Join the fun at The Stix Icehouse, 301 Eldorado Pkwy #100, McKinney, TX.

The Icehouse opens at 11:00am, and there is open seating, so please arrive before 11:00am and we will grab the tables we need to sit together. And bring along a hearty appetite. With menu offerings ranging from Home Cooking Favorites to salads, handhelds, and even a Bologna Sammich, you are sure to find something delicious to satiate your hunger!

This natter is graciously hosted by Dawna and Andy Wood. Please call Dawna at 915-490-1232 if you have any questions. We look forward to seeing you there!
