Hays City Store Ice House - DRIFTWOOD

Such a chill place. I told my brother I wanted something away from the city and his recommendation did not disappoint. Believe it or not, the surprise champion of the evening was the bean dip! So good! The wings were okay. The barmaid was incredible. Wewill definitely be returning !

The dry rub smoked wings and the spinach artichoke dip were amazing! Great atmosphere with the live music and the misters to keep you cool on a hot summer day.

Moved to Kyle in April, and have been hearing about Hays City Store since day one. We finally made it in last night, while the brother in law is in town. Had some beer and some 'ritas, of course some queso with home made chorizo, the GOAT Burger, theBacon Jam burger, kiddos cheeseburger and the GOAT pizza. Service was solid. Everyone was friendly and helpful. I liked thechips a lot. Their salsa is very tasty, and the chorizo in the queso is on point. To me, the pizza was the standout. Flavor,texture, all great. ???? I liked the burgers well enough. My only real criticism here was with them and it was simply that theywere more done then I 'd have liked. And to be fair I didn 't ask for them to be cooked any specific way, so it was my own fault.The toppings, both in quality and flavor, were very good. The pickles, which are clearly home made, are excellent. The lettuce,tomato and onion all looked gorgeous, were fresh and delicious. The fries and onion rings were also very good ???? Tried aflight of margaritas. They were refreshing, tasty, and definitely had tequila. You can 't always tell with frozen drinks, so thatwas very welcome. Also we sat inside, due to Texas being ???? and it was good. They were very busy, which I hear is pretty muchthe norm, but it didn 't feel chaotic or disorganized. Overall we loved it and will certainly be adding HCS to our rotation forsure! Oh yeah, last thought ???? we reserved a table ahead of time, which I highly recommend.

Had a great experience here after leaving Saltlick with no food due to an untrained server and food allergies didn’t mix . The GF buns here are great and the staff is knowledgeable about allergens. Completely turned our day around! We’ll ????stop here again!

Good vibes! Enjoyed the margarita flight and sausage plate. Smoked wings are so good! Go for outdoor seating, it’s worth the wait.
