The Exchange Pizza Depot MONROE 217 N Hayne St, Monroe Pizza • $$
217 N Hayne St, Monroe

“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”

Hilton Vineyard at The Vines 3310 Crow Rd, Monroe Wine Bar • $$
3310 Crow Rd, Monroe

“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.”

Main Street Bistro, Monroe NC 109 S Main St #5542, Monroe Italian • $$
109 S Main St #5542, Monroe

“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!”

“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”

“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.”

Carnitas Guanajuato Mexican Restaurant 2300 A W Roosevelt Blvd, Monroe Mexican • $$
2300 A W Roosevelt Blvd, Monroe

“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.”

“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.”

1404 Skyway Dr suite b, Monroe

“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!”
