#Fresas chicken full#

Times change.The food was exceptional the service was absolutely is absolutely worthless we had to tell our server 3 and 4 times if we needed anything and then he still forgot and another server had to do his job for him it was not particularly crowded and it didn't look like his station was particularly full it was particularly full it was just a lazy teenager being a lazy teenager bringing down the brand that those people work so hard to put together. Then why not proudly say it where all can see it? Though looking back on my 2012 blog post on Fresa's, I forgot they were under different ownership then. So I called as I was writing this up, and was told that yes, they are hormone, antibiotic free, and sourced locally. 27 reviews 437 of 1,958 Restaurants in Austin ££ - £££ Mexican Spanish. Now I don't see it listed on the menu or online (and they don't pay much attention to their Facebook page). Our family-style meals feature the highest quality pasture raised birds.

I remember when the drive through first opened several years ago, its hallmark was hormone and antibiotic free chickens. Fresa's Chicken al Carbon is an Austin-owned drive-thru restaurant serving wood-grilled, locally grown chickens, freshly prepared tortas, salads, sides, home-made ice creams, aguas frescas and choice beer & wine. I also got a quarter of a chicken, with rice and beans to take home, and while it was tasty for lunch the next day, it was certainly a small portion of meat.

Yes Fresa's is only a couple weeks old, so let's hope they're still just in the growing pains stages as far as service.īut as far as value, I am not sure it's there. Which is a shame, because my last experience at Launderette was delightful in every way. I spoke to my neighbor today, and she's been back to Fresa's since our visit, and she said both the service and queso were mediocre. While not every restaurant has to exhibit the gold-star Uchi levels of service, it would be nice if more restaurants paid attention to service from the get go and made it more of a priority. We had to flag down someone who was carrying a tray of five carafes to ask for one, to be given a slightly dirty look (seriously, my neighbor and I both caught it) and the response that those were for another table, and she'd get us one when she could. Nor was the carafe replaced automatically, and said server knew we still had dessert to come. The standard fowl is a light breed: cocks weigh 1.41.6 kg and hens 1.21.4 kg 2 the bantam is very small. There was no apology for the mess or wet purse strap from him nor the other two servers/bussers who came to sweep up the glass (or an inquiry as if either of us had been cut). There are both standard-sized and bantam Friesians. Our young server's comment was 'Oh, how did that happen?' though he must have known he clipped it while clearing plates. I immediately grabbed my purse and started drying off the strap, which was wet, but not damaged. It hit the chair where my purse was sitting and the glass broke. Fresas Chicken al Carbon is an Austin-owned drive-thru restaurant serving wood-grilled, locally grown chickens, freshly prepared tortas, salads, sides, home-made ice creams, aguas frescas and choice beer & wine.

I thought our server was quite decent up until the point he accidentally knocked the water carafe off the table as he was clearing our main course dishes. BOTTOM LINE: Fresas on South 1st is an incredible wedding venue Having the event space and catering all in one makes so much sense. I think we can all agree that the hallmarks of any good restaurant are the quality and consistency of the food and the caliber of the customer service. It was a very nice queso, gooey enough, but not slick like Velveeta. Their kids menu says items are for kids of all ages, so we took advantage of the tiny-sized chips and queso offering, which turned out to be the perfect size for two people knowing other food would be involved.

Currently, there are no happy hour specials, but hopefully that will change! We had the Rose Sangria and the Smoky Paloma, and were both quite happy with the quality of the drinks. The expansive patio has undergone a beautiful transformation, and with a table open near a cooling fan we opted to sit outside. My neighbor and I wandered over one recent warm weeknight. The team behind Launderette is spreading their wings so to speak with a full-service restaurant and expanded menu. Walk up to the takeout window or enjoy sit-down service in the indoor dining area or the dog-friendly outdoor patio all three tout the same menu, which is. I've always enjoyed the food at the original location at Lamar and 9th Street, though have never frequented it. I was excited to hear that Fresa's Chicken al Carbon was coming to my Bouldin Creek neighborhood, taking over the old Freddie's location at 1703 South First Street.
