There is arguably no place more cherished by Houstonians than the Ice House (yes, we said “the”—the rest are posers). West Alabama has been around since 1928, when it was an actual business that sold ice before the days of refrigeration. Today, the shack-like structure and its many red picnic tables are a regular gathering space for locals, for casual but special occasions or just a good time catching up with friends. Grab a Lone Star and order from the Tacos Tierra Caliente truck across the street.
