“Family/dog friendly local brewery with plenty of craft beers to choose from! They do not have food but often will have a good truck on weekends! We have gone a few times and have always had a good time. Parking is limited at the brewery, but there is plenty of parking within walking distance”
“Great brewery. Inside is really clean and had nice Americana decor. Hazy beer was delicious and prices were reasonable. Lots of food options close by. Will be back.”
“I didn’t get a picture of the pizza. It was too good! I just dived in and couldn’t take a break! We ordered pepperoni, onions, bell peppers, and banana peppers. It was absolutely delicious. We also ordered the depot salad. It was good but not as good as the pizza. We could hear the staff complaining from the kitchen is the only reason for the slightly lower rating. All the plants and punny shirts make the waiting atmosphere nice. Definitely recommend.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options”
“A good time - YESGood customer service - YESFamily owned and also treats you like family - YESI went on a Friday night which was Karaoke night. The drinks were flowing and some good singing was being done. They also have hookah. I will totally return the next time I'm in the Charlotte/Monroe area.”
“This is a small family owned and run vineyard. Their facility is very large, rustic and is beautiful inside and out. There are chairs and tables on a huge outdoor deck with fire pits they light on cool nights. There's a rear covered deck, a large covered front porch and the grounds are mesmerizing to see. Inside there's a wine tasting bar that rivals many vineyards three times the size. I've visited dozens of times and never tasted a wine that wasn't amazing. Their wine by the glass or the bottle are so reasonable that you'll want to take some home and the quaint logo and design on their wine bottles are made by family members. Family runs everything and are very helpful and accommodating. There are enough tables and chairs to support a very large crowd with a big dance floor. Of course, there are very clean rest rooms. Check their schedule online as they always have live bands, DJs, Elvis impersonators or karaoke going on. A beautiful, friendly place to visit and have some fun. The family will make you feel right at home. A must go to if you live in the area or are visiting.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“This place is definitely a favorite to get warm tortillas! And a delicious barbecue with rice, if you don't feel like cooking on Sunday this can be a delicious and economical option! You can even buy your sauces right there, without having to get out of your car on a rainy day??✨️”
“Hidden gem in downtown Monroe NC! I found out about them on social media and I'm glad I decided to give them a try. Very small restaurant and they recommend that you make a reservation via phone - something I didn't see on their website.The blackened grilled salmon (one of tonight's specials), French onion soup and crab stuffed mushrooms were the big hits of the night. VERY TASTY!!! The only critiques I have (and this is me being nit picky) was 1: the green bean side. I personally like crunchy green beans. That said, they were still well seasoned. And 2: my fiancee ordered spaghetti and meatballs and she felt like the noodles could have been seasoned more. But that's just how we do it at home.The prices are very reasonable for the quality and portions of the food and service which was spot on IMO. If you're reading this, do yourself a favor and go check them out. You'll thank me for it!”
Restaurants with Delivery
“We had the cheesy bread, wings and pizza. Everything was very good. The dining room has several vintage video games, a small pool table, air hockey and the counter has an assortment of vintage action figures. You can enter from the front of the shops at Nottingham or enter on the side of the building. We fed five of us for less than $60, which we can't do at most places. Staff was friendly and helpful - definitely stop in!”
“What an amazing place with amazing people! I stopped in to buy a dessert. I'm not a coffee fan! Kyle was working and told me he could make me something he knows I would like! I doubted him, but obliged. He made me something called Santa's Milk and Cookies Chi. It was the most delicious hot drink I've ever had! I was very pleasantly surprised! Michelle was working too. She showed me the favorites board and told me to try the Apple Pie Chi next time. I definitely will do so! This place will be a new frequent stop for me! Thank you Kyle and Michelle for getting me hooked on trying new drinks! BTW, they have great desserts!”
“My friend suggested that I go there with my daughter for lunch! This place is amazing! Love the vibe and energy! The staff is very friendly and helpful! We ordered the Thai chicken wrap. We omitted a few ingredients and asked for the sauces on the side. The wrap was delicious! We will definitely make the 1hr 45 minutes road trip to eat here again.”
“Great place to chill- excellent coffee with so many options and flavors! Also teas, pastries, cookies, and a drive-thru!! Owner is ready and willing to make whatever combination you like ? (including sugar-free!)”
“My boyfriend and I went to Pepperoni’s because of the reviews and the reviews were on point. We got the BBQ pizza with pork and garlic bread sticks. The service was great! The pizza tasted great! Loved the pulled pork on the pizza with the bbq sauce. The garlic bread sticks were great too! Definitely recommend everyone to check Pepperoni’s Pizza if you want some really good pizza!”
“I dined in and had a take out, but the young waitress has no sense. First, she gave me a burning hot skillet without a handel cover, and it burned my fingers. I had to ask for a cup of ice to cool my fingers.She has ZERO SENSE on how to pack the food. I got a take out shrimp meal with a salad and rice. She was dumb enough to pack the salad under a sauce full of shrimp. I told her that she is supposed to keep the cold stuff in a separate box because when I'm ready to eat in 4 to 5 hours, the lettuce salad will be soggy and nasty. Her dumb response was " THAT IS HOW WE PACK IT HERE."That means you don't believe in using your brain at all?”
“Although it was cold, we sat outside with our puppy and 4 kids. Fish and chips was amazing! Katelyn took great care of our large group. Our friends come here all the time, and so glad they shared this lovely spot with us! All the staff were very friendly. Everyone was happy with food choice… next time I’ll get the Reuben, ”

“Overall the food and service was great, but the only thing I suggest is that the bacon be cooked fresh to order out the pack and not over cooked. I'll be back again ?”
“A good time - YESGood customer service - YESFamily owned and also treats you like family - YESI went on a Friday night which was Karaoke night. The drinks were flowing and some good singing was being done. They also have hookah. I will totally return the next time I'm in the Charlotte/Monroe area.”
“Great spot for a meal. Excellent cook and service. Almost felt I wasn't quite local enough yet to eat there, but not in a bad way. I have only lived in Monroe for 3 months. They also do a brisk carry out business. Give 'em a call!”
“An amazing place to get some bangin food! Decided to give it a chance one night and have gone back at least once a week since!The best burger and fries I've had from the nicest people you'll meet!Come check it out, you won't regret it”
“Conversational Spanish 2020. This was the dining location we went to after the completion of the class. The application of Espanol as the dining began was memorable! Taco who? If you're looking for true mexican cuisine, I recommend this restaurant!”
“As long as there are restaurants like this, I'll try to avoid the usual burger chains!The service is friendly with heart, humor and well organized. The ladies have everything under control.The food is made to order, is tasty and the portions are generous.The ambience fits and creates the flair.The restaurant loses one star because of the outside toilets.”
“This place is definitely a favorite to get warm tortillas! And a delicious barbecue with rice, if you don't feel like cooking on Sunday this can be a delicious and economical option! You can even buy your sauces right there, without having to get out of your car on a rainy day??✨️”
“Best birrias and tacos in Monroe. Moving from Florida we had a hard time finding good tacos and birrias around, someone recommended me this place. Service was okay, but it's understandable it's a small place where not a lot people eat in.In regard of food quality, is was great, no complains. Been twice and is constant.Recommend!”
“A review for those that don't know about the Monroe Mexican community. If ever if this are, make time to stop by Taqueria Romero's.Amongst the better taquerias I've been to. The food is very good, the service is very good and the ambience is a clean with plenty of seating.My drink was very refreshing and not overly sweet. The tacos were delicious, not greasy and very generously served with the usual salsa verde, Pico de Gallo lime and jalapeño slices.Absolutely recommend if looking for an authentic taqueria experience.”
“(Translated by Google) It is a good place to eat, there are days when you find homemade food which is very good.(Original)Es un buen lugar para comer, hay días que encuentras comida casera la cual es muy buena.”

“This review is overdue. I stopped by on Saturday, 12-31-22. I was leaving Target & wanted dinner from a new spot to end the year.I picked a good time to go as they were not very busy. I ordered the shrimp hot with all the seasonings. I also added a side of hush puppies; they were ok but I probably wouldn't order them again.I spoke to who I believe was the owner while waiting for my order. We talked about the sister restaurant on Independence in Charlotte. If I'm hungry while in Monroe, I'd stop by again.”
“The food is outstanding! I had the hot and sour soup, egg roll and the House special fried rice. My husband had the pork with Chinese vegetables, wonton soup and egg roll. My other family members had General Tso's chicken, wonton soup and egg rolls. We all loved the taste of the food and can't wait to go back again!”
“My family and I are new to this area and this is our first time coming to your location. I must say the service was excellent. The food was great, the environment very clean. The young lady who served us I believe her name was Victoria went above and beyond to make sure my family was taken care of, we’ll definitely be back for her smile and great service.Kid-friendliness: Victoria went above and beyond to make sure our Littles were well taken care of and fed yummy food”
“To be a chinese restaurant they really serve delicious food and that's all i can say never had i ever went here and had a bad experience so i'm giving you five stars”

Jet's Pizza
“Consistently make you wait 5 minutes as a doordasher (the pickup time is always right but sometimes they send the order out to dasher to early) but I get it cause it takes 20 minutes to make”
“Omg this was amazing. If your looking for a new York style pizzeria this is the place to go. It is just like my favorite pizzeria from when I lived in central New York, feels like I am back home. I'll go back to this place weekly it's that good. The pizza is exactly everything you see as New York style pizza flavor, look and mouth feel. I got baked ziti to take with me to work and it looks sooo good I can't wait to dig in. Check this place out you won't be disappointed”

“Ordered to-go breakfast for my partner and I today and the person that took our order and checked us out was so kind and helpful!! The food came out so quickly and was probably the best quality waffle house meal I’ve ever had, but our server stole the show. They greeted us warmly, were enthusiastic to talk to us and even said, “Thank you friend” at the end, which was super sweet. It made coming back home for the holidays that much better, I wish I could take the Monroe Waffle House back to school with me!!! Will definitely be back before my winter break ends!!”
“This is the best jack in the box i have ever been to. Super clean fabulous service and top notch food. Will always come here for late night because its the best place in Monroe.”
“Excellent service and accurate meal. They launched the Halloween Buckets so super excited to see them back. Mcdonald's has always been one of my favorite fast food places to eat. Just wish you could get breakfast all day.”
“I absolutely love this place! This is my new "go to" spot when I want good food & a good drink. I never wait long, always get the seating I want, the food is consistently good & if you are a vegan or vegetarian there are great options for you.”
“My son Jack and I had a wonderful dinner together. I ordered my favorite, the Jocelyn Special (chicken enchiladas with cheese sauce), and he ordered a kids meal taco combo. The service & food were amazing! We love this place and will certainly be back.”
“Was our first visit. I assume because it was around midnight on Saturday night, they have the music loud for their customers?It was so loud that I had to yell at my wife, who was sitting just across from me.I ordered a simply Quesadilia. Imo, the meat that was on it was not hamburger meat.If it was, it was prepared completely differently than any hamburger meat I have tasted in 52 years. My wife ordered a taco salad. She said it was okay, but it was definitely not good. The sweet tea wasn't very sweet at all. The lady that came to the table was very friendly, and spoke English pretty well. I feel bad for this review.If it had not been SO loud and the food had some kind of flavoring, I would have left a much higher rating. I definitely don't think we will be returning. For what food we got. in my opinion, it was not work $32.50. But I did leave the usual 15% for the lady.Again. I do not like leaving such a low rating. Also, maybe it was bad timing? Idk?but I definitely saw no reason to be frisked at the door either. I suppose because I have long hair and look like a biker or maybe even a ( troublemaker), that was why. But either way, it wasn't a good experience at al!!!!!!!Parking: They have an average sized park lot for the size of the restaurant. Which neither are very big.Kid-friendliness: I saw probably 6 or 7 smaller children in their with their families. When I say children, I mean 8 to 12 years old.Wheelchair accessibility: Entrance has where anyone confined to a wheel chair has easy access to and from the restaurant. With no issues or curbs obstructing them in any way.”

This place is my go to place on cheat day over all the other restaurants around.Remember to bring cash and TIP like you mean it ??? they deserve it ??”

“My family and I love AJ Family Restaurant. The food is always delicious, the atmosphere is laid back and friendly, and the prices are great. We love their breakfast and dinner choices. Everything is scrumptious.”
“Hands down La Esperanza has the best mexican bread in town. I drive 30 minutes every weekend to buy their bread because its a mexican household staple with coffee on the weekends.”
“I’ve come here for as long as I can remember; as a child. Every time I come I feel as though I’m having flashbacks of the past with my family. The service is always great here. Food is awesome here and fast. I recommend them to all. Thank you for always being a place that feels like home.”
“During my visit to Neveria El Chavo ice cream parlor with my family, we unfortunately couldn't enjoy their ice cream due to a peanut allergy within our group. Despite not being able to taste their creations, I still want to give them a five-star review for their commendable practices and excellent service.One remarkable aspect of Neveria El Chavo is that they make their ice cream by hand. This dedication to crafting their own creations shows their commitment to quality and uniqueness. I appreciate the effort they put into their products, even though I couldn't personally experience them.The staff at Neveria El Chavo were friendly and attentive. I especially liked how the owner came out to ask about our decision to leave. This personal touch, along with their genuine interest in customer feedback, showcases their dedication to providing the best experience possible. Surveying customers about their experiences is a great business practice that demonstrates their commitment to continuous improvement.While I couldn't indulge in their ice cream due to the peanut allergy concerns, I would highly recommend Neveria El Chavo to those without peanut allergies. Their handmade ice cream and friendly service create a promising atmosphere for a delightful treat. Don't hesitate to give them a try if you have the opportunity.Overall, Neveria El Chavo's commitment to crafting their own ice cream, friendly service, and genuine interest in customer feedback deserve high praise, despite my inability to taste their offerings.”
“I lived in Taiwan for over ten years.The Bubble Milk Black Tea and Spicy Beef Noodle are absolutely legit.The portion is enormous: one order could fill up two people.It's like a quart of broth.Al dente noodles.Everything kept separated until you mix it when you're eating it.Truly spicy: their jalapeño are even fresh - that tells you everything.The restaurant is spotlessly clean, run by a family, and very friendly.Zero bad things to say.See photos for proof.Vegetarian options: You won't find fresher vegetables. The menu is small so they keep it very fresh.”
“I had never even heard of this restaurant before this morning. It has been here for years! Let me just say, wow! The service, the atmosphere and the food were absolutely perfect! The most perfectly grilled English muffin and the largest omelet I’ve seen in a long time! If you leave here hungry, you did something wrong.”
“Amazing staff and the hot dogs are the best in town... it's so sad that I don't even know if they sell anything else. Because I only go for the hot dogs....”
“Place is off the chain I had breakfast 2eggs ,grits,fried pork chop and bacon .fried pork chop was amazing it was all delicious best breakfast I've atefrom anywhere around”
“I used to be a regular customer at the old Gus restaurant.I went for the first time today since they re-opened. The new owners put a lot of time and effort into this place. The restaurant looks bigger and looks very nice.The breakfast I had was great. I also enjoyed a nice fresh, squeezed orange juice. The servers are very nice and treat you with a smile. The lunch menu looks good too, I will have to go back for lunch soon. The prices are fair, and you get good portions.I will be a regular customer again.This place is also family friendly.You need to give this place a try. You won't be disappointed.Parking: There are plenty of parking spots.Kid-friendliness: They have a kids' menu. The place is friendly to everyone.”
“Hidden gem in downtown Monroe NC! I found out about them on social media and I'm glad I decided to give them a try. Very small restaurant and they recommend that you make a reservation via phone - something I didn't see on their website.The blackened grilled salmon (one of tonight's specials), French onion soup and crab stuffed mushrooms were the big hits of the night. VERY TASTY!!! The only critiques I have (and this is me being nit picky) was 1: the green bean side. I personally like crunchy green beans. That said, they were still well seasoned. And 2: my fiancee ordered spaghetti and meatballs and she felt like the noodles could have been seasoned more. But that's just how we do it at home.The prices are very reasonable for the quality and portions of the food and service which was spot on IMO.

“Love their rice, I think it is Jasmine rice and maybe has some butter on it. I don't know exactly but it is so good. Their wonton soup is great too. Did not care for the sweet and sour sauce but that is personal preference, it was too sweet, the chicken it came with was good though.”
“After a long workday, I visited this quaint restaurant recommended by coworkers. The burgers were fresh, delicious, and had a homemade feel. The service was outstanding, creating a warm, friendly atmosphere. With over half a century in business, you can taste why this place has stood the test of time.”

“They have the best good hands down! Food is always fresh and hot when I order. The wait is never too long. I usually eat here at east twice a week. The menu is awesome! Please try the shrimp and fish! It's the best ?!”

Tavern 74
“Perfect little spot for the city of monroe. Kind of reminds me of cheers. Everybody friendly, everybody welcome. I don't give 5 stars Lightly. Tavern 74 has earned it. Two thumbs up.”
“Driving around the neighborhood I imagined there would be a line. So I waited until the day I was not that hungry lol waited 25 mins, got the most genuine bento box you will find in town and the most attentive server!!! Thank you !!”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“I’ve come here since I was little with my mama. I love the manager here and the staff and how they treat the customers! Always great food and service! Good food for good money and portions! Can’t beat it at all! I miss coming here as I used to but I always look forward to visiting ! Much love for this restaurant & I absolutely recommend them to everyone!”
“I love this one because it's in the mall and I don't have to drive around the parking lot 3 times before I order. The people that work there are extremely nice and do their job very well! My son loves Chick-fil-A ❤️”
“I love all of the variety of food that they have!Vegetarian options: Yams,corn on the cob, cabbage etc.etc.Parking: There is plenty of parking space.Kid-friendliness: They have booster seats for the little ones.Wheelchair accessibility: It is wheelchair accessible.”
“How can you go wrong with this brand? Chick-fil-A is the pinnacle of the fast food world and this location doesn't fall short of those standards. The food was fresh, the customer service was impeccable, and everything was clean. Those guys sure know how to treat a customer. I wish every fast food joint had those same high qualities and standards.”
“Food is always very yummy, I never dine in bc tbh the table and seats don't look in the best condition BUT the drive thru is perfect and the food looks good and sanitary. I don't interact much with the workers since I always get mobile pick up/drive thru, but I never had any issues. The food comes out hot and fast, it is a bit expensive but it's worth it once in a while.”
“It's KFC, nothing out of the ordinary. The things that would have increased or decreased my rating are the service and the atmosphere or if the food was bad.”
“Love the chicken salad and the turkey sandwiches. They are a bit stingy on the onions, but the food is delicious. Prices are a little higher than other fast food places, but worth it.”
“The food and service are great, but the parking lot is uncomfortably small. I don't like how the drive-thru exits onto 74. The chicken strip basket is often hot and fresh which I can't say about other ”
“I had a super cool experience at this location. My French toast sticks and super bacon 🥓 was one of a kind. Bring back cinnamon raises. Chill dogs fried chicken”
“I went through drive tho at a good time of day.Ordered a Whopper and med.fries to take home.When I got home had to warm food in microwave.Since I haven't had a Wooper and fries since Nov it was ”
“Great place, great ice cream! Amber is an asset to this company! I had a small issue which she resolved promptly. I recommended the banana split and chocolate waffle cone. We will be back!”
“Love this place. I've actually made several good friends there and service is almost always good. I love the frozen drinks they make!!! I see others complaining about staff changes but it's with any business especially fast food. Some workers don't tend to stay too long and with training new ones comes slower times but I don't care. They've always been so good to me! And if ever something is wrong they always immediately make things right again!”
“I personally go to this Sonic's compared to the one in Indian trail as the food is always good, hot and fresh. Nice and friendly service. Definitely recommend even if it is a little longer of a drive.”
“Let me start by saying my food was REALLLY GOOD!!! However, it was filthy in there!! The workers were all young and very sweet however they needed some help. For example, if you're cooking, you should not use the same gloves you're wearing to cook to handle the register etc. Clean off the tables so patrons can sit and eat and wipe off the food counters so they don't look disgusting and covered with food.”
“The servers were very nice, the food was what would you expect from a fried fish restaurant. It was tasty. I would go back again. This place definitely caters to an older crowd but that’s alright because that just means the servers have been pre-conditioned to be extra patient due to the influx of older folks.Parking: Tons of parking.”
“We stopped in last night an let me tell you.. It is totally worth the hour drive.. Everything was fresh, salad bar crisp.. Meats and fried chicken juicy.. Grilled chicken was juicy, the staff was friendly and funny to talk with and place was just filled with smiles and happy bellies.. Makes you feel good when you go in to a place, we were cold and dirty from riding side by side all day.. Got a few stares cause we were dirty but money spends the same! I will be makin this our Sun stop in coming home from riding.. Delicious , and the dessert peach cobbler was yummy too, tea was awesome! All the naysayers stay home and save it for the ones that enjoy it! Thank you Quincy’s”
“I'm giving 4 stars because I've actually eaten better in regards to the quality of the cuts of meat. On this last visit the meat was not so soft! I ordered an outlaw.”
Cheap Eats
“Location can be deceiving, but don't let that fool you. Food is good, brought to you in a matter of minutes, servers are attentive, overall a pretty good experience. The carne asada tacos are stuffed nicely. 3 of those can tame anyone's hunger; and the tripas tacos are superb. Be careful with the salsas, they're hot. My favorite was the green one.Parking: Parking spots are limited at front of building, due to adjacent businesses, but parking lot is pretty big.”
“My boyfriend brought me here as a surprise for date night and I felt like a kid in a candy store! The concept is my favorite part and it works so smoothly! The woman was so nice to help me, explain the system and what she recommends based on the beers I drink. I will be back again again anytime I come to town!”
“Cash only! You can get so many delicious carbs here for less than $20! My picture is maybe $10 worth of baked goods as we had already devoured half of the haul. Everything is delicious and fresh!”
“They made my tres leches birthday cake it was beautiful and delicious! Everyone loved the cake! I also love the service, the people that I placed the order with were so sweet. Great price. God bless you all!”
“We popped in on a Friday night after a long week of adulting to have a drink, and glad we did! The atmosphere is a relaxing bournon bar. They have fine art prints on the walls,TVs throughout playing sports of different kinds and music ( last night it was 90s mix!) plays while you sip your drink. There is plenty going on to look at, but nothing loud or in your face like you get in bars sometimes. Bartenders stay busy, but service stays moving. They offer beer and wine as well as an impressive list of bourbon and other liquors you can buy by the glass. Cocktails are reasonably priced,mostly between $8-12. They do not serve food but have some snacks ( peanuts) for sale. They have lots of seating inside and a few tables outside. They have large tables good for groups or a few small groups could.sit together. The bar area features plenty of seating as well. We actually came opening day and naturally is was crowded and not the best experience ( slow service, mistakes with drinks,etc) but you expect that in the beginning. I think they've come a long way with service. The place looks better now, and prices seem a little more reasonable than at the opening. This is definitely a place to go next time you want to relax and have a drink! Cheers”
“This Monterrey location is superior to all others. The food here is delicious across the board. The sweet tea is consistently good. The mixed drinks, especially their strawberry mojito, are on point! I haven't found anything wrong with this location. The staff is super nice. The restaurant is always clean. There is sometimes a short wait, but they'll get you in quickly as possible. They have live music on certain nights. They will sing a happy birthday song. It's an all-around great restaurant.”
“My dad and I love love love the Village Grill. After my mom died my dad & I were looking for somewhere to go and have a nice breakfast or lunch & we found it. We feel so at home at the Village, that’s what my dad calls it, from the food which is phenomenal and the decor, which we love. The staff is above and beyond anything we could ever have imagined. They are all so nice and welcoming and have always made my dad and me feel like family. Go to the Village, it’s the best.”
“So much food! Definitely only need to order the ribs next time with the loaded potato. Would love to try the potato with the chicken. The banana pudding is outstanding. Definitely will be ordering from here again!”
“We were about 40 ladies and we ordered at the counter and the food came out very fast as each order was done. They were prepared for us....the food was very good and the portions were large. I had fried shrimp, french fries, hush puppies and Cole slaw with my order....”
“I was driving by and saw it so I gave it a try. So good! A great hole in the wall with delicious Mexican food. The staff was friendly and the food came out fast.”
“Showmars has been around the Charlotte area for a long time and now has many locations. The food is both Greek and Southern inspired. Their fish sandwich is a staple for me but all the entres are good. The restrooms are clean and there is rarely a wait.”
“Don's service was so awesome! He's literally the coolest worker y'all have I'm sure! Whoever raised this kid hould have a nobel peace price. Yall should give him a pay ”
“The coffee was great and I walked around in here and checked out there stuff too.Its for a very good cause and they also take donations here too.Come down and try the coffee.I never knew this place was here.The lady here was very friendly. Stop by guys”
“Love this place! Have for years. My family tends to pick this place as the place we go for birthdays and when we have family in town. Yummy, yummy, yummy! I love their queso dip.Kid-friendliness: The kids plates have just the right amount of food. Plus the kids really enjoyed it!”
“I haven't written a review in a while, but I was driven to write one because of the service yesterday! At approximately 8 p.m., I felt like ordering a Caramel Frappuccino while shopping at Target.There was no person in line, so the employee was quick to take my order. This man was one of the nicest, most professional starbucks employees. I decided to pay with a gift card that I was gifted by my parents. The card either declined or had an error, and since I just scratched off the card to show the code, he decided to make my drink while I was attempting to resolve things. Right when he finished, we figured things out. I received my drink, and it looked AMAZING. It looked PERFECT and vibrant! It is true that looks can be deceiving, but its taste was FANTASTIC! I have not tasted a Caramel Frappuccino as good as when I tried my first one. It was so good that I felt the need to preserve it. ?This was simply an amazing experience and I hope this employee (I unfortunately did not get his name) is doing well!”
“Stopped in for a quick, late lunch while waiting for my grandson to be born at the hospital down the road. Got pork rinds and wings and shared them with my daughter. We were both pleasantly pleased with the food, the waitress and the atmosphere! I'll definitely be back when I come back through Monroe. Check them out!”

“The food is delicious, and the serving size is large. It was newly renovated, so it is beautiful. The service is great, and the food comes out quickly. I like that it is a family owned business and not a chain restaurant.Parking: At a quiet time, there is plenty of parking, but on a Saturday night, it can be tricky since it is right behind a chain Mexican restaurant.”
“1st time there. Our waitress, Ava was such a a bright light so joyful and kind. I appreciate her attention to her customers. Definitely enjoyed her energy. The food was so amazing. Everything we had we loved. We took a lot home because we ordered a lot but we tasted everything and the flavors are so vibrant and full. Everything was prepared so nicely the presentation was nice. The place was nice and cozy, had a nice romantic feel to it at night with the lighting. It's a nice option to sit down unwind and relax. Enjoy with friends or family or both. Thanks for the great experience.”
“I’m sure I might be working her name incorrectly as a lot of people do mine, but Jamilyn was amazing. Truly the best server I’ve had *ever*. Never have I ever had a server ask my name, say it right, AND remember it. You guys have a great one. Also the Monterrey chicken was the bomb dot com!”
“Tucked away in the far corner opposite Compare Food in the Monroe Shopping Plaza you will find Paisanos. And what a neat little find it is, too! Take out only with a buffet I ordered a simple beef taco to go. While their usual order is more substantial, they politely made my taco, wrapped it up, and charged me a meager $3. Yum, I'm on my way! Might I suggest checking them out for carnitas by the pound, handmade tortillas by the dozen, and shrimp or tamales from the buffet. Top off your order with something sweet from the shelves or freezers in the middle of the store, too. Has the taste buds on my "give 'em a whirl" meter begging for more. Go here!”
“I’ve come here since I was little with my mama, every time I come in I’m welcomed very nicely. I love the staff here and the food and my experiences are always pleasant. I look forward to visiting again at some point. Food is amazing here, good portions of food and the value for the taste I can’t beat it. I love my red bowls.”

“Showmars has been around the Charlotte area for a long time and now has many locations. The food is both Greek and Southern inspired. Their fish sandwich is a staple for me but all the entres are good. The restrooms are clean and there is rarely a wait.”
“So much food! Definitely only need to order the ribs next time with the loaded potato. Would love to try the potato with the chicken. The banana pudding is outstanding. Definitely will be ordering from here again!”
“The servers were very nice, the food was what would you expect from a fried fish restaurant. It was tasty. I would go back again. This place definitely caters to an older crowd but that’s alright because that just means the servers have been pre-conditioned to be extra patient due to the influx of older folks.Parking: Tons of parking.”
“Hathaway's Fried Chicken 'n Biscuits is the best! I got the 3 Piece Tender Dinner w Double Tater Wedges and sweet tea and Sam got the Popcorn Chicken plate w Mac n Cheese and Tater wedges! Always cooked golden brown to perfection! Hot, fresh, fast, and all of the girls up here are so nice! Thank you Hathaway's! We'll definitely be back!”

This smallFamily-owned restaurant has a fun menu- something for everyone and a yummy desert case with decadent treats. The service was fast and friendly. I chatted with the young lady at the register who made suggestions for this and my next visit (there will be another visit). In comparison to other places I’ve visited here in Monroe, this may just be my favorite!! I’ll be back to try their Chubrolls- they have my curiosity piqued!!”

“This is the only place to get a sub Subway is no place to go unless you like brown lettuce Rotten Tomatoes add them to weigh out your food on a scale to make sure they're not giving you too much meat I can eat Firehouse Subs all day long they are awesome but Subway is so stingy with their food that's really not getting what you pay for so I'm glad we have Firehouse if you really want to eat a good sub go to Firehouse”

“We had the cheesy bread, wings and pizza. Everything was very good. The dining room has several vintage video games, a small pool table, air hockey and the counter has an assortment of vintage action figures. You can enter from the front of the shops at Nottingham or enter on the side of the building. We fed five of us for less than $60, which we can't do at most places. Staff was friendly and helpful - definitely stop in!”

“We decided to stop by and see the Mariachi band. It was fun and they sounded great! The food was overall good, but small details could be improved for a 5 star. The waitress was very friendly and was bilingual so there was no worries for me as I only speak English. The atmosphere was very cheerful and inviting. The decor was very authentic and beautiful as it looked like the chairs and tables were hand painted. We will definitely be back!”
