Katy Trail Ice House Outpost

We went here to have brunch because we were staying at a hotel nearby and needed a dog friendly patio that was HEATED. Well, it was beyond my expectations of a heated patio, each table has its own heater and blanket. So perfect!!! This place is always extremely dog friendly which makes me sooo happy. I think their chicken salad sandwich is the best I’ve had and my boyfriend had a burger- he thought it was great and he said the ranch was the best he’s ever had and he’s a crazy ranch guy!

Love the burger <3 The chicken salad sandwich is also really good (recommend asking for toasted bread). Staff is super friendly. Great spot.

Great BBQ!!! Very noisy but to be expected for the time we went on a Friday dinner rush. Got right in - seat yourself - first come first served. We had a party of 8.
I had brisket and ribs which were both flavorful and awesome portions.

A slice of the hill country up here in Plano. I'm actually mad that I've lived here for a year and a half and just visited for the first time today. Kid friendly and dog friendly (outside). I think we'll be spending a lot more time here in the future.

Katy trail ice House is one of my go-to's for a beautiful day to spend on a patio in Plano.

I've been to Katy trail many times over the years, I can't believe I haven't reviewed them before now! My niece and I got together last week and stopped by for some patio time. It was a beautiful day, just a tad chilly, so we sat at a table with a heater.

I was disappointed to see that the wood burning fire pit is there no longer! They do still have the gas fireplace on the patio and ample propane heaters around to enjoy any type of cool weather.

There is a variety of different seating options, from picnic tables to conversational clusters. Plenty of seating outside and on the side of the restaurant. There is a large smoker out front that is usually smoking, as it was the day we went.

We ordered chips and queso, I had had a lunch prior so just nibbled, my niece got the grilled cheese with brisket and french fries. She thoroughly enjoyed her meal, and the chips and queso were good, as always. I ordered a beer which came with a large chilled goblet.

Katy trail has a sizable bar inside where you can sit around the bar and ample seating inside. Got to love the Willie Nelson painting!

Always a great experience and everything I've ever tried on the Katy trail menu has been amazing, from the chili to the burgers. The barbecue is great, servers are friendly. I've never had a bad experience there!

Highly recommend!

Our new Favorite spot for date night/game day! The food was spot on, and they have fried jalapeños (bottle cap) which is my FAVORITE side with beer! Great food selection and a cozy spot! Highly recommend!

Arrive hungry - they do not mess around with portion sizes here! Wonderful staff, wonderful and unique atmosphere. And surprisingly, the canopy of trees and the fans make this about the only backyard that you would want to visit in summer, and the patio heaters are toasty in winter! If only they could add some live music! <3

Favorite place to chill in Plano. Outdoor patio is well equipped with fan misters, fire pits, and heaters...they have all the seasons covered. BBQ is smoked on premises, they make their own sauce, which is perfect!! All their menu items are amazing. Great selection of craft beers and cocktails. Dogs are welcomed!! TVs all over. High five to the KT.

Great place to enjoy with your dog all year long, their patio area has many levels with picnic tables or patio chairs around a smaller table. If it is cold outside you can still enjoy under the patio heaters and blankets are provided. Service was outstanding, the menu isn’t extensive but everything we tried so far was on spot, the nachos with brisket where amazing!

This was my first time at this location and I really enjoyed it! They have huge fans with misters and everything is shaded, couldn’t even tell it was 90 degrees out! Food and drinks are good and it’s very dog friendly. Prices are a little high for such a casual place but service was good. Highly recommend for a nice hangout on the patio!

A great place for a casual night. The food was delicious, specially the loaded cheese fries, the corn chips of the nachos were also so good! The drinks arrived fast so it was a great expericience overall.

I love that we have this here in Plano! Me and my boyfriend would drive to the Katy House in Uptown! The food here is always good and the atmosphere is amazing! Highly recommend for big groups, date nights etc.

Brisket tacos were loaded to the top with brisket, plus came with guac,pico,sour cream and beans. Fried bottle caps(jalapeño slices) with ranch is a great choice. Service was really good!

So tried this place randomly on a Thursday night. Place was hopping. The outside patio area a packed. Luckily I’m more of a sit at the bar girl. The atmosphere was lively a bit noisy but I liked it. I got a good look at outside lots of sitting area dog friendly. The bar is nice lots of seating chairs and booths. The beers rotate a bit so it was fun tasting some new ones I hadn’t heard of. It’s not cheap but it’s worth it. I got brisket quesadillas and also tried the brisket nachos. Both delicious. My husband had the brisket sandwich the bbq is Thursday through Sunday and so good. Smoked there on site it seems.

Great service, cold beer, and fresh, sumptuous Seared Ahi Tuna Salad. That was the best Happy Hour I’ve had the pleasure to attend.

Katy Trail Ice House in Plano is one of my favorite places to get a hamburger and an adult beverage. Most people prefer their wide selections of beer. I prefer the margaritas! Try a cheeseburger cooked your way with french fries or onion rings. If you are adventurous, try the Ahi Tuna sandwich.

Food is delicious, great atmosphere, beautiful bar and restaurant. The patio is phenomenal. Great wait staff and the best bartenders! Giving 5+ stars highly recommend this place to a that live there or go to visit.

We found this place when visiting our daughter. We needed a dog friendly place. Boy does it deliver! Welcomes your dog on to the outdoor area with a posted sign. Lots of trees and so much shade. The waitress, Crystal, was the best! Super friendly and pleasant! We ordered the nachos first then the hamburger and hotdog dinners. Huge portions and good value. The bbq smelled amazing, but they were out of most everything on a late Sunday afternoon, so I recommend getting there early. We will be back!

The food is awesome! The fries are one of the best parts! The jalapeño jack burger was so juicy! Service was great and I loved the atmosphere of the in/out-door seating area. Everything was clean too. Highly recommend!
