“Went in for the first time on a Saturday with my husband and was impressed. The food was absolutely amazing, I got the Big Mick with collards. Typically I only eat half a burger and I’m full, i literally ate every single bite. All food was freshly made, from what appears to be scratch. Can’t say enough good things about the food and even the server who was attentive and helpful with questions. I highly recommend!”

So when we got home we didn't have any to put on the sandwiches Amazing Firehouse subs. Best one around. Definitely much better than the Athens Tennessee one”

“🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
If there were such a thing as a 7-star review, Monkey Town Brewing Company in Dayton, TN would wear it like a badge of honor.

After 34 years of shared adventures, my wife and I thought we’d seen it all—until Monkey Town Brewing stunned us with a masterclass in hospitality, flavor, and thoughtful design. From the moment we walked in, the attention to detail in the décor whispered stories of Dayton’s rich heritage, blending rustic charm with a modern pulse that felt both familiar and fresh.

🍅 The Tomato Soup deserves its own standing ovation. My bride, not one to toss out superlatives lightly, declared it “the best she has ever had.” That’s not just praise—it’s legacy-level culinary achievement.

🍺 The “put It in Reverse” IPA was a revelation. Cleverly named and brilliantly brewed, it paired perfectly with the town’s historical backdrop—especially the nod to evolutionary theory, which felt like a poetic wink to Dayton’s Scopes Trial legacy. This isn’t just beer; it’s storytelling in a glass.

👑 And then there was Grace—our spectacular waitress. Informative, kind, and effortlessly engaging, she elevated the entire experience. Grace didn’t just serve us; she guided us through the menu like a seasoned curator of joy. Her warmth and knowledge deserve public recognition. If Monkey Town Brewing is the heart of Dayton, Grace is its soul.

Whether you’re a local or just passing through, this place is more than a brewery—it’s a celebration of craft, community, and care. Monkey Town Brewing doesn’t just meet expectations”

“I've never gotten bad food here. The employees are always pleasant and accomodating. It is a food stand so you can't say much for atmosphere, but the picnic table area is always clean. The food is nice and homemade food that you would expect from a family kitchen. Tasty, pretty flavorful, and quickly prepped. Prices have gone up some, and some items are a bit overpriced but most are just right.

Parking: adjoins a church that's only open on sundays, easy parking

Wheelchair accessibility: you can wheel up - it is on grass turf and gravel so it may be a bit of an obstacle”

“Stopped at Carrabelle's on a Saturday night while passing through Dayton. Katie, our server, was extremely friendly and helpful. I ordered the pretzel appetizer with honey mustard and queso to start. The pretzels were perfect. So soft on the inside and delicious. For my entree, I decided on the Pan-seared Mahi Mahi, baked potato and side house salad for my 2 sides of choice. The fish was perfect. Baked potato was great, and the salad was all fresh. This was a delightful stop on our trip. Menu had plenty to choose from. Our food did take a little while to arrive, but I personally don't worry about that if the food is good, and this was worth the wait.”
