Tex-Mex & American eats: fried chicken, tacos, po' boys & bourbon lemonade
"In 2011, Texas-born Nick Hodge set out to carve out space for a tiny Tex-Mex restaurant in the Plateau, and the result was immediately satisfying. Fans of American fare would do well to try Ice House’s bucket of fried chicken (some of Montreal’s best), Dr. Pepper pork ribs, and oyster or shrimp po’ boy. Whatever you pick, be sure to accompany it with a Bourbon lemonade." - Joel Balsam
"Among the many cravings Nick Hodge aims to satisfy with this Tex-Mex spot in the Plateau, fried chicken tends to top the list. Served unapologetically on freshly laid greaseproof paper placed across the table, guests are invited to simply dig in. If you ask nicely, they’ll throw it into a burrito for you." - JP Karwacki
"This Plateau fixture is celebrated for its mouthwatering fried chicken and various Tex-Mex staples, including refried black bean burritos and hard-shell ground beef tacos. It also offers up some barbecue faves. There’s a mustardy smoked brisket sandwich, some Dr. Pepper-slathered pork ribs, and pulled pork given the Tex-Mex treatment: It’s joined with pimento cheese and salsa roja in a bun." - Valerie Silva
"Icehouse is Montreal’s Tex-Mex destination, with Chef Nick Hodge’s Lone Star state roots reflected in the décor and the food. The fried chicken taco with ranch dressing is unlike any other in the city, and the “old school” taco, a crisp shell packed with beef, cheddar, and iceberg lettuce, is another winner." - Eater Staff
"Take your pick from any number of Tex-Mex and southern classics at this side-street Plateau nook. That includes tacos, burritos, fried chicken, po’ boys, and seven-layer dip. The bourbon lemonade is also a must." - Daniel Bromberg
