"A shaded patio with a playground is the draw at this ice house, though the kids also appreciate the hamburgers, hot dogs, and fries. A “parents’ recess” happy hour brings discounts on draft beer from 3 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., and other menu items like Frito pies and onion rings round out the menu for any adults at the table. There are two additional locations, which both have playscapes, on Burnet Road — brilliantly next to Amy’s Ice Cream — and North 183. Takeout orders can be placed online." - Erin Russell
