18 Best American Restaurants in Monroe

“Great food and great service“

“If you asked me a few weeks ago if I would recommend this place, I probably would say yes. We usually never have any issues here but this past Saturday was terrible. There weren't many people inside which was nice but the hostess was so focused on her phone that she didn't see us come in. One of the waitress asked her if she helped us yet. I believe the owner took our order which she got wrong. I'm allergic to gluten and the Philly cheese was on a regular bun and not gluten free. She told me I spoke to quietly and didn't hear me. WTF? She heard me say my order ( Philly, meat and cheese, with fruit) but she didn't hear the gluten free part? I asked my daughter if I said it just to make sure and she said I did. Being a vegan is a choice, being allergic to gluten is not. I'm not sure if we will come back. She didn't even apologize. One of the other waitress was very nice about it and apologized.“

“Everything! Food excellent! Staff,the best!“

“I live in Maryland and often visit my sister who lives in Monroe.
The food is delicious and the services is as equally good.
I was blown away on a visit to the Palace and the waitress knew what I wanted.
Talk about extraordinary customer service.
Thank you for making me feel like part of the community.
I never leave town without a visit to the Palace for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
In addition the atmosphere is cozy and comfortable.
I wish there were more restaurants that took this type of time to take care of there customers.

KUDOS!! to the Palace.“

“Friendly staff, super clean, packed with older folks (lots if retired military) and affordable meals! Great place for a country breakfast with the family!“

“Duke Grill is hands down my favorite spot for burgers in the area! Open since 1951, it feels like stepping back in time the moment you walk in. The atmosphere is quaint, cozy, and full of old-school charm.

Be prepared to wait during busy times since seating is limited, but it’s well worth it. The food is always fresh, hot, and made to order, and you can taste the quality in every bite. On top of that, the staff is always friendly and courteous, which makes the experience even better.

If you’re looking for a classic, no-frills burger joint with history, heart, and fantastic food, Duke Grill is the place to go. 🍔✨“

“I was very hungry when I entered knife and fork on a Thursday at 4:00. The server with pierced face was very polite and nice and greeted me with smile when i entered the door. She was able to get the waitress and get my food to me quicker than I have ever had. Top notch service for a top-notch establishment. I will be coming here more often.“

“So cozy place!
The interior is incredible, as if you were in a museum and could drink coffee here.
Even the paper cups look great.
Friendly staff. Good choice of sweets.
I love places with atmosphere like this.
You can also buy coffee and handmade jewelry here.“

“Always an amazing experience coming here!! Been coming here for months with friends and family and always have such an incredible time! Ms.Jackie always is so welcoming and makes the visit so worth it each time!“

“FOOD AND ATMOSPHERE ARE GREAT.“

“Solange es Restaurants wie dieses gibt versuche ich die üblichen Burger-Ketten zu vermeiden! Der Service ist freundlich mit Herz, Humor und gut organisiert. Die Damen haben alles super unter Kontrolle. Das Essen wird auf Bestellung zubereitet, ist lecker und die Portionen reichlich. Das Ambiente passt und macht den Flair aus.“

“Wonderful food served with lovely service�����“

“Absolute best in town!“

“I placed a catering order of Salmon, Flounder ,Zucchini and Squash. Ben Helms at the Monroe location was so accommodating and helpful. His team prepared all the food and it was fabulous, seasoned to perfection, on time and did not disappoint. I will use Showmars in Monroe for my next event. So happy, I made the right choice, everyone enjoyed everything absolutely delicious.“

“Best hamburgers and TOTS around! Other food is just as tasty. If your there ask for Candace as your waitress!“

“Best lunch I have had in a while. Will be going back often.“

“Great chicken, the tenders are whole breasts, flattened and fried perfectly (they look like fried flounder); so good. Mac & cheese and okra are really good too. Very friendly staff and well worth any wait for fresh, great tasting food at fair prices. You won't be disappointed. Support local!“

“I have been going to Jade Kitchen for close to 10 years. Everything is always fresh and hot. I don't think I have ever had a complaint, but if I were ever to have one, I know they would fix it right away. They are super friendly, always smiling and happy to help. I definitely recommend you give them a try. You will not be sorry!“
