Phil's Icehouse

We're not from Austin but were here on vaca and decided to stop at Phil's after going to the vintage shop across the street. The burgers are big and everything was delicious. The buns are buttery and fluffy and holds the burger well. We all got burgers with the mixed basket. They also have a cute ice cream shop in the same building but we were all too full. Highly recommend coming here for a great burger.

As a burger connoisseur I've tried many across the globe and Phil's remains and tried and true favorite! Maybe it's the sourdough buns, or fast service, or the dog friendly patio? Not sure but this burger feels like home and I love coming back!

Great burgers, I love all the fun varieties. I got the violet crown which was a nice balance of blue cheese and grilled onions with my veggie patty. Only weird thing was my bottom bun felt and tasted super doughy like it was uncooked. Top bun was fine, which was weird.I like the mike of fries you can get too.

This location is inside Amy's ice cream but the partnership is a match made in heaven. Who doesn't want a great burger and ice cream Great service and they are super fast. My co-workers recommended this place so I slid in there solo just to have my own natural reaction untainted. So many options on burgers and you can get a mixture of regular and sweet potato fries. That's when i knew it was a good time waiting for me.I ordered the Brentwood cuz I like a little piggy with my cow. This burger was juicy, flavorful and all mine without sharing. I couldn't finish the entire meal, that's how generous of the portions are. Great sit down dine vibe and a playground for the kiddos if they come with you. Treat yourself

Phil's Icehouse is probably the first burger place I've ever been to that does all their buns with sourdough, and I think that's a fantastic idea! We came in on a late Friday night, service was quick and friendly. The burgers were so juicy and flavorful with all the fresh ingredients they have to offer. But what stood out was the flavor profile here, the sourdough buns were a great combination to their toppings. They had a nice sweet savory flavor that was simply addicting, it's difficult to explain, but definitely a must try. Another thing that's unique about this place is that they offer a burger flight, great for not having to dedicate yourself to a single burger, and instead you get to try a variety!

My family decided to order and pick up Phil's Ice House for dinner. My husband placed the order online. He was given an approximate pickup up time for when the order would be ready. We went to pick it up. It was very visible from the road. We found parking and my husband went in to pick up our order. It was quick. I'm not sure about the ambiance as I didn't go inside. I ordered the 78750 which is a burger with Swiss cheese, fried onion rings and bacon on top of mayo, lettuce, and tomato on a sourdough bun. I changed it a little by switching the meat to chicken, removing the cheese, adding avocado, and a chipotle mayo instead of regular mayo on a wheat bun. They got my order correct, the chicken was tender and you could taste the grilled flavor, the fried onion rings were kind of soggy because of all the ingredients, the bacon was tasty, the avocado, tomato, and lettuce could have been fresher, and the chipotle mayo added a little flavor but not much. I really liked the grilled flavor of the chicken and the bacon. As a side I ordered the half onion rings and half fries. The onion rings were very battered, semi crispy, and salty but they were good. The fries were thick and semi crispy. Both tasted decent with ketchup. Overall it was a good experience and an easy quick way to order and pick up tasty burgers or chicken sandwiches.

Cleanliness and service have gone down since the last time I came four years ago. My allergies were so bad inside the restaurant that I had to eat outside in the cold. I'm allergic to dust. The cashier got my order wrong and wanted to charge me a second transaction until I protested his absent mindedness. I specifically told him the first time that I wanted a gluten-free burger. I double-checked with him while they were cooking my order, and he said no and tried to blame it on me. Absolutely not! If I had gotten into gluten, I would have had the runs. Then he tried to charge me $1.50 for the gluten-free bun, which he had forgotten until I got fed up and said I wanted to cancel the entire order for a refund due to his mistake. He relented and didn't charge a second transaction. Then he said, "I forgot to ask if you wanted it for here or to go." I responded, "You didn't forgot, and I already told you it's for here." I regret tipping 15% to a forgetful cashier. Plus, the burger was average at best. I'm not coming back here again. This restaurant is on the decline.

Onion rings and sweet potato fries were very good. Burgers were ok. Couple good beer options. Fries were ok. Amys ice cream in same building was convenient along with play are for kids on a busy Austin night.

Phil's Ice House serves up consistently good burgers with crisp lettuce, fresh tomatoes, and just about anything else you want. Service is efficient,4 stars because our order was all wrong! Fries vs onion rings, sauce, pickles, a number of items were wrong with each of our 4 orders!

Burgers are bomb.com! The onion rings and fries are delicious. Great service, very nice people. I highly recommend coming here. Plus there's a playground for the kids. I'll definitely come back!
