“Driving back east from Charlotte area today and turn off US 74 looking for local place to eat. I found Ms. Allie’s Cafe and it did not disappoint. I had the Shrimp and Grits and it was delicious. The service was great. If you are Marshville are you got to try this place.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“Great customer service! I stopped today to get a cup of coffee. I start by saying I am not an avid coffee drinker. I let them know this and they made a suggestion, I did not like it. Before I left the establishment they made sure that I had a perfect cup of coffee that I enjoyed at no charge. If you haven't tried them you should go. #MonroeGem“

“Great place with great food and service. The very infamous rule about cell phones is understandable but it feels oppressive and makes you feel worried about even just looking at your phone on silent.

Parking: Very small parking lot. Difficult to find a space during busy times.“

“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!“

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

“FOOD AND ATMOSPHERE ARE GREAT.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“If you love a real hometown diner, then Oasis Sandwich shop is for you. They're located in downtown Monroe with plenty of parking. The menu has lots of sandwich choices, hot dogs and excellent grilled cheese sandwiches . Your order is make fresh everytime. The staff is friendly, the prices are good and it's not a chain establishment.“

“Absolute best in town!“

“6/16/23. A group of 20 of my sewing group ate at Mr G's, trying out the restaurant under new ownership. A couple of mix ups, when one of our guys got someone's vegetarian gyro. Got that quickly solved, and he decided that it was delicious too! Hot onion rings with real onion, great gizzard, pork chops, fish sandwich, hamburgers. All was fresh and hot from the kitchen and great service! We are very happy with the new "Mr G's", even though we miss Bill and the crew who had served us so well over the years. We will be back!!

Vegetarian options: The kitchen will accommodate your preferences with no problems“

“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!“

“The Skinny Cook is a true tribute to the classic American diner experience. The menu is exactly what you would expect and doesn't try to do too much, the result? Well executed and loving meals created by people with decades of experience.

The absolute highlight of the Cook? The staff. You will never find a more welcoming and down to Earth group of front house staff, even in your typical "higher class" establishments.

So if you want home cooking at a great price, in a comfortably country setting with 5 Star service, do yourself a favor and stop by the Skinny Cook and be sure to tip your waitress!“

“Had a great experience at Southern Roots today with my three young children. The staff was super kind and accommodating to us and I really appreciated it! My burger was amazing too. We will definitely be back!“

“great food and atmosphere!“

“Felicite is an amazing bartender! Always smiling and serving quickly. We will be back“

“This is one of my favorite restaurant staples. I can count on consistency in the food quality. The staff is always friendly and knowledgeable. My favorite dish is the blackened Mahi-Mahi with grilled shrimp.“

“Great service ! Good food ! We enjoy going at night ❤️“

“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!“

“Everything and everyone. Pleasant and scrumptious food. Come in from Pageland😘“

“love to eat here great employee's“

“One chico was kinda funny didn’t want to take our order we was with a big group but the guy who got us got a big tip nexts time she’s will learn“

“Had lunch with a party of 16 there on Sunday after church and want to commend a job well done by our server, Lincoln. He was great!! Always had a smile on his face, everything come out as order, very attentive to our large group and great service all the way around. Steak was cooked perfect and everything else was great. But the smile and pleasant service from Lincoln was the best. Thanks Lincoln for taking great care of our large family!!!“

“We dine at Chili's often and the service and the food is always fresh and delicious. Bill Applegate is always helpful with our needs concerning an allergy issue we have and Bill always aims to please. The waitstaff is always friendly and we are never disappointed with our dining experience. Bill and his crew do a fantastic job! This Chili's never fails to provide 5* food and service. Thanks!“
