The 11 Best Restaurants In Woodstock, New York - Hudson Valley - The Infatuation

"The team behind Phoenicia Diner opened this barbecue spot in Woodstock, and it’s perfect for outdoor dining in the covered patio or picnic area. The menu has a bunch of meat (brisket, fried chicken sandwiches, pulled pork, etc.), as well as daily specials and not-boring options for vegetarians, like an oyster mushroom bánh mì. Make sure to get a side of baked beans made with molasses and thick-cut bacon. " - Team Infatuation

This pop-up dinner was very unique with the Cheez-it theme. The menu was reasonable all made with Cheese -it cracker recipes. It has take out and sit in service and we had chicken tenders with biscuit dinners and a shakes. The chicken was very good and the shake tasted amazing (other items available) The restaurant is so busy that you can easily wait 2 hours before service at take out alone. ( They do cut off the lines to limit late time service). The experience was fun and they have a free cheese-it sample bar, a cheese-it photo station and a merchandise area to save the memories and pass the time away.

Sweet roadside spot in Woodstock/the Catskills. Love the building, so we had to stop in for a mid-afternoon local beer and some fries. Both great! One improvement would be to teach the servers about the local products served. I feel they were under informed and under enthusiastic but definitely friendly. We were there after lunch and before dinner so it was not crowded. Great prices and atmosphere.

Stopped by because the food sounded delicious based on the menu. We had the buttermilk fried chicken with mashed potatoes and corn bread. As well as the Dixon burger with fries and Mac and cheese. Everything was amazing ! The hot honey and chicken are to die for! Would recommend to anyone if you’re in town or live close by ! Great selection of draft beers as well.

First time in Woodstock and first time having dinner in Woodstock. And Dixon Roadside did not disappoint. Plenty of seating indoors and outdoors for family, friends or even coming in for date night which I did with my boyfriend. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. The food was delicious. Everything I loved about this place - comfort food, good portion side meats and sides, and the best of all - good selection of cocktails and beers.

I absolutely love this place! The building and design are fantastic. While I'm more into the sides than the protein when it comes to BBQ, everything here is delicious. I'm particularly glad it's not on the main street in Woodstock, as it provides a peaceful escape from the constant hustle and bustle. The vibe is simply great!

This was a great find in the Catskills! Casual BBQ, great for families too. We really liked everything we got (pulled pork, fried chicken sandwich, brisket and all the sides). I also appreciate everything they were doing to make sure it was safe during Covid (masks, sanitizer, markings on floor, reminder to stay 6ft apart). Best part was the outdoor dining area with tables spaced apart both under a roof and picnic tables under trees. They also have a separate take out window. Will definitely visit again!

So glad my gf and I stopped and tried this place after a nice hike. The food was amazing. We had a burger, a chicken sandwich with sides of Potato wedges and an amazing tasting biscuit. We also had an amazing desert that was basically local Ronny brook soft serve ice cream with apple cider and cinnamon. They also have a great local beer variety. I ordered an IPA on tap (forgot to ask what companyit was) and my gf ordered a limeade type drink. Both fantastic. The atmosphere was very cool. It's very open, like a giant garage with 2 of the doors open for outdoor patio seating. And a nice bar on the inside. Hope to make it up to this place again this summer. Chill music choices too.

Great atmosphere with extremely friendly staff. However, the food sadly does not match the great ambiance and charm of this establishment. I got the brisket which was very dry, too dry. The corn muffin lacked much flavor. The steak fries also lacked flavor and were more like wedges. The chicken wings were cooked to perfection! However, I could only taste salt so I only had 1. The mashed potatoes were flavorless as well. The mac and cheese was the only item having any flavor. Maybe it was an off night as other reviews seem more favorable and it is a popular spot. On the plus side, they are extremely dog friendly! The staff were extremely kind as well. Would give the food one star and everything else 5 stars.

So disappointing that this place has closed...I was here in April of 2023 and the food was delicious. It is right off of a main thorough-fare in Woodstock, surrounded by trees with tall garage-door windows along the front exterior. The banister around the circumference of the restaurant is lined with pretty-white lights. We went here before a concert and it was the perfect meal. I ordered the macaroni and cheese with a side salad, my boyfriend ordered a cheeseburger with fries and we split the buffalo chicken wings topped with blue cheese. We were starving after hiking and sight-seeing all day and this was the perfect meal to end the excursion. Friendly waitstaff and great selection of beer. Please see the pictures below!

A place where you're welcome with open arms and your dog too! (Porch area only, but still!) Finally a roadside eatery that serves (fast-ish) homemade, amazing, southerny, comfort food! Came on a freezing Thursday evening and had to of course sit inside (can't wait to come here in the warmer months). You order at the counter, pick from their awesome menu, a daily menu that has different items of the day is also available. They make what's fresh and in season. Things like meatless Monday and Trippin' Thursday are definitely a lot of fun to try! Because it was cold and we had just spent the afternoon at a local spa, we were starved. We wanted warm, comfort food and that's exactly what we got at Dixon! Also it's not just comfort food it's comfort staff, they're pretty rad. ***Finally*** comfort, southern twist food, with vegan and vegetarian options. THANK YOU! Droolworthy menu items like the oyster mushroom melt, baked mac and cheese with the option to add local mushrooms (instead of bacon). This place has it all: from buttermilk mashed potatoes to in house fresh made cornbread, you might have a hard time just ordering a few things off the menu. We decided to order different things to try so we got things like the amazing smoked squash (hugeeee and nicely portioned) that comes with those roasted local mushrooms exploding with flavor and texture). Did I say we love mushrooms? Because we sure stinkin do! Got the mushroom and white bean chili (THANKS FOR IT NOT AUTOMATICALLY HAVING HAM OR BACON IN IT) which was DELICIOUS. Paired our meals with buttermilk mashed potatoes, cornbread and the Memphis style slaw. Ok also got to try their kimchi which I recommend NOT skipping. I know I already mentioned this place is dog friendly and really loves dogs. They have a special dog patty made dog friendly with no salt or seasonings so your furry baby can also enjoy. Dogs allowed outside only but it's gorgeous out there so worth it! Thank you Dixon for being more than a roadside food joint, for having variety in the menu, for including most dietary needs, being obsessed with mushrooms as much as we are and mostly, for thinking about the dogs and even having a dedicated patty for them! Can't wait to be back!

Interesting concept at Dixon Roadside, which seems to be common in this area. You order your food first at the front counter, they provide a number and you place it on a stand at the table of your choice. Overall, Dixon left a pretty good impression on us. Parking was available, tables were available, they weren't out of anything we ordered. So far so good. We started out with drinks. I went with a classic rosé and this brand, Prisma, was surprisingly delicious. The oyster mushroom bahn mi was average in my opinion. It was messy, and the bread was a bit too toasted and hard. Lots of flavor though, and the employee did warn me that it was spicy. Street corn was solid!!! Buttery, cheesy and complimented my meal perfectly. Highly recommend getting it as a side. Last but not least, the sweet potato pie. It was not rich in sweet potato flavor, but I thoroughly enjoyed the crust. It satisfied my sweet tooth and for that, I can't be upset. Decent place to grab a beer and a quick bite if you're ever in Woodstock, NY.

We recently stopped by for lunch on our way back to the city. Being fans of Phoenicia Diner, we were excited to try their sister restaurant. It was a Monday, so it wasn't very busy. The space is nicely designed, modern and spacious with a large outdoor area and a bar inside. I had the O-Ren salad with crispy chicken, my partner had the Smoked Brisket, and we shared a side of mac n cheese. The servings were very generous. Everything was delicious! I particularly enjoyed the salad, which was fresh and very filling. Service was friendly and attentive at all times. I would certainly come back!

First time at Dixons. Was craving some BBQ and with some rave reviews online, I can see this place being absolutely packed on a nice summer evening. Not sure if I really got the fully scope and potential of this restaurant. I opted for the brisket, slaw and cornbread as a side, also got the pork sandwich with collard greens. Maybe I'm not a BBQ consiour but I've never seen brisket like this before. Was a wet, little to no flavoring and no signs of the tell tale smoke ring or tender meat. Portion was a little on the light side for the price. The slaw was good and the cornbread bite was tasty. The pork sandwich was definitely the move. Seems like the majority of sandwiches are. Need to swing back to give the chicken sandwich a try. Little disappointed, but will have to try again.

Bookmarked as my Catskill go to especially when I needed something yummy and quick but not fast food. This place is a gem. I have gone to Woodstock so many times, it is hard to find a place to eat without making a fuss about parking, reservation, it's a Monday night nothing's open, or the wait is too long. Dixon Roadside is by my side. Many options, vegetarian, fish, meat, and vegan (?? Please check menu for it but I would be surprised that they don't) funky draft beers or not, they have desserts too. The rainbow trout burger was delicious especially the wasabi mayo that gave it a real nice kick. The steak fries is a killer too. The Dixon burger has lovely fried onions inside. And the patty was nicely done. It's a quality burger for sure! They have outdoor seating too but in the winter it's a bit too cold but imagine sitting out there for a beer? We'll be back soon.

We enjoyed a lovely lunch at Dixon Roadside on the way in to Woodstock, NY. Oyster Mushroom and Kimchi Bánh mì were fantastic on the patio, as was Mac & Cheese with Cornbread and Biscuits (our son's selection). Really awesome food that has a plethora of vegetarian options. Items are incredibly interesting. We've stopped here before and it did not disappoint. Of course, being Woodstock, it is very dog friendly. We return whenever we are in the area.

Honestly, this place was horrible. The food was inedible, gross, and overpriced. The staff was friendly but not very helpful. The portions and quality of food are not worth the price at all. This place is 100% catered to city people who don't care about the price and like the atmosphere. My advice? Skip this place at all costs. The sauce selection was a huge let down especially for the cost. The burger was a let down as it was dry and had no flavor. Save your time and money and go somewhere else.

The legendary Gypsy Wolf Cantina restaurant in Woodstock morphed into Dixon Roadside with a new style and new owner several years ago. It has most of those comfort, southern classics here: the brisket, pulled pork, collard greens, baked beans, corn bread. And it wouldn't be complete if Woodstock didn't add their own Vegan and Vegetarian spin to their menu. We were tossed between staying or leaving as we also wanted a more celebratory dinner atmosphere at our favorite Italian restaurant in town- so decided to only pick up dessert here and have in our cottage. As their name reads- it's every bit of that with a large gravel parking lot swinging on either side(?) of the restaurant and large canopy area for even more COVID outdoor or inclement weather seating. That 'roadside' theme carries on inside with 'garage doors', food served on metal trays and my girl wearing light blue/white stripe, train conductor overalls. And there's more seating inside with a fantastic looking bar. The $5 Pineapple Tres Leches Shortcake was a generous portion- except it didn't travel well and was all discombobulated by the time we got to our cottage- but a delicious one at best. Take-out area works fast and friendly. Maybe I'm a bit generous with my rating but my dessert was freaking good. I honestly don't mind returning to Dixon for a full meal the next time we stay in town. I mean...if you're going to indulge in comfort food, going big or going home seems a fair creed to live by.

You got an extra star because of the service. Your waiters are very attentive and nice. However, your food is a total disappointment. Brisket was nearly tasteless served with BBQ on the side. The fries were saggy, greezy, and tasteless. Chicken skins were simply disgusting. Very, very sad to see this place deteriorate in less than a year. Last year, we had 2 exceptional experiences. This year, the food is F, the drinks are D, and the service is A-

Pros: - ample indoor and outdoor seating, with lots of heaters - everyone who works there wears masks Cons: - 40 minute wait time for food despite ordering only 3 items :( - food lacked sauce and seasoning - our table and another table next to us agreed - except for the 2 adults at the bar and the cashier (who were nice), everyone else was a teenage server. Our teenage server had 0 interest in checking in on our order or refilling our water. After the 40 minutes of waiting, only with the intervention of the adult did we finally get our order WHAT TO GET: - chopped brisket sandwich. If you still think it's a bit bland, ask the cashier for more sauce on the side. I thought this was 4 stars but my partner though it was worse - dessert: get the pineapple tres leches shortcake WHAT TO SKIP - please do NOT get the pulled pork sandwich. It lacked any seasoning or sauce :(

What a cute local place! Thanks to other Yelpers' reviews, my group of 4 found this place while exploring the area. Loved the deco and vibe of the place. **In a rush? Skip to the end for my tips.** There is outdoor and indoor dining. I saw a lot of people with their dogs in the outdoor dining area. It was a bit cold to eat outside the day I went, but during the warmer weather, I bet it would be awesome to eat in the outdoor area. There was so much to choose from! Here is what we ordered. bbq'd beef brisket - It was okay. Not amazing. grilled market fish - I think it was trout that day and it was delicious! Dixon burger - This was also delicious! side of brussel sprouts - Amazingly delicious! side of roasted baby carrots - Good! side of cornbread - Amazing! It's definitely a cute pitstop to grab food! Tips: -When you come in, there are menus by the entrance for you to review and then you order at the counter. Then, they give you a number and you wait at a table. And, someone will bring your food to you.

Brand new, beautiful space. Overall, a great concept and fun experience. Still seem to be working out the execution a bit but everyone was super friendly. Order at the counter and sit anywhere. Lots of fun food and drink options. Food comes out at its own pace and we all got our food at very different times. Look forward to trying again next time we're in town!

A thoroughly mediocre experience. We had high hopes for this place especially when we realized the owners of the uniformly excellent Phoenicia Diner were behind it. There was nothing terrible about the food per se, but nothing rose above average. The mashed potatoes were dense, dry and not particularly flavorful. The fried chicken was adequate, but the smoked chicken tacos were bland and completely unremarkable. The best thing we had was the fish, which was cooked perfectly; however no one other than a chef, a fisherman or a fishmonger is gonna know that Steelhead Trout isn't trout but basically just salmon, which is fine if you wanted and were expecting salmon -- which none of us were. A little clarification when we were ordering would have cleared that up quickly and easily. The only other thing that was just bizarre was how put out the server who brought us our water acted when we asked for another bottle of water. She rolled her eyes...over an extra bottle of tap water. Moments later, when she kicked our request down to a busboy, I could hear her say, "can you bring another bottle of water to this table? I just brought a bottle over and they're already asking for another." I realize restaurant staff is stretched thin these days but...I was just asking for a bottle of water. A giant "meh," for this place. A real disappointment.

We ordered takeout from here after seeing it on several "best of" lists online. I'm not sure how this would have made it onto such a list. This may be what passes for barbecue in New York, but anyone who has been below the Mason Dixon line will not recognize it as anything akin to barbecue. The fried chicken was soggy and underseasoned. The carrots had no flavor at all. Possibly they were boiled rather than roasted? Which is simply the wrong way to cook carrots if you want them to taste of anything. The cornbread was fine. It was basically indistinguishable from Costco cornbread, which tastes good and costs $5, not $20. Really the only thing we got that was worth buying was the buttermilk pie, about which I have no complaints. Everything else was overpriced and underwhelming.

Super dog friendly, delicious food and amazing staff. Ate here for lunch today with our giant dog. We ate on the patio. It was cold but the heaters helped. Our dog had the burger (they make custom Burgers for the canines that contain no spices ). We had the chicken pailard with salad and coleslaw and the chicken bowl. Everything was great.

Excellent service, such a relaxing dinner - great for families and such a relaxed place. Fried chicken oh so crispy, mashed potatoes are absolutely delicious. Dipping sauce had a nice kick to it and I liked that it was bit a very thick sauce to not take away from the boneless fried chicken. Braised very well. Apple slaw was ok - but bonus points for being vinegar based. We ordered the special - duck tacos and those were absolutely delicious. I paired with the peach hot sauce on the table (loved this too) They didn't have a stout but all the beer selections were great and complimented the food well. Cocktails look nice. The ice cream is made in house. They have vanilla, chocolate and swirl. We ordered the bread pudding and this was very tasty. However, less of a bread pudding in my mind and more of a German cake with blueberries. Still absolutely delicious. It was not dry at all but different than I expected.

So good we ate here twice! On our first night in Woodstock we picked up takeout due to a long trip. The ordering process on the website was seamless and food was ready on time. We both had the chicken sandwiches and loved them. The chicken was perfectly crispy and the slaw was cool and crunchy- maybe my favorite part! On our second night, after being disappointed by another restaurant's out of stock items, we headed back to the tried and true Dixon. This time we ate inside. The vibes were great and the porch is awesome, but it was cold and we had our baby with us so we opted for inside. You order at the counter and then seat yourself; this was troublesome for some bigger parties since it was pretty full. We ordered the burger and the Mac and cheese and both were excellent. In fact, I would say the Mac was some of the best I've ever had. Great texture with the bread crumbs, not too cheesy, and a perfect portion. We also loved that you can choose from a nice list of sides. We tried the fries, mashed potatoes, corn bread, and corn; the corn was our least favorite, but it was really flavorful. Hopefully you can tell that we HIGHLY recommend dropping by Dixon. I'm sure we'll be back!

To Shama D. We did ask numerous times where the food was. I went to the counter three times. No staff seemed to care. Once we finally received the lame undercooked food we no longer saw any staff members. Why would I expect anything different or better at that point? Why would I have waited another half hour for an inedible replacement burger? You should offer me a full refund instead of blaming me for my inaction.

Wow. We got takeout tonight from Dixson Roadside and I already can't wait to go back. I got the baked mac'n cheese with a side of pulled pork, my husband got the fried boneless chicken. We got fun cocktails too-- I got the Glenford Gimlet (So Yum!) and my hubs got a Catskill brewery beer. Everything was SO DELICIOUS! What a WIN! Thank you

This was great in some respects -- we really loved the fried chicken, brussels, and beans especially. The brisket was good but I'd probably skip it next time in favor of the chicken, and my wife actually wasn't crazy about the mashed potatoes. The mac & cheese, biscuits, cornbread, fries, and pulled pork were all very good as well.

Love Dixon for dinner or take out. I'm the most impressed with the staff Gianna, Eva and Cecilia in particular are always friendly and on top of it. The steelhead trout and chicken are menu highlights but I'm always wishing there were more vegetable side options.

I was really surprised with how poor the food was. The place is beautiful. Really catches your eye from the road. Bright, open, modern and clean. We were greeted with "hello ladies" when my bf and I walked in. Kinda weird-but ok. Got a crispy chicken sandwich. The chicken was greasy, mostly batter, and not well seasoned or crispy. The fries were not edible. Dry, flavorless, hard, and basically the antithesis of everything that makes French fries good. They also were lukewarm. The limeade was sugar water with no lime flavor at all. The meal was really disappointing. We definitely won't be back.

We had passed a crowded Dixon's for a few months and decided to give it a try. My first sign of a problem was the serving system. When I saw those numbers on stands on the tables, I should have gotten the hint. Then ordering...the young man was very friendly and knew what he was doing. The wall with the menu on it didn't have much of a description but I opted for the boneless fried chicken with slaw and house fries and my husband had the haddock with slaw, carrots & house fries. We also both ordered cherry vanilla soda. Next: Went to use the "ladies" room (they must be unisex...no problem with me) and as soon as I walked in, the urine smell was overpowering. There was urine on the floor around the toilet. I double-coated the seat with toilet paper and tried my best not to touch it. Gross. Returned to our table to find "soda" in plastic cups over ice. No. Sorry. That was NOT soda. It was watered down, maraschino cherry juice with absolutely no fizz whatsoever. Okay. Maybe the food will be worth it. Wrong again. My "boneless fried chicken" was obviously double (or triple) fried....seemed to be left over and refried. The pieces on the tray (seriously, no dishes?) were big....until I cut into the fried (very dark brown) coating. The boneless chicken was a boneless thigh, about a 1/2 inch thick, COVERED in paprika. There was seriously almost an inch of space between the chicken itself and the coating. I don't know how they did that!! The chicken was dry and hard to cut. Inedible. But I was starving and had the lesser-of-the-two-evils piece. I tasted the coating once and once only. Hard, over-fried....inedible. Seriously, the piece of chicken was half the size of my palm and flat, dry, and overspiced with paprika. No need for that much paprika on ANYTHING. The house cut fries. Good but COVERED, again, in paprika. I have a sensitive stomach and could not eat them. Way too much. Again, no need for that at all on fries. The menu board behind the cash register did not mention all of this PAPRIKA! The slaw was, meh, probably the best thing on the tray....but far from the best slaw I've ever had. Now, my husband, on the other hand, enjoyed the haddock. Not the fries, not the slaw, not the soda, not the carrots as they were hard and very undercooked...not even steamed enough if that's how they were prepared. Far from "al dente:....just hard. He only enjoyed the haddock. We ditched our trip to Woodstock as I began to have pains in my stomach after we left from, I'm going to assume, the paprika I managed to eat. The next morning was worse. Of my 68 (almost 69) years on Earth, this is in the top 5 of the worst restaurants I've ever visited. Too bad....it looks like it has potential but a lot needs to be fixed. We won't be back. Too many excellent options in Woodstock. In case anyone cares...I-Hop in Brooklyn in 1976 was THE worst. LOL. Dang, I hate leaving bad reviews. It makes me sad.

The place was modern up to date clean and beautiful 10/10 . The food was great. 7/10 .I would recommend the chicken and waffles. The brisket was a little dry. If I were in the area I might come back.

We stopped at Dixon to enjoy outdoor dining on their beautiful patio with our dog. This restaurant is so cute and fun!! The food was all around pretty good- the steak fries were a favorite by far! Some of the meats needed better seasoning, especially the pulled pork. The brisket sandwich was massive!! We also enjoyed their cocktails and nice selection of draft and canned beers.

We had a lovely dinner here. I love the fact that even when you're sitting inside, you feel like you're outside because of the huge open garage doors. We went with the potato wedges, fried chicken sandwich, mac & cheese with fried chicken on the side, cornbread muffin and slaw. We LOVED the bbq sauce and everything we ate was fabulous and tasty. We had tons of leftovers and they heated up super well. Great service and amazing food!

My hubs had the boneless fried chicken and two sides and I had the Mac n cheese covered with pulled pork and two sides. Portions are generous. Food quality gets a yum and we went back a second time. Omg the chicken comes with this spicy honey.....sooo good! Chicken is melt in your mouth tender. Highly recommend getting food here. Sorry should have taken photos. Go and see for yourself.

The worst chicken wings I've ever eaten in my life. No seasoning at all. The wings looked sickly; barely any meat on the wings. I'm not sure how you can make chicken taste like dog but good job Dixon because I'll need a serious break from chicken thanks to the disgusting experience I had at this restaurant. Note: no pictures because I immediately throw them away.

I went to the Dixon after my long isolation with Covid. It was a treat to be on the patio and eat the delicious fried chicken cutlets and a great side salad and Mule Mocktail. I will definitely go back to the nice and friendly service.

There was enough pulled pork on my sandwich for me and a couple others. Wow. Oh and it was delicious too. I went here because of the Phoenicia Diner and I'll be back because the food is delicious. This was my first time having buttermilk pie and now I want to marry one.

This place has such an amazing ambience, if I were to build a house, I would ask to borrow the blueprints. They have a big outdoor seating area under a roof overhang with outdoor heaters to keep you toasty despite the cold. The burger was the winner tonight with an amazing combination of the crunchiest fried onions in the burger that balanced the patty. The green tomato-jalapeño relish also gave the burger so much flavor that I imagine my tongue will be dreaming about it tonight. Will definitely order this again if I ever return. The market fish was also cooked to perfection with the edges just turning crispy while the fish itself was tender and moist. The olive oil and fresh cracked pepper gave the dish so much character, it could have been the lead in Free Willy 2. Still, it wasn't so overpowering that you couldn't taste the fish. The carrots I had on the side were also as tender as one could expect. I would ask for the kimchi mayo that typically comes with the crispy chicken sandwich; but it was an amazing condiment. Wish they sold it in packets! Solid recommend.

Hit the spot for sure but was a little underwhelmed with the brisket. Very tender but not much else going for it. It was also quite cold when it came out.

Food is OK (buy that's just me, my wife likes it), very pricy $100.00 for 2 people is well overboard. As I looked at my bill when we got home I noticed they charged me $3.00 for 1 SELTZER, are you kidding? With what your charging for food that should be free, what's next charging for water?

Overall a cute restaurant with a nice trendy aesthetic. I do have to say the service could have been better. Some members of my party were missing drinks or asked for water and were forgotten about. The food was okay. I did feel it was missing something but it was presented nicely.

Great costumer service , friendly staff, good food. I had Ancho smoked squash and loved it ! Burger looked great as well. The atmosphere is casual, pleasant with outdoor/ indoor options, smell of the fresh pine trees from across the toad could be felt . Good for families, casual dinning

We came here for the first time Saturday and liked it so much, we returned on Sunday with the family. The food was great! I had the meatloaf sandwich and mashed potatoes - it was a nice twist on an old classic and so yummy! My husband had the chicken entree and absolutely loved it! The barley salad and sweet potato sides were perfect, and the sangria was so good! We loved the atmosphere and the staff was super nice and attentive! Definitely a new go-to place for us!!!
