Main Food Store

Just wanted to report that this store is ripping off people. I purchased a day pass there and the card had no funds. I went back and the girl from India or wherever (with the straight hair) that sold it to me, she just played dumb and acted like she didnt know what happened when she knew very well what she sold me and basically I was out of luck.
I said that she knew because when I first came in, she told me it was only cash. I didnt want to use their «Atm» («wonder why») so when I came back, her brother was going to help me, but she kind of stopped him in a gesture that I now interpret as «I got this» (if you catch my drift). But I think they all probably do the same. I’ve reported this to METRO as well. Sure it was only 3 bucks, but it is the principle of what they’re doing. If you like to shop there, go ahead, but just make sure you watch them like a hog. Make sure your change is correct, they give you a receipt and keep those people from getting «extra income» off of you!

For the most part, this store is like any other convenience store you’d find in Houston. It’s in the middle of downtown on Main Street Square, and there are regularly people out front asking for money.
However, what sets this place apart is that inside the store is that they sell not only fried chicken and egg rolls, but other Southern comfort foods such as fried chicken livers and gizzards, as well as Cajun boudin and boudin balls.
I’m not a fan of gizzards, but I do love chicken livers. If you’re looking for them, this is the place to get them!

Years later I will give this 3 stars as well.
Located just steps from the MetroRail Main St Square Southbound station. This place is still a dump. Only going for it is that you can find pretty much anything you need in here. I think they also sell toilets and kitchen sinks.
Cops do more patrol at night. Noticed not too many undesirables hanging around. Still keep ya guard up.

I’m honored that I am the first to review this place (unless its under a different name). The main problem in writing this review is what to rate it. I’m going to be honest, this place is kind of a dump, smells like urine, and you’ll probably get stabbed here late a night.
But that’s kind of what I like about it.
Homeless people are always hanging outside of this place, even more so at night and weekends. It does smell like urine and in fact I have seen a gentleman with his pants on the ground (and yes he did look like a fool) taking a whiz right into Main St. I have been offered drugs as well as asked if I was selling.
Now you may be asking why it’s rated so high. Well for a few reasons. First off this is really the only convince store that I know of downtown outside of CVS and this place is open late. They have beer, soda, Barack Obama posters and t-​shirts, chicken to go, and other great stuff for cheap prices. Granted I’m not sure you want to eat the chicken and you may want to question where the food and drinks come from, but it’s cheap.
Honestly, it isn’t too bad to go during the day but I would try to avoid it at night. They do have police scope out downtown, esp. weekend nights, but still. If you are going to go, just keep your guard up.
