This isn't my regular location to visit but it's the one I visit for lunch during the work week. The lobby is always clean and quiet, the workers are always cheerful and fast. I love Freebirds burritos and burrito bowls whether it's lunch or dinner it's always good and filling.

First off….. the music is TOP notch. Food is great. Whatever you are paying Sierra is not enough! Hardest worker we have ever seen and she had some great recommendations. Honestly service alone would have us come back.

Almost didn't stop by, I used to come here many years ago before I retired. Glad I did. The Birria burrito freebird bowl was really good and a great value. Queso and chips added to a really good meal. Service was great, music a bit loud, but good an not drowned out by mechanical noises heard in a lot of places. Cheers.

Love their freebird burritos, especially when they are $5 through the app. when the stars score 3+ goals in a game. The steak and the jalapeño sausage is my go-to. Highly recommended. Sometimes I just wish the servers would give out bigger portions on my burrito or bowl

Hanson did an EXCELLENT job making me a GLUTEN FREE Burrito bowl. He washed his hands and changed his gloves. No cross contamination. We love the WONDERFUL customer service here at Freebirds in The Highlands. We will be back again. Thanks Hanson BTW the food was delicious

Came in late at night with my sister, right as they were about to close, and the service was top-notch. We asked if it was okay to still order, and the girl behind the counter smiled and said, “Yeah, not a problem—I still have food out.” She was super kind and welcoming. My sister got the steak burrito bowl, and I got the all-white meat chicken bowl—both were fresh and flavorful, just like we remembered. We also asked for guac, but there wasn’t much left. She offered to slice up an avocado for us, which was incredibly thoughtful. We told her it wasn’t a problem and to just use what was left—she made it work and even packed a little extra in a to-go container, free of charge. To top it all off, she gave us a free brownie—so good! Honestly, can't complain about anything. The bowls were as good as always, and the service made the experience even better. We’ve been going to Freebirds since we were kids in California, and it’s still a favorite.

Really damn good burritos. It seems there is always an issue with redeeming rewards from their mobile app at this place. They always figure it out but this should be fixed. Great atmosphere and they have Cherry Coke!! Many choices of meats and toppings for your burrito or bowl. I've been coming here since they first opened and ill keep going. One of the best places in The Highlands for a quick bite!!
