    I posted my review a day or so before Scott W. so I don't know why he's credited with the first to review. We've come by again so I'm updating my review. The last time we went to the location is Nassau Bay it was so chaotic I didn't want to go back. When we arrived there was only one other table of customers, so there's no worry about chaos here. I fear this place won't survive unless something changes. There's table service here, much the same menu as #1 and the food is as good, maybe better. Not sure why they don't have more customers. __ We've eaten out every meal for 30 years

    Eggs Benedict for $16+ and it came w/a piece of blue rubberband at bottom of hash browns.  I highly do not recommend this place.

    Hash browns tasted a little funny, piece of blue rubber-band at bottom of hash browns and an Eggs Benedict for $16+. Will never come here again. Don't even deserve a star.

    Store front

    Stopped in based on other reviews and close to appointment nearby. Breakfast all day, ordered Eggs Benedict with Hollandaise sauce and side of Bistro hashbrowns. Not impressed. Hasbrouck were not edible...stale or old taste to them and too crunchy on outer edges. Almost seemed like they had been pre-cooked and microwaved before plating. Considering it is a "signature" side, I expected them to be edible. As for the eggs Benedict it: eggs were perfectly cooked, English muffin was fresh and good, however the dish was covered in some sort of spice like paprika and was overkill. Doubt I would return. At the end when asked how is everything, I mentioned the hash browns, she said so sorry and nothing else. Then asked if I'd like a "to go" for them. They could have at least offered to adjust ticket for price of the side.

    Homemade chicken salad on homemade croissant. Delicious

    Don't let this little hole in the wall fool you. Everything is so delicious. The restaurant is very very clean. Everything from the ceiling tiles to the floor is spotless. My vanilla latte was prepared perfectly. The presentation of your meal on the plate is quite an eye catcher. With my soup I received some large croutons on the side. I had almost finished my soup then decided to take a bite of the croutons. Wow All chickenthese croutons were seasoned specifically for the delicious creamy homemade vegetable soup. While speaking to the waitress I was told that everything from the croutons, soups to the croissants are all home made here in the kitchen. The background music is elevator/doctors office music. My only request would be the music to be not quite so loud. To most it would not be loud but I really don't like hearing music while I'm trying to eat anyways. But that's just me. But definitely stop by and try this place.

    Many coffee choices - latte, americano, cappuccino

    Several breakfast options from waffles to omelettes and other breakfast plates. Service was quick and food was hot. I really enjoyed the Mediterranean omelet and hash browns. I recommend the buttery, flaky croissant - perfect with a drizzle of honey. Coffee was good. Place was clean. I will return to try the waffles.

They had a lot of daily specials to choose from. We both ordered from the brunch menu. I ordered The Alamo.

I've been wanting to try Main St. Bistro, so when my sister suggested it for Easter, I was down. We had a party of 7 (5 adults, 2 kids). We got there around 1:00 on Easter Sunday & didn't have to wait long even though it was busy. A man took our drink order. My brother-in-law asked to go ahead & order two appetizers. Our waitress, Natalie, came shortly after, introduced herself & confirmed the appetizers. We were brought 4 small cubes of banana bread, which felt weird since there were 7 of us. My toddler & my niece both had a whole one. The other two were split between 4 adults. My brother-in-law didn't have any. The appetizers came out fairly quickly & were gone just as fast. We finally ordered right at 2:00 after a little wait & indecisiveness. Then my son was done sitting in a highchair. My husband and brother-in-law took the kids outside. They played for a bit & walked two laps around the whole strip center. They came back, still no food. My son had a complete meltdown since he was both hungry & now tired, my brother-in-law asked if there was any way they could just rush my son's food. They did and he started eating, everyone was so hungry that they had some bites of his food as well. My mom went to ask the manager if our food was close to being ready. The answer was no, there was a whole list of orders ahead of ours. The manager was kind enough to bring us some spinach dip & apologized for the wait, explaining she was dreading today because the kitchen wasn't equipped for the Easter crowd. She assured us that they were working as fast as possible & we appreciated her honesty & effort. My mom went to her car & asked us to let her know when her food came. Our food finally started arriving at 3:17, and not all at once. My sister's meal came last. By this time my son was done & was getting restless while we had JUST started eating. The food itself was disappointing. My sister and I both ordered Benedicts. Mine (Boudin Benny) wasn't hot and was mushy instead of seared. Both of our poached eggs were undercooked. My sister's also had a large amount of cream cheese that wasn't listed and didn't taste good. Other issues: my mom's fries were cold, my brother-in-law said his chicken fried steak was no good. He ate it because he was hungry, and while my husband liked his sandwich & was happy with it, his fries were cold. My niece enjoyed her burger. My son's shrimp, fries, & macaroni were all hot and good... likely because they were rushed for him. It was 3:45 by the time we left. They close at 3. We received a 40% discount, but there was also a 20% automatic gratuity added, which some in our party didn't expect. Here's where they earn stars back... Natalie was great! She took great care of us & kept apologizing for the delay. We could tell that she felt bad, but it was not her fault. The manager also came by checking on us multiple times & got us settled as best she could. She brought us spinach dip while we waited & she made sure that my toddler got food very quickly after being asked about it. She did thank us multiple times for our kindness & patience. As did Natalie. I too, was appreciative of the kindness they showed us. Most of us have all worked in food service before & we understand that the wait staff can only do so much. We also understand being slammed in the kitchen & how fast paced they have to work in order to handle rushes. I appreciate the 40% discount... 20% after the tip. This review was based on one trip & I will update my review if/when I return. But this visit was definitely not a great experience & if it weren't for the kindness, I'd be leaving one star.

During our extended patronage, we have watched as the management team has performed well, and some teams haven't. But tonight I watched a young manager (Ridge Mercer...not sure of last name spelling), treat the place like he owned it. He was constantly on the move, and interacting with customers. I employ several hundred young men I another industry, but I've always had eye for talent. And Ridge is a keeper. Destiny our waitress was also very good.

I ordered my eggs over easy. They were extremely undercooked and still translucent, but I chose not to complain since that can happen with over-easy eggs. After roughly 45 minutes, my sausage and ham finally arrived. The moment I took a bite of the ham, I immediately noticed the unmistakable smell of rotten meat and stopped eating it. My father confirmed the smell himself. This ham was spoiled before it was cooked and was still served to customers. When we informed the general manager, Jim, he came to our table and stated, "That is the way the ham is supposed to smell." There was no apology, no concern for customer safety, and no attempt to remove the item from service. Instead, he chose to defend it and continue serving it to other guests. This is not a matter of opinion--it is negligence. Serving spoiled meat poses a serious health risk and can cause severe illness or worse, particularly for elderly or vulnerable individuals who may not immediately recognize the smell. Out of genuine concern for public safety, my father warned nearby diners who had ham on their plates. Customers should never be placed in a position where they feel obligated to protect others from unsafe food. At checkout, I again raised the issue with management. Rather than addressing the health concern, the manager defended the GM while employees behind the counter loudly whispered that I was "just looking for free food." That accusation is false and inappropriate. We spent nearly $200 on food and retail items. I only refused to pay for the $6 ham that was clearly rotten. My goal was not a refund--it was acknowledgment of a dangerous issue and an immediate stop to serving unsafe food. Management made a conscious decision to prioritize being "right" and protecting profit over basic human safety. That is deeply disturbing. I have owned and operated restaurants, and this behavior violates fundamental food-safety standards. I have filed a report with the health department and will be following up. This situation could have been resolved immediately with accountability and removal of the product from service. Instead, management chose denial and continued risk to customers. That is not just poor service--it is dangerous.

The entire food was just blahhhh, overpriced!!! $57 for chilaquiles, 3 waters, waffle and 1 egg!!! Overpriced and not worth it!! Seems like your alone at restaurant, staff at the back and just come out to bring plates and tell you to order at register. Ambiance chill and nice and music but not worth it! Pretty restaurant but not worth the price of food lacked flavor!!! And the employee pic is because the face of your restaurant is how they treat customers and it wasn't polite at all and not welcoming!!

However, my last experience with this establishment left a horrible taste in my mouth. Therefore, I am giving them an extra star for the previous experiences. On May 17th, 2026, my best friend and I had been looking forward to coming to Water Oak all day and had our taste buds set for the occasion. We were famished and had quite a day up until arriving. Upon entering the restaurant, we were very briefly greeted by the a Hispanic man who I assume is the manager and told that they were "no longer seating for the day". I glanced around and saw that every table inside WAS seated, however there were many tables outside that were empty. I asked about the patio stating that us where we preferred to sit anyway, and was met with that they were also not seating the patio at all for the rest of the day. However, there was a group of 3 women seated outside on the patio at that exact time. I didn't say anything, simply turned and left. After having "one of those days" hashing out something so minute with a person who clearly didn't want us in their place of business was not something I was about to do. Keep in mind, we came on a Sunday afternoon. Prime brunch time. We arrived at the restaurant around 2:30PM, and their website says they don't close until 4PM. I am a biracial black woman and my friend is white. I noticed a significant amount of White and Latino patrons, but a shocking lack of Black people. With Houston having one of the most diverse populations in the US, it is almost impossible not to see at least one individual of each ethnicity in a place at any given time. I am definitely not one that likes to pull the race card, because oftentimes that is not the issue. However, as someone who is familiar with the service industry I understand Sundays can be extremely overwhelming. And I am cognizant that not everything is that serious. But, I am also aware that a lot of people in the industry discriminate against people of color, with stigmas that we don't leave enough gratuity or we "don't fit the vibe of their establishment". And those 3 women seated on the patio? All White. After reading recent reviews, it seems that management is discriminating against people of color, more specifically Black folks. This is an extremely disheartening and sickening realization to make, seeing as I have given well over $1,000 worth of my money here but also enjoyed many meals without issue. To management: It breaks my heart to have to write this review and to be honest, I wouldn't have written it if I hadn't seen others posting about similar experiences in addition to also feeling discriminated against. I highly suggest that if you are "not seating" after a specific time, you announce this via social media or alert potential patrons with a sign or something of the sort. & obviously, there is such an issue with treatment towards POC that it is a noteworthy problem via your Google & Yelp reviews. You will have a much bigger fish to fry on your hands if you continue to let this issue go on unrectified. I would be willing to return if I felt things were to be changed for the better in the future! Hopefully this review sparks a much needed conversation and brings attention to an area which needs work.

The stars finally aligned and I was able to meet them here recently. My mom wanted to order some dolomades to start off, and I'm not really a big fan, so I just figured those would be all her. But she offered to let me try one, and I can easily say that these were the best dolomades I've ever had. She agreed. I have no idea what they do to make these not taste so "sharp" like they usually do, but these were really unbelievable. For my appetizer, and I went with a beef/lamb gyro and it was everything you want in a gyro. Soft pita bread, non-gamey meat and everything in between. The greek salad that came with it was pretty underwhelming, but I ordered a side of greek fries too, and those were what I was hoping they'd be. We finished off by ordering a few desserts to share. I went with the strawberry cheesecake as the one I was mostly focused on, and loved it. This is definitely not a frozen cheesecake - they make them in-house and it's obvious when you take your first bite. I understand why Athena's Corner has such great reviews and hope to be back!

The ambiance was nice as we walked in, and after being quickly seated next to a window, the atmosphere was nice. They did end up covering the window before we started eating, and the little bulb way above us and candle did not really provide light enough for us to eat (I get it is mood lighting, but I like seeing what I eat). The food was really solid, though. A few times I've been in the past it was all too salty, but this time around it was much better. I got the Farm Bird, and it was very juicy and had a very nice crunch. The Fish and Chips were nice and flaky, while the Pork Chop was extremely juicy and rich. The shrimp in the rigatoni was definitely oversalted, as well as the broccolini greens in the pork chop dish. The appetizers we got (Brussels Sprouts and Spinach Artichoke Dip) were both okay, though I prefer garlic bread to the chip for the dip and the sprouts were a little one note. The whiskey cake itself was very good, though I recommend only one plate for a group of 6 or less because of how rich it is, especially if you get the ice cream addition. Overall a very surprising experience, and while it carries a heavy price tag, it is absolutely a good choice if you're looking for a nicer meal out here.
