Phils Ice House

"We love going to Phil's! Nearly every time my family comes to town, we go to Phil's for lunch. It's dog-friendly with plenty of picnic tables outside (there is also indoor seating). I always get a veggie burger with cheese and mushrooms, and mixed fries (they put the regular fries and sweet potato fries in the same basket, so they do touch but are not all mixed up). It's never disappointed! My dad loves the violet crown burger and is always excited to go to Phil's and get it. You order at a counter inside, then go get your food from the counter when they call out your order is ready. Wait is not too long, especially with the nice atmosphere and playground area for kids to play. My dog loves going to Phil's too because she can sit with us while we eat, and sometimes gets petted by kids (which she loves). Staff are friendly and usually offer water for my dog too."

"Large choice of burgers and sandwiches that can be customized to your taste. Also share the seating area with Amy’s Ice Cream."

"We always make a point to stop at Phil's for a burger when we are in town. They have a large selection of burgers and are happy to swap out a beef patty for turkey. The burgers are never dry when cooked well done. The bun on the Travis Heights burger was a bit sweet which balanced out the savory flavors of the mushrooms and onions well. I appreciate being able to order half regular fries and half sweet potatoes for no extra cost. The batter on the onion rings was delicious. Until next time!"

"In from Houston wanted Ice cream & burger. We hit the jackpot! This small old service station is one of the unique places that makes Austin, Austin. The burgers are all homemade with unique Austin names with a wide variety of toppings. Any burger can be made to a mini burger, you can try several of the unique burgers with fries. They have regular and sweet potato fries. They also serve beer. The dining area is actually the garage area. The bathrooms still have the “bathroom service lights” from the original station. Small dining area about 10 booths. There is a door that connects to the Amy’s Ice cream next door. Phil & Amy did great with this place ! The outside shared area has a great playground for the kids with patio and sitting area to sit and enjoy a burger , drink and ice cream in a great little neighborhood of Austin. See review of Amy’s Ice Cream. Prices are reasonable and foid was great!"

"Any place that can put an egg on my burger automatically deserves a 5 star from me! Their burgers were so good and a pretty good size considering the price! They're put on these delicious sourdough buns, and the patties are not too thick, which I really appreciate (I dislike thick patties very much!) The service was very top-notch as well! Literally, the only complaint I had was that their drink cups were a bit small, so we had to refill them more frequently. But seriously, who cares when the food is so delicious! Thank you, everyone at Phil's, for a satisfyingly tasty meal!"
