“Live parish so much!! Cannot wait to go back!”

“All I can say is WOW. Best food we have ever had- and we are big time foodies! We were just passing through, but now we will plan our trips around ensuring we can stop at this hidden gem.”

“We chose Outback for my niece's 13th birthday party. Great server, Maddie was amazing, friendly, funny and attentive and patient. food was good. enjoyed out day. Thank you all for a great experience.”

“I definitely enjoyed myself during Brunch. I felt welcomed the moment I walked in. The restaurant was very clean and we decided to sit upstairs on the balcony to overlook the bayou. My waitress Ella was very helpful from start to finish. She made sure that my bottomless mimosas were filled the entire time. Last but not least, a very special thanks to the amazing bartender August!!!!!!! Whenever you visit Planters,hopefully these two are there to serve you. My friends & family will be back soon!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Love this place...staff makes you feel right at home. Great views of the Ouachita! Y'all should start selling merchandise.”

“Everyone spoke to me and not just in the robotic way that most places do because they have to. All of the employees and the boss were super genuine and helpful the whole time my daughter and I were there. The salad ingredients were all fresh and delicious and the restaurant was very clean. Even the cost was good for much better food than you'd get at a fast food place. Can't wait to go back.”

“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 chicken parm was huge and cooked perfectly. We loved the decor and thoughtful entertainment options. We plan to return soon. Don’t miss this place. It is unique in this area. (Next time we will take photos).”

“The food was excellent here!! Fried green tomatoes, shrimp, onion rings, and even the fries were cooked to perfection. The batter was light and crispy, and the bread on our poboys was perfect!”

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

“Delicious Buffett and friendly staff. Food is fresh!”

“Enoch’s is a gem that never fails to impress. Whether you're stopping by for a casual lunch, a celebratory dinner, or just drinks with friends, you're guaranteed a memorable experience. I can't recommend it enough!”

“Monroe's first and most popular Indian restaurant. Everyone loves the delicious spicy food, the variety of dishes on the buffet, and the friendly and accommodating owner and staff. Popular buffet items are replenished frequently. They are on top of their game when keeping your large drink glasses full.”

“Great service in an awesome setting. The shrimp/roux is amazing!”

“The food was absolutely top-notch! The tacos and the quesadillas are on par with what you will find in good taco joints in Texas and Mexico. The owner and his family/staff delivered great, friendly service. Can’t wait to go back next time we are in town.”

“Best Wings Ever!!! That Louisiana Blend is something special.”

“It was Our 38th Anniversary !!! I had the Filet Mignon & my husband had the Ribeye as usual Everything was so Delicious as Always !! Thank you to our waitress Haleigh who was so nice & helpful!!! We will continue going to Doe’s for our Anniversary’s ❤️”

“My mom & I met in Monroe (we both live 2 hours in the opposite direction) & needed a dog friendly place to grab lunch. Waterfront Grill & their ENTIRE STAFF were so nice & accommodating. Not to mention, they had the best gumbo I have had in quite some time. We will definitely be back”

“Couldn't ask for a better experience... Food was good... Service was top notch... The atmosphere was great... The bathroom was clean.... What more could you possibly ask for!? Good job Olive Garden!”

“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.”

“Love there food they are nice to you”

“I go here a lot. I go different times of the day so I see different shifts. This is the friendliest Waffle House ever!! I love going to this one because the atmosphere is amazing. The food is always good & the service is great. You do not have to wait forever to get your food & it is always hot. Give these people a raise!! They deserve it♥️”

“Friday lunch at 12:20 pm
Two couples at tables waiting on food, and six man crew ahead of us in order line.
Only cups left were the giant large, the men discovered there was NO ice, NO sweet tea, and the drink dispenser had “OUT” tags on the Coke, Diet Coke, Dr Pepper & Root Beer.
We got a small amount of unsweet Hot bitter tea. Then waited 35 minutes for two basic #1 burger deals.
When employee brought out order to elderly couple ahead of us the lady asked for some ketchup to which the employee Shouted
“It’s on the counter”
When she delivered the orders to another elderly couple sitting behind us, (the rap music volume was deafening blasting thru the overhead speakers) the lady asked very kindly if they could turn down the volume to which the employee Shouted “I’ll tell the manager”
And then proceeded over to where the men on the work crew were sitting waiting on their food and started laughing, flirting, and hooping & carrying on with them.
She was still engaged with them when we left..
absolutely unbelievable that a business operates like this and treats customers so poorly and rudely.
We will NEVER set foot in this dump again.”

“Food was well made, and everybody was very nice taking care of me and my spoiled Dalmatian. Tracy gave me a little plastic
container to give my dog water. Mr. owner, you have a nice group of people working on a Saturday morning. They deserve a raise
in appreciation. Tnx!”

“Great food. Really cool atmosphere, great view of the bayou. Try it out when you are in the area.”

“Best food I've ever had I'll be a loyal customer from now on it's amazing how food can bring back memories hands down the best place to eat”

“well worth pulling off the highway and going a few extra miles I didn't drive to Louisiana to eat breakfast at Sonic! blech biscuit was amazing and sopped up the perfect egg yoke nicely #SupportMomN'PopNotChains”

“This place was sooooooo good! I tried it today for the first time and 10/10 recommend!! I ordered the Korean kimchi($14) and it was so freaking yummy! Friendly staff perfect customer service everyone was so nice! My fiancée and I ate and our bill was $37 definitely cheap for the amount of food you get!! Today they offered a deal of spending $25 get a free appetizer we definitely took advantage!”

“Food was good and fresh. The chicken was seasoned just right for the chicken Alfredo”

“Tonight was a surprise. No longer a craft brew house, now a full service bar. Place was busy, so that’s good. 20 minute wait for a draft beer, so that’s bad. What I saw tonight was a fun place if you’re in to crowds, but a disappointing place if you’re into a good draft beer. Been a patron for several years, purchased several kegs and lots of pints, but I didn’t recognize it tonight. Hoping this is an anomaly, but the 1/5ths behind the bar say otherwise.

I actually brought an empty keg planning to go home with 1 or 2 kegs, as I have done many times. I was told it would be at least 30 minutes before they could service me. I have never experienced this. Sure missed Nate tonight.

Was told it would be at least 30 minutes before someone could get me a keg, but stock limited. Had a couple beers and took my EMPTY keg home. So sad. Hate to go to Great Raft as my keg go to, but what can a guy do?

Update:
See excellent explaination below. Growing pains for small business. Tough waters to navigate. Still a Flying Tiger Fan, and I'm sure Nate's night off was well deserved. Seems he's always there when I go in.

Planning to continue to be support local when I can.”

“Great food and they will let you get tamale chili on your beef and cheese enchiladas. Great service, love the atmosphere”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ One of my favorite places to eat!”

“First time here but,not the last. We were there for my Son's Birthday..8 adults and 5 children under 5...Marissa met us at the door and suggested the party room,showed us how everything was done..Was the best and most attentive server we have ever had..and the food was delicious ?”

“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☺️”

“My son loved his birthday cake. Thurmond,s was so easy to order and it came out exactly as I asked. The cake was delicious and beautifully decorated. Will definitely be ordering from here again! I also love their frozen take home meals. They are easy and convenient!!”

“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!”

“Not many places you can find authentic & fresh & beautiful ceviche in Monroe… Milamoressteaks hits it out of the park for me, every-time!”

“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!”

“The best crawfish in the Monroe area, hands-down! Crawfish are seasoned well, hot and juicy. The catfish is also the best around. The food is always hot and fresh. Great service❤️”

“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.”

“Fiesta Linda in sterlington is one of the best Mexican restaurants in monroe and West Monroe aera hands down and the service is amazing very friendly and very professional and fast !! Our waiter Ethan brought me some salsa verda to try and omg amazing the food and salsa and every is just perfect!! This is our go to spot from now on !!!! Great job Fiesta Linda!!”

“We ate lunch here on a Friday. I got a muffuletta and 2 others got the buffet. I really liked the muffuletta and my companions really liked the deserts on the buffet. We paid $33 for our food including tax so it was a reasonable price for lunch. One con, I don’t really like the air hockey table as it was very loud the one time someone played it. Recommended for the food, but the air hockey table was distracting.”

“Great Food and Amazing People.”

“My mother lives near here, so we were looking for a close by place to take her. My expectations were low, but boy was I wrong. The brisket po boy was amazing and the gravy was phenomenal! My kids loved the rib sandwiches and twice baked potato salad. We will be back every time we're in town.
Edit: removed a star when I saw I was charged for tap water.”

“Food was good and love it there”

This morning I ordered a few things to try (almond scone, some sort of almond custard bar, lemon bar, berry cobbler bar, and rosemary focaccia bread) hands down the almond scone was my favorite but will be back for others too as well as different items next time!

“Great atmosphere with great service and friendly people! The Boba is fantastic as well with great flavor that explodes in your mouth!”

“We had a great night at Catfish Cabin - we hadn't had service like that in I really can't remember. We didn't feel rushed or just another table. Our server Tonya was amazing. She was so attentive, anticipating our needs before I was able to ask. Originally from down south about 45 min south of NOLA, I've been eatin' seafood all my life, and lemme tell ya, this place knows what they're doin'. With so many great menu options I couldn't decide. So Tonya recommended the stuffed crab. It was the best I'd had in a while. I left feeling as stuffed as that crab! I was so impressed i called back later that evening to talk to Tonya about possibly hosting a luncheon. She was so helpful, offering all sorts of options. She was very informative and told me while they do host parties and reservations, they also do bulk order requests and off-site catering. Tonya is definitely a keeper, a definite asset to Catfish Cabin. I will definitely request her the next time we are there.”

“Very bad customer service never have nothing take about an 45 min To order and get food. Ask the man what kind of burgers do they have and he said he didn’t know. The girl had on inappropriate clothes weave wasn’t combed.”
