The Bistro was Characterized by its casual atmosphere, and its simple, yet popular, cuisine. It was created by the working class, and used to serve flavorful home-style fare of generous portions accompanied by modest wines for its patrons, which were mostly of working class as well. The popularity or the Bistro grew very quickly; and very soon it became a favorite not only in France, but in all Europe.

Today, The Main Street Bistro & Bakery builds on this tradition of friendly atmosphere, simplicity and sense of community, while keeping up with today's changing tastes.

Lovely employees, decent food. I would definitely go back again for breakfast.

Meh. Waitress was uninformed at best. Persuaded us to buy 2 desserts instead of sharing one by telling us they were only one serving -- 2-3 people could've easy shared. Also told us the desserts were between $5-8. They were $8 and $13. Look, I'm fine with dropping $13 for a great dessert, but the bread pudding was definitely not. My iced tea also was subpar -- did not taste fresh. Positives: The strawberry tart was good and the atmosphere outside was good. Overall opinion: Way overpriced for the quality of food & drink. Not at all pleased with the wait staff. No need to return.

I love that my sisters surprised me for my birthday today! The service, atmosphere, reasonable price was great! The Santa Monica chicken add a little pepper to it and this is the Bomb! Tomato basil soup delicious and I'm so glad there is no cheese added to it! French onion soup delicious! Sweet potato fries seasoned and cooked perfectly! We all enjoyed the food and mimosa!

All was good until I tasted the dessert this evening. It tasted off and when I cut the second piece there was mold. I am horrified and the taste is still in my mouth after flossing and brushing. Any suggestions on how to remove the taste from my mouth is welcomed. The five star review is now 3.5.

**We both got food poisoning** We came in for brunch on Sunday while we were staying in the area. We got seated then asked to move to another table because they didn't realize they had a reservation and needed our table. I noticed immediately that the new booth was far less comfortable and worn. Our waiter came, very chatty, taking off his mask a bit (we weren't wearing any but if you're going to wear it please don't fuss with it) and striking up conversation about his plans last night.

Finally he asks about drinks and I got my coffee. Needed that badly. Coffee was fine but not great, diners may be better. We both ordered the Chorizo scramble. It looked good and portion was good but the taste was bland. Finally after a few more awkward encounters with the waiter, we let and unfortunately got food poisoning. My stomach is more sensitive and I knew something was wrong immediately. My friend got sick this morning. Personally I wish we read the reviews and chose a different spot. We wanted something easy but paid the price, glad we can work from home!

Friendly waiter but slow service. My friend and I both ordered the chorizo breakfast skillet and wound up with serious food poisoning within 24 hours

Our waiter took about 15+ minutes between checking on us, until it was like thirty minutes and we're wondering what's going on as he never came back after giving us food to check on if everything was okay or if we needed anything. Our omelette was filled with onions - where you saw a few mushroom and spinach pieces but then the whole onion added overpowered it where you barely even tasted eggs.

We flagged another and he got our waiter so we told him and then he disappeared. We waited another 30+ minutes with no drinks, refills, no one checking on us. Finally we flagged another waiter who told us he left. Like he left the building. I had to laugh. Really? What felt like the owner maybe, came and brought another drink and we finally checked out at the bar.

We like the one in Grapevine more. No sorry, no I'll make it up with a drink or take those eggs you didn't eat off your ticket - no acknowledgment of very poor service. This one has different owners maybe, I don't know. But too many other places in the area to settle on this one again. Two stars are for location and decor.

The food is not good. Grilled shallots were steamed, mushrooms were canned, the toasted bread on my sandwich was put through a toaster, no seasoning. But the side salad and fries were good. If you don't love super flavorful food this is the place for you. That being said, we did complain and they were apologetic and comped the meal

The food is delicious and the lattes are phenomenal. Fresh pastries! The service is top notch and Alibaba might just be my favorite server of all time.

Drinks were bad. Coffee was full of syrup. Horrible customer service. In contrast to everyone else's experience here, we were treated with rudeness and judgmental actions. Once sat down outside with our dog, the waiter made remarks about how our small poodle was going to spread germs (fluff?) on our food, which we said we are fine. He then proceeded to asked "are you going to eat or not?" It's a cafe so we are working outside to order drinks, isn't that the point? Anyways fast forward to the coffee choices, he responded " I don't know.

I will check" to almost all the flavors I asked for. He then proceeded to stop me not once, twice as I was walking out for a meeting call, to ask if I am going to pay. As if I was leaving without paying, and my husband was still sitting right there. The host basically shoved me away as I asked for the wifi to work. The sign clearly says "fast free wifi, " so I don't know why we were the only ones getting that treatment. Is it because our race, looks, age, appearances? We will never know because we will never come back.

Staff is inviting and friendly. I've never been here before and just stopped in on my way to see a friend. I ordered the biscuits and gravy because I had been craving it for a while now. The biscuits were chewy and doughy. No crunch. My entire plate of food was cold : I hope the rest of the menu is good because I was disappointed. Coffee is good though.

The food was so good I forgot to take a picture before devouring half of it! Between the chicken and waffles, high quality coffee, and inventive desserts like the creme brulee cronut, it's hard to go wrong! Pictured: what was left of my chicken and waffles, a biscuit and gravy plate, and a croque madame.

I left a bad review on here last year and honestly forgot about it. I've been back several times since and there has been fantastic service each time, so I may have been too quick to judge. The food is delicious, and the portion sizes are huge, so the prices are actually really good for what you get. My family and I have tried about half the menu thus far, and we all agree everything is tasty, and good value.

I recently moved to this neighborhood and I am so happy to be close to this restaurant The breakfast was great. I liked the Benedict, it was nice. Spanish omelet was good and delicious. Coffee could have been better, but anyway it was acceptable.

Excellent place for brunch all day! The servers are attentive and friendly. The French cozy vibe transports you to great old times. The food is gourmet and delicious!

I got the chicken and waffles. It was good but would have been great if they would had added some salt to the chicken and the batter it was fried in. Also, I think it would be a nice touch to give a compote of butter and warm syrup instead of to go packets of butter and syrup. With my order I purchased a Chai Tea Latte. it was a little watery and once I got to the bottom of the cup I realized the contents hadn't been mixed well. My waiter was attentative and friendly and the atmosphere was warm and inviting.

This place is a cute little eatery right in the heart of Legacy Park. Sandra my server was amazing! The food was excellent and the views were Iike something out of a movie. If you are in Plano, especially near Legacy Park, it is definitely worth a stop.
