Why Travelers Love The Monroe

4.5 / 5.0(793 reviews)

The food at Monroe is solid for brunch, but honestly, it really shines at dinner. The biscuits at brunch were a little on the crunchy side, but still tasty. Our chicken and waffles were good, though the waffles had more of a funnel cake consistency than a traditional waffle. Dinner, on the other hand—WOW. We came last week and that fried chicken meal with the mac and cheese and mashed potatoes was 10/10 (really 100000/10). Absolutely delicious! The service is always great here, too—the servers are attentive and make the experience even better. I’ll definitely be back for dinner, and I’d be open to giving brunch another shot. My wife and I, along with a group of friends (6 total), had brunch at The Monroe. Upon arrival for our reservation, we were warmly greeted by the hostess. The vibe was relaxed and welcoming, with a modern, comfortable atmosphere. I ordered the shrimp and grits, while my wife went with the chicken and waffles. The shrimp and grits not only looked amazing but delivered on flavor — creamy, well-seasoned grits paired with perfectly cooked shrimp and just the right amount of spice. The chicken and waffles were equally impressive. The Belgian waffles were crisp on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside, and the chicken was tender, moist, and perfectly crispy. Every bite was packed with flavor. The dessert cinnamon bun is a must try. So happy I found this spot. The space is HUGE, and honestly could be a great venue for a holiday party or a birthday dinner. It’s pretty, classy, and welcoming. The food and drinks were also INCREDIBLE! I’ve had both their brunch and dinner menu options and I was satisfied with both. From drinks, to coffee, to dessert, to apps/entrees this place did not disappoint

Came for brunch. Beautiful interior with mixed mediums for design! Very warm & welcoming, caught myself talking with the barista for a bit, she was incredibly kind. Service was pretty prompt, it was a full restaurant and we were never left waiting too long for anything. Everything we ordered had layers of flavor, with the cinnamon roll being a show stopper, being one of the best in recent memory. The biscuits & gravy and the chicken & waffles (amazing waffles) are also very worthy of mention. Overall amazing experience, highly recommend for brunch

First visit today to celebrate our Mother’s birthday and we really enjoyed it. We ordered a Two piece Fried Chicken with Macaroni Salad and a Cucumber/Tomato/Bell pepper salad and dinner roll($19), a Burger with fries ($20) and a Caesar Salad with Grilled Chicken ($21). Everything was tasty. The Fried Chicken was moist and really nice, the Grilled Chicken on the Caesar Salad was perfectly seasoned and moist. The Burger was a bit messy with 2 smashed Pattie’s, cheese, sauce, onions and pickles and really tasty too. Our server was Freddy and he was wonderful…attentive and kind. He even brought my Mom a birthday cake pop with a candle. The dining room is comfortable, rustic yet elegant and very nice. This is a restaurant that I can recommend for sure and we would order everything we ordered this visit again. However, I saw the Fried Chicken sandwich as it was leaving the kitchen window and I’m pretty sure that is what I will order next visit. There is paid street parking across the street and I think there is a parking garage nearby.
