| - I mostly enjoy this place because it's a fun spot to go with friends. One of my favorite things to do for an early dinner with a few pals (early because Icehouse fills up so quickly), is to order a pitcher of bourbon lemonade, a bucket of chicken, and a bucket of ribs. It's a pretty amazing feeling when you're super hungry and someone comes over and just dumps a mountain of fried chicken and biscuits on the table right in front of you. It's a super-casual good time and feels just like you're at a backyard BBQ that you never ever have to clean up.
Honestly, though, I go to Icehouse more for the feast-fest than because I love their fried chicken and/or ribs. I think they add honey to their fry batter or something -- not sure. Normally, I can really get behind a killer savory-sweetish combo, but when it comes to fried chicken, I'm a traditionalist. Don't get me wrong, though -- it's still good (maybe even great). But just not my fav. The ribs are fall-off-the-bone, which is exactly how I think a rib should be, and they sure are tasty. But again, just not my fav.
