This is the second Waterloo Ice House in Austin. The original was on Congress Avenue in an area that is now too expensive for anything, let alone a bar. There are several other locations around town but this one is my favorite. I ordered some take out from this place the other night and it was the first time I ever had any food from here. I've had plenty of beers in the past but never got around to the menu. It's a burger, sandwich, salad, chicken fried steak sort of place but what's wrong with that? I love their fries and the onion rings were mighty decent too. The way people were shovelling the food in I have to assume that it is all pretty good. In fact I would bet on it. They have music on the weekends and I can assure you it will be hopping during SXSW2008. It's located one block west of Lamar on 38th Street at the corner of Medical Parkway. There is a pretty good sized parking lot right behind the place and street parking nearby if it is too full. They have a few video games for the kids, so if you've got them, bring them and the place has several different rooms if you crave some privacy. I don't go here with any regularity but I've been in the place at least a dozen times and never could find anything to complain about so I guess that would qualify as a recommendation. Tell them Wisegeorge sent you. They won't know what the hell you are talking about but it will be fun to see the look on their face. http://www.waterlooicehouse.com/
