Restaurants in Monroe

“😁this is the greatest place to see old friends and meet new ones. I have been going there for 10 years .”

“Awesome, delicious, friendly service, and nearby! The best Shrimp Boil we have had in many years. The shrimp was good size, tender (not overcooked), sausage, potatoes and corn were perfect with the best seasoning ever. The juice was outstanding. The boiled egg was a surprise, must be a regional dish for Mal, but oh so good! Us southerns usually have our eggs deviled, but I have a new favorite! We support our new business in Monroe. The price is worth it when you are served food this good! Check it out!”

“Walked in and was greeted with enthusiasm and cheer. Our attendant Emily was amazing, with it being my 1st time visiting she explained everything fully and was patient while we ordered. Great food and experience top tier!”

“We enjoy the Winder location for dinner and Sunday brunch and decided to try the Monroe location. We were looking forward to a nice evening out, but due to the service we won't be back to Monroe. The food was good, when we finally received it. We had a reservation and once we were seated, we waited 20 minutes for our server to come and greet us and ask for our drink order. No one came over until I went to the front counter to ask who our server was. The food arrived an hour after being seated. The atmosphere was loud and crowded. I much prefer the Winder location and we will only be going back there in the future.”

“Great date night. Lovely ambiance! We loved our sushi,Thai dish and sticky rice with mango. We will be back!!”

“Food was exceptional. Bartender very friendly ; overall atmosphere very good.”

“The food is sooooooo delicious! ?My friends came from NY to visit me and said that the food tastes just like the Chinese food in NY. I agree! Here’s another five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“We have tried about everything on the menu in the past 2 weeks, nine of us our last trip and pretty much tried everything in one trip, excellent food, amazing service, and the prices were very reasonable... We absolutely love this restaurant... NO, This is not a paid advertisement... ;-)”

“I just love this. We were in Monroe for my Mom's funeral and this place felt like home as it used to be when we were kids visiting our grandparents. I had forgotten how welcoming small town restaurants and shops are and we so needed that, along with great food and a cozy atmosphere. The biscuits are homemade and SO good! We were there 3 times in a week.

Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetables, omelets”

“good”

“I recommend dining here. The wait staff is friendly. The food was delicious and plentiful. The menu is several pages. There is a lunch menu as well with many choices. I found the prices very reasonable.”

“Great food, reasonable prices! More than just pizza. The meatball sub, antipasto salad, Stromboli, and calzone are excellent.”

“Food was excellent tonight.”

“I tried this place for the first time and had a great experience! Chef Mike is very nice and had great customer service. The food was great! Taste just like my mom’s cooking. Will definitely be back. Chef Mike, you have a new customer 😊”

“Checkers is the most slept on fast food restaurant right now, because it is the best and there’s almost never anyone here. The deals are amazing, and the food is my favorite out of all fast food places. This particular location is also awesome. My order is always correct and the staff is always friendly. I come here all the time. This place should be much more crowded than it is. The fries are amazing (my favorite fast food French fry), and the four for four meal with the double cheeseburger is an amazing deal. It’s also delicious. I wish they had milkshakes at this location, but I’m sure if this location got the customers it deserved, then they would be able to add more things to the menu.”

“I probably go here too much, but this is definitely the best ice cream spot I’ve ever been to! From the staff to the product, everything is high quality. They’ll always have my business!”

“My favorite little coffee shop in downtown Monroe! Everyone is always friendly & the coffee is delicious!”

“We got our orders relatively quickly. The person who took our order was nice. The surrounding was slightly dirty (stuff on the seats, tables, and floors). I do recommend coming here. This review was edited.”

“They treat you as family and speaking for myself, they treated and fed me like a king. Their food is authentic and on point. To top it all off, a Coca Cola (hecho en Mexico) in the glass bottle. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“Great place for a craft beer and some live music. Dog walking aound on the bar was a little off-putting, (I know they're "family" but really...would you let your toddler walk around ON THE BAR) but overall a great place. Young gal behind the bar was great and a sweetheart (I hate no name tags and when you run a tab, no reciept). God bless ya!”

“Posh was the perfect addition to our wedding! Our wedding cake and mini cupcakes were a hit! It was probably the best cake I’ve ever had and they were so beautiful!! Caitlin was great with communication and suggesting the best pairing of cake and icing. Highly recommend, they are the best!!”

“Quality, service, friendly, good food”

“That steak casserole is to die for! And it is huge! 4 meals for me. The steak is grilled and tender every time I've ordered it. And I love the fried plantain mixed into the casserole. My favorite Mexican restaurant now! #craving”

“Madison was a true pleasure to work with in every way. Blue Rooster is our favorite bakery! We have been returning to this place for over two years now, trying new flavors and delectable treats, and we have never been disappointed. So, when we decided to have our wedding, we knew that there could be no better place than Blue Rooster to meet our needs. We contacted Blue Rooster to schedule a cake tasting for my upcoming wedding. The process was seamless, and we encountered no issues. Madison contacted us via email and requested some information from us. She promptly booked us for the tasting. We met at the Monroe location, which was charming, and Madison arrived on time and fully prepared. She actively listened to our ideas and drew exactly what we described on paper. We were impressed with her exceptional attention to detail. Her expertise, informative responses, and confidence helped alleviate our anxiety and put our minds at ease. On the day of the wedding, Madison arrived on time and well prepared. She completely decorated the cake table as promised and everyone was impressed by her work! The wedding cake that Madison produced was an exact replica of what she had drawn on paper. Not a single detail was missing, and it was so beautiful that it left everyone saying "WOW"! We had ordered large cupcakes for the guests, and they were both beautiful and delicious. The cakes blew us away, and they tasted even better than we expected. You could really taste the freshness! For our spring wedding, we picked six flavors of cupcakes - strawberry, key lime, lemon pound, banana pudding, Oreo, and Italian cream. Our guests enjoyed Old Fashioned Strawberry, Oreo, and Key Lime Pie cupcakes the most. The Lemon Pound and Banana Pudding cupcakes were also popular among them. We had ordered an excess of cupcakes, so our guests went back for seconds and even thirds! By the end of the night, only 20 cupcakes were left - all of them Banana Pudding and Italian Cream. We gave some cupcakes as gifts to our vendors and took some home. It was a happy ending to a wonderful wedding celebration! After the ceremony, we asked some guests which flavors they enjoyed the most. The Old Fashioned Strawberry was the clear winner, followed by Key Lime. My personal favorite was Italian Cream, while the Groom's favorite was Oreo. The vendors said their families devoured the cupcakes they brought home and everyone kept asking, "Where did you order these cupcakes from?" We were proud to announce that we got them from our favorite bakery in Monroe, GA. Every guest got to enjoy their favorite flavor and try something new, and nobody was disappointed. We had an amazing experience working with Blue Rooster and Madison. They helped us bring our cake visions to life and we couldn't be happier. We have always loved them and still do. If you're looking for a bakery for your special event, trust me, you can't go wrong with Blue Rooster. They have a lot to offer and the skills to make your vision a reality. Thank me later! (wink, wink!)”

“At first it wasn’t great but after reporting a girl to the manager the manager made it right for me and gave me a free smoothie next visit and acknowledged me as a customer. Very pleased with the assistant manager super friendly and the rest of the staff is as well”

“I have never had collard greens this good the mac n cheese and roast with potatoes are out of this world”

“Great food and service. My favorite Mexican restaurant in Monroe.”

“Great vibes and coffee! Tried Alyssa’s summer drink..lavender and caramel iced coffee. It was amazing! Wonderful service too!”

“the atmosphere & food were delicious! The prices weren't too bad either!!! we will definitely be back.”

“Love this place! Owners are the greatest, food is awesome and the drinks are fabulous!🤩”

“The food was great and so was the atmosphere. But the one boy who brought out food had a look that we offened him that one of the burgers got sent back because the burger and the cheese was burnt to a crisp. He looked at us that we should eat in any way.”

“Food is absolutely wonderful! Burgers are one the best I’ve ever eaten! Rueben’s were also great. Fresh,hot fries seasoned perfectly. Definitely recommended….”

“Great choices of flavors with wonderful candy to choose from ♥️”

“Exceptional Service from Steven!

We had the absolute pleasure of being served by Steven, and I can honestly say he is one of the best servers we have ever met. From the moment we sat down, Steven was warm, attentive, and incredibly professional. He anticipated every need without us even having to ask and made us feel genuinely welcomed and cared for throughout our visit.

His knowledge of the menu was impressive—his recommendations were spot-on, and every detail was delivered with a smile and such positive energy that it made the entire dining experience even more enjoyable. He managed to be attentive without ever being intrusive, striking the perfect balance of friendliness and professionalism.

Steven truly goes above and beyond—his passion for great service shines through in every interaction. If you’re lucky enough to have him as your server, you’re in for a fantastic experience! We will definitely be coming back, thanks to him.”

“This place is always on point. The fried rice is excellent as are the wings and burgers. I don't eat them, but am told the fries (regular and sweet potato) are very good. Also a hamburger is only 5.99 which is a rare price in today's inflation.”

“Best bbq restaurant in east Georgia! Always take care me foods always consistent!! I’m a regular now!”

“Long Horns is a chain steak house that I visit from time to time. Although it seemed very busy with multiple groups of 12 or larger, there were several tables empty. This seemed like a staffing issue but that would only be a guess. I ordered the grilled Shrimp with Peppers as a main course even though it was a starter and French onion soup. Both turned out quite good. Our waiter was top notch. Sadly I can't remember his name. With the large crowds it was very noisy. Having a conversation with my associate was difficult at best. So, not the place I would recommend for an intimate dinner.”

“Great food and always friendly people.”

“the Chinese food was excellent and would get the tacos again”

“I do like Waffle House. But where do they get the idea that it's acceptable to bring the eggs, hash-browns and toast, but not the sausage until later? ITS NOT!!! We want our whole breakfast at the same time.”

“the Chinese food was excellent and would get the tacos again”

“A great store in a perfect location. Absolutely a must stop to shop locally. So many types of gifts to choose from. We are truly blessed to have our three b’s jams in this old style store.”

“I got philly gizzards cheese sticks I got my gizzards lemon ? pepper the philly was wonderful ten out of ten everything was the philly cheesesteak eas not dry full of flavor the meat was real meat I love it oh and I drove from athens”

“Food is delicious, fresh, and hot. The staff is friendly and accommodating. It was some of the best Chinese restaurants I've EVER been to. I would easily compare them to some of the best restaurants in Atlanta. Their food can't be beat. We will be recommending this place to EVERYONE. You will be doing a disservice to yourself if you don't try this place. My wallet still has money left in it!”

“Drive-thru wing spot. Serving more than just wings. My favorite is the 2-piece pork ? with fries!

Wheelchair accessibility: If you have a power ? you can drive up to the window and place/pickup your order.”

“My grandson and l went for dinner after his football practice. The pizza was so good,the young staff were all polite and helpful. We had a great time. Oh,the gelato is soo good.

Kid-friendliness: Very patient with children.”

“This place is jam up! I screwed up my order from a different location. The whole staff was on it, the price was cheaper and all apologies for my “inconvenience”
Awesome service, this place is yet to disappoint! The whole squad loves it !!”

“Glad to see people working and eating in this Waffle House. Tip to the cooks: careful with the patty melts. Mine was burnt”

“The wings are big, juicy, and packed with flavor. Each bite is crispy outside and tender inside, making for an amazing taste. The staff is friendly and attentive. The dining area is comfortable and always clean, making it a great place to enjoy your meal. Highly recommend! ???”

“My family and I love Five Guys. The food and service were excellent! Since it’s a newly opened business, we understand there may be some growing pains. I don’t want to sound overly critical, but I’d like to offer a small suggestion. It could be helpful to have a dedicated employee to keep the tables clean and sweep the floors. Also, while the patio area is nice, there were some stains on the pavement. A good pressure washing could make a big difference.

I know this might seem minor, but small details like these can influence whether customers decide to return. That said, we will definitely be back! I just wanted to share a little feedback to help ensure the success of the business.

Thanks, and welcome to Monroe!”

“The Food and staff were on point! My only complaint is the prices are a little on the higher side for a sub sandwich. I had a Philly cheese steak and it was so full of meat it was delicious”

“We came in with 13 people on April 8th for my birthday around 6:30 and had great service and food. Our food came out in a timely manner. The cashier was very helpful with making sure we had everything we needed. Thank you for making my birthday dinner night great.!!”

“First time at this new location. Been going to the old for a while that some of the staff remembers me. New place is nice and fresh. The food it let me down, was expecting the same quality and taste. It was lacking in some of the extras tastebuds. Was good but not great as it once was. I remember the fried rice get salt, pepper and some secrete seasonings, was salt, seafood was not seasoned as it once was. I don’t mind to pay more since this new building but give me that flavor I love please. Make sure portion are worth it, felt on the small side for the price. I want to come back please take my recommendations. I’m okay for the price but let’s get the food portion and taste up there.”

“I've been here probably half a dozen times now. I love the food, the wings are well done and all the sauces are great. I'm a fan of the Biffs Sweet and Jalapeño Ranch. I've had friends have the flat bread, pretzel, tacos, cheese curds, fries, just about everything. And always happy with the food! The service is fair, I don't see the same face often so I assume that the staff is newer.

We did take out once, that was a mistake. The food took an extra 35 minutes, the food wasn't as coated in sauce, and all just thrown together. Still tasted great but not timely. And the staff seem annoyed that I was there (easily could have just been a stressful Friday night)

I suggest it when people ask!”

“Fun place, great food and the Trivia was awesome!”
