The bartender was efficient but lacked the personality of most bartenders, and he's Old Fashion did not have the advertised large ice cube, no cherry, and was not made well. The bar was nice, but I did not care for oversized TVs in such a small space. The Tx Caviar was not well seasoned; we would not order it again. The Roasted Tomato Soup was thicker than my taste. It was better with the homemade croutons from my husband's Caesar Salad. He added Blackened Red Snapper to the salad that was lightly seasoned and overcooked. read more

For a hotel restaurant, the food is honestly very solid to the point where it may not be worth venturing out to eat! On weekends, they have a breakfast buffet, but I'm not really a fan of buffets (why am I subsidizing big eaters) and stuck with the a la carte menu. The Bacon & Egg sandwich is a pretty big and was tasty, with the chipotle aioli being a nice touch. The Chicken & Waffles is solid too, with the crispy chicken being the star! Great batter, which a nice touch of spice, and not at all dry. For lunch, I thought the Blackened Redfish on grits was very satisfying. I also recommend their Crispy Chicken Sandwich, which I asked for spicy. Very satisfying! It comes with a side and I chose Caesar Salad. I also had their Roasted Tomato Soup and was a big fan of the garlic chips garnish. Their Roasted Marble Potatoes are fine, if a bit mid. Their Charred Broccolini is worth getting. read more

Good food, slow service. Marc was the only one who was fast! The steak was good enough but not a very lean filet mignon. The sides that came with it very great. read more

My family and I stayed at the Omni for a week and we only ate breakfast and ordered coffee. I don't know how the other meals are but we loved breakfast. It was fresh foods and very tasty! Most of the servers were nice and some were amazing! It's clean and comfortable. They open at 6:30 am. read more

I've been coming to this restaurant for years but the day on 3/8/26 I was very disappointed. First off candy the bartender told me what a price was for a drink which was $8 then I came back for that drink one day thinking it was that price and she lied and said she never said that then when i place an order for the brisket boa tacos she came back and said the menu changed all of a sudden saying that they no longer have the brisket boa. Very upset so i left and ended up eating dinner at Willie G's her customer service was very poor read more

In Houston on a business trip and had to rely on the hotel restaurant for sustenance. Always iffy, even at nice hotels like the Omni. I was pleasantly surprised! Pulled up a chair at the bar, and was greeted quickly by the bartenders. Sadly, I don't recall their names but it was two males on this Wednesday evening. At check-in, the guest services person said she loved the burgers at Birdie's when I mentioned my starved state. I don't do beef, so she suggested the chicken tacos. I also asked the bartender if he recommended the chicken or fish tacos, fish tacos are on the bar menu. He also likes the chicken, so winner, winner, chicken dinner! The salad was surprisingly good! The greens came with watermelon radish (seriously?!), cherry toms, green onions, and a sweetish but yummy white balsamic vinaigrette. More dressing than I prefer, but not too much more, and my Warren would have wanted more, so... The tacos were good. Not great, but not disappointing. The chicken had a sweetish sauce and even with the small cuts, the meat was moist. They used sliced avo, which, for small tacos, an avo guac or cream would be easier to eat. Also had some chopped toms and a leaf of cilantro. One leaf. Lol! And also used only one taco shell, which I liked. I would have liked some hot sauce, and maybe they had it, but they didn't offer and I didn't ask for it, so bad on me. Overall, I'm sitting in my room with a happy full belly writing this review, so thanks Birdie and team! read more

Birdies Cafe & Bar - Side mixed greens salad and chicken . - New American Near Me - Houston, Texas

Birdies is the in house restaurant/bar for the Omni Houston. I had an early breakfast. The staff are excellent, always friendly and attentive. I had the Western Omelette with potatoes. Everything tasted as it should, no complaints but also nothing spectacular. As with all hotel food, it's on the pricey side, but you're paying for convenience. read more

Birdies Cafe & Bar - Western omelette with potatoes - New American Near Me - Houston, Texas

I was here at Birdies in February 2020. My mentor Jayzen P visiting from California for a speaking engagement at Omni Houston Hotel upstairs. He had a busy schedule and we decided to meet here for lunch. Atmosphere was nice. I remember the chair was super heavy. I had to wait for hostess to seat us. Service was slow that day. Food was pretty fancy. I ordered Beef Brisket Bao, just pure curiosity. It was 3 scrumptious steamed sweet buns hugged some delicious roasted beef slices and Chinese flavored slaw. So fusion. I really wanted to go back visit again after this CoVid19 pandemic. read more

Decent pricing and food for a Omni Hotel restaurant . Convenient and pretty quick. The salad was gross, but beyond that everything else was edible! I would not go out the way to eat here by any means but if you are staying there it's not a bad last resort read more

A mediocre lunch at this hotel lobby restaurant. At the hotel for a conference, the in-house restaurant is the go-to for a quick lunch. I selected the BBQ rib Bao. 3 to a serving, the steamed rolls are soft and moist, but cold by the time they reached the table. The BBQ was tasty, but dry. The Asian slaw was bright and fresh, as were the greens. Definitely room for improvement. Also tried the corn velvet soup with gulf prawn dumplings. I envisioned a creamy corn chowder but this was very thin and watery, with a sprinkle of corn on top. The dumplings (2) were good, but tasted more like pork than shrimp. Big peeve... The soup was served without a spoon. The server said "l'll bring you one right away", but never did. I had to flag down one of the wait staff. Not cool to let the food get cold waiting for utensils.... Next time I'll venture out instead of dining here. read more

I will say this the food is basic and not worth the price at all. Some portions were small and some were too big. They do not allow you to modify items and if you still want to change something you will be charged. Their menu is limited so if you are looking to please everyone in your party that may not be possible. I will say the food comes out quick. Service is so so, but should be better based on this establishments location and prices. I would not go back again. read more

You're better off ordering at the bar vs. getting room service. The service at the bar was great and the food was with it. I ordered the chicken sandwich and mac and cheese. Both were great and I'd recommend to anyone else in the area. read more

5 stars for the Bartender as well as the 8 0z fillet,potato's,asparagus. If you like steak this is the place for you. The menu doesn't have a lot of options. 3 stars for breakfast. Food was ok but staying in a hotel because you want room service only to find out they don't have room service. On the phone they say that they do have room service. It's a lie. Waffles, pancakes and sausage were good. Carmel latte was flavorless and boring, 0 stars. read more

I tried the breakfast, dinner and the bar bc I stayed at the Omni hotel for several nights. The food and drink quality was fine (dinner was better than breakfast), the service was a little slow. Three stars for overall food quality (it was about what you would expect from a hotel restaurant with a captive audience - not great but not bad). One star for price bc it was very expensive, especially for Houston where you can get much better deals. My husband ended up going to Rudy's one morning for breakfast tacos and he ordered a ton of food for about half the price of my breakfast here. The only positive is that the portions are average to small, so at least there is no food waste (we ate almost everything except the breakfast waffles - my kids didn't seem to love them). read more

Birdies Cafe & Bar - Got drinks for the pool - New American Near Me - Houston, Texas

Service here is just "okay." Neither here nor there which makes this place nothing to write home about. I came for lunch and had the kale pasta. The pasta was watery and made the texture hard to eat. I definitely could have made a better pasta at home and I don't cook. As soon as I took my first bite I knew I should have ordered something else but, unfortunately the menu is not very descriptive either, and feels like the blind leading the blind when asking for suggestions or recommendations. For service and food quality prices should be about 10% lower, would not return read more

I had my doubts early on due to lack of choices on the menu. However that quickly changes due to the professionalism and friendly staff. I'm not completely sure of everything I ate seeing as I don't get out very often but what I ate was completely delicious. Awesome awesome visit read more

Birdies Cafe & Bar - Ya know...I'm not real sure what this was but it came compliments of the chef. Was an OMG moment. Delicious! - New American Near Me - Houston, Texas

First, I think anyone considering Birdies should know not expect anything to happen fast. It took about 40 minutes to get breakfast while it was (unsurprisingly) not overrun with costumers. So factor in a half an hour or so waiting time when considering birdies. The food was not very redeeming. After waiting almost an hour, I was extremely disappointed with the low quality of food. The pancakes were sour, and the eggs tasted fake. The only thing worth a penny here is the potatoes. read more

The food, drinks and people were all good here but they must have had a lot of new employees because they were slow and confused about where everything was behind the bar and where to deliver the food. Hopefully this was a temporary issue and the servers will get trained. It's a good place for a hotel bar and grill. read more

Birdies Cafe & Bar - Lobster wedge salad. - New American Near Me - Houston, Texas

The staff has been very nice and attentive, the interior is very upscale, modern, and clean, and the breakfast buffet is very good. It's $21 a person for the breakfast buffet if anyone is wondering. The convenience factor is what makes that worth it for me. There's a very large selection, they make omelettes to order, and they have the COVID-19 precautions setup well. read more

The hamburger was heavily seasoned. The best thing was the corn soup. Customers beware- my can of Sprite and cup of ice to pour it in myself cost $4. I would not go back. read more

the food was not that great and the service was horrible. we had a reservation for a small party on a Thursday night. they clearly didn't staff appropriately and didn't make any adjustments as they saw it wasn't working. I wouldn't come back for sub par food. read more

The food at breakfast this morning was satisfactory, but service was unacceptable. My wife ordered breakfast tacos and had to ask for salsa ... this is Texas and tacos come with salsa. I had to ask for butter and jelly for my toast. That also should have been automatic. Getting the check was another ordeal. Five minutes after my wife left I ask the hostess for the check. Ten minutes later the server finally brought it out. Next time I'll leave this hotel for breakfast anywhere else. read more
