Freebirds 07-09-26 Decided to try it again! This time it was much better. Might even say it was good. The difference was night and day! We went and had dinner. My grandson got the Super Monster Burrito and I got the regular Burrito. This time the food was hot and fresh. I tried the Taco Meat this time and really enjoyed it. The staff were friendly and helpful. We will be back! Enjoy! Freebirds 10-02-25 When you walk in it looks nice. Walking through the line I got the impression that the employee didn't want to be there! She just stood there looking at me. I ordered the burrito bowl. She put a little rice in the bowl. I chose the ground taco meat. She scrapped what little bit of the meat in the pan. Grease and all. Probably not 2 tablespoons! It was a very sad bowl. My grandson got the monster burrito! It was made with one tortilla and it was not a monster. For reference, we eat at the one in Denton Texas and it's great! The monster had two tortillas and lots of filling. The two items cost me $40.00 which was ridicules! Everything was half the size and twice the price. I will not be back. Chipotle's and Freebirds are at the bottom of my list! Taco Casa has better food! This was a total Fail for me. I looked at the receipt after we left and we got water to drink. We were charged $5.00 for our two drinks of small water! Very bad experience. I know everyone has good and bad days. This was a really bad day! I don't like giving bad reviews but when it's Bad it's BAD! Give it a try at your own risk. There are no photos it was that bad. Now I wish I had taken photos so I could show what we got! read more

This place has become a total joke - $15 rice burritos with practically no meat served by uninterested workers that didn't even know the menu. Absolutely HORRIBLE SERVICE! read more

Another positive experience at Freebirds. We walked in slowly, and the staff was super friendly. The line cook made fresh vegan chorizo for us. The quesadillas and taco bowl were beautiful. Fresh, flavorful and the perfect quantity. The place was clean and comfortable, as always. read more

Cold food, undercooked steak (and I like a rare steak) Staff didn't acknowledge me for AT LEAST 5 minutes of waiting when I was 1 of 2 customers. Almost $30. Ended up throwing it away and going to eat something else. read more

the food is pretty good! I enjoy the firebird chicken. the issue is that the place has all high school students working there so there have been times I've gotten the wrong order or menu items are out - and they have no idea what to do or how long it will take to replenish. read more

The customer service is horrendous, first time I went I gave the guy a pass figured his day must've been horrible which is why he would only stare at me and not speak a word and every question was met with a monotone answer like he hates being their. Second time going my wife described the service as horrible I described the guy helping her to a T and she Ofcourse had the same person I had weeks earlier. My wife's visit they had the audacity to charge 2 bucks for the guacamole they had left which maybe amounted to half a scoop . The food is good but the service is continuously horrible. read more

I've consumed burritos all over the globe. I am not a fan of chains. Having said that, this burrito is outstanding. The steak was delicious and the young lady who assembled this marvelous menu item did not skimp on the fixings. Wow. Five stars. read more

The food has gone downhill and the prices go up every visit. No ancho sauce. Boo. $9 for rice and beans? No thank you. Poor customer service. They sold me a diet Coke and then told me after I paid that the diet Coke machine did not work. Never again. read more

Ordered online after a day of Christmas shopping, went in to pick up and they didn't even know they had an online order. Proceeded to wait 30 minutes just for 2 bowls. Finally got the bowls and they apologized saying they were waiting on the chicken to be done. Only when we got to the car, the chicken was ice cold and was missing some of the toppings that were on the receipt. We used to enjoy coming here for the past year, but this was very disappointing. read more

First time ordering from Freebird and was so impressed. The monster burrito is just that. If youre looking for plant based options, the choice is very good here. The veggies are fresh ,the spicing/spiciness on point. Flavors burst with each bite. Welcome surprise. Food arrived nice and hot!! read more

Ordered freebies for the first time & it was amazing. I had a 40% off Uber eats code and decided to order a prime rib burrito. I got the biggest size and ended up being only $21!!! Amazing!! My order was made timely and packaging was terrific. They even added a $7 burrito or bowl for Tuesday and I'm probably going to get me another freebirds burrito. The burrito was well put together and a topping fell out twice, which is also amazing! I definitely recommend the prime rib burrito to any first time person, it will have you coming back for more read more

Keeping in mind I've grown up eating at the Austin Freebirds, I was disappointed. They don't have that Freebirds fun and vibe - what sets it above Chipolte and makes it a fun destination for a great meal. Where is the quirky fun, the unique quality, the TIN FOIL ART! I even asked and was told the district manager aka Scrooge won't allow it and forces employees to remove any left by customers. What a shame. Places like Freebirds aren't just the food (that was great), it is also the atmosphere. District Manager - you blew it! People go there for great food but also for the quirky staff, the atmosphere, and the tin foil art. You get 4.5 stars for food (you lose half because you don't have spinach tortillas) and decent staff. You lose 2.5 for the lack of atmosphere that costs you nothing! And where are the spinach tortillas!!! read more

I've been here several times. I'm kind of a regular now. The food's always good. The services is fantastic and the customer service is great as well. Never have any complaints. read more

Much improved. Delivery was delicious, fast, and didn't disappoint. The guacamole was fresh and the burritos were appetizing.

The food was pretty good overall. Such a low rating because of the 6 employees, only 1 was working on dine-in customers.. Another was clearly working on to-go orders, and another was chopping up some meat that just got off the grill. After that though, he went to the back room with 2 others and didn't help at all. Finally when we went to pay, the line was all the way to the door so an employee had to come from break early just to help... Didn't help that the manager at the time (while we were eating) went outside, vaped and texted for about 5-7 minutes and then proceeded to go help serve food (without washing his hands...). Kind of gross... read more

The food was good and the service was amazing but most of the menu is add-ons you will end up spending 20$ per person to get a a burrito and a regular sized drink read more

Food is good and fresh, but the serving sizes are always inconsistent. Sometimes so much that I end up giving some of mine to other people in our party, because their's is so light on rice and meat. Hoping they will see this and work on making it more consistent. I don't usually leave a review unless it is good, but it has been happening so much that we don't want to order any more because though it taste good, the value for our money is lost. read more

Im from Austin and have been going to freebirds for many many years . I think its more of this location that has issues rather than the actual company . I use the Rewards and had gotten free Queso after spending 100.00 ( many burritos) When I went to redeem the employee ( Anthony was rude and argued that chips dont come with the queso from the rewards ! Guess they expected me to eat the pint of queso with a spoon or straw! he argued with me until I walked out . So thats the 1st bad experience. I called corporate and spoke with Adam( Nice Guy!) he put the queso reward back on my app and said he would talk to the store . So 2nd time around for the Queso This time the wonderful employee was Jessica visit was 10/28/20 she did same as Anthony gave me a hassle over the chips ! I said I spoke to corporate and am suppose to get chips with the queso . She didnt want to hear it so I told her to call a manager . So with a line behind me and store full of customers Im sitting there waiting for here while she is on the phone with manager . Comes back and asks employee to give her a large chips . He said I have one ready from another order . This Lady grabs the bag dumps out most of the chips and says this is a large Chips . It weighed out to around 4 ounces with the bag . So I get to argue about some damn chips with Jessica when my visit could have just been easy breezy . When I asked about why she was giving me a hassle over some chips She/ Jessica stated she has to keep customers in line so they dont get free stuff. Im here for a order not to be schooled by freebirds worker. With the smaller containers, no option for extra beans and rice on their app and the smaller portions its just not working out between me and freebirds. Again I believe this is location specific I never have any issues at locations that are in Austin . read more

It's good but the meat isn't super high quality. I prefer chipotle over freebirds but chipotle can be a hit and miss sometimes as well.

Prefer chipotle bowl when comparing bowls but the chips and queso beats chipotle's no question.

don't waste your money on the monster bowl. they are screwing you out of an extra $5. they say it's 50% mine looks like it was 50% less. read more

Freebirds World Burrito - a person holding a bowl of food - Tex-Mex Near Me - Temple, Texas

I'm only giving two stars because the food is decent Don't expect any efficiency with online ordering, especially during the lunch rush. I don't mind waiting but if I put in an online food order and I'm told it'll be 20 minutes, I don't expect to wait too long when I show up at the given time to get my food. Today, I showed up at the time given on my order and they hadn't started it yet. Ok, it's busy, but the online pickup is literally right next to where everyone pays for their food. So, you're stuck standing there trying to stay out of peoples' way but there isn't a lot of breathing room Fix your online ordering efficiency, please read more

If you're looking for the awesome burrito experience you're used to from Freeb!rds in Austin or College Station....this ain't it. Oh it's the same chain and the same menu but this place flat sucks. I've now been twice and both times the employees have been sure to let me know they are put out by having to wait on a customer. Also, something g has changed with the Monster Cyanne tortillas...they are smaller and bland. I thought maybe the pissed off kid behind the counter grabbed a wheat freebies by mistake but no. Guess Ill have to go to Austin to get my Freeb!irds fix from now on. read more

So-so tex mex not Mexican food. More importantly the staff do not wear masks and they handle the food without utensils or gloves. I will never go back there again. read more

Easy access from the hospital, but he employees seem a little on the grouchy side very rude. Probably just picking a diferente place to eat. I almost walked out from the rudeness. read more

This is a run of the mill Freebirds. I can say the food was great, and the staff was polite. I was here at 7:30 pm on a Sunday(they close at 9pm) and they are already shutting down. read more

I was imprisoned in the hotel next door, and I really did not want to get back in the car again, so I tried Freebirds, and I'm glad I did. I suppose the concept is similar to Chipotle, but I haven't been to many of those either, so I won't try to compare the two. The idea is "build your own burrito", or in my case, a salad bowl with burrito ingredients on top. And I was pleasantly surprised. The employee I dealt with was not exactly a ball of fire, but she was moderately helpful if you could find a way to verbally twist her arm a bit. The impression I have is that she would perk right up if I was some celebrity or a person her own age; she really would rather be somewhere else, or perhaps prefers that I was someone else. The food I had was good. Both the cilantro rice and the beans were excellent. I had some diced charred chicken that was very well seasoned and cooked. All of the cold ingredients I added on top tasted fresh and had a nice level of spice. They have quite a variety of options, and you can watch the meats being grilled as you traverse the line. I think the reason this place surprised me is that I came in expecting "Burrito Subway", and the food I received was way beyond my expectations. Now if they can only convince their employees that personality and friendliness count, and that every customer is a potential repeat customer; if patrons don't feel welcome, they won't return. read more

Excellent service, amazing food, and positive vibes. I have never seen a burrito rolled so perfectly. Highly recommend this place to anyone in need of a great burrito or bowl. Also welcome to the gain train. Great job Collin. read more

We ordered a Taco Bar To Go from the Temple, TX Freebirds Catering Service. It was PERFECT! The food was ready on time, exactly as ordered and there was PLENTY. I would order from here again! read more

Love freebirds and the atmosphere it has. Very chill and trendy. The nachos are the best but they were a bit too thin and can't hold much of anything without breaking. But still delish. Always have a great experience when I goto one. read more

Good place to have lunch. Has more variety than Chipotle, which is a plus. I had both the burrito and salad which were filling. Meat and vegetables tasted fresh. Great customer service both times I visited. Restaurant was kept clean. read more

Freebirds is a great place to eat. This one in particular, has been a great experience. Build a Burrito is way better than Build a Bear. The staff during the lunch hour does amazing. There is absolutely no talking in kitchen but the boys are putting in work! Their is a person at every station to speed up the process. Their dining area has some crumbs here and there but still good enough to enjoy the delicious food. Online customers get priority over drive through and walk ins. May seem like a downer but in reality they're quick as can be. Keep up the great work! read more

First ordered chicken burrito on 6/1/17 as take-out, first time eating Freebirds. Very disappointed because my burrito was missing 3 items. I called Freebirds and spoke with the manager, Jonathan. What great customer service! Jonathan was both pleasant and professional. He offered me another burrito. I picked up my 2nd burrito on 6/4/17. Very good burrito! Thanks to Jonathan for asking me to give Freebirds another try! Freebirds is definitely my "go to" place for burritos! Recommend this place! read more

I honestly LOVE freebirds.. I will drive further out of my way to get freebirds vs Chipotle/Subway. So as far as taste goes- FIVE STARS. However 50% of why customers love and return to a certain brand is the way they are treated. Especially during this climate of unrest amongst each other in our country, walking in with a smile on my face and always being polite, I do not appreciate feeling like I am inconveniencing someone by having them make me 3 salads. I didn't ask for anything special just three salads. So to the young Caucasian man wearing glasses in the red tshirt and yellow writing working on 6/8/2020 this woman of color did NOT appreciate you throwing the utensils back into the squares and your huffing and puffing at me and your cold agitated service. I understand we all have bad days but at least curb your aggression. You made me feel very uncomfortable in the 1.5 min I had to "spend with you". This makes me not want to return to freebirds. EVER. read more

I eat here most days. Collin is the coolest guy ever and rolls the best burritos. Aside from the employees they also have promos through out the week. Kids eat for free on sundays and if you show them your tattoos on Tuesdays (tattoosdays) you get free chips and salsa. Shout out to Collin again for being awesome. read more

I know for a foodie it's a little strange for me to have waited this long to try this restaurant. Ordinarily I try to make it to any new eateries within a week or so of it's opening. Anyway, I've heard from various people how great the burritos were here; on Friday I decided to try it out. I'm a fan! The toppings were fresh (an important detail since I went there at about 3:30 PM; well after lunch and before dinner) and the service was great. I was informed of items that were available for an extra charge (no surprises at checkout) and the cashier was kind enough o fish out an extra gooey brownie from the bunch! I will be returning for lunch this week. This time I think I'll forgo the veggies and add queso for an added umph! I'll let you know how my second run goes. I plan to get the chips and salsa this time as well. So far; so good!!! Yummy to my tummy! LOL read more

The food here is amazing! Collin explained the menu options to me and even offered samples. The beyond meat option was delicious so I had that. The restaurant was clean and the staff friendly! (Collin especially) read more

Not the best. My burrito was cold for one thing and overall it was just okay. If I had the choice of chipotle or Freebirds, I would recommend chipotle hands down. The chips were very good! read more
