“My husband and I rarely get a date night and tonight, we decided to go to outback this time. Let me say that we had the best experience. Our little waitress, Mattie, was the quickest and the sweetest waitress that we've had in a very long time from any restaurant in town. Our food was cooked to perfection. Our steak was juicy, cooked just right and my husband's coconut shrimp were huge and so good. If I was promised this service and could get Mattie every time, we'd go more often.”

“For my wife's birthday, went to Doe's. Tamale's were great, but Filet steak too rare-ordered medium rare. The stuffed potato I ordered was not warm; I sent it back & it was returned still cool. Not good. Dessert was great.”

“This Red Lobsters in Monroe is amazing. First let me talk about Mekayah she's a great waitress. She's very attentive and she has great customer service. I love her presence when I come to this location, Mekayah gets a A+ from me. The area is nice and it's right by The Pecanland Mall. Keep up the good work Red Lobster!!”

“Great salads! Get the salad chopped! It really does make the flavors delicious! Also, can’t beat the chicken noodle soup… it’s not like any you’ve ever had. It’s sure to make you feel better… even if you aren’t feeling bad! Highly recommend!”

“I was actually quite surprised.
The place is very clean. It's well decorated. And the food is really good. I thought I was just going to a random anime noodle place. They have flavor. It's a little gem. In little monroe. I'll go again for sure.”

“It’s a must try!!! 10/10!”

“My mother, daughter, grandson and myself ate here for the first time Saturday for lunch. Our server, I believe his name is Bailey?, dark wavy hair, was very attentive and friendly and made excellent menu & off-menu suggestions. Our food was wonderful.

“My wife and I were so pleased to see the thoughtful design of Enoch's a Cafe, the best coffee shop in the Garden District! Usually we worry about how well a wheelchair can get in, especially when the building used to be someone's house a long time ago. Enoch's a Cafe has a solid concrete pad for accessible parking, with a smooth surface leading up to a gently sloped ramp. And the interior is great too--you can wheel right up to the cutout below the register! But enough about the building, let's talk about the people and the food and drinks. Everyone there was friendly, knowledgeable, and eager to help us. And her chicken salad wrap, my ice cream, and her iced tea all passed with flying colors. (And no, that's not a joke about the Superman ice cream. They call it something else here.) I'm looking forward to trying their breakfast next!”

“This is a different dining experience over all. We go at least twice a week.”

The food is always good there and there are some very nice people working there. The ribs are still number one around here. Always on point!”

“I wanted hibachi and decided to give this place a try..10/10 recommend!!!! Way better than the expensive place . Food was well seasoned and the price was Very reasonable !!! The lady had a slight attitude on the phone when ordering but the food was amazing so Im glad I ignored it☺️”

“Best soul food in Louisiana! Fastest service! Friendliest staff! Great prices! Plenty of parking! Cafeteria style setting, dinner is hot and ready.
I had ribs, candied yams, potato salad, cornbread, and a drink. My wife had baked chicken, candied yams, cabbage, roll, and a drink. All for less than $30!
Every bit of the food was 100% delicious!
Best kept secret in Louisiana...oops!”

“This location is awesome compared to the others! The lady that works at night (I didn’t get her name) but she’s always as sweet as can be and works hard! The manager they have now is as friendly as can be and great also! Food is always PERFECT! Thank y’all for working hard to push out delicious and accurate orders!”

“I can tell you in 100% all honesty, Johnny's Pizza is the best pizza I've had in my entire life. I have multiple friends who have moved away to metro areas, and they immediately go to Johnny's if they're ever back in their hometown. My sister lives in AL Every time we go visit, we have to bring them a few Johnny's Pizzas, including the Sweep the Kitchen Speciality Pizza, which is my personal favorite. Consistently gets 5 stars in all categories spanning the 20 years I've been eating there. I wish I could afford to eat there every day. Look no further, this IS the pizza place you're looking for!”

“Thurman’s catered my wedding on Saturday and the food was amazing! The service was also exceptional. We had a mashed potato bar, chicken salad, beef tenderloin, and chicken salad. It was all delicious. So thankful for all the hard work they poured into my big day 🩷”

“Pizza was delicious, wings were very good, the burger was top tier. Food was made fresh, and absolutely worth the wait. Definitely will be eating here again!”

“Everything is delicious!!”

“The best ice cream I’ve had by far! The last 2 times I’ve been have been horrible experiences. One time there was a frozen moth in my ice cream cup, the second time I ordered a small twister and received a small cup with two bites of ice cream in it. The staff is rude. I’ve never had a bad experience until this summer. Will definitely be visiting the West Monroe location from now on.”

“I really love this place!!! Nachos are amazing and so is the chicken and rice with tortillas!! Was kind of bummed my bottom layer of chips had a hair in it but it wouldn’t stop me from coming back.”

“Excellent food and service”

“Great coffee beverages and super nice baristas! I love the atmosphere .”

“We want to give a shout out to the new staff and management at this location. We just finished another great breakfast there. The food is good but what is impressive is the team in place now. If you haven’t been there lately, give it another chance. Thank you team for a great experience.”

“Friendly workers and Delicious food.”

“I want to give a shoutout to Nothing Bundt Cake in Monroe. I went to pick up my cake and it wasn’t ready yet. They told me that I could wait in my car and they’d just bring it out. We were in no hurry as the cake wasn’t needed today. 15 minutes later a sweet employee came out with my cake and a box of mini Bundt cakes free of charge as an apology. She told me that my cake bow fell on the floor and she refused to put it on my cake and remade it. Excellent customer service!”

“We eat at Fiesta at least once a week! There is no better Mexican food in the area. We haven’t had anything we don’t like!”

“Hands down the best cold brew around. The staff are wonderful, friendly and kind. They remember orders by heart and create a welcoming environment to work, hang or study.”

“I would like to thank the crew and management at Firehouse subs today for their excellent service and courteous demeanor throughout my visit today. My order was prepared quickly and was perfectly made. I highly recommend this location. Outstanding!”

“We had a party of 20. We can be alot with our individual likes and needs, but our waitress, Tasha, did an AMAZING job. There weren't many people there when we got there due to the work the city is doing. Now we did make a reservation for 6 when I saw they were able to say people again, but about the time half of us got our food more people started coming in. Due to a large group that came in at 4:30, space was getting tight. No worries - they made room, found a table, and people were able to sit at the bar. Due to the work the city had been doing, they weren't heavily staffed. HOWEVER, Tasha handled it absolutely wonderfully. Will I go back? HECK YEA!!! EDITED TO ADD: Kitchen did a GREAT job, too!!!”

“excelente servicio y la comida al 100”

“Great time and service was great as well as food, atmosphere was set very well and the waitress staff was fabulous #Williegooddeal #Drivesparks”

“Esthetically, average... But I'm a utilitarian. I've visited 3 times. the patrons and staff are always polite and interactive. I have some constructive criticism for the karaoke format, otherwise... no complaints. I'm looking forward to my next visit. 4.5 stars.”

“They have the best coffee in town. I really love all the friendly faces.”

“Food is always good at Olive Garden. This particular areas environment is clean and the atmosphere is always packed with other diners. It's still nice and subtle vibes. This a good place to eat and visit. You will definitely get your monies worth.”

“We had a great time and excellent pie recently. If you're out and about and looking for something a bit different for a treat, I suggest you try Not Just Pie.”

“Love there food they are nice to you”

“Awesome experience. Get the ribs!”

“Finally got a chance to get over to the BBQ Pit. Every part of the experience was a pleasure. From the staff to the food! In a time where customer service is definitely in a decline, the customer service at BBQ Pit was absolutely top notch and the food was cooked to perfection! Can’t say enough positive things about our first(but not our last for sure)visit. I absolutely recommend this restaurant, and a bonus: you might even get a chance to meet Doc Holiday!”

“I can’t say enough about Catfish Charlie’s. We lost our brother recently and his wish was for family to get together after memorial at Catfish Charlie’s. He loved this place. We all ate there last night and it was wonderful. They all went way beyond the normal to make sure we were all taken care of. The food was incredible. We can never thank y’all enough for making our Brother’s wish come true.”

“food is great staff r very nice”

“The customer service at this place was magnificent!! I come here just about every weekend all because of the people that work there. The ice cream is soooo delicious and it’s basically free toppings so it’s not expensive at all. If you don’t go get you some ice cream from this place, you’re crazy!!”

“We had to wait an hour for a pizza and we live right next door. The pizza was fresh and hot but the wings were ice cold. This is the first time we ever had problems.”

“Friendly service… I had a dinner plate, not much seasoning ( which is ok for some ). It was ok. I think I’ll try a burger next time …. The wait wasn’t long at all . Clean atmosphere”

“Great Food and Amazing People.”

“My husband and I had a late lunch here today. The service from MaraBel (sp?) was top notch and the food was incredible. We ordered the Athena plate for two to share. It came with beef chicken and lamb- grape leaves and spinach pie (spanakopita?) a side of rice with hummus. We started with the baba ganoush and salad. Everything was fresh and delicious. Definitely be back. Thank you to the young lady who served us. She was lovely.”

“Am from ferriday but my fish plate was fresh and on time.”

“I can not say enough good things about this business! She always goes above and beyond to make sure her customers are happy and pleased! I have not had a single thing that didn’t taste amazing! From Mardi Gras king cakes, birthday cakes in every flavor you can think of, cupcakes,chocolate covered strawberries, and many more sweet treats she has it ALL! You can tell She really loves what she does and takes time to make every order so personal and just the way you like it! We use her for every occasion and don’t plan on any different anytime soon! She is amazing and does amazing work! Definitely recommend 20/10.you will not be disappointed!”

“Best place to get some chicken and fish in town! Love the staff they are always so friendly and welcome everyone like family. Their food is the best. Always hot, fresh, and never had an order wrong. They are the real deal! Love baileys!”

“The positive points are the Great service—we always ask for Carolina—and the quick service of margaritas, chips, and salsa. Once selected from an extensive menu, the food is served with a delicious presentation. If there is a shortcoming, it's the ambiance.....it could use a makeover that allows more privacy for family gatherings. And let's dim the lights.”

“First time at Jay Papa’s and it did not disappoint!! Fried green tomatoes with lump white crab meat were the best. Shrimp quesadillas were amazing💋❤️”

“My kids and my sister's kids have always loved this place. I've taken them since they were all small kids. It's gotten a bit pricey but it's fine. We love the food. Always hot and fresh. The service is always great. The people are nice and friendly. The atmosphere is very family friendly.”

“The food was excellent along with the atmosphere....the problem was the server...she placed the wrong order when it came to my mother and she got loud about it and then she stated that nachos weren't even on the menu and then when we showed her she left and never came back.”

“This is the best fish and chicken we've had since we moved here to North Carolina back in 2015 hands-down and the best customer service!”

“My favorite place in the world!!!”

“My snow cone was sooooo good! I ordered bananas and cream, stuffed with vanilla Blue Bell, and topped with caramel sauce, marshmallow cream, and cherries. It was phenomenal, the perfect sweet and rich treat for a late Sunday evening. Highly recommend!”

“The owners are really welcoming and they have awesome bartenders!”

“Nice bartenders and pool tables! It’s a little small, but it’s a great place to chill with friends and have a beer. They have jenga blocks and a jukebox to choose what music you want to hear. All around a fun place to have a few!”

“Very laid back and mature atmosphere.🥂 I must visit again soon🫶🏾💃🏾🙌🏾”

“Friendly staff & amazing teas!”

“Ive been to a few different Charlie's and this one is by far the nicest and best tasting one. All of the managers are always so kind and funny. They all know my order and have it ready so fast. Definitely the best Charlie's in LA.”

“I have drank a lot of coffee in my day. I have ordered coffee from a lot of different Starbucks in my time. I'm here to tell you, that the Starbucks on ULM campus is phenomenal! I take that back, best Starbucks of all TIME!
The Americano that I was served by Miss Beverly was ? ? PHEBOMBENAL ?
I ordered it with cream and sugar, extra hot, and the smile behind it proved to me that it was the bomb before I even took the first sip. Yeah if you want to get a good cup of coffee, stop by the Starbucks on campus at ULM and you will not be disappointed. If you are dissatisfied, just comment on this review, and I will come buy the cup of coffee from you and drink it. 10/10 hands down 5 ⭐ review EASY!

Thank You Beverly for a courteous cup of coffee with a beautiful smile to go with it! ?

Sincerely,
Mr. Stevenson ?”

“Food was good and love it there”

“I absolutey love the dbl roast beef. Great service! Very clean. I wish we had an Arby's in West Monroe, till then, I'll keep crossing the river!”

“The food was good. This location is one of the BEST CFA locations in Georgia ( I have traveled all over this state) . However, I could tell that part of my waffle fries were freshly cooked and some were cooked earlier. They were busy, but attentive. However, the usual smiling faces were more focused on the "hustle" rather than on creating a welcoming atmosphere. The usual positive "buzz" was missing, but I am sure that it will be there on my next visit. ??”

“I stopped here while visiting a childhood friend for his wedding, the name is what made me pull in to check the place out. I don't go to many bars, but I do frequent pool halls. Unfortunately, they're often poorly lit, dirty, or smell like cigar smoke. My friends and I were surprised to find that this wasn't the case with Shananigans. Even with our party of eight wandering in off the street, it wasn't claustrophobic like most halls can be. The drinks were good and affordable, and the tables, thank god, are in good condition and properly leveled for play. We were even able to order a pizza while there; it was nice. I'd stop by again when I'm in town for our next meeting.”

“Love Chick-fil-A! I do want to say with sadness that this store let me down. I said thank you to 3 different people and NOBODY said my pleasure. Most Chick-fil-A have this down as many times as you say thank you they will say my pleasure.”

“We arrived late almost closing time. That didn't stop the employees from being friendly and patient. Even though my home is a few minutes away from this Subway. It was my first time stopping by there. I usually travel across town to the other subways. Being that this Subway sets back from the street. Between two other buildings which are closed while Subway stays open much later. The surrounding area isn't bright enough in my opinion. When I am alone I feel uncomfortable going there for safety reasons.”

“The bartender Kellie is awesome and hot! Fun place to shoot pool play the bean bag cornhole game, darts and drunk JengaTheir Miami Vice is the bomb and if you want to go green their Margaritas off the chain”

“Be sure to check out Cole Soileau on SoundCloud and YouTube: Performed tonight and an outstanding performance and voice. Follow him and support him achieve his dreams and he will take you places.”

“Great food, hardworking staff, good price. I love the salad bar.

I may have names misspelled, but Roslyn is always pleasant to talk with with you enter, Gip is a master at the grill (he always customizes my Beyond Burger just the way I like), Tyrone knows his cajun cooking (his etouffee, creole, and jumbalaya are to die for), and Henry always gives me a fist bump in between refilling ice, keeping the tables and counters clean, and any of a dozen other jobs he does. There are others that are also really nice - I just am bad with names.”

“I had an opportunity to go on my lunch hour and not only was the service fast but the customer service was outstanding..”

“Does captain D's on hi 165 south have a drive thru?”

“This Subway is clean and the owner is almost always on hand to make sure we are treated well. Absolutely love the vegetarian sandwiches we eat here!*Still Great! Thanks for being Clean and Courteous.”

“We went through the drive thru so we could eat on the way home, but we were not given utensils and there was cole slaw and green beans involved. The food was great though‼️”

“Three cheers for Destiney! She went above and beyond to help me find a retainer I accidentally threw away. I am grateful. She said, “two sets of eyes are better than one.” She was right! Thank you, Destiney. ??”

“Johnnys was very good!! First timer & I love your pizza”

“No joke, the best experience I’ve had from a fast food restaurant in the last year. Albert and Maddie both had great attitudes and were very friendly the entire visit. Nowadays this kind of service is rare and I hope they are both compensated for their work ethics.”

“Savannah and Raiden are absolutely amazing.. Raiden explained my drink and even advised me on the best option... Their definitely the best!!!! Great service and great coffee has me loving 7 Brew!!!”

“Great Food & customer service ! Highly Recommended.”

“Stopped by in the middle of a lunch rush because I've been traveling back and forth from the hospital to care for my terminally ill father to my house to care for my terminally ill child. Life has trued to beat me down lately, but Cane's in Monroe was a happy spot today. To see everyone smiling, hustling food out, being kind and working hard. It blessed me and I will always stop here whenever I can!”

“we used to drive to shreveport to go to checkers i love the strawberry cheesecake sundaes!”

“Good place to eat at!! Love their wings and burgers”

“I stopped by Taco Bandido a few weeks ago for a late lunch. I had my cell phone and was going to pay with Apple Pay. I wasn’t sure how to use it since this was the first time to try it. Simone and Shay were working and offered to help me. We couldn’t make it work so I told the ladies I would just run home and get cash. They wouldn’t have any part of this plan and asked what I had planned to order. When I told them I wanted a burrito, they waved their hand, made the burrito and handed it to me at no charge. Thank you, Simone and Shay! You ladies made my day. I’ve been back a few times since that day, with cash, and would highly recommend Taco Bandido.”

“Staff is friendly, food tastes fresh, prices are very fair for the amount of food you receive. I can order one plate for me and my partner to split for dinner, or have lunch and dinner for the day for myself!”

“We decided to finally try Basil. It was great for us all. The food was tasty& fresh. The drinks were also great. Go try it! Friendly staff as well.”

“The food was good and I would say above average. The service was really good as well. For a 12 o’clock lunch the music was way too loud, save that for Friday and Saturday night!”

“Friendly, clean atmosphere. Chicken is amazing, most restaurants can't get white meat right but here...oh boy soft not tough and full of flavor😋👏👏let's not forget the large, soft, and tasty biscuits🤤🤤🤤”

“Absolutely delicious! Tender, juicy, flavorful!”

“the new building is beautiful! the two drive thru Lanes is a plus!! I've honestly missed it. I have a grandson that lives in Texas and has been asking for pics on its update. I went this past Saturday and sent him the final view along with sign of its upcoming reopening date. he was in awe!! thanks for the timely manner of the food and the short wait. Welcome Back Wendy's”

“Love going here their staff are super friendly and nice. It’s one staff member name Jay he always make my drinks PERFECT!!”

“Deonta Thompson always assist me and give me great customer service ! His leadership is phenomenal! I’m excited to go to Starbucks and get what I ask for with great customer service !”

“we used to drive to shreveport to go to checkers i love the strawberry cheesecake sundaes!”

“Was greeted/seated promptly and enjoyed the food, but the waitress never refilled my iced tea... Cooked crab salad could use more baked cheese on top and a bit less oil/butter but the flavor was great. Stuffed mushrooms need less onion to me. The cream cheese wonton, dumplings, fried zucchini coins, and bourbon chicken were tasty.”
