The end of an era..

by timelordx

I've been going to "Bibas" since 2002. In fact, I was quite a regular up until a few nights ago, at the new location. The owner, Nick, came up to me and was really cool and friendly. We talked a bit about the new place. I mentioned how I thought it was a bit too bright on the patio, and he turned a light off. Then 15 minutes later he comes and tells me and my friend that we can't sit up there for over 2-3 hours with our computers; that "this wasn't an internet cafe." I've been doing that for years. I don't always want to go there for food, but I have been a very good customer to them. Even Kaykay says so. I'm known there by name. So with Nick coming up to me like that, it was a total shock, like someone coming up to you and saying "hey, nice to see you again!" then slaps you in the face.

Now it gets even better... I set my step-bro up with a job there as a cook, and after his second day he's standing outside Bibas. That's all, just chillin and observing the area. A cop comes up to him, starts poking him in the shoulder, asking him what he was doing. My brothers has to unfortunately state the obvious. The cop asks him for his ID, and my bro asks him why, that he wasn't doing anything wrong. The cop tells him he was "acting suspicious" and proceeds to push him to the ground and cuff him. Two other cops arrive, saying things like "I think he's on something". My bro asks for their badge #s, and says he's going to file harassment charges. Well, he ends up being detained in an interrogation room for an hour or so, and is then released. When he returns to work the next day, the main cook yells at him for having been detained (FOR NOTHING), then tells him that he doesn't need him working there anymore, that he's not even allowed on the premises anymore... and here's the best part... NEITHER AM I. What kind of insanity is this? Now that they have a fancy new building, their attitudes sky-rocket into snobbery and extreme Greek arrogance.

So yeah, I'm never going back.

I may have had worse Greek food before, but this place is definitely the worst place I can NAME for it, and I've had a LOT of Greek food for those who question credentials. Sorry. The ingredients are poor, and a lot of the stuff just doesn't come out right. Greek food is labor intensive, and you need good ingredients. Pizza and calzones are awesome, though. Service is good in the efficient diner kinda way, and no matter when you go you can eat whatever! It's fun after the bars. Place is run down as anything, though. I could never see myself picking this place to go to of all the places in Houston on an ordinary day.

• Pros: Pizza, late night, service, beer
• Cons: Some food is bad, place is shoddy looking
