Freight Fried Chicken

On the go chicken! Total wait time was only 5 minutes. Delicious! I love a good seasoning that is not overpowering. Also I think that it's important to not reply on your dropping sauce. Though that aioli is magic! The loaded potato salad is wonderful too! Excellent job!

THE BEST HALAL FRIED CHICKEN OPTION IN SAN ANTONIO This place opened its doors earlier this year and San Antonio is loving it! Located at the Pearl's Bottling Department, it's the only known eatery there serving a HALAL bone-in chicken option for guests! Chef Nicola Blaque, the creator of the concept & James Beard nominated chef, has done it again! Staff even mentioned that the fried chicken concept was also recently nominated for a James Beard Award Like all the other spots in the bottling department, the eatery is walk-up style, so you order at the window and wait for your food. There's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating at the bottling department, and all of it is constantly being cleaned so it's a pretty great place to be!Chef Nicola made her newest concept as inclusive as possible. The bone-in chicken options are HALAL & all of the chicken offered (both bone-in & boneless) is gluten-friendly too! They even serve up a vegetarian tofu "chicken" option! It's all so good and so many people are calling it the best fried chicken in town! Of course, the menu isn't complete without sides! Grab some mac 'n' cheese, seasoned fries, potato salad (ask for without bacon bits if you eat halal) & more! For historical context, Freight Chicken was inspired by black women who sold fried chicken in post Civil War America to rail passengers traveling through Gordonsville, VA. These women, dubbed "Waiter Carriers", had chicken recipes so famous that travelers would go out of their way just to try it! The fried chicken sales helped formerly enslaved women in terms of financial independence & racial progression! **ONLY bone-in chicken is halal, boneless chicken is not halal. Menu has clearly labeled it's halal & vegetarian options for your convenience **

For the price I wouldn't recommend. The chicken strips were bland and over cooked. Only thing I enjoyed were the fries.

Was at the Pearl Food Hall for dinner and tried Freight Fried Chicken. The person behind the counter was very friendly when I ordered a d I received a text when my order was ready to be picked up at the counter. The fried chicken was very moist and flavorful. I had ordered the 3 piece basket which came with 3 thighs, a side (I ordered Mac N Cheese) and a fountain soda. The Food Hall was a very fun place to dine. It gave food court vibes but without the typical fast food restaurants.

Had a great experience at Freight! Always on the hunt for gluten free options, it was surprising to find a place that was offering up fried chicken. Not only that, but delicious too! The chicken was perfectly juicy and the crust had a good flavor. The fries really threw me for a loop! Unique to any fry I've seen before, the shape was just as fun as it was flavorful. While visiting on a Friday night, our wait time was much shorter than expected, and everything came out great. The only unusual thing is while they pride themselves on gluten free chicken...not all items on the menu are gluten free so there is a really easy potential for cross contact or to mistakenly order a gluten item. Not the biggest deal if you are only dealing with an intolerance, but in the case of a gluten allergy I'd definitely look into the menu a bit before ordering!

I was SO impressed with this chicken!! My hubby and I took a detour after visiting a friends grand opening and wanted to grab a bit to eat before heading home. The food court at The Pearl never disappoints. This chicken is gluten free, super crispy, fresh, hot, amazing! I love the pickles they serve with it and the dipping sauce. It was not dry at all. Keep in mind that this is a food court so you may have limited indoor seating and might have to do outdoors. The service was great they were very kind and informative. I will definitely be back!

Great customer service with OK food. If I decide to eat here again, I'm definitely going to request that food and side dishes are not garnished with green onions and chives. It was too much and unnecessary. My child wasn't a fan. I ordered the tender basket and the chicken needed the side sauce. Tip: if the line is long, order online and save time. They'll call your name at the pickup window.

We've been wanting to try this place since it opened, but just never got to up until 2 wknds ago. It was a busy day (so many people) so we waited in line just to find out that they were out of chicken! It was only 6:30pm which I thought was early. Ended up getting tenders and mac and cheese. The cook on the chicken was good, but I felt like the breading was bland. So many people raving about the chicken here, but I was left underwhelmed. Also, everyone behind us got their food first and we got ours last.

Tried this place for the first time, and I was disappointed. I ordered the 3 piece chicken and 1 side. The chicken tasted like it had been sitting for a while. I asked the manager about the chicken and he said they needed to make more but it would take 18 minutes. I asked him why wait until you are out of chicken to start making fresh chicken and he just ignored my question. The chicken was a little cold and lacked flavor. The best thing I ate were the fries. I don't recommend this place

Wow just wow. I love chicken tenders and these were flavorful and WELL seasoned. Loved every bite! The Mac was creamy and delicious. Corn was crisp and yummy. The biscuit is TO DIE FOR. Buttery flaky, and yet moist at the same time! The staff were friendly and helpful. I loved the packaging and the way they take care of their plating of even their to-go orders.
