Egg and bacon breakfast sandwich
Alyssa G.

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.

Side mixed greens salad and chicken .

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!

Western omelette with potatoes
Richard M.

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.

Bun

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.

Bbq bao
Mike B.

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.

Got drinks for the pool

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).

Kale pasta
Lees D.

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

Ya know...I'm not real sure what this was but it came compliments of the chef. Was an OMG moment. Delicious!
Scott N.

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

4.5 stars if I could. Food…read moreFried mushrooms Super juicy and bouncy. They are delicious on their own without ranch in my opinion. 4/5 Hickory burger So meaty and beefy. Perfect if you are or not on your period. Fries were mediocre. 5/5 Veggie omelette Very filling with their hashbrown. Their hashbrown is fluffy and crispy from the brown edges. Extremely delicious with ketchup and pepper. 4/5 Chicken fajita omelette 4/5 (as told per friend) Didnt try but I guess I could trust my friend. It was hefty and had biscuit and hashbrowns! Key lime Pie 10/5 So good and light! The whipped cream was beyond fluffy and not stiff (didn't taste stabilizers) and the custard part was perfection and not too tart or too sweet! The graham cracker crust was sooo moist and I could eat the crust alone! Service 10/10 Lady was so kind and accommodating since we were playing card games. Did not feel rushed on but and took our order perfectly! Ambiance Chill and friendly. Perfect for late night with friends or family. Lotta yellow cozy light with the stained glass motifs-what a vibe!

Keep in mind that this restaurant is loud due to the amount of people. Def if you're going during high traffic it'll be hard to talk to each other. Our server Trey was really nice and felt like a super honest dude when he shared his favorite dishes. The chicken fried steak was delicious along with the waffles ? It's been a minute since I've been impressed with waffles. And the marinara sauce that comes with the cheese sticks oh my goodness. Probably the best marinara sauce I've had by far ! Would definitely come back to try more food. I will say I didn't care for the Mac and cheese. Mash potatoes were solid though

I was staying at a hotel nearby for an early flight the next morning. On the way to the hotel I…read moresaw the sign "Hot Biscuit" and since biscuits are one of my favorite foods, I decided to walk over and have dinner there. I wanted to start with one biscuit, but the biscuits come in pairs. The waitress said I could order just one anyway, but the order ended up being two. I meant to save the second one for breakfast, but that was not to be. It did not survive long enough to make it out the door. My actual meal was a bacon swiss and mushroom burger, which was excellent. Between the biscuits and the burger, I am forced to acknowledge that it was entirely too much food. Sadly, that did not prevent me from eating all of it anyway. Delicious! The restaurant, which is a diner with very basic decor, is on an approach road to IAH, and is open 24/7. When I arrived in the evening, the place was empty. By the time I left, there were a whole bunch of customers. I noticed in other reviews that people were saying they did not receive checks for their meal and felt they were over-charged at the register. I did not receive a check either, but the amount I was charged at the register seemed accurate -- and I was paying attention because I had read the other reviews first.

This is the kinda Mel's diner where you don't know if you love the food, the feelings or the people…read moreyou meet here. I happened upon this after a late night concert and had a great time. I have gone back for nostalgia a few times during the day and the food was still made to order, prices were still reasonably low and the wait staff reminded me of a safe place to get rid of my day and my safe diet. Kinda feels like home, missing your childhood and humble beginnings. Somebody's intoxicated, somebody's on a first date, somebody's passing through, somebody's lost, somebody's on their third meal of the day (motel parking lot adjacent) and the server loves everything about your fancy bracelet or handbag. Sometimes you just need that definitely one of my places for old Times sake. It's humbling. I've yet to try the hot biscuit, but the burger and fries is good anytime.

My husband and I have been eating at Frank's for over 35 years in one location or another. And,…read morethat alone should serve as a testament to how much we love these diner style restaurants! The food is always good, plentiful and efficiently served. The hash-browns and grits are always fresh and cooked perfectly. The homemade rolls are fluffy and delicious and the pancakes are generously sized and thick. And, on the very rare occasion that there has been a mix up on an order, things were rectified quickly and with no hassles. So you should understand that we were devastated by the news that the Frank's location closest to our house was totally destroyed by fire recently. That would be the 1915 Mangum Rd. location. It is my understanding from employees at neighboring businesses that they plan to reopen, at least temporarily, in a vacant building on a lot that is adjacent to the burned building. I have not checked that for any factual accuracy, so take it with a grain of salt, as it were. Meanwhile, we will drive the extra miles to one of the other locations.

Options are limited for breakfast near my work, so I opted for Frank's…read more I have ordered from them in the past and it has been ok. I tried the fish this time and will say the coating was ok, however, it slipped off. I asked for fried hard. I felt the food today was bland and lacked any flavor. I ended up not finishing and just disposed of it. I ordered via door dash so I am unsure of the ambiance.

ABSOLUTELY ATROCIOUS!! Let this place die like it's trying to. Unfortunately we were in a pinch…read moreand staying in a hotel nearby so we had limited options. 1) Nobody in the place at 7:00 on a Friday should have been a sign. 2) Waiter never took our drink order. He asked our food order first. We had to ask him if we could get drinks first. 3) When we did order we watched our drinks sit at the end of the bar for 10 min until I had to go retrieve them myself. 4) The food was INCREDIBLY mid for it being that expensive. Undercooked potatoes, overcooked chicken, not a single person at the table of 4 adults had a good thing to say about their meal 5) It took 2 FREAKING HOURS with no one there. When I say no one I mean completely empty 6) Trying to check out and leave. Our server who was looking for an upsell told us he saw a cookie in the back that was ready to go. Thanks for telling our 3 small children that at 9:30. Reluctantly after telling him no several times it was awkward enough to cave. Cookie took about 20 minutes to come out. We had been there for over 2 hours at that point and we had to just get up and leave. If you go to this restaurant after reading this, you deserve the horrible experience you will certainly have.

Our server was also very nice, and super helpful as I asked for a wine suggestion and she hit the nail with her suggestion. She brought a small sample for me to try before serving it. The food itself was delicious! We got the onion rings appetizer, and you could tell they were made to order. They were super fresh and also crispy. The chicken parmigiana was good, and they were not stingy with their portions at all. The picture I took doesn't do the dish justice. I will definitely go back to this place, as their food, service and overall experience is a great one when you dine in.
