“Serving great food since the hippies showed up” (Waterloo Ice House, Austin)

The Waterloo Ice House began in 1976 and now has several locations in Austin. Waterloo is known for its American fare—such as hamburgers and beer—but it’s also family friendly. “Waterloo” is the original name of the city of Austin, and “ice house” is a Texas term for a tavern.
 
Waterloo’s slogan is: “Serving great food since the hippies showed up.”  (There were no hippies in Austin before 1976?)

Serving great food since the hippies showed up
 
Leander/Cedar Park Impact News (May 2007, pg. 17)
Waterloo Ice House has made it all the way from Congress Avenue, its first establishment, to Avery Ranch. This Austin icon has served up good food in a fun, relaxed atmosphere since 1976, and Waterloo stayed true to its laid-back tradition in its newest location that opened in April.

Waterloo Ice House’s sign says it has been “serving great food since the hippies showed up.”
