I'm another Freeper living in College Station. Chicken Oil and Wings-N-More will give you the best flavor of Aggieland. C&J's is good too. Another good BBQ place is Martin's, but is very small. It's been there forever -- run by the same family for 50++ years. Another Ag favorite. Good prices, too. No, 'most' of the Freebirds' patrons don't have spiked hair and body piercings, but it does have more of a 'liberal' feel. Never knew that it had an Austin linkage, but now I know why I always did take-out. However, I liked the food. Might be interesting to have a group of Freepers invade the place.

I think that weekend it will be rather quiet around campus because there is not a football game that weekend and some of the kids may be leaving for an early Thanksgiving break. So unless there is an event I'm not aware of, the restaurants shouldn't be real crowded. Bryan/College Station lives and breathes with the comings and goings of the students.

You can also check out the A&M website (www.tamu.edu) to get maps and other info.

The way I hear it, Freebirds started out in Long Beach, CA. Then, somebody bought out the business and moved it to College Station. It was well-established in CS before they opened up another location in Austin.

Thanks for the info. I hope you can join us. IIRC, Chicken Oil is up College Main? Wings-N-More(what does the more represent?) is across the main campus entrance on Texas Ave.
I remember a Freebirds on Northgate but the seating was a bit limited. BTW, it's actually the employees with the spiked hair and body piercings at the Austin location(even more so than the Thundercloud Subs). It really makes you wonder where they recruit. I think Constitutionalist Conservative mentioned that C&J's was 2 miles east of Post Oak mall on Harvey(I don't remember anything being east of the HWY6 Bypass)
