Customer Reviews

"Great local spot with a roadhouse feel in a farmhouse atmosphere. They have excellent service, simple familiar menu items with a pleasant upscale twist. Very fair prices, Lots of fresh baked giant cookies and even local Farm eggs, and honey to purchase. The venue is definitely set up for live music although it wasn't going when I visited. Try the Reuben, It was fantastic! I love that they make it with a homemade mustard sauce instead of thousand island dressing. The home cut fries were absolutely perfect! I would say skip the mac & cheese, just shells and American cheese. With as good as everything else was, I sure would love to try it if they made a real homestyle mac & cheese. Overall fantastic spot, don't skip it."

"I can not tell you enough how much I enjoyed that freaking bacon cheeseburger! The patty was juicy and the bacon was thick cut and crispy. They make thier own patties AND thier own fries!! It's out of the way for me but I'm coming back."

"This place is a "hidden gem". If you're headed down 105, it's only 1 mile off your route and we'll worth it! Great food, great people, and the price point is spot on. I had a BBQ sandwich for lunch, it was stacked with brisket and tasted great! I didn't take a picture of the case full of pies but I did take one home and it was delicious "

"I called ahead of time to ask for two burgers, and the gentleman who answered seemed annoyed. I went in, and the gentleman who had answered the phone still seemed annoyed. While I was waiting for my food, a black cat was walking through the establishment ( if I would have known, i would not have ordered). While I was waiting, a family walked in, in which the little girl also asked the man if a cat should be in there, the man never acknowledged the little girl the three times she repeated the question. I finally received my food. The food looked awesome. I cut the burger in half and started eating. Halfway through my meal, what did I find? Not a cat hair but a woman's hair wrapped up in my fries. I lost my appetite altogether."

"Yum! The food was delicious and there were some great options. Fun crowd, live music and the staff. Is efficient and friendly! We came the last Sunday of the month for the Jeep Days. They serve breakfast as well. We will definitely come next month for this event."

"Our first time eating here at the "new" location. We've gone to see bluebonnet many hears now but never took time to try the cafe. So today was the day. We had planned to have breakfast but unfortunately we were 5 minutes too late since it ends at 11am. Oh well. We ordered the brisket sandwich and pulled pork sandwich with side of fries. We have to say it's one of the best BBQ we've had. Sauce was great and meat was smokey and delicious. The Cafe is decoded with pictures and some antiques. The setting in on a little hill with bluebonnets growing all around. Service was great. We plan to go back again soon. Highly recommend."

"My brother and I came in and had lunch and pie! My brother had the catfish sandwich and I had the Reuben. Was definitely one of the best Reuben sandwiches I ever had in my life and the catfish sandwich was amazing! The pies were out of this world! I highly recommend Paying a visit to Whitehall Icehouse and Cafe! You won't regret it!"
