Concho Pearl Icehouse, The - San Angelo

This place has avocado salad to taste. The fried avocado tastes like something, it also comes with meat and fresh vegetables. Has large backyard and the interior is also cute. The weekend brunch was a bit disappointing.

Did not eat here, built this place makes an excellent background for old classics.

BBQ Nirvana. We got the full platter and I have to say this is some of the best bbq I've ever had. The smoke flavor really came through and the crust was perfect on everything but still very moist. Beans and potato salad were good as well. Slaw was not my style but fresh tasting. Decent beer selection. Atmostphere was good with tastful decor, high and lowtop tables, classic arcade games and unobstructive music. Service style is a little out of norms. I dont mind counter service but the area to order is not well defined and it felt like your pushing through the bar seating to order. I would suggest better signage and having the order area closer to the front door. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Will make this a must stop on my next trip to San Angelo.

First off, the servers are attentive and good. The atmosphere is very cool, with the patio being a highlight. Acoustics are good for shows, and all around good vibes. Unfortunately the food is issue. Everything I had here was bland, with the most disappointing item being the brisket. This is Texas y'all. Take a look at my posted photo, and tell me that is an acceptable looking cut of brisket. It's half fat. A moist/fatty cut should have the fat rendered into the brisket, not taking up half the slice. The sides were bland as well. Additionally, chips/guac and a plate of nachos were ordered as an appetizer and the chips for both items were stale. This place has a lot of potential but they really have to step it up in their primary function: food.

We visited for supper on 11/23/19. A sign upon entering told us to grab a menu (a piece of paper printed on two sides) and pick our own table. We did and waited for ten minutes before a lady who turned out to be the bartender told us food is now ordered at the bar. We ordered and found out iced tea was not ready and so had to get soft drinks. The food took a long time to arrive, about 40 minutes, and one order had the wrong side dish. They corrected it immediately. The restaurant seemed understaffed and disorganized. That all said, the food was tasty and the restaurant was clean. Here’s hoping we hit an off night.
