Gene's Bistro

This restaurant is near the Southwest Terminal at Midway Airport. My coworkers and I were looking for a breakfast sit-down diner, and we came here. We were seated immediately. The server was friendly and can be mistaken for rude. Our orders were accurate, and she was very diligent about the condiments.We all ordered different things from the menu. It's challenging to make customization for some meals. I wanted spinach and mushrooms added to my entry, but it was not possible. The food is diner style. Not much flavor, but we made the best of it. There's not really a vibe here. It's just a place to get your food quick and out. Be kind to people.

We were a party of 8 on a business trip. Service was fine but the product was terrible. There seemed to be something wrong with most items we ordered. One of us ordered a salad and the dressing was rancid. They had to comp it. One of us ordered the Buffalo wings, but they were boneless. Nowhere on the menu did it mention boneless. One of us ordered the Black n Blue burger, and he became physically ill immediately after. I ordered the bacon cheeseburger with pickles on the side. They gave me pickles on the side but also pickles ON THE BURGER. Fries were cold and soggy. My gin and tonic had flat flavorless tonic with no lime. Service was fine. Not outstanding but fine. Our server was nice and was responsive to our cosine. Prices were abysmal for the quality. $19 for the worst gin and tonic I've ever had is a travesty. Overall worst airport dining experience of my life. They need to get the health department in this place because they appear to not care or don't know how to run a restaurant and weary travelers are getting sick because of it.

Should have left before we got seated. There was no one in line so we just walked up to the host stand. As we were being walked to a table, a couple people started walking up through the line. The gentleman that stayed at the stand made a comment that "At least someone follows the signs." I reititerate no one was in line when we walked up. Got seated and was greeted in a decent time. Ordered our food with water as our beverage. It took 10 minutes to get our water, and it wasn't busy. I had the chicken club sandwich with ceasar side salad. The salad was decent. The bacon on the sandwich was very cold as well aa the chicken. The bread was greasy. My hisband had the chicken parmesean sandwich with fries. The fries were good.

I knew when the food only took 5 minutes to get to us that there was going to be an issue because something freshly grilled and prepared should take a little more time. “Grilled chicken sliced” = lunch meat. Absolutely disgusting. Chicken on the Caesar salad was clearly a least a day old. I expected fresh food, especially for $20/meal, but did not get that. The person in charge of maintaining the standards of the quality of food needs to do a better job.

Staff friendly, and clean. I like to see my chef make my meal, and this place allows for that! I love a waitress who knows how to attend to a customer. Ms Rochelle was a perfect example of that! Thank you guys so much made my trip to Houston worth the early wait. 🥰

The location is great and Angelica waited on me and was fantastic. The buffalo wings were very good the parm sandwich a little bland.

Remember you are at an airport not a Gold Coast Restaurant. Had a Cobb Salad and a Samuel Adams October first amber beer. Our server was sweet and prompt. Food was good flavor.

Food was overpriced for its quality. The tatortots had varying levels of doneness from soft and crunchy to crouton. I felt as though I was rushed to order food but the service took twice as long. I wish I had looked at the reviews before stopping by. I got the New Dawn drink and it was just tequila and pineapple juice.
