Stopped by on a Thursday for lunch and had the absolute best wedge salad I've ever had!

We've been here a few times and it's always been a bit slow service and the food is just ok - but it's convenient when at Tomball events. We came here tonight for Tomball Night and they were fairly empty, they go to seat my husband, myself and our baby and we say we'll need a high chair or booster, and it's then they tell us that the (2) they apparently have are both in use. We see the table in question that has both, one of them has a backpack sitting on it. But apparently that other party's backpack deserved the seat more than we did with an actual baby, and then why a restaurant that large would have 2 seats for babies in such a baby friendly area is also dumb. Won't ever be back, food is nowhere near good enough to put up with the service or lack thereof. read more

Fun place, service was pretty good, nice, smiling hostess and waitresses. It was this past Tuesday. Breakfast tacos were abysmal. Eggs were cold but worse, it was all covered in some thick, mayonnaise based pink sauce that was supposed to be chipotle. How do you screw up a breakfast taco? Well, they did. My wife got a chicken salad sandwich, which was just meh. We both worried that we would be throwing up or the other type later but thankfully not. Must have been why there were so many empty tables at lunchtime. Have all the Latinos in Tomball been deported or something? Every one of them knows how to make a decent breakfast taco. I really don't understand all of the other reviews giving this place 5 stars. We will not be going back. read more

Market Street Grill is one of the Tomball must go to restaurants! Such cute ambiance and friendly staff. Family friendly and you can even bring your dog when you sit on the patio outside. The food is so yummy and just an overall staple in Tomball to sit back and let the waitresses take care of you with the smiling faces! read more

We tried this place for the first time today as the menu looked good. We ordered the Caesar Salad and the Cheese Steak. The Cheese Steak's bread was soggy all the way through and the meat was roast beaf. The salad was made with green leaf instead of romaine. The plates were soaking wet and the drinks were flat. I paid $60 and left all the food. The service was good. read more

We visited the Fl Keys last year and spent a week trying to find the best Key Lime pie. This pie in the photo beats them all. Crust is light and the Key lime is tangy and tasty. I had the spinach and mushroom quiche which also came with a nice bowl of fresh fruit. My husband had the meatloaf, which is also served with mashed potatoes and green beans again all house made and it was perfect. Gabby was our server and has a winning smile. Family owned, proud and eager to give you an excellent experience. read more

We started with strawberry and pomegranate margaritas. They were good. Strawberry was very sweet. The food was very good also. We had sandwiches. Mahi mahi , turkey Blt and a turkey sandwich. They allow several substitutes instead of chips. We requested a side salad , sweet potato fries and fruit. All were good as well. They have indoor and outdoor seating. read more

This is hidden spot off Main Street so I decided to try it out. The waitress staff were really cool and down to earth. We sat outside the weather was real nice! Their outdoor seating is close quarters to other guest but people around you are nice. The appetizer ordered was the Smoked Salmon Dip, it was decent it was WAYYYYY too much cream cheese. The stuffed jalapeños were a treat though so I'd recommend them. The lamb burger was .... Ok... lacked so much of flavor. I would try to give them another try though.. read more

First and foremost, we always seek out locally owned businesses, and this little spot in the heart of downtown Tomball has been on our radar for awhile and we finally made it in. I will agree with some of the other reviews, it's a bit overpriced. The burgers are between $11-15 dollars and served with potato chips. If you want fries, and who doesn't?, you have to pay a significant upgrade charge, I'm thinking it was at least $3, maybe even $4. With that being said, the burger was really good, and the French fries were also delicious. That's the hard part of this review, great food, yet still feels like it's too much $$. The staff was great, the restaurant cute, good country music, a very nice experience. A solid 4star review from my visit. read more

Came here Saturday for lunch with my husband. He was really excited to try it as we always see it when walking to Fire Ant. When we got there around noon, they were slammed as expected being Saturday. We waited a few minutes for a table which was fine. When we were seated we were given one menu for us both to share. This is usually fine, but since it was our first time we both kinda wanted to look for a while so it was annoying to share. Our waitress took our orders- we started with fried okra, then I got the curry chicken salad with chips and my husband got the chicken fried steak with potatoes and a side salad.The whole reason we went was for the chicken fried steak, so he was pumped. The fried okra arrived after a while and we had to ask for silverware as we were never given any. Then I had to ask for ketchup because the sauce with the okra was weird. Then about 20 minutes later, I got my chicken salad and they told me husband his would be out soon. About 15 minutes later his chicken fried steak came. It was super small and was served with like a spoonful of mashed potatoes. He said it tasted like a frozen meal from a grocery store. Definitely not fresh. He barely ate his chicken fried steak because it was so gross. He then released he never got his salad and was still holding out some kind of hope for something good to eat. The waitress came up 10 minutes later and said the kitchen didn't have time to make his salad... A salad... No cooking required. She then said they would discount our meal since he never got the salad. They took $2.00 off our tab. This was the weirdest meal I have had in a long,long time... read more

Came here for lunch with family from out of town on a Friday. After sitting down it took 10 minutes to get drinks ordered and another 10 before they were delivered. Ordered immediately. Kids food came about 20 minutes later. They were done eating before the adults got their food. Everyone enjoyed their food. I had the curry chicken salad sandwich. It was very tasty but was impossible to eat as a sandwich because the chicken chunks were way too big and needed to be cut with a knife. It's a cute restaurant with seating inside and out. I just hope we have better service if we return. read more

This was a really cute place in the Tomball area. We had fast service and very friendly waitstaff. We had Emily as our server and she was very quick and always checking in on us. We stopped in after shopping on Main Street. You won't be disappointed in your dining experience here. The food was good and the had big portions. To go box needed read more

On July 6th I rsvp'd to a private event at this restaurant, that evening also happened to be the Tomball Sip and Stroll. The event organizers left my name off the list so we were not allowed to enter the building. We stayed to eat and support the business since the private event was turning people away. When my minor child got up to use the bathroom, he was denied access to the building. We had already verified there were bathrooms available for patrons. The woman at the door told my son to wait for the guard. The guard did not return during this entire conversation. Frustrated, my husband opened the door and told our son to go use the bathroom. Our son told us he saw the guard sitting down inside with no intention of moving. During the conversation with the woman at the door, not an employee of the restaurant, she began verbally attacking me. Making rude comments about my looks and ultimately telling me to F*ck Off. You can imagine my shock. When I called the restaurant to discuss what happened the staff was so surprised and shocked and apologized profusely. When the manager on shift called me back, the entire vibe had changed. The manager tried to deflect by saying they were not associated with the group holding the private event. The manager did not want to hear what was said to me, but I told her anyway. She wasn't rude, just deflected and didn't want to take any responsibility for the incident. If I'm a restaurant owner or manager I am very concerned about someone who is standing outside my doors interacting with paying customers. At that point they are representing your establishment. If not then you probably need to have an employee out there who will treat your customers with respect instead of slinging verbal abuse at them. Our server was absolutely wonderful and apologetic. Our food was very good. We will not be visiting this establishment again. I don't need that kind of abuse. read more

What an unexpected and pleasant surprise. We were meeting a friend for lunch at a nearby brewery in this area. Ah, but apparently the German Festival really wore out that staff, and they were closed on a regularly-scheduled open day. Obviously we needed a Plan B. Walked down to the end of the block and came upon Market Street Cafe. Yes, we've driven or walked past this location many, many times but were always heading to the brewery . . . but on this day, it was the closest option for lunch. A quick look-up on Yelp showed good reviews, so we decided to give it a try. Plenty of seating, and we were quickly brought to an empty booth. Serving staff was attentive and quick. Not an overly extensive menu, but enough to satisfy most palates. Several local beers on tap, too, which was a nice surprise. Prices were reasonable. Pulled pork tacos were actually pretty good. Served with a side of guacamole (which was a tad salty, and I like salted guac, but this was a bit too much), Spanish rice and pico de gallo. All had good flavors and was just the right amount for lunch. Burgers looked great, too, which is what others in my party ordered. After we finished, we lingered for quite a while before we left. We were never rushed or encouraged to leave, even though we had already paid the check. A nice experience, and a true hidden gem. Glad we finally gave them a try. read more

Cool little spot, very country vibe minus the prices. A bit overpriced for what it is. The service was good, she got our food and drinks out pretty quick. The queso is pretty thick. Pork tacos were pretty tasty as well. Very small menu and easy to choose from. I wouldn't suggest any of the cocktails. Both of ours didn't taste good at all. It's a place to stop in if your hungry but I would probably pass on a second visit. read more

My wife and I love supporting local business and Market Street Cafe is one of the best in the Tomball Area. Great owners, the staff is amazing and love the food. My favorite item on the menu is the Boudin Burger, all the elements fit so well together. I also love that they carry my favorite Vodka (Crystal Head) so I can enjoy a nice drink when I visit. I love the family vibe, it's warm and inviting unlike some of the other establishments in the area. They treat their customers right and stand by there word, highly recommend visiting if you haven't already. We have been fans since they opened and will continue to stop by and support. read more

Me and my lady have a drink and snack after a hard day of antiquing. Beer was cold and her Bloody Mary had flavor. I had nachos that were piled and she had the Greek salad. Nachos with chicken were good. No complaints. She liked her salad. The reason a 4 star is the price, I thought it was pricey for what we got. That's all. read more

We just left this place. Wish I would have read the reviews before we went. Got two orders of the French dip. Took one bite and spit it out in a napkin. My daughter also did the same. Sent it back and was told by server and manager the color was off and they were probably overcooking it. They apologized and we ordered something else. Had to wait another 30 minutes or more so at this point we are starving. Asked for a plate of fries to hold us over. Server brought us some but when we got our food, there were no fries on our plates. So yeah, that was super special of them. Give us crap food that they ruined TO THEIR OWN ADMITTANCE and then not bother to at least give us a plate of fries while they make it right. Moving forward..got the check, paid it and tipped well, even after all that. About to leave and server comes back to tell us ooops!! She ran the wrong check. She has to reverse it and recharge. It will take a couple days for the charge to fall off. NOPE!! Not my fault, not my problem! They didn't care. Manager (long brown hair in ponytail) was SOOOOOO RUDE!! Omg!! How does she even have that job!! She threw her hands up at me and proceeded to go charge my card. Again. Next manager steps into the picture. She made the first manager look great!! This one, wow, she was something. The most unfriendly, rude human ever! Oh, shoulder length brown hair. Told me the friends dip was just fine. It was my problem I didn't like it. I told her my server and the other manager admitted it was overcooked! She says "then your server must be having a bad day because our French dip is fine" !!!! Called my server over to tell her what she had told us about it being overcooked and THIS LADY LIESSSS right in front of my face!!! Says oh she just said maybe it was my preference I didn't like it when she came to our table and told us it was overcooked and they were sorry!! Wow!!! I told her your manager just said you're having a bad day because you said the beef dip was dry. She just stood there like a deer in headlights. Wish I could take my tip back!! The balls to lie right in front of a customer's face about what you JUST told their whole party!! Anyway, Had more words with this manager ( she was try to 'scare' me by being in my face. But, did she lick the wrong person! And what a great attribute to have as a manager!! The owners of this place should be sooo proud they have TWO managers in one shift running their business into the ground!! So, took my card and walked out. DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE!! TRASHHHHHH!!! read more

Chicken fried steak mashed potatoes and okra, but that's not the only reason I come here, inside or outside it's a nice place to come to eat what you don't want to make at home. Portions are large enough where you get to take something home with you too. No complaints. read more

Service was great, food not so much. I ordered the tilapia and it was COVERED in some white sauce that was too greasy and heavy for such a delicate fish. fried pickles has good flavor but the breading was too thick. read more

We wanted to try this place for dinner and at least we can say we tried. First my husband and I tried one of the margaritas they had advertised when we walked in. Honestly it tasted like juice. I don't think there was a drop of tequila in it. Our server took our order. I got a Greek salad with shrimp and my husband got the meatloaf with mashed potato's and green beans. If you want gravy on your mashed potato's that's 50 cents extra. I e never had a Greek salad that had pitted Kalamata olives!how awkward to have to chew on the olive and remove the pit. Our server did not check on us as we stared at her and made eye contact several times. She finally brought our food and we were able to order wine, since our fruit juice had been finished for a while. Overall the place is lackluster and service was not great for us. One bright spot was the hostess, she was friendly greeted us and even held the door open for us as we left. Not sure if we will try this place again. read more

I ordered the fish tacos the fish was so dry. Prices are not reasonable and portions are very small for the money Atmosphere was ok Food tasted ok. I've had better. read more

Enjoyed a great early dinner here out on the porch. Frankly, we had somewhat tempered expectations, given some mixed reviews, but all of them were exceeded. Granted, it's only one visit, but...it is what it is. Portion sizes were above average (we had burgers, turkey BLTs, mahi mahi tacos). Appetizers of fried okra, fried pickles, and chips/salsa were all good (nothing unbelievable). The sandwiches were above average -- turkey on the BLTs was seared on the edges, plenty of bacon, etc. Accompanying fries were top-notch, freshly-made (which is why I couldn't finish my sandwich). Only the mahi tacos got a somewhat-meh review. Our server, Ian, was fantastic, getting us everything we needed without hovering. We also appreciated his dry sense of humor. Given the summer weather approaching, we may not enjoy a meal on the porch for a while, but we'll be back to Market Street for another try. read more

I've been here twice and the service is top notch, but the costs for each meal are a little outrageous; i.e. two salads, two teas, and slice of peach pie costs almost $50?? We were a little blown away by that and don't plan to return. read more

Love this place, although it is now called Market Street Grill. Today I enjoyed the Hickory Chicken. Very good. Also, I like that they now have their liquor license! Really good White Russian. We will be back! read more

The food was decent but very overpriced for sandwiches. I had a chicken salad wrap and it's huge. Too big in my opinion. I would've preferred a smaller wrap with a side of fruit or something. I also don't get the carrot garnish on top of something you pick up to eat. Of course I just took them off but it was still a little weird to me. My husband had a BLT which was also very large and he seemed to enjoy it. We had the cheesecake for dessert and I would not recommend it as it is pricey and nothing special. It had a weird texture for a cheesecake and wasn't very creamy... my kids didn't care for it and they love cheesecake. They do have several options for kids which I appreciate. It has a nice atmosphere and a good variety but we probably won't go back because the prices don't match the quality. read more

Today was my first time dining in at market street cafe. The first time dining at a place can be a little intimidating. I walked into the wrong entrance, but was immediately guided by a kind host to be seated. My son was dressed as the mandalorian for Halloween, and one of the host brought over a coloring book that matched his costume! I was greeted by an awesome smiling server Aaliyah who recommended the chicken caesar salad. I was also greeted by the manager while waiting for my food who brought up cool activities in the area for me and my son to check out. The food came out and I was not disappointed the salad was delicious. Overall great experience friendly staff cool atmosphere very welcoming. I most definitely will be returning soon ! read more

One of Tomball's little hidden gems. You can tell when the food has been cooked fresh. Takes a little longer but it's well worth the wait. I enjoyed everything we ordered. Definitely a must try.

Rip-off! We came Saturday afternoon and sat outside. We waited about 10 minutes for a waiter to finally take our drink order. Then another 5 for menus. They were arguing over who was getting our table rather than just bringing menus and water. We ordered the shrimp rolls for an appetizer, $8, 4 tiny egg rolls came filled with mostly cream cheese, disgusting. Then we got the beef fajita nachos. Ok, #1, you do NOT use grated cheese on nachos. They were all clumped together. #2, there was maybe 2 oz. of meat total on the whole order. What a joke! Mainly beans and tomatoes and onions on these. Again, not appetizing at all. Our waiter kept forgetting to bring our drinks and was kind of goofy. Very disappointed as this place looks really cute and could have potential. read more

Tomball is expanding and with that comes new restaurants. This restaurant is nestled in the new building next to the police department or as most of you know Granny's Antiques. The ambiance is casual with outdoor seating. So with this new environment you can appreciate that. It's eclectic and has a charming atmosphere. On occasion there may be a small wait billy it's not too bad. My hubby and I had lunch there on a Saturday. I had the grilled chicken salad. It was tasty with a nice salad dressing. It is a big salad so if you want to share this is plenty for two. My sweetie had the grilled quesadillas. It's simple, nothing too elaborate but hit the taste buds on a busy Saturday. They also have mimosas and Bloody Mary's for breakfast. They also have beer and wine selections. The service was a little slow on a Saturday but that's to be expected on a busy shopping weekend. We love Tomball and this cute restaurant is a precious place to stop. We'll be back! read more
