Things have definitely changed at this place. The burritos are smaller now, and they include less of the fillings. I paid extra for potatoes, and there were probably a tablespoon of potatoes put in. To make it worse, every time I have placed an online order, it is never ready when I arrive. I have had to go to the register to ask, and only then do they actually start making it. They also cannot look up your loyalty account, and they just tell you to get the app Granted, this is a still a solid experience and delivers a good burrito, plus it has a lot of good options (I am happy they added Beyond Meat). I will still go and enjoy my burrito, but something is definitely different - and not in a good way - from how this location used to be. read more

Maybe this will get someones attention? I ordered through the website yesterday for delivery. After waiting an hour, the app said the food was delivered. It wasn't there. I tried to call the location four separate times to inquire about a refund and nobody answered the phone once. So then I reach out to corporate feedback. "We will reach out shortly". That never happened. So now im out $40? The website doesn't even have order tracking. read more

Small portions; The tacos were weak with not enough meat or filling; it came with a side of queso and chips with about 1 oz of queso.. I can definitely get a better value elsewhere. read more

Their food usually hits! But, I found the LONGEST hair tucked into my husband's $21 burrito. I'm genuinely disgusted. The service is always great, but this is unacceptable. Hairnets are a MUST in the food industry. If you enjoy hair with a side of food, then this is the place for you! read more

Freebirds World Burrito - Hair from burrito - Mexican Near Me - Austin, Texas

Ordered a monster online. Got something so tiny it wasn't worth the gas to pick it up. I'm not coming back guys. If you mess up an order that's fine. But this is an insult. [update]I came back and gave the guy a chance to make it right. Mistake. He made it again and I got lots of rice and about two little bits of beef. So I paid $17 including the tip that I paid ahead of time, for some rice and sauces. I've been a steady customer at this location for about 20 years and it pains me to say this but: Do not under any circumstances but food form this place! There are many good alternatives very near and all are better. read more

Freebirds World Burrito - This is apparently the new monster size. Check the order sticker. Not coming back. EVER. - Mexican Near Me - Austin, Texas

Terrible location. The staff is unfriendly, covered in unsightly facial piercings, doesn't have an ounce of customer service skills. Not to mention the last two times I've been there, they're out of half the ingredients. I know it's pure laziness because they're closing in an hour and just don't want to restock. Arrived at 8pm and they're out of chicken, lettuce and Guac. And the greasy, slick disgusting floors are just the icing on the cake. I thought the first bad experience was a fluke but never going back at this point. read more

Food was good. Good place to get something quick. Veggies looks fresh, and overall service was good. read more

Freebirds World Burrito - Vegetarian Bowl. - Mexican Near Me - Austin, Texas

My husband live next door so we go to this location often. How good the food is depends on whose working that day, lol. I've had certain people load up my burrito, and others completely hold out on toppings I ask for (giving me like half a spoonful or less). The quesadillas are good but they need some work. They completely fall apart. The filling to cheese ratio is pretty uneven. Other than a few qualms here and there, my husband and I will continue support this location. The food is tasty, none the less. read more

Good food, service also good, young staff and area clean too. Person taking my order was quick and since being my first time there asked for recommendation and gave me a few and didn't disappoint. read more

A long wait for a cold, overcooked, incorrect order. The staff clearly hate their jobs.

I've been to Freebirds locations all over the state of Texas. This location didn't measure up, at least when I was there. There were plenty of workers and no more than two other customers, but the trashcan was overflowing and tables were dirty. read more

In a word, underwhelming. I've passed Freebirds many times going by on 620, and finally got around to trying it one Sunday afternoon. I realize that this is a popular option for lunch by the local college students and office workers, but I don't see the appeal. A friend and I tried both a chicken and steak taco. Both were reasonably priced for the portion size, but meat and veggies were strangely lacking in flavor. Additionally, the cooked onions had an overly watery, overcooked texture. The tortillas used were also strangely gummy, which is a puzzle after having so many excellent ones in the Austin area. On the whole, I'd rate this on a par with my college cafeteria food. Service was prompt and friendly, though we were the only ones in line (and there were a half-dozen people sprinkled about the place). It was also clean, but someone had left the hip-hop music up at such a high volume that I found it difficult to talk to someone sitting across from me. I'm not sure what the deal is with establishments that do this. Given that the seating is meant to pack in as many people as they can in a limited space, this is to encourage you to eat and move on. Would I try Freebirds again? Sure, they were friendly enough, and there's always a chance I caught them at a bad time. But if this is the typical fare they offer, then it's worth considering that Austin is awash in truly great Tex-Mex places. This place scores a 2 out of 5 on the 'CTJ Scale', as noted below. 5 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Jesus good. Would be OK passing away after finishing a plate here. 4 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Mary good. Would be OK being seen eating here by Mother Mary. 3 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Joseph good. Would be OK having a beer here with Jesus' Dad. 2 out of 5 stars: Come-to-the-Apostles good. Meh. Wouldn't have my last supper here. 1 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Nobody good. I wouldn't have my penultimate supper here, either. read more

I want to give this place more stars but I'm giving three because it's a hit or miss every other visit. Some times they're spot on, food is well portioned, service is quick. Other times service is very slow to get orders out or they forget something. read more

Isssac is a very rude and inconsiderate Human. He feels he has authority as he is the only manager in the building. Food is not kept at proper temperature. read more

Just got a monster burrito. Consider additional training because sometimes y'all are SPOT ON, but other times you miss the mark by a wide margin. This one tasted like a 7 layer burrito from taco bell The first 75% was literally nothing but refried beans and rice (WAY too much and not spread out). The next 20% was pure veggies and pico. The last few bites were pure steak. That is not a burrito. ‍‍‍ FYI, People like a good mix of the ingredients with every bite. Otherwise the texture, moisture, & flavor is way off - and it was. Simply put, I expect more from a $13+ burrito. read more

Well. This isn't chipotle. And Not impressed by their customer service at all. The only good employee that place has that is worth anything is Ryan, he is an awesome young man. On Sunday's, they close at nine, but they were ruder than most when we said we were sitting in to eat. We have had a long day just as they have I mistakes their hours for the usual hours of 10pm closing and we stayed too late. They made it clear they didn't want us there, so we obliged and left quickly. There was a girl who gave us our drinks and she stuck her hand INSIDE the cup on each and every one of them. They are so skimpy on what they put in each of the bowls that you have to ask them to put a little more and they roll their eyes. It's also a $5 up charge for this Texas Brisket thing they have going on right now. Making a normal bowl $15. If there was a chipotle next to it I would go right to it. Not only are the people nicer, but the prices are just way better, and you don't have a girl sticking her hand in your cup before you get it. read more

This is my local Freebirds. I go a lot. It's always good. It's just as good as all the other Freebirds. The queso is good. The salsa is good. The chicken is good. It's all good. You haven't been to Freebirds? Just try it. It's like Chipotle but better. read more

I've always loved Freebirds burritos, but things have changed. I ordered my usual steak Hybird, which is now called the half bird, and I know why! This burrito was half the normal size it used to be. It was literally the size of a Taco Bell bean burrito. Super small and lacking ingredients. Such a bummer for the price they charge. read more

Will not go back to this location. I have an issue with the same person every single time. And she is still there, I get beans and rice and every time I'm there she charges me for a full burrito. I don't mind paying but don't be a bitch. I'll drive clear across town before dealing with the attitude and rudeness of this same employee. I've already written a review and it was taken down. I guess they don't care about their customers. read more

Food was ok. Last time I went to this establishment was years ago and I would definitely say it's gone downhill. Just paid an extra $3 for a monster burrito just for it to be smaller then the freebird. Just not the same. read more

So glad they put one up in this neck of the woods but damn they stay busy. You have to plan your visit here or you may end up stuck in a very long line. Parking can be a bit of a bear as well. You are better off parking off in the distance so you can get in and out easier. This area has been starved of good dining for years and now that we finally have some places everybody is out and about. Unless you are familiar with Freebirds you may not understand that these are not your traditional Mexican style burrito's. They put their own spin on them and let me tell you that you will not be disappointed. They have many varieties to include Bowl and Salad style burritos. I guess they really aren't Burrito's but I like calling them that just the same. If your wanting something, fresh, tasty and different give them a try. If your familiar with Freebirds, this location is one of the best. The service is excellent the quality is there but be patient if you go during lunch or dinner time, this place gets pretty crowded. read more

Absolutely LOVE Freebirds! This location is clean and the staff is friendly and quick.

I was wandering around my Hotel looking for a healthy place to eat, and was immediately lured in by the "Beyond Meat Burger" sign on the front window. I am Vegan, and over-excited about their protein addition. The employees were happy, friendly, and eager to please their guests. I had a fantastic Beyond Meat Burger, and will happily return to Freebirds any time. read more

Freebirds World Burrito - Freebirds new Beyond Mead Protein on Spinach wrap make an amazing Vegan Meal. - Mexican Near Me - Austin, Texas

We got freebirds today as both my husband and I had hangover belly and wanted something to make us feel warm and cozy in side. This was our first time and we usually go to chipotle for our normal fast food style TEXMEX fix. However, we will be going here from now on because my Salad bowl was so fulfilling and delicious! I loved the new caulirice as I'm trying to watch what i eat on the weekends more often now! My husband got the regular burrito and omg that cayenne tortilla was so good! We didn't take photos because we were so hungry! Presentation and taste was on point! Can't wait to make this our new weekend "cheat" meal! read more

I've been a regular customer at this location for years getting a family meal every week on average, but I will probably stop. The quality is ok? Not great but at least it has been consistent. That's not the problem. It's the portion control. It's been getting steadily worse and now has pretty much gone too far. I split a "monster" with a side of chips with my youngest kid. The chips were so small I gave them all to my child, but then It left me so hungry I had to microwave some frozen burritos to make it a full meal. The value prop just isn't there any more. read more

I'm sad to see by the other recent reviews that my most recent experiences are on par with everyone else's. I'm not sure what has happened to this location, but my latest visit on 6/22/20 will definitely be our last! Just reiterating what everyone else has said. Upon entering the restaurant your hit with animosity and irritation when you walk up- not a friendly greeting. They obviously would rather be anywhere else but there, particularly the woman. I received eye rolls and exasperated sighs while she put my salad together. I tried not to piss her off anymore than she already was.... I was obviously not successful. They used to have the nicest and friendliest employees. I'm wondering what everyone else is wondering...new management? Poor employee pool? Too bad, this location was really convenient for us. read more

We moved here a month ago and was super excited that a Freebirds was close to our new home. Ordered here 4 times for to-go and wow, this place is super inconsistent. Nachos without queso TWICE now. I can't use a gift card I bought at H-E-B for four weeks so far because systems are down. I order and it says a time it will be ready, well it's not so I have to wait for 30 additional minutes past that time. Call to order on phone to get better estimate of time, get hung up on after being told to hold. If it wasn't for my love of this place when we lived in TX previously, I would totally write it off. When it's correct, it's spectacular but this location has so many kinks to figure out...writing this review while I wait for my order today as they ran out of refried beans... read more

This place has been steadily going downhill over the last year. Either they changed ownership or management or something. The staff is usually rude and totally mailing it in. The food is unremarkable at best. With 10 new restaurants coming in including chipotle - who sells the EXACT same thing as Freebirds - their days are numbered. There MANY better choice very close by. read more

This is the only freebirds location I have ever been to and I probably will ever go to because I I am afraid of change and refuse to drive any further from my home But every time I go in everyone is always super nice and helpful and really fast. Especially when I try to be real extra and get a little burrito for my doggo Also! There is someone there named Freddy or Freddie idk how he spells his name but! He is awesome always happy and always engaging with every guest and he wears some super cool shirts ! So thanks guy! Anyway this is longer than I wanted to make this review just wanted to let you know I appreciate y'all for being patient and awesome ! read more

Freebirds is good food and you always know what you are getting (partly because you are creating it yourself!). My go to is either the burrito bowl or nachos. They are large portions that almost always require me to take it home. Carnitas and chicken are flavorful as are the onions and peppers. Prices are good and typical of what you would spend at a quality fast food joint. $8-$12 per person. One of the best things about Freebirds is that kids eat free on Sunday. The kids get a small burrito or quesadilla/chips/drink. For under $30, our family of 4 can eat pretty well on Sunday. This includes our adult entrees with added drinks and dip (guacamole/queso). As you can imagine, this is the place to be after church. We arrived between12:15 and 12:30. Perfect Timing! Ok once 1pm hit, the line was ridiculous. Otherwise, this is my favorite location. It's open and spacious inside with a patio outside. Staff is friendly and quick. read more

I am so disappointed in leaving this review because I love eating here. I ordered grub hub- a steak salad bowl with lettuce beans tomatoes Spanish rice extra pico de Gallo extra salsa . Not only did I not receive extra salsa and Pico, I receive None At All!!!! This is the 2nd time this has happened.!!! To makes matters worse I called after an hour and ask if my food was ready for pick up yet for grub hub driver. The guy said it's been waiting for 10 mins. When I called grub hub the agent callled restaurant and got a different answer. The food arrived 30 mins later and was cold. A full 90 mins from order to delivery when the promise time was 60mins The people that work here are great! Always happy always great service. I just don't know why they can't get it right when it's a grub hub order?!?!! read more

I've been coming here for foreverrrr. Love Freebirds honestly or at least I used too.. the first time this issue happened I didn't say anything but this time I was annoyed. I used uber eats to deliver my food as I don't have a car to pick it up and everything was great but the chicken. It was pink, chewy, and not edible at alllll. I was upset as I couldn't get anything different and I was on my lunch break with not much time. This is ridiculous and I should have said something before but now I am read more

Great food, great service! Came here the other night with my two kids and it hit the spot. The servers were friendly and the tables were clearly marked for social distancing.

Freebirds World Burrito - Mexican Near Me - Austin, Texas

Came with the office for lunch after a long hiatus of going to Chipotle over Freebirds. Still love the classic Freebird burrito but this review is about the pot brownies. The pot brownies used to be magical. Crunchy all the way around. Chunks of chocolate. A real legit experience, probably even cooked in big cast iron molds. The new (probably old now) pot brownies are sad, soggy and sticky. :'(. Long live the memories. read more

Very surprised I hadn't been here yet! It's tucked away off 620, where there aren't large signs...actually keeps the area very nice looking without huge advertisement. This is a standard Freebirds, though a little less "loud" than other locations: no massive amounts of aluminum foil artwork all over the walls. The ingredients are good, and it never takes too long to get your burrito (or whatever) made. The barbeque sauce is very good here. I recommend it with just about anything! read more
