausage in Texas.

Very nice little place, walked right in, excellent service, and the brisket sandwich was amazing. Brisket was very flavorful, smokey, sweet, not dry, not greasy and a great departure from most Alabama BBQ. Loved it. Hope to visit again soon.

Great brisket and service. And so far the only place in Birmingham that I have found with breakfast tacos.
Daniel Webb
Very good food, service and a great environment! We will be back soon!

Super solid. Love the atmosphere, and the Texas style BBQ. It's refreshing from the standard Alabama pulled pork. Decent bar, and great service.

I had my first meal here today and I must say these guys understand TX BBQ. Being from TX I have eaten all the good BBQ restaurants in my home state. These guys clearly did their homework. I will have to admit I was a bit skeptical at first but that skepticism was quelled when I smelled that familiar smell of post oak and saw that beautiful smoke ring. I have traveled the state of Alabama and have been in BBQ competitions myself and I must say this is the only BBQ restaurant in the state that I have been to that understands how we do it in Texas.
Very cool spot. Excellent food, drinks & service. Josh is a great host!

I have to give this place 5 stars. The food is just amazing! All of the sides and the sauce is made in house. The macaroni and cheese was great! Best of all, this is a “hole in the wall†place that you will leave feeling very satisfied.

Finally able to visit ICEHOUSE today! The atmosphere is awesome! Josh is great and very knowledgeable of all the offerings! We had the big as Texas tray AND the bologna sandwich....both were AMAZING!!!! Bombshell Blonde Ale was great! Jalapeí±o margarita was super tasty with a little kick! We will definitely come back as often as we can! Superb service and delicious barbecue! Do yourself a favor and try ALL the sauces! Texas Hot was our favorite but all were great! Hope to see you there!
