Restaurants near Monkey Island

“Tried the Sunday breakfast for the first time today. I’m so grateful for the staff and the wonderful food. Our family from the big city was really impressed with the decor of the restaurant and caliber of the food and service.”

“Keagan’s keeps getting better.. always accommodating vegan and gluten free treats. Now serving a fabulous cup of decaf. So lucky to have this gem right down the road. Thank you!!”

“If you need a place just to sit around and relax with good people this is the place to go and it is good to be there with people you know. Today really disappointed and staving. I guess I'll go next door for a pizza ? I go all the time and when it is so crowded like it was the other night with the parking lot full I will decline”

“Wonderful little restaurant. We stumbled upon it and loved the people and the food. Nice, cozy atmosphere with a very friendly staff. The only problem I had was that there were no cheese grits, but the owner said they would start serving it soon. I highly recommend this restaurant!”

“My husband and I went to the Fire Pit for the first time last weekend for the all you can eat crab! We have eaten in a lot of restaurants all over the country and by far this place was the best restaurant we have ever been too! The food was spot on great and the atmosphere was exceptional but above all the service was OUTSTANDING not just our waitress but everyone! I have never been somewhere that the entire restaurant staff has interacted and made you feel so welcome! 5 stars is honestly not enough! We will definitely be back and are bringing the rest the family too!! Thank you for such a great evening!!!”

“We were there with a large group but our service was top notch!! I'm not a big catfish eater but it was delicious! Thin crispy fillets and came out hot! The sides were delicious too loved the hushpuppies and”

“We had a group of 10 for breakfast and they accommodated us quickly. Our waitress, Carol, was super nice and kept us in coffee and drinks. The food was delicious. We would highly recommend this place.”

“Almost did not try because of odd name, bldg and location in a dusty gravel parking lot. Glad I did! Was a pleasant surprise! Case of don't judge a book by its cover. These folks are impressive! They are putting out a big variety of tasty comfort foods in a very fast, friendly manner. Price and very personable employees make up for the lack of decor like a Cracker Barrel. Too bad no dinner hrs, but could always order late lunch take out dinners! Chicken fried chicken with country gravy was yummy!Dietary restrictions: Had warmed sugar free syrup for giant pancake!”

“I cannot say enough about how amazing the owner/staff is. The place definitely takes you back a few decades, so cozy, so much to look at and I was amazed at everything being a repurposed item. I was traveling from Tulsa Oklahoma back to Michigan and this was a suggestion by someone in the city that said - don't bother with any place in the city. Go out route 66 and you will come across this little town and you can't miss the diner. Sure enough about 30 down, there it was! No way to miss it. And I suggest you don't!!”

“We have gone to Lupe's often for Mexican food and love it. But I decided to try their hamburger, WOW! It is the best and the fries are exceptional. The service is always the best. We can not recommend them enough.”

“Great place for lunch. Halfway through the meal, my wife already had picked out what she wanted on the next visit. Lots of selections that would work for a diabetic. We loved the food and the service was great. We will definitely be back.”

“Margherita pizza was delicious.My husband enjoyed the catfish and slaw.Drinks from the bar were well made and the staff was very friendly. We recommend the piña colodas!The view over the lake is nice and we enjoyed the live music.”

“First time there we will be back and lots of variety also. Some of the best tamales but the Fajita's and very reasonable. Forgot to take pics. Service is wonderful also.”

“Excellent food and service! Have gone many times. Dining room noisy though. Maybe add some sound absorbing panels. Can't bring our autistic grandsons, they can't handle the noise level.”

“Oh my goodness sooooo fabulous. A family business I will support ANY TIME i am within 50 miles. Incredible food and fabulous value and the friendliest folks you'll ever meet! Don't pass them by!!!”

You really can't go wrong with this place.Parking: There was ample parking on the street for the size of the restaurantKid-friendliness: Great atmosphere no problem taking the kids”

“Peeper is the BEST!!! The food is fantastic. There is so much room and cool air it makes you not want to leave. If you are lucky enough to have Peeper as a server you will be in great hands.”

“You can get a good burger, a cold beer or what ever devil drink your little black heart desires. Play some pool, sing some karaoke and meet some new ppl. Or sit at the table by yourself in the back.”

“We have been going to Pistol Pat's since we moved yo Langley 13 years ago. The food is always good, the place (and the onion rings) reminds me of a place that I grew up loving! Pistol Pat's is just a very good, privately owned, old-fashioned burger joint! I don't eat meat, but the fries, the onion rings, or the fried mushrooms make a wonderful meal for me, and my family can get their burgers. I recommend that you visit themVegetarian options: FriesOnion ringsCheese ballsI'm not sure of anything else”

“Needed close quick food for the fireworks crew, called got over and picked up 2 very good pizzas, will be on my list for the next time I'm in the area for another show.Thank you”

“Great Mexican restaurant, ask for Victor he’s the best server, though his section may be full for this reason. Try the carne asada steaks or the shrimp cocktail. Also the salsa picosa if you like it hot!”

“One of the best meals I've ever had. Was definitely worth the long drive. Our server was wonderful and they had electric harp players which really made the setting feel special. Hope to go back soon.”

“This is by far the most authentic tacos I’ve found in an hour radius. The barbacoa or carnita tacos are definitely my favorite. Their quesadillas are so perfectly crispy. You never would expect such good Mexican food on the island! Also the owner is such a vibe, very friendly, and always makes you feel welcome! He’s a local artist too and has a lot of his art on display throughout the restaurant. This is an eccentric experience that you can’t miss out on and is worth the drive. Get there early because they can definitely sell out of a lot throughout the day! We go 3+ times a week for lunch.”

“Oh boy.From the outside? Looks pretty average. When you step inside though… it’s like a museum for tacky Irish decor, and I’m in to it.Couple pool tables, shuffle board, owner/bartender was extremely attentive, coming round to the pool table to see if we needed another round, and he kept the juke box playing.$39 all said and done for 3 rounds of vodka soda (3 each that is)”

“Staff very friendly. Nice, chill vibes. I ordered the Philly steak sandwich and it was excellent. My husband ordered the chicken wings and they too were to his liking. We can see ourselves eating there again.”

“We had the all you can eat fried chicken, and it was ok. It was nice and crispy. The wait staff was friendly, not enough so that I can say it was a memorable trip. The "usuals" kinda stared because we were new. It's definitely a homestyle diner.”

“It's been a long time since we had the breakfast buffet anywhere. We were skeptic because many buffets don't have good bacon, but this place did. Enjoyed the sausage links which were spicy. The egg was not bad. Can't complain. One thing I could give them a little advice on is add a little water to the grits and a little water to the gravy to thin it out a little bit more. Overall great experience. We had fun with our server. For she was quick-witted the coffee cup was always taken care of.”
