The Katy Trail Ice House Outpost

This was my first time at this location and I really enjoyed it! They have huge fans with misters and everything is shaded, couldn’t even tell it was 90 degrees out! Food and drinks are good and it’s very dog friendly. Prices are a little high for such a casual place but service was good. Highly recommend for a nice hangout on the patio!

Limited menu but best patio dining in Plano. Fun place especially at night with the festive outdoor lights. Large mugs from the freezer make their beers even more refreshing. Venison chili, tasty hamburgers and selection of salads help make this a great pitstop, family get together or group happy hour.

Katy trail is always a good place to relax and chill with friends. Great for groups. Especially when the weather is nice. Cold beer and good bites.

Great patio to hangout on, it almost makes your forget you’re in Plano. The drink are decent and the staff was great. I’ll definitely be returning

Ambience: Very Good;Service: Fair;Taste: Good;You have patio seating as well as a backyard style setting. These usually fill up quickly. The inside is good too.Service on seating is within a couple minutes. This is the only time service was quick. Otherwise you’ll have to keep searching for your waiter. If it’s crowded you are out of luck and you have to wait until the waiter chooses to show up. Service itself was pleasant, just too spaced out. You will be waiting to order a lot of items especially if you are in a group every time after the first round of appetizers.

My find me gluten free review:How confident are you that this establishment takes safety precautions against cross-contamination?— Not at all confidentOn Safety: I talked to the manager and they do not have any way to protect against cross contamination.How much of the menu is available gluten-free?— Not MuchOn Quality & Quantity: The manager said all of the gluten free items will likely be cross contaminated due to not having any dedicated gluten free cooking spaces. So this is probably okay for someone who wants to eat gluten free but not someone who is extremely sensitive or is Celiac like me. Comment: The manager was very knowledgeable about why it wouldn’t work for me to eat there. So I guess that was helpful. I’d rather that than take a chance and be sick and be sick for 7 days+. However, I wish there was a way to eat there as I may have an obligatory dinner coming up. They also do not have a microwave so I cannot bring my own food and heat it up.

Eating, Drinking and (smoking) the Texans way. Love it

I come for the drinks and atmosphere. The food is okay, you'll find better food (whether you are looking for BBQ or burgers) at other places. But the back has an incredible canopy of trees that shade it, there are heaters for cooler times that keep it cozy and it's kid and dog friendly. So we come still. If the food was outstanding, I doubt we would ever get a table in the back so maybe it's a good thing it's just okay food.

Our first time here and we had a good time, great atmosphere and vibe! We had the loaded fries, the beer-ritas, and ofcourse beer! The servers were very fast and kind, had the food out very fast as well! I will def will be coming back, at night and when its warmer!! Good place to hang out, only wish they had games to play!!

I went here only expecting to get some BBQ, but was unexpectedly very impressed with everything. It was a hot evening and had dinner in the beer garden, but it was very comfortable with the fans strategically placed. The brisket and tacos with fajita beef were so good. Good selection of local beer, Buffalo Butt being my favorite. Also, the staff was very quick and everyone was friendly. I will definitely be back!
