Forney Icehouse

The staff here is extremely friendly, and the bar is surprisingly clean for a dive. It definitely has a local vibe, with regulars making up most of the clientele. The burger and wings were tasty, but the service was slower than anticipated, especially considering there were only two of us and about eight other people at the bar that afternoon. I’m giving it 4 stars mainly because the beer selection is quite limited—only bottles available, with no draft options. Overall, it’s a decent spot to check out.

I've lived in Forney for two years and finally decided to try this place for lunch—I'll never return. The beer was warm, and they were out of almost everything except for Michelob Ultra, Coors Light, and, of course, Bud Light. I ordered the Philly sandwich, which was my only choice since half the menu items were unavailable. It was extremely light on the meat and what little I had was overcooked. I asked for a side salad but got Tater Tots that tasted like burnt fish; clearly their oil hasn’t been changed in weeks. At 1:30 PM, the bartender was taking shots with a customer, which explains the dive-like atmosphere. I can only imagine what the kitchen must be like—they seem to care more about drinking and socializing outside with their friends than serving customers inside. It’s only 1:30 in the afternoon, for goodness' sake!

My friend and I had just finished our drinks when a random staff member approached us, someone we hadn’t seen since we walked in, and asked if we needed another drink. We were actually about to leave and felt a bit rushed, but we declined. He mentioned that he didn’t like it when people were just sitting around without drinks. The waiter who took our orders seemed a bit unsure of himself and took quite a while to return to us. The first time he came back, he had to ask what we had ordered, even though he had written it down. On the other hand, a larger gentleman was very kind to us and even stuck around to chat for a bit. The music was great, and the atmosphere was really laid-back, which was exactly what I was looking for.

Wasn't impressed! ? Just seemed it abit chaotic with no communication between the staff members. Went in on a Friday for a girl's night out with my friends. We arrived around 9:45 pm wanted to order some food have a few drinks and listen to some karaoke. We sat down at the bar and asked the main bartender if they're still serving food and she replied with yes and she gave us a menu. We ordered our drinks which we got really quick and waited for someone to take our food order a second bartender who was apparently a fill in that night told us they're no longer serving food.

Cheating on shots! Half shots to full shots.Food is good! Burgers cooked to order with sides. The ripoff is at the bar. BEWARE!
