Angel's Icehouse, Spicewood

It’s been awhile since I’ve been to Angel’s Icehouse in Spicewood, but I wanted to blog about it anyway. I’ve been craving their fried macaroni and lemon icebox pie. When I went online and pulled up their new menu I almost had a panic attack because their menu changed. The fried macaroni is missing from their appetizer section! I love those little triangles of fried macaroni. When you bite into them they are creamy goodness inside. Good news though; they still have them on their kids menu, so all is not lost. I will drag a kid with me if I have to. But, I will not share my fried macaroni. If you try to take one from me, I might just stab your hand with a fork. If you are one of the lucky few who I share them with, you will know you are truly loved.

Angel’s also has really good turkey burgers. I somehow feel a little better about myself if I have a turkey burger with my fried macaroni instead of a beef burger. I’ve also tried their chicken fried chicken strips, and wedge salad, all very good. Make sure you leave room for their lemon icebox pie. It’s something they make not purchase elsewhere and will melt in your mouth. It is the perfect combination of sweetness and tartness. They frequently run out by the end of the evening. We were there late one night and I was told they were out. I think when the waitress saw the sad look on my face she went and stole a piece they were saving for someone because she was afraid I would start crying. That earned her a big tip!

Your Mom's Burger Bar

After trying Your Mom’s Burger Bar, it beat out Casino El Camino as my all time favorite place to get a burger. It’s a small place with plenty of attitude tucked away on the east side and a little hard to find. When you see their burger menu choices, you will probably have a hard time choosing. You could definitely tell we were first-timers from the amount we took to figure out what we wanted to order. I just stood there with a dazed look on my face while drooling from the wonderful smell of their burgers.

You can choose from one of their concoctions or build your own, which is what we did. They have every topping from avocado to won ton strips, and spreads from BBQ to wasabi. All this on a 1/2 pound natural Angus burger, yum! And I would be remiss if I don’t mention their fries, which are very good. I had a blackened burger with an egg and pepper jack cheese.

There is a small covered patio area to eat in but we chose to eat out on the side on the picnic tables facing the road. We were mildly entertained by a car chase until it almost jumped the curb where we were sitting.

The next time we go back I’ll try their fried zucchini slices.
