Was one of my favorite places to hang out when I lived in College Station....back in 1982

Went to the Chicken in 1994. It was unforgettable!

Bulletproof glass for the snake, love it! This channel is a gem

I remember bringing my dog into there in the seventies. Fun place. I don't remember food, though. Just big barrels full of saltines! Oh, and 35 cent Texas Pride beer on Tuesdays?

Don’t ever knock those little ideas to open up or start a business, they somehow turn into this one day 🤘🏽

Was TAMU class of 2002. Went in one Monday (surely I was a Junior or Senior of the age of majority by that time...) to drink a bit and my buddy pointed out a fellow female patron and said, 'She's smoking Marlboro Reds, she's beyond us'. Best memory (of many) I have of the place.

Sounds to me like they better put a bullet proof glass around Freddy, The guy said it himself, “if he goes on vacation you can tell by the burger”. You don’t want to train yourself out of a job but you also have to be sure to leave a legacy!

Fond memories from working there in early 90s. Don gave me my first real job. Worked at the Chicken and on his bud crew. Girls were in high school and they were then and I am sure now fierce like their dad.

Best times I EVER had when going to A&M

Freddy went to am to be a petroleum engineer and switched his major to burger flipper? Right on

I used to work there for Corey in 2002!! ❤can’t wait to go back one day

The daughter seems nice. Don was like 'Porky' Wallace in Aggieland though. I know of a few people that visited his office at the Chicken for unruly behavior or underage drinking. Worked for their sister store Chicken Oil Company in Bryan in the summer of '91. Won't go into details about my interaction with Don, but as far as I'm concerned, he was a terrible person and manager. Good food though, and other than him, I've got fond memories of working there. When at Northgate, we preferred Dudley's for our beer. Gotta love those Shiner chuggers.

Spent many late Friday afternoons at the Chicken back in grad school during the 70s!!

Closed that place down a few times between 83-87 but never had a burger there, though. I always went for the chicken fried steak.

My father knew Freddy and Don when he was at A&M in '84

Christ, I need more employees like Freddie. I’m surrounded by cry-baby millennials that I drink so I won’t throat punch them. Add this to my bucket list.

WHOOP makes me homesick for AGGIELAND

Real heart of DIXIE

Freddie is an outstanding person.

Need to try the Tijuana Fries while you are there. Excellent!!

Haven’t had a burger from the Chicken since late ‘84.

Headed there from Georgetown, Texas for a freddy burger stat!

I've never been, I guess I'm loading up and heading that way in 2019.

Can you get a double Freddy? That would be absolute burger heaven. Thanks Freddy!

Beef looks frozen. Gordon Ramsay would have a British fit

It’s been a long time since I was at Dixie Chicken. Damned if you didn’t make me hungry.

I worked for Don Ganter on “The Bud Crew” in the mid 80s

Thanks a bundle for another fab video and insight into Texas ! Shine on TCR

Every episode makes me hungry... um good!!

Love your videos need to come to Montana pure Angus fresh cut up and cooked we got awesome burgers and steakes best in the us

God Bless Freddie, the owners, and their father!

Definitely need to go there

Great video!!

Taste buds are 180 degrees out. Lol. But looks darn good!

@ 1:27 back when you could dunk your ring in the Chicken.

I made the mistake of calling Don Ganter “Mr. Ganter” once. He told me….”never call me that. I’m not as old as your daddy is” He was a tough boss who would give you the shirt off his back.

Nice series of videos.

That burger looks good

Why do good things have to be over 1360 miles away......

I don’t know about all these complainers and stories but when they first started serving food in the back, the burgers were better when Freddy made them. My friends and I would go up to him and say we wanted a Freddy burger. Don’t know why, but they were better. The girls have turned it into more of a restaurant than what Don and Donnie had. Kind of sad. I’ve been going to the Chicken since it opened. Beer on ice, pool tables in the back, dominoes up front. Cheese and crackers. Jalapeños. And my favorite, the hot links. Couldn’t walk through the place on most nights.

He ate it upside down. That affects the flavor.

I love the Bryan/College Station area. I love the Aggies, but I love Bama more.

Spent a lot of time here and in fitzwillies.

Going soon. TY!!

Hello sr. Have you ever made a video on the copper caboose from Lubbock texas

We need one of your restaurant in Prescott valley

It's a college town. And I'm sure it did better about 7-8 year ago then it is now.

Freddy has job security. The current owners know that all it takes is for him to open up his own burger joint and quarter of their business is gone.

we'll never figure out what the secret spices are...bwahahaha...

"The Northgate District" LOL

set the snake free

I like my steak none season. No salt pepper just natural, why high blood pressure can't have any salt so I eat my food with out any salt.

had a great time there . burgers were great

3:47 Captain Spalding grew his hair out haahahah

Pre-Made frozen patty....what’s next microwave corn dogs

OMG this guy gained quite a few pounds ajaj

It’s only thing in College Station that’s worth visiting, my first time was in 1986. I’m not to impressed with the “new chicken” though they should have kept it the same.

WTF...??? No Ketchup in Texas or what...?

cheese on a cheeseburger what???

Wears his bear in hair net

The hostess is hot.

HEY People ! There was NO Ham Products in that 1/2 lb Ground BEEF Patty that Freddy makes those Burgers with ! They are just BURGERS or CHEESEBURGERS , NOT Hamburgers !!!!

Do they still have rattlesnakes ?

Save your statue and your name.

Hee haa

Nice vid, but you need a little xtra ketchup on the burger...are there any chicken at the Dixie chicken?

No pickels please

Texas is so damn big. I'm heading for Delaware. Rhode Island. Anywhere but Texass.

So freddy said fuck speaking English?

Gig em’ 👍🏽

Going to the Dixie Chicken and getting a cheeseburger, it's like going to Red lobster and getting a steak.

everything is better in texas!!!

Great episode, cool bar and grill.... burgers look absolutely delicious!!! freddy seems like a really cool guy..... but... 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽 .....I had to. #hookem

if food is on your list ..you need a new list

i gotta take a texas size dump after eating this meal...

Using Dixie in the name is greatly offensive. I demand they give me a delicious Freddy 1/2 pound burger or I'll hold my breath and stomp my feet.

Olny burgers, burger in your Texas....poor people.

Freddy is burnt out

This show should be called the Texas toilet list. The restaurants of choice is atrocious.

No self respecting Texas hamburger has mayonnaise. Texas is mustard country.

That ain’t cheese, it’s fake cheese

Looks like a frozen Wendys burger to me.

the cook has overstayed his visa.

Heart attack waiting to happen.

Should be against the law to put mustard AND mayo on a burger!
