Ronnie's Ice House Barbeque

Visited with the owner, Ronnie, and toured his pit area; then, tried the Q. These are very nice compatriots who served generous portions of good grill in an untouched dining room. The brisket is boiled directly over oak charcoal (big trunks that are burned to calcined coals), which are shoved more frequently in western Texas. The brisket has a good smoke taste; but it could use additional spices. I added salt and pepper at the table. Also, Brisket is not very delicate.... They don't wrap the briskets very long in foil. If she was wound and cooked for a few hours, it would be more delicate. The sausage is excellent. The pinto beans are very good. The potato salad is creamy and very good. They do not make the potato salad in the house, but they buy high quality potato salad from their supplier. Barbecue sauce is very sweet and better suited for pork. They make the sauce and it tastes good. Did not try the chicken, ribs or turkey, but they were on the cutting board and saw tasty. They close when the food goes out, what I was told, often happens. No complaints here. Try when in the area. Have fun!

Really good barbecue nice ambiance in the restaurant too. Been a long day it was mid-afternoon and I was stopping through Johnson City wanted something quick to grab. A lot of great reviews are accurately descriptive of this place. No frills no nonsense just good barbecue. The staff was very nice I tried a quarter of barbecue chicken along with the sliced beef sandwich and potato salad. The brisket was really thick cut and extra moist one of the best sliced beef sandwiches I've had. The chicken had a great smoky flavor nice and juicy meat and not been dried out. The potato salad in my opinion could use a little bit more egg but that's a personal preference it was really good as well. Will absolutely stop there again

I wanted barbecue on my way out of town and this couldn’t have been a more perfect place! Very friendly and helpful staff. Ordered a 2 meat plate with moist brisket and turkey, along with green beans and cucumbers and tomatoes. Absolutely incredible food!! Delicious brisket, tender and juicy. Beautifully smoked turkey. Would definitely come back here if ever in the area!

Great authentic Texas BBQ. We have tried the combo plates with brisket and pork ribs. The brisket was juicy and melting and the pork ribs had a great taste. As far as the side dishes we really liked the corn. Great atmosphere and Ronnie seemed to be a great person. We will definitely be back.

Good stuff. Your BBQ cannot be the healthiest, but it is very tasty and I will be back again (two times already). The sausage is delicious, good moist brisket and potato salad and the beans are also good. No 5-star food here with plastic forks, but you will not go hungry or regret your choice!
