Sachse Ice House

I had my birthday party there tonight. Couldn’t have asked for better service and atmosphere! Every time I go in, it’s a great experience! Highly recommend trying their burgers and wings! The staff goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome! Kelli and Patsy were awesome in taking care of my party! We will definitely be back again and again!

Sachse Ice House is an okay spot overall. The vibe is decent and the drinks are priced fairly, but nothing really stood out enough to make it great. Service was fine — not bad, just a little slow at times. The atmosphere is casual and relaxed, which is nice, but the place could use a bit more energy or attention to detail to make it feel more inviting. It’s not a bad place to stop in for a quick drink, but it’s also not something I’d go out of my way for. Solid middle-of-the-road experience. ⸻

The Catfish was amazing.... I will be going back for just the Tar Tar sauce. They also have a good set up for Darts, which is how we ended up there in the first place. I really want more catfish right now.

If you’re stopping by Sachse Ice House and don’t sit at Kelly’s bar, you’re missing half the experience. From the moment you walk in, Kelly brings a level of energy, kindness, and genuine hospitality that completely transforms the vibe. She’s the kind of bartender who remembers your name, your drink, and probably the crazy story you told her two weekends ago. Fast, friendly, and sharp as hell, she somehow manages to keep the bar running smoothly and still make every guest feel like the only one in the room. She’s got that rare blend of professionalism and personality — whether you’re there for a chill happy hour, a wild game night, or just passing through, Kelly is the reason you’ll want to come back. And let’s be real: the drinks somehow taste better when she makes them. Massive shoutout to Kelly — a true gem behind the bar and one of the best parts of Sachse Ice House.

We searched high and low for a place to eat and have drinks on a Thursday night. Was staying in Garland but Google brought us here. The service was cool, the atmosphere was ok. I love that you could order all flats on your wing order. Drinks affordable. I would visit again.

Kelly took excellent care of me this evening...as a single female out solo I felt safe and welcomed, the folks here made sure I got to my Uber and that I was cared for. I was welcomed into the bar with warmth and true Texas hospitality. 10/10 I highly recommend the sachse ice house! Kelly is top tier!

Even 4 times now. Always a great staff, great food and atmosphere/customers. Love the Cowboys swag all around too!! Will be a regular soon!

Typical dive bar. Smells kinda bad. A little dirty, could use an update and some music or something. Really dead in there. Good place to get a cheap beer on the way home though. Just wouldn’t wanna hang out too long.

Pretty solid for the night shift for a post drink. They have drink specials all week, and prices are good. Kitchen is open late at night which is a bonus too. They only had one server and one bartender on a packed Saturday, so it was a struggle for our orders to come out. Our group went out to chill outside for a bit, and the security guard took my jacket when he saw us sitting outside for a second. Pretty chill overall

Eat there often. Great food, great bartenders. Allot of good specials. Karaoke on Friday

Best burger in Sachse and the service is spot on! Wings are good too! Been our favorite bar for years

Outstanding burger and tots. Service was attentive and friendly. Will be in my regular places to enjoy.

Went here with my mom and dad quite a few years ago and the food was really good! Very friendly staff and overall a great atmosphere. Would definitely recommend this place for a nice late night meal!

Had the chicken wings, fried jalapenos and bison burger with onion rings and fires. Service was real good and the food quality outstanding It's a little hole off the wall , they have pool tables , darts and just a good vibe. Pleasantly surprised!

I got the fried fish and the hamburger with the fried okra and the sweet potato fries the fish was delicious but the okra and sweet potato fries were burnt and didn't taste good. I am not sure if maybe this was a new cook or a bad day, for that reason I will give them one more try

Let's start with service. Holly was the bartender/waitress/foodrunner in the place so once I kmlearned that I expected service to be a little slow. Boy was I wrong. She hustled all over that place and took care if everyone including me! Now the food. I tried the burger with onion rings and the burger was cooked right and tasted great. The onion rings gs were fresh, hot, and delicious as well! I'll definitely be back to try some other food and drink specials! Keep up the excellent work!

Just freakin awesome staff, food and atmosphere! Very laid back and Pub Poll on Thursday nights is a blast!!!

Ok so perhaps my review isn't AS fair as it could be... the appetizers are 1/2 off after 10pm and the drinks are strong and cheap. The appetizers were really good too. But their DJ on Saturday night?? Immediately no! The music choices were depressing especially for a Saturday night Memorial Day weekend! And then he was doing karaoke like his life depended on it. And then he sang a dirty version of summer nights. That's where I headed out...

Cool little spot to grab cheap drinks, shoot pool or listen to music. Not for nothing but they have wayyy better wings than you'd expect.

Honestly, the food and service was great. But the Saturday night DJ is the worst DJ I have ever seen in my entire life and after looking at reviews it looks like it hasn't changed after a year. A mashup mix of slow country mixed with rap which would only make fans of either of those genres irritated upon listening and at such a loud volume there was no way to hold a conversation. Then after announcing he was bored he decided to sing slow country ballads to us. A lady did us all a solid and went over and turned down the speaker when he walked away. He drove several tables away that would've been there longer had it been slightly tolerable because literally everything but him was fine but he was so bad and overwhelming that he brought the entire place down.

Good food, cold beer and sports on the multiple TV's thru out the bar. Good selection of beer and mixed drinks. Bartenders are friendly and always smiling.

Of of the best places for fried catifsh and great drink/food specials. Friendly wait staff. Kitchen can be slow at times but overall, a great place to hangout.

My boyfriend and I went last night to check it out (our first visit). We really liked the vibe. Played a couple of games of pool and enjoyed drinks and eats. We will be back!

Good dart boards, basic menu, atmosphere is cool. Bartender service is hit or miss but mostly miss.

Food is the BEST, service is the BEST with always a variety of events taking place daily. Great priced beverages poured to perfection as well as customer service always on point. When I arrive, each bartender remembers my preferences including how I prefer each of the amazing burgers, chicken sandwiches and serves me promptly making me feel like a true VIP! Always having drink specials & food promos available daily!! Plus plus plus!!!! pure Yumminess. Excellent music, DJ & Kareoke most nights of the week..Come and check this place out, it's sooo worth it!!!!! KK

We were in town for a wedding and decided to check this place out because it was right down the street from where we were staying and I have to say that we were so glad we came in! We got to meet Scot and Rebecca who own the place and they were so awesome! Came on Thursday night and They had us try the catfish and taco and it was the best fried catfish I have ever tasted! Next time we are in the area we will be coming back. I didn't expect the food to be so good but it was absolutely amazing! The staff was so friendly and it felt like such a family friendly place and we loved it!

My wife and I visited this past Wednesday for the all you can eat fried catfish after being referred by a friend. We had gone in about 4:00ish to beat any crowds. At that time, one bartender (AJ) was really hustling and kept up with everyone inside (too damn hot to eat outside). Beer was ice cold and catfish was delicious. Would recommend to anyone and actually had plans to go back this Wednesday but gkids come first. Will visit again, real soon! You should too.

The service was good. The beverages were cold and it was not crowded. The mixed drinks were ok... The margarita was a little to much like limeade. The draft beer was great. Our server was on her game and kept checking on our table.

I went there awhile back as I was working in the area that day. Ordered their lemon pepper wings. They have a nice vibe, and pretty good food.

My wife and I stopped in for a nighr cap after a dinnet from down town Dallas. And rhe bartenders first comment to us was " have yall been drinking tonight" umm no we just came from dinner. She said we look like we have been drinking. Mind you we are dressed to the nines and both had one glass of wine. We just left because that was incredibly rude and they can't have my money!!! Never go there again!!!

I e been coming here for the past three years and we love the staff and the regular's. The people are fun and they have wonderful hamburgers. I'm a big fan!!

Burgers and catfish are always good! But they have a newly expanded menu now and offer daily specials as well. Texas craft beers on tap. We aways get great service too! We love Hannah!

Great Sachse/Murphy neighborhood bar. I didn't expect much when we stopped in but I had a goodnight. The lady bar tender is fun and accommodating even though it looks like that she's the only one running the bar the whole night. This will be in our rotation list.

I tried Sachse Ice House after purchasing a Groupon. We decided to go on half priced burger night. My husband and I ordered burgers with regular fries and sweet potato fries, an order of wings and a couple of cocktails. The food was surprisingly good for a bar. Space can be pretty tight as there is only bar seating unless you're playing poker which seats 6-8 people per table. Parking can also be a pain with the small lot. Although we visited on half priced burger night, we could not use our groupon and the special together...not a deal breaker as burgers are $7-$9 depending on which size ordered. We will visit again.

Being new to the area, I'm always looking for my go to spot. I really wanted to like this place and I did like it. Just didn't love it. They have a nice little selection of craft beers that I enjoyed. My biggest knock was that the food was rather bland. The waffle cut fries were the same thing I can get at the grocery store and came out just warm. The bison patty needed some seasoning of some sort. I'm very salt adverse and ended up salting the patty. Overall good experience with friendly staff. I'll probably go back, but just for a unique beer.

Love my neighbor hood bar, but please don't change cook! Went in today for my burger and was disappointed as regular cook was not there! Cooks, wait staff, chefs can make or break a joint!! Still great local bar, but so many places wanting my patronage, important for owners to know people make their business...invest in them!

Ive been coming to this location for about a yr. I usually come after 9 when i get off but i also come on my day off during the day. If you like smoking you can go out to the patio and you will get served. They have a good jukebox and music can vary. Its a small place so you better know somebody on busy nights to get a seat. Menu is fair. Catfish is by far the best thing on the menu. Wings and bugers and fries can vary on the cook. I usually pay 20% or more (tip out) but for the past month the bartenders have been mean or or non attending. You woukd think after coming here for over 14 months they just now know my name. Its a good little place bartender/server paul has always been friendly. But he only works fridays. Treat your server well or you can and will be ignored. They have bikers here but they are mostly good people. My biggest complaint is the bar service. Dont get on thier bad side.

Worst experience today at my fav hangout. Friendly banter between a customer that was rooting against the SAINTS today turned into personal threats and verbal insults. All while I am dining with my son. This is not acceptable and not family friendly. I mentioned this to the waitress helping out only to realize she was hanging with the peeps harassing me. Also i was double charged 3 weeks ago and i still cannot get anyone from management to correct the issue. i will have to address this with the credit card company. Talking with friends I know who go here have had the same issue with no resolution! One guy was even banned because he tried to get the double charge addressed. And thrown out! Without resolution I am done with the ice house.

The beer's cold and there's no funky smells. It's a good dive bar, probably the best one off 78 if you're just looking to watch the game and catch up with friends. The food is subpar but then it's not much of an issue. The nachos are about what you'd make at home with kraft shredded cheese and leftover tortilla strips. Service is good, but a bit slow, usually one person working the bar.

The Ice House had their Halloween costume party last night. I showed up in my Big Bird costume. If only they a panel of judges I might have taken first. Contest was based on applause and a beautiful cat lady unzipped her leather top to expose some cleavage and the crowd clapped and shouted loudly. Cleavage vs Creativity. Overall, the Ice House did a fantastic job decorating, they had an awesome dj. Their food is delicious. Ithe chicken wings & burgers. Had a great time & took 2nd place. Wished I took pictures of their decorations to show ya.

I'm very happy to say that I really enjoyed this place from the workers to the booze. I will most definitely come here again got would be nice to be a regular here especially living so close.

Glad to see a new place in the area but I think I will give it a few more weeks and try it again. The Bison Burger was actually good and the hot chicken wings were too but most of that was overshadowed by the slow service. There was 1 person tending bar and waiting tables, not good. I can see me going back because the beer menu looked good and there were enough TV's to make it a good option to watch football.

Checked Yelp for Catfish near me and found Sachse Icehouse highly rated. I have driven by this place many times, and have friends who hang there, but from the outside it has just not seemed to appeal to me. Man was I missing out! The Catfish here is about the best I have ever had! You get two very good sized fillets, a side if either fries, onion rings, tots, and perhaps other choices, and a nice portion of coleslaw for just under ten bucks. I've been back 3-4 times since my first visit a couple of weeks ago. Looks like they have about 15 different beers on tap although I have just gone with the 420 ale so far. Pairs well with the Catfish. Service has also been top notch!

This is a cool little neighborhood bar out in Sachse. First time here and I'll definitely venture out here again!

Back to the Ice House yesterday to hang out on a Saturday with friends and celebrate some birthdays. One bartender / server and one cook. Place was BUSY!! Christy (please forgive if spelled incorrectly!) worked her hiney off and did a GREAT job of taking care of everyone. LOTS of food orders, both in house dining and to go, and they came out as quickly as possible, but they were all done right!! Yet again, catfish and fries were outstanding as was the appetizer plate of spicy fried pickles, crispy potato skins and mozzarella sticks. Burger was really good as well. Everyone was pleased!! I almost hate telling everyone what a great place this is for fear of it getting tooooo popular!! Thanks again for another memorable afternoon of fun, food and beverages!!!

What a local bar SHOULD BE! Close to home... great food... great beverages (beer taps & liquor selection)... great service... (Jody is gorgeous! and an awesome bartender... rare combo).

This place is the GREATEST! Karina was our bartender and she is this kick ass little ninja! We sat near the pool tables and she was always on time when bringing our next refill! All while being behind the bar too! She was always so kind too, even during the crowd rush. If you go here, ask for NINO.

-Such rude staff -Freezing inside -So much like Tipsy Chicken next door and you can read those reviews. Same people -Very uncomfortable atmosphere UNLESS you're one of them or their friends. -Strangers not welcome

Food is ok. Service is terrible. Table was wobbly and waters fell. (We don't drink alcohol). Had to ask for replacement after 15 min and then she forgot. Delivered them with no words. Just try to be apologetic. Noisy because of terrible acoustics. Pool table lights make no sense. The light bulbs have no cover around them. Blinding. Not even worth your time.

The bar is open late and they have amazing tacos here! I love how they have marinated the chicken in the chicken tacos. It's delicious! Drink prices are normal and the environment is good for a kick back.

I don't send this place nearly enough positive feedback for the number of times I eat here...Monday is burger day, Tues. is wings, Wens. is all you can eat of some of the best catfish around, Thurs. is $2 tacos...food AND staff are top notch! Thanks SIH!

Was on tour earlier this month and came to Sachse Ice House for lunch. Drinks were a fantastic price, but the street tacos stole the show. I've had street tacos countless places around the country, but these are pretty high up in my ranks. Next time I'm around the area, I'll definitely be coming back.

Best wings in Sachse if not anywhere. They truly know how to make excellent wings. Their fries are also very good.

I have passed by the Ice House svetal times but nevet stopped until tonight. All you can eat fried catfish. It was excellent and our server, Ashley was reallt friendly and super helpful. The fish is super sized and fried to perfection. We will be back.

The beer is ice cold ... so there's that. Decor and food are exactly like big brother Addison Point - not the cool Addison Point you loved pre-2013; it's like the new Addison Pont, the one your mother hangs out in. The bartender will drop as many references to his cage-fighting experiences as humanly possible. Meh.

My new go-to dive bar. Waitress was very nice and they have a lot of good beer on tap for such a small place. Will return often.

Small space. We went on a Sunday evening for dinner but it wasn't crowded so we got right in. Very small menu so if your looking for a lot of selection this is not the place for you. The food was good, not great, but I've had far worse. The price was right in line with the quality, so a great place if you aren't looking to spend a fortune. It had more of a bar feel to it, so not sure the kids enjoyed the atmosphere as much. May be better suited for adults, but they also liked the food. It was quick and service was good. Not a beer drinker so not sure about that.
