The Texas Bucket List - The Dixie Chicken

In Aggie land there is a place with a face that is a bit of a legend. This face is Freddy's and the burger with his name sake is as timeless as he is.

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

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

[@progrocker2112]

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.

Went to the Chicken in 1994. It was unforgettable!

Best times I EVER had when going to A&M

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

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!

Real heart of DIXIE

[@trailerparkcryptoking5213]

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.

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.

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

WHOOP makes me homesick for AGGIELAND

[@ronaldbrooks5982]

Freddie is an outstanding person.

[@getx1265]

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

[@VanTran-qz5kf]

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.

[@chriswilson9230]

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

[@thespankdmonkey]

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

[@thomasallen3818]

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