The food was amazing!! Seriously hit the spot. Biscuits and gravy are elite, and honestly a great appetizer to start your meal. Everything came out hot, fresh, and cooked right. Shoutout to Stephanie, our waiter… she was awesome and really met every need we had, even down to opening the shades so we could get that perfect brunch lighting 😂 The fried chicken was done to perfection crispy, juicy, seasoned just right. My belly is happy, my tastebuds are full, and my stomach left satisfied. I’m coming back for that burger!!
The Monroe truly surprised me in the best way. I spend a lot of time in the area, and this is hands-down my favorite brunch so far. Every dish was balanced...nothing felt over-sauced or overworked. From sweet to savory, everything tasted intentional and well-executed. And the mocktails absolutely live up to their name and price point. They were thoughtfully crafted, refreshing, and definitely not just juice over ice. Overall, such a great experience from start to finish. P.s. The breakfast sandwich is not small but it is so so good.
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.
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
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.
