So I'm in Huntsville visiting my friends Tom and Mary and CRG says, "Let's meet for a burger and beer, there's a place halfway between Livingston and Huntsville that makes a mean burger and fries." Great! Count me in!!!
Well, when Sonny said it was a good burger, man oh man, he wasn't kidding. The Hilltop Ice House is a little place off Hwy 190. It was a beautiful day, not too hot for the 1st of July, the sides were flipped up so you can enjoy the outdoors and the fans were on deliverying a cool, pleasant breeze... this place was NEAT I'm telling you. And the burger? Yeah, it was simply fanstastic. It was loaded with everything and I had juice dripping off both elbows. ;D It was so good I completely finished ALL of mine. Sonny's son Caleb was there and had his down in what seemed like 3.5 seconds! Caleb is a super kid, he's laid back and enjyoable to be around just like his dad.
Thank you Sonny for the terrific lunch and box of goodies. I will definitely be posting lot's of cooks when I get home with all the cool stuff from the box. You're even more awesome in person than you are online. I truly enjoyed our visit and am looking forward to the Texas Smokeout this fall.
The smokin' monkey himself!

That's cool....
How cool is that!
Why am I not surprised that CRG would know of a great place to have a FABULOUS burger. It takes a good cook to know where the good places are to eat and have a little fun. Looks like a good time. Yes, I wish I could have been there. ( Just a little too far to drive. )
Cool! And CRG ain't near as ugly as you guys said he was........... ::)
Just saying. Doesn't mean I'll take a long hot shower with him..(Heartbreak Ridge)
I too had a good Time meeting Steve (Darqman)
This was the Ice House we meet at.

And beer of the month..

And "free beer tomorrow"...
And the King of Beers...
And Rocky Mountain "Hey lookie here! It's another beer!" beer...
Nuthin' about no ICE.
