Cult-favorite chicken chain <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bojangles.com\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Bojangles<\/a> is headed to the Far West Side to open its newest San Antonio restaurant.<\/p>\n<p>The wildly popular North Carolina-based chain made its <a href=\"https:\/\/sanantonio.culturemap.com\/news\/restaurants-bars\/bojangles-first-san-antonio-location\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Alamo City debut<\/a> in 2023 at 8730 Potranco Rd. At the time, the company stated it would be the first of three area storefronts \u2014 part of a Texas expansion plan. After heading to Seguin, it kept that promise with an <a href=\"https:\/\/sanantonio.culturemap.com\/news\/restaurants-bars\/bojangles-second-location-opening\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">April opening<\/a> at 3003 SW Military Dr., but it seems it\u2019s not through with Alamo City just yet.<\/p>\n<p>Once open, Breakfast visitors will be able to score buttermilk biscuits topped with bacon, egg, and cheese; country ham; or sausage. And, of course, the new outpost will offer the chain\u2019s signature peppery fried chicken with Southern-style sides like coleslaw, dirty rice, mac &#8216;n&#8217; cheese, and Bo-Tatos, Bojangles&#8217; circular hashbrown-tater tot hybrids. <\/p>\n<p>None of the Texas locations, however, offer bone-in chicken. When corporate heads announced the statewide expansion, they said the chain would streamline the traditional menu, focusing on best-sellers like tenders and chicken sandwiches.<\/p>\n<p>According to a new Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation filing, work on the former Arby\u2019s will wrap up in December, though that should be taken with a grain of salt. Projects often finish early, and just as often are delayed by permitting and other issues.<\/p>\n<p>But local fans should keep a close watch. Bojangles regularly celebrates its launches with free gift cards, swag bags, and giveaways. And it is a custom to hold special services for first responders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A former Arby\u2019s at 11043 FM 471 is tossing out the Horsey Sauce and stocking up on peach&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":357729,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[1808,11957,3453,423,82,84,83],"class_list":["post-357728","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-antonio","tag-chains","tag-chicken","tag-far-west-side","tag-openings","tag-san-antonio","tag-san-antonio-headlines","tag-san-antonio-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/357728","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=357728"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/357728\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/357729"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=357728"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=357728"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=357728"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
