Restaurants in Monroe

“Food has been amazing since the 90sMy fiancee Eva and I (Anthony) thanks for making our last minute meatball pizza last Wednesday (4-24-24) when we pulled up from Pennsylvania. We love the food my grandma brought me here as a child and since moving three years ago we order take out or dine in on every visit back home”

“Love this place amazing sandwiches and chips”

“Great Food, Great Drinks, and Great Service”

“Had a party of ten tonight for my brothers birthday. Many of us in the area have not been here before and it was an absolutely awesome time. Food, atmosphere and service was wonderful. Zach was with our table and he was so accommodating, with top customer service communication. Couldn’t recommend it higher. A must if and when in the area. We will be back. Thanks Zach and chef ! * footnote. The prime rib special was a 10/10. Haven’t had anything like it in years.”

“Sal's Family Pizza is one of the best (if not the best) pizza locations in Connecticut. Authentic Italian slices with a crisp crust and tangy marinara. I have had the pleasure of ordering several dishes including soups, salads and pies and I have never had a bad meal. The ingredients are always fresh and tastey. Service is always friendly and helpful. Do not skip this place the next time you are in town!”

“I dined here with a group of six a couple of weeks ago and everything we ordered was cooked perfectly and very flavorful. The portions were very generous, our waiter was attentive, kind and pleasant. The music, atmosphere and ambiance were lovely and the food and desserts were incredible. I ordered food to go last night and met the owner, he was such a wonderful man and very appreciative of his customers. Once again everything was perfect and delicious. I can’t wait to go back soon. I highly recommend that you check out Flames soon.”

“Called in for a burger, arrived Burger was ready. Ate and wow just as good as I can remember, I love that classic American Cheese taste from the extra cheese they put in. 9/10 local burger joint! Top notch people working there”

“I can't get enough of this place.The food is fantastic and the staff is super friendly.”

“I ordered Lamb Vindaloo for takeout and they prepared it promptly for me. I love spicy food and this was excellent! The lamb was tender and the curry was hot enough to get my sinuses running! Great flavors!!!”

“Beside the great food and atmosphere, yours truly host karaoke there every friday night! Only karaoke in Monroe, CT!!!”

“Tried this place for the first time last night. All of the food was delicious. The staff is very friendly. Prices are reasonable.”

“I eat a lot of authentic Mexican food. This place is definitely very good. Haven’t had anything from here I didn’t enjoy. I order at least 3 times a week since I live up the road. My favorite being the Enchilada Cemita. I recommend El Gallo Dorado to everyone.”

“I doubt seriously if you'll find a better selection of home made middle Eastern foods anywhere - This place even outdoes NYC. Fresh, tasty, generous servings, reasonable prices. Take out or order and eat in the large dining area exquisitely decorated. This is a hidden gem in Monroe. Say hello to Lola - the owner and proud chef. By the way, it's worth a visit just to see the Egyptian Decor and statuary.”

“We do work all over and try many different places for lunch Home Plate is the best place for a sandwich hands down!!”

“this is the only fish market I go to! Gino is amazing along with his staff, and the food is like no other! thank you Gina and staff for all you do your friend on Wheeler road. Renee”

“Recently found this place and love it!! Great coffee and Portuguese pastries .. yum 😋 😍👍”

“There’s nothing better than walking into a cafe and smelling fresh cookies cooking and fresh muffins anytime of the day.Otherwise this is a great cafe.”

“Stopped in for a tasty snack. The ice cream was refreshing for an unusually warm October day! The owner explained that more hours (mornings) and offerings (donuts, bagels) were on their way. Great stop!”

“AMAZING! A.S is amazing. Their staff is so patient and helpful. The quality of the food and cleanliness of the location is near perfect. We usually travel to Norwalk, but thankful they opened a location near Shelton/Monroe. We went before Christmas Eve and it made our holiday feel “normal”.”

“Had an amazing experience at MacDaddy’s again today. Went there for the first time nearly 10 years ago and they’ve only gotten better, which is hard considering how great my first experience was. Despite being a fast casual restaurant, the service was top tier and the food felt like I was right at home.”

“Just the best food ever. Prices are crazy low and portions are crazy”

“The line makes no sense, you start at the pick up window and work your way to the order here sign. Excellent fries the hotdogs are okay but smaller portions

Kid-friendliness: Very kind

Wheelchair accessibility: Ground level”

“This restaurant was amazing, great music, great atmosphere and great service. Martin was our waiter and he was amazing! I had a spicy margarita which was good. Food was on point definitely coming back! ❤️”

“Food was delicious! Drinks were very expensive. C&C sour was $14.95..small glass with lots of ice!!”

“I visited and was really disappointed because Vazzy's has always been a family favorite for years. My aunt had the mussels, which she said the flavor really wasn't there. I had the meatballs appetizer and a salad. The meatballs were ok, but not what I was expecting. My Mom had the chicken parmasean and said it was good. Some of the staff really weren't that friendly. Just a really disappointing visit.”

“Nice place for family/friends to hang out.”

“Had a couple of Burgers on our way to Toronto, best Burgers we've had so far all over the state. Excellent food and Service, the nicest people here! Clear recomandation!

“Good food, good service, and timely

It’s not set up for a dine-in experience, although there is a counter.

It’s a great choice for a pizza night in or to order for a party.

Prices could be a little lower these days, but the food is always enjoyable.

Dietary restrictions: We have deadly food allergies. They’ve always been attentive. In several years of working with them, there’s never been an issue.

Parking: We can usually park directly in front of the store.

Kid-friendliness: They’re always nice to my son.”

“Got pad Thai and chicken dumplings and everything was soooo delicious. The dumplings weren’t even greasy like so many other places are. Satisfying food that doesn’t leave you feeling yucky afterwards.”

“West of town locale on state route 25 (main street), the main north south route through the upper Stepney section of town. Inside is spacious and good to sit down and eat as a lot of Chinese restaurants are not, restroom also available. This is a neighborhood staple for Chinese food. They also deliver if you want it delivered.”

“Great service and friendly people all the time”

“This is the spot to go to if you have a big company and need orders done... Not only are they fast and efficient but they also put a lot of love in there food and customer service. Good People. Good vibes.”

“Food was great and fresh! Very young staff and truly respect the responsibility they hold. Thank you guys for making my day with great food and service. God bless!”

“Wow, this is the best Chinese food I have found in the area. Food was hot and fresh and they use quality ingredients. The shrimp stir fried with vegetables in kung pao sauce were really fresh and perfectly cooked and the vegetables were still crispy. The crunchy water chestnuts were a nice touch. They don't use heavy gloopy sauces. The hot and sour soup was also a pleasant surprise. It was perfectly balanced with vinegar and some heat from chilis and had lots of fresh mushrooms and shredded bamboo shoots. Most of their business seems to be take-out. Don't be dissuaded by the appearances from the outside. We tried four different dishes and they were all hits. I will definitely be back!”

“Great staff and service. Great food.”

“Stop by with my family we ordered pizzas and pasta dishes. Everyone was amazing. I would definitely go back.”

“nice selection of soft and hand packed ice cream. very tasty 😋. Highly recommended”

“Great tasting food and always excellent friendly service.”

Parking: Parking is a bit jammed due to way back opening recently.”

“wow! so lucky we got to eat here! the server was amazing. she's clearly amazing at her job and the chef obviously cares for his craft. wow”
