I recently had the pleasure of dining at the Icehouse in Summerville, SC, and I wanted to highlight the exceptional service provided by our waitress, Susie. From the moment we were seated, Susie was warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home. Her knowledge about the menu was impressive, and she provided thoughtful recommendations that truly enhanced our dining experience. Susie was attentive without being intrusive, ensuring our drinks were filled and that we had everything we needed throughout our meal. What stood out the most was her genuine friendliness and willingness to go the extra mile to make our visit enjoyable. It’s clear that she takes great pride in her work. Overall, our experience at the Icehouse was elevated thanks to Susie's fantastic service, and I would highly recommend visiting if you're in the area.

Nice little place with friendly staff! Dog friendly outdoor seating. We’ve enjoyed many lunches and dinners here! Our kids are obsessed with the giant Sasquatch 😂.

Stopped for dinner with a friend/co-worker before a school graduation! I ordered the chicken fingers with a side caesar salad! Both dishes were so good, and I cannot wait to go back & bring my fiancé with me!

We had an excellent server. He recommended the bottle of wine. It was very good. He was funny and helpful. Food was very good. We had a fairly large table and everyone was pleased with their meal. I hope to be able to go back again when in that area. I will say it gets very crowded.

Very good experience! My wife and I came here on New Year’s Eve, and was fortunately able to be sat down pretty quickly! The parking lot was very small but we found a spot across the street. It was initially hard to find the entrance, as it is apparently in the back of the building. We mistakenly walked up the stairs to another bar area, but if you want the restaurant you have to enter through the back. Our waitress was extremely nice, especially for working on a holiday. Our meals were also very, very good! The food is slightly pricy, but I can’t complain because it is a nicer place. The menu has a good variety of food. For appetizers we ordered the spinach artichoke dip, and the she-crab soup. Both VERY tasty. I would ask for both pita AND chips with the dip (pro tip). I would order either one of them again in a heartbeat. Our entree’s were also extremely good. I ordered the seared scallops and shrimp, which was a new years special meal. We also finished it off with beignets for dessert. Those were good, but sort of plain. However, overall the meal was fantastic paired with the very hospitable service. The atmosphere is pretty cool and unique inside with the brick and old design. Any slight negatives were overshadowed by the great experience we had. We will be back!

Its been over 8 years since I've sat down and enjoyed a meal here and I must say I am still impressed. Per the usual vibes were good. "JRay" our server very knowledgeable of the menu items and highlighted key items. Drinks were topped off nicely. Shrimp was fresh and cooked perfectly tossed in choice hot sauce and topped with feta. French fries crispy even though loaded with cheese and bacon. Brisket tacos were tender and juicy, succulent if you will. Now the deviled eggs???? Ohh Lawd 🤤🤤🤤🤤. My girlfriend is a summerville native this being her first time in Icehouse restaurant she was impressed, everything was amazing. Thanks for a local 5* feel. Until next time.

My friend and I came here because the original place we were going to meet was having work done. Such a good idea! I had the fried shrimp with collards and sweet potato fries. Everything tasted great but I especially enjoyed the greens. She got the steak bite appetizer with some other food - she was happy too. They had some kind of boba martini special on the menu - I HAD to try it! It was okay, my friend's drink looked better with the whipped cream on top but I forgot what she ordered. We had the section pretty much to ourselves (it was early afternoon) and the ambiance, service, and overall experience was nice - no complaints at all.

Heard great things about this southern restaurant and had to try it out. Located in the heart of Historic Summerville. Got there around 5pm and avoided the crowd. Entrance is on the side. Great outdoor seating with an area for the kids to play. We ate inside (105 degrees) in July and sat at the bar. Shelby was our server/bar tender. We tried steak bites (so delicious) bang bang shrimp (on point) and the Icehouse salad with cheddar, apples and candied pecans. Exactly what we needed! We learned about the history of the ice house and enjoyed the cozy-friendly vibe! We will be back.
