“Amazing food. We will be back many times!“

“The building is inside of the grocery store. I would have never known it existed if it wasn't on Google maps.

The store is small and has a funky smell. it smelled like rotting meat. (Appeared to be an issue with market actively being repaired). The restaurant itself was situated behind the cash registers.

When walking up, the menu is clearly on the right on the wall beside the register. It is not a comfortable place or somewhere to really sit down and enjoy a meal with a family.

We ordered the blacked chicken salad and the mushroom burger. Self serve condiments and drinks.

The food was made fresh, it was delicious.
The food needs to be in a 5 star restaurant somewhere else. This was the best food I've found in Monroe after trying every top rated place in town.

The ordering process involves waiting in line, paying, then taking the number. It's brought to your table with almost 0 interaction with staff.

Put these chefs with a good restaurant with nice sit down tables and a friendly hostess and waiters. It will easily be the #1 place in Monroe

The flavors of the food are spot on. The fries perfectly crispy. The burger cooked perfect and moist. The blacked chicken salad was full of flavor not overcooked, freshlyade, with crispy bacon. I had the balsamic dressing and need to know which brand they use (or the recipe to make it).

We will be returning to try the reuben sandwich and the pulled pork nachos in the near future.“

“Awesome breakfast this morning“

“Wonderful place that let our Real Estate brokerage have our team meeting there at lunch time. Great server was fantastic and very accommodating. Loved the place, style & decor. I esp love the music room for live bands, stand up comedy etc. My plan is to go back on the weekends to hear the music and see the shows.“

“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.“

“A great experience! The food and service was excellent! Kelsey was an exceptional waitress. She refilled our drinks before we had to ask. She was sweet with a great smile! The Chicken sandwich was one of the best I've had. I definitely recommend the Mystic Grill.“

“Food is always fresh and delicious!!! Staff is extremely welcoming!“

“14 Year Anniversary Dinner!!

Such an incredible experience! We got there at 5 o’clock on a Tuesday. It was very slow and it was awesome. We started with the oysters. My husband got the steak with the fingerling potatoes. And I got the crabcakes with a side of the cabbage and apple slaw that came with another entrée and I highly recommend putting those two together! The crab cakes were amazing, do not get me wrong!! They just needed a little extra somethin somethin. The freshness and crunch was amazing! I could eat a huge bowl of just the slaw alone!

From the moment we walked in Gabby was absolutely amazing, The hostess. The sweetest postcard with everyone’s signature on it, and she also put a little of her artwork all over it. So sweet a special.

Chris was an absolutely amazing waiter! A lot of energy and great recommendations for food! He was so excited to gift us complementary champagne as soon as we sat down. We love raw oysters and he was able to Set us up with three different types of oysters. 4 from Virginia, 4 from Florida and 4 from Massachusetts! Perfect way to try different ones from different areas! I will say I missed my saltine crackers, though. Haha.
Jett the Bartender made the BEST cosmos!!! I like mine, a little heavier on the acidic side, and he nailed it to a tea! So much so the hubby had to order him one. Which he’s a beer man.
Highly recommend this restaurant for a special occasion or even a chill night.

Thank you all again for making 14 Years so special. We WILL BE BACK!!“

“Some of the best fish I’ve had in a while I will come back“

“April and the crew were fast and friendly. Great service.“

“wait staff was great, food cooked just right. best meal I've had a waffle house in awhile“

“The wings are good size and they have lots of wing flavors. They let you control the extra seasoning for your fries. The only thing that is bad is the freestyle Coke machine doesn't mix right so everything is too soda water tasting. However, they have bottled drinks and they are good! Overall, a good place to eat!“

“The food and service is always awesome!!!“

“Great food. Great service“

“The only reason I gave Atmosphere a 1 star is because this location is still in Covington. More of a compliment really, that they have that great an iHop in a city that is trending downward.

EDIT: After the reply by IHOP, I had to downstar. We are at best Breakfast Acquaintances. Know your place in the pre-lunch ecosystem, International House of Pandering.“

“We had wings they were perfect ! Really enjoyed them. And the service was great !“

“I went with my family and service was great, and best wings I have ever had. Definitely recommended. Sweet southern small town restaurant, we need more places like this!!“

“I was pleasantly surprised by my experience at this location tonight ❤️. I ordered takeout on a busy Friday night— my order was correct, delicious, and still hot by the time I got home, which was super impressive 🥂. The ribs were especially flavorful and tender 👌🏾. I do wish I had left a larger tip, but I’ll definitely make up for it next time 😊.“

“I recommend you wear 5 jackets to this one 🤣🥶🥶“

“My roommates and I love this place, and they’ve definitely earned our loyalty. For the price, you honestly can’t find better around here really. The fried rice always hits the spot, and while I love basically all their options, my favorite is the chicken teriyaki. Plus you can get it as a combo with a drink for really cheap. With the amount of food you get, I easily have leftovers for the next day. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something affordable, quick, and delicious.“

“Third shift weekend is a chill shift very nice people sweet tea is good food is good no complaints honestly the whole shift should get a raise because 2 dollars an hour is not enough at all especially for all the work that they do thank you third shift weekend Waffle House great experience“

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

“I got to the drive thru at 9:54pm and they close at 10pm. At first, the kid didn't want to serve me because of the time, but he finally did. Food was great! P.S. If closing time is 10pm, then people should be served if they arrive prior to 10pm.“

“My husband and I come to this ihop every sunday afternoon! We both get pancakes and cheese grits. I put the 5 stars for our favorite server, Ben. He is always kind and makes sure we are taken care of. If you visit here anytime soon, ask for Ben to be your server! He's the best“

“This place is LOUD! Stopped for lunch on a Saturday and it was packed. Had a group of 5 so we got seated right away, pays to have large group sometimes. Had to put headphones in to drown out the noise. Waiter did his best to hear us. Food was hot, good and quick.“
