County Road Ice House
A Texas icehouse vibe with a Kansas City smoker
County Road Ice House is a barbecue restaurant in Kansas City, Missouri.
County Road Ice House imports the Texas icehouse—a big open-air space, live music, and room for a crowd—then points a Kansas City smoker at it. The pull is as much the setting as the plate: a group-and-family spot with a patio built for a long, loud afternoon and a table where everyone can order something a little different.
The brisket draws on both traditions, smoked long and sliced fatty with a tomato-based KC lean, and the smoked turkey holds its own beside it. The sides wander south of the border—elote dusted and creamy, a loaded baked potato stacked for a hungry table—giving the menu more range than the standard Kansas City tray. It's an easy landing spot when the group is big, the mood is casual, and the live music is doing as much work as the pit.
