    Turkey Olive pesto and brisket sandwich
    Peter L.

    Howdy Child is located inside the food hall in the Pearl. Depending on the day you go, it can be packed or not too busy at all. We came here on a Monday night so it wasn't crazy busy. They specialize in sandwiches. We got the Turkey Olive Pesto sandwich and the Brisket sandwich. They serve it on a sourdough bread milled from local farmers. Texture was good. Flavours were as expected. I liked the turkey pesto better than the brisket cause it wasn't as salty and had more flavor. They offer a 10% military discount :)

    I researched places at the foodhall and this place was mentioned. I went on a Sunday, and since they have BBQ on the weekends that's what I ordered. I asked the person at the counter what is good here and what is recommended. I ordered the single plate which consists of 1/3 lb of pastrami, bread, pickled veggies, and BBQ sauce. The pastrami was alright and I liked the portion size of it. I also got the Mac and Cheese as the side, which I wish had more taste to it.

    Howdy Child serves the best pastrami in town! This delicious eatery is located inside the Food Hall at Bottling Department, but they also set-up a little pop-up during the farmers market. They are not located where most of the other food vendors are which I think is the main reason why they haven't received a lot of exposure. I was walking by their table and they offered a sample of their brisket. One bite was all I needed to know I had to get one of their pastrami sandwiches. For my first time I decided to go with half of their classic pastrami. The sandwich was absolutely perfection and by far my favorite thing I've tried at the farmers market. The meat was so tender and flavourful. I was blaming myself for not ordering the full size. The staff was also great, and they told me all about how they work with local farmers, not only for their meat but also their produce. It is nice to know a restaurant like theirs is supporting our Texas farmers.

    Chicken salad sandwich with foil [in napkin].

    Ordered the "Smoked Chicken Salad". The photo was drastically different than the sandwich in real life (nothing too serious). The chicken was moist, but insanely unseasoned and lacked any dimensional flavor It was good with Texas Pete from the BBQ restaurant nearby. Plus the digital menu at the register says the sandwich is $12, but when ringing us up, it was $12.99 - disappointed predatory pricing. As I bit into the sandwich, I felt something crunchy - out I pulled a piece of foil! [Pictured in the napkin]. My meal did not have any foil whatsoever so it killed my appetite. I spoke to the person who rang me up and another employee offered a refund or to remake it fresh. I declined both since I ate most of the sandwich already, and I didn't want to eat from there again unfortunately. Just needed to mention in case someone swallows it and cuts their throat internally. I would not recommend!

    Quick service, friendly staff, and fabulous salad. The perfect amount and a good variety of items. Thank you!

    Probably one of the better Reubens I've had, I mean the bread to the cheese to the ratio, super delicious sandwich. Great customer service and they always seem very friendly despite how busy it gets. It's tucked away in a small food court at the Pearl and although it's small and crowded such a cool place to be. The vibes are positive and everyone is there to have a good time. Lots of dogs around and kids. Back to the Reuben, to me it's the best sandwich to get in the entire food court the only thing I'd change and wish they would add is a pickle spear that would just top it off. Please add that to the dish! Thanks for the great eats!

    First time trying Howdy out we had a pastrami sandwich that we shared because we didn't know if it was gonna be too large. I could've ate my whole one by myself. It was delicious. It was juicy. It was perfectly toasted. Looking forward to going back again. must try. It's inside the cafeteria at the Pearl.

    Came here to grab food before seeing a show at Stable Hall. Heard to get the Pastrami, so went with the loaded Hot Pastrami Sandos with fries. Order did not take long to be ready and enjoyed a nice February night outside.

    This was my 2nd time having Howdy child. Both times did not Disappoint at all. It's inside the food court at the Pearl. With so many delicious options to eat I still crave and dream about their Reuben/pastrami sandwich. This time around my husband and I tried half and half of the Reuben pastrami and the pastrami only! I loved both now I have to try something new when I return. I will have to say, the reason I didn't not give it 5 stars is because it doesn't come with any sides. My pointed out that a simple pickle spear would make such a difference and is definitely cost effective! Especially for their sandwich price! I usually get their sweet tea as well and it's also so yummy! Service is prompt despite how busy it gets at this food court. They have a texting system to notify the order is ready. The ambiance here is top notch as well with both indoor and outdoor seating. Very aesthetics pleasing inside the food court and the outdoor is beautiful as well with the Emma hotel as the backdrop with additional seating and shops all around. We opted for outdoor since we had our pup with us and the TX heat was brutal (warning). Overall great experience! I love it here and highly recommend! My family was recently visiting SATX and they enjoyed it here as well. :)

It's the kind of place folks drift into and, before long, start calling their own. The people there carry themselves with quiet pride--no fuss, no show--just a steady hand at their work and a genuine welcome for whoever steps through the door. The menu ain't thrown together. It's been shaped with care, like a well-tuned string on a guitarra, each choice meant to stand on its own but better still when taken together. The flavors come through bold and honest, with a little flourish here and there--nothing overdone, just enough to remind you somebody back there knows what they're about. It's a small spot, sure, but that only draws folks closer. Feels a bit like gathering under a shaded porch after a long day--easy talk, shared laughter, and the sense you're among friends, whether you've known 'em years or just met 'em. Every greeting carries the warmth of old ties, like you've been welcomed back rather than simply let in. And the food--well, it doesn't hold back. Each bite's got a richness that settles in and makes you slow down, take notice, and then go back for more. It's the kind of meal that stays with you, the way a good story does. Spend a little time there with friends, and you'll come away knowing you've found something true--a place where the spirit of San Antonio, with its charro heart and neighborly ways, lives on in every plate set down and every hand extended in welcome.

    Unpopular opinion incoming: I'm not overly impressed. A good sandwich is one of my favorite things,…read moreso this joint's been on my radar for a while. So, when co-workers wanted to go yesterday, I jumped on it. Don't get me wrong. I love the vibe of this place. I LOVE their story. It's very NY/Northeastern deli feel (they're from Pittsburgh, but you get my drift, right!?). No nonsense. Small inside area. No tables inside. Just enough room to look at the menu, order, and go wait outside. I opted for the chicken bacon ranch on hoagie. What came out was a decent size sandwich, but incredibly messy and soggy. There was so much juice/ liquid the sandwich quickly became unmanageable and just disintegrated. Look, if you're going to serve a sandwich that messy, please upgrade your napkins. It was a one bite - two napkin ratio. The sandwich was good, but the mess and difficulty eating it just took away any enjoyment. Additionally, the flies outside rivaled the worst I've experienced. Do you remember the scene in the Lost World, Jurassic Park movie when the hunters found the Rex nest!? Okay, okay, maybe not that bad, but it was a lot. Hang some fly bags or strips or somethin'. Found price to be a little high. By the time I bought chips and a drink, plus tip: $22. Just FYI: my co-worker disagrees. He thought it was the BEST SANDWICH HE'D EVER HAD. So, yes, go give them a try, but bring a beach towel for clean up.

Yes I stopped to get a meal and was denied the military discount because I was not in uniform.. Not to many military bases are near this place to even be able to take advantage of this Military Uniform discount. So much for SATX being a Military City. There was not a single person in military uniform there. This place should just be upfront & say No Military Discount Vice oh You Have to be in Uniform for a discount. Also it's very loud, it was very hard to communicate while placing my order & asking about the Military Discount.. I had to raise my voice & repeat the order numerous times. Vice oh you have to be in uniform. So Military Brethren's beware of their Military Discount clause. Also my order/number was overlooked by 5-6 numbers after me. To the point where I standing in front to pick up my order & was asked what do I want. I replied you completed five order after me & im waiting for my order. 2 of the 3 sandwiches I order were placed & ready at that counter for a good while before I stood at that counter.

    Avoided due to anticipated problems with parking…read more Pearl is so filled with affected and editorial instagram locals in some sort of daily cosplay of care free affluence when in fact many are broke as hell. There are others mainly business class or tourists but they stay at Hotel Emma and definitely have money, or their employer's corporate card. Then there are the real carb eating customers who are there to actually consume goods. I finally had a free weekday to go to Pullnam now two years after they opened and loved my experience. Parking in the Pullman market was easy. It really is $0 with validation and for up to 2 hours. I was looking for ground flax, they only had whole. Looking for cinnamon infused honey, they did not have. Just weird shit like lavender infused. I enjoyed the elevated feel of the place, very transporting and nicely curated with so many spaces in and out doors to sit and people watch or just hang out with friends. Ate at Fife and Faro for a simple pizza and pomodoro pasta.

Surprised in a bad way by the chicken sandwich. Could not believe that the Pullman Market would serve compressed chicken instead of a real chicken breast. Tasted like manufactured chicken. I should have said something that day and asked for my money back, it was so bad. Do not recommend. We love shopping at the market, and were excited to try one of the establishments inside. Very disappointed.
