Howdy Child

Wow!!! What an amazing experience. As a Jew, experiencing smoked pastrami was life changing. It's got incredible flavor and is super juicy! The staff have been very friendly the couple times we went. I was sad the menu online did not match what they were serving. We really wanted to try the beef tallow potatoes (I think that's what it was), but the pastrami sandwiches were so good it didn't even matter...We have also taken to getting a couple lbs of their pastrami when Pullman has their caraway onion rye bread available and the combo is out of this world. Definitely a restaurant worth visiting regularly!

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!

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 :)

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.

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. :)

The pastrami Reuben was 5 stars! The veggie sandwich and smoked chicken salad were fine, but not great. Definitely go for the pastrami. I do wanna try the chopped brisket next time, as well. Nice, quick option when you are visiting the park.

This gem in the Pearl Food Hall is terrific! Great sandwiches and the best homemade chips you'll ever eat. All delivered with a smile. Go there!
