8 Best Southern Restaurants near Monroe

“My first time coming here I really enjoyed the food getting takeout. I got the lunch special with fish, mac and cheese, mashed potatoes and gravy and paid extra for a slice of carrot cake, I would definitely come and get the same meal again. Just wish they were open for dinner and weekends, hard to make it during the week while working.“

“FOOD AND ATMOSPHERE ARE GREAT.“

“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.“

“So, I left this same review on Google, but I feel it needs to be seen in more places! Golden Corral in Monroe, NC, thank you for giving us that taste that most Golden Corrals have lost! Wife and I stopped in for lunch on a work trip. Honestly we had lost all hope in Golden Corrals, but something made me choose this one today. Wife and I were very surprised when we first came in contact with the cashier, and she actually had a pleasant attitude. Next, we grabbed our plates and headed to the buffet. The food had just been brought out. Normally an issue at these stores, the food sits there too long, so I figured it was just stroke of luck with them just bringing food out. So anyway, we got our first plates, and OH MY GOD, that first bite took us back to what Golden Corral was in the 90s!! This food was AMAZING!! Including the mashed potatoes that another comment said tasted bad. I counted at least 3 times they brought fresh food out of the back. We were there on a hour lunch. So yes, they kept food fresh! All the food was great! And our server….on point with everything. We didnt have one empty glass, and dirty plates didnt stay on the table long at all, she was also very friendly! I dont know whats with all the comments bashing this place, but our experience today was beyond what we hoped for. THIS is the way all Golden Corral stores need to be!“

“Food was excellent and great service!“

“Went by this morning. The lady’s were very nice. The food was great. And cheaper than the other places around. I will be back!!“

“Love the breakfast food and menu options. I'm a simple breakfast kinda guy, eggs, meat, side and I'm good to go. On those heavy breakfast days, add pancakes. All these items taste great and available. Grab a biscuit sandwich version to go and I'm set for lunch as well.“
