Amazing lil place, that's 38 years old this year!…read more Caters to truck drivers and smokers, open nearly 24 hours, with semi parking. Food is amazing, and shockingly cheap. Service is perfect for the clientele, they adapt to each person. I like to be left alone to read a book, that was exactly how I was served; meanwhile, the guy at the table in the corner was a typical longhaul trucker, who eventually had a member of the staff join him at his table and just sat there and let him ramble for an hour, what an amazing place! If you already have semi parking off site, this pkace is probably walking distance from it: close to truck stops, terminals and pokey loading shippers, hit them up! The food is incredible. I have no idea how they are able to coax such flavor out of such simple foods, (and they wouldn't tell me!) But somehow they manage! I walked down there and had TX bbq for lunch earlier today, in a couple more hours I'm going back to try their no doubt authentic Mexican food, I can't wait! (I'll try to get more pictures on my return trip!)

They received their meals first. My meal which was more simple than theirs came 5-10 mins later. I was craving coconut shrimp and plantains so I ordered the coconut shrimp basket and a virgin piña colada. I received my drink first but pretty sure it was missing the coconut cream. It taste like it was just a really sweet coconut flavored drink with lime. Regarding my meal: my plantains were not even warm, neither was the shrimp and the fries were the hottest and best thing out of the whole meal. I ate the bit that I did because I was hungry. This was a planned outing for a birthday so I held off from eating so I had room for my meal. I'm not sure that I will return because I hear the oxtail is delicious and that is something I would like to try maybe next time but I'm not really sure after this experience.

Good music, the dj was entertaining, engaging with the audience, curating dance competitions, etc. It was fun, so for that... bonus stars. But when we get to the details of the establishment, that's where the fun ends. OVER-priced, watered-down drinks - and I won't even mention how they're $25, for a cup of sour mix essentially. So if "vibes" alone is what you're looking for, go for it!

There's construction out front right now, so getting in is a little tricky. We honestly didn't…read morerealize they were open until we got closer. The upside? They weren't charging a cover at the door like they normally do. Personally, I think that door charge needs to go away completely. The seating arrangement is also a little awkward. If you come with one other person and only take two seats at a shared table, someone else can end up sitting directly across from you. I understand it's a live music venue, but when you're trying to eat and carry on a conversation, sitting face-to-face with strangers can feel uncomfortable. I've been coming to The Free Man for years, and I always order the Cajun wings. They've always come tossed in the Cajun sauce. Last night, they came out dry with the sauce served on the side. I asked about it, and I was told, "That's how they do it now." Since when? It honestly felt like my order was made incorrectly and they just put the sauce on the side to fix it. If that really is a new policy, why is the kitchen deciding that for customers? At the very least, ask whether we want the sauce on the side or tossed. I also noticed the wings seemed overcooked--the meat near the bone had a very dark brown color that I wasn't a fan of. The Cajun fries were still excellent, as always. I also ordered the red beans and rice. They were okay. Someone definitely got a little heavy-handed with the hot sauce. The rice was cooked well, but overall it was just average. For drinks, I ordered a ginger beer. Mine came in the can, while the person I was with received theirs poured over a cup full of ice, which watered it down. I would rather have the can and decide how much ice I want. I've also been hearing from other reviews that a 20% gratuity is automatically added. I didn't notice that on my bill, which makes me wonder if it was already included because the suggested tip amounts seemed unusually low. If gratuity is included, just be transparent about it. Don't make customers feel like they should leave an additional tip because they weren't clearly informed. Now for the best part: the band was fantastic. They're the reason I continue coming back. The Free Man has always been one of my favorite places for live music, but it feels like some of the little details have started slipping. People come here for great food, great music, and a relaxed atmosphere with like-minded people. Don't make the experience more complicated than it needs to be.

My AI recommended this place while in the DFW area. My experience was great! Not what I expected…read morebut I think I literally got the best positive experience not knowing the ropes or what to expect. I made a reservation but it took me to open table that required a credit card. Since I was alone I didn't care and wanted to make sure I had a bar seat. Well. When I got to the door (I took an Uber).. I saw there were no bar seats. Not that they were full.. I'm guessing they must have removed them. I thought.. UHOH.. I guess I need to get a Uber back to my hotel. The door man asked if I was on someone's list. I replied with "no, but I made a reservation". He asked if I didn't mind sitting with another person who has a single seat. I decided to go with it and accept. Perhaps there was an event. Not sure.. The person who I ended up sitting with had a warm personality and all the staff who I spoke with from the bartender (may have been an asian female) was informative and kind, b I uncer by one door was funny and had a Bernie Mac vibe, Host at the front door (Rufus) was beyond professional and accommodating. He even checked to make sure my open table was updated as a check-in so I didn't have additional charges. Even the DJ had a nice mix of old & new school. I was there around 7 and ordered food. The waitress got my order wrong. Fried instead of Grilled.. bummer .. but she was also a pleasure so I just went with it. They were also short staffed. From my understanding 2 people were very late for their shift. I gave her grace. I was pleased the greens had no sugar in them. I audio ordered the same dish to go for a person who's going through medical issues and they made sure I got the grief blackened catfish this time which was great. She enjoyed age I tasted it. The chef mentioned that most like the shrimp or fish tacos. Yes, I spoke to him too!!! I even spoke the the gentleman outside selling cigars and bought two. I noticed it may have been too early for the expected crowd and didn't see anyone walk up to his outside location. I learned so much about the restaurant and plan on attending again for live music. As I was leaving, I noticed a change in the appearance of the crowd. It appears it's suited for all ages depending on the event and time of day. Very clean space. I didn't make it to the ladies room to see the layout.

Arrived 10 mins before the event, parked in an unmarked open space and then was told 10 I parked, since they didn't start on time, that I needed to move my vehicle due to it being valet and them charging $40!!! Uh hell no. The gravel lot was terrible. Since they make you pay for everything, should look into a paved parking lot. The event was advertised starting at 11 and getting in was so disorganized. I just expected it to be more organized. They should've done a practice run the night before and had all sections and signs visible. Didn't realize that every single spot in the place was reserved. EVERYTHING! Even sitting outside at the single bar stool like area. I will say it's a big space but charging for the plastic bar stools is wild. The drinks were average and not worth the price. Jerk chicken quesadillas 5/10: food was cold and the fries were undercooked and had no salt. The flavor of the chicken was decent. They should cooker extra jerk sauce- but they might charge $3 for it so never mind. Blue current 6/10: nothing special...too much ice and could've used more alcohol. It was pretty to look at
