What C Sanders doesn't like about Waterloo Ice House:
The service was good as I came at a pretty quiet time and the server was friendly and patient with us as it was our time there. The drinks were creative and very good! Try the Scrooge! The atmosphere looks like a cool place to meet with friends and hang out. The food... Well the food is where this food lacks flavor! As with everything else it has style and looks great! But they didn't seem to season or salt anything... View all feedback. What Eric Howell likes about Waterloo Ice House:
Only place I can watch the game and have a brownie with ice cream like Chilies use to do... I’m a simple dude and been in Austin most of my life. I don’t expect Waterloo to be a 5 Restaurant like some of these food critic reviews. I expect it to be an Authentic Austin joint with good service that’s doesn’t kiss ass but treats you like I would treat you. Like another dude or chick hungry ass hell. That’s what I get a...

Food was great! Our server was very slow and the music was so loud you couldn't hear others at your table.

The restaurant offers creative drinks and a cool atmosphere for hanging out with friends. However, the food lacked flavor due to a lack of seasoning. The hostess on busy mornings could benefit from additional training to improve the waitlist process. Despite these issues, the restaurant serves consistently delicious food, has friendly staff, and offers a comfortable, laid-back atmosphere like an authentic Austin joint. Customers enjoy watching sports and feel like family due to the welcoming staff. The chicken and waffles were highlighted as particularly delicious. Overall, the restaurant is praised for its great food, hippie staff, and vibrant Austin vibe.
