“Great service! Great food! Classy! The Carroll High Class of 1984 had an amazing time celebrating our 40th Reunion here. We even took pictures with Mayor Friday who stopped by for lunch. We will return next year.”

“We have a wonderful experience!!!! We’ve been wanting to try this place since they opened up! Finally made the 4hr drive and everything was excellent!!! Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. Drinks were amazing! Food was incredible!!! It’s was all very delicious!!! I highly recommend this place to everyone!”

“August was amazing!! Great service”

“My husband and I rarely get a date night and tonight, we decided to go to outback this time. Let me say that we had the best experience. Our little waitress, Mattie, was the quickest and the sweetest waitress that we've had in a very long time from any restaurant in town. Our food was cooked to perfection. Our steak was juicy, cooked just right and my husband's coconut shrimp were huge and so good. If I was promised this service and could get Mattie every time, we'd go more often.”

“Our party of 12 ended up at Warehouse for dinner to celebrate a graduating family member after another restaurant mishandled our reservation. We were seated right away! The service, drinks, and food were all great. Honestly, I made a mistake ordering an entree before the appetizer tray came out. The appetizers were filling and delicious on their own. We all left full and happy!”

“This place has no business being this good. The beers... I hate to admit it but every city I go to I try to find the best IPA the area offers. They may not want to call their beers IPAs for fear of scaring people off but they are phenomenal. The service is impeccable (EXTREMELY friendly people) and the atmosphere is nice (stereotypical brewery with a dash of local WWII history) despite it's location in the concrete jungle area of Monroe. The pizza is great. Get a side of ranch. Take a four pack to go. You can't ask for anything nicer. And it's in Monroe! Yes, right here! It's world class.”

“Great service in an awesome setting. The shrimp/roux is amazing!”

“Hannah was awesome! she was so attentive, helpful and all around amazing! Best server EVER!”

The manager was so sweet and visited our table since we were from TX and it was our first time there. We got the seafood potato as well and it was AMAZING. The food came out hot and fresh and EVERYONE was so nice 🔥 🔥 We were in LA for a softball tourney but I would come back to Monroe just to eat here. 11/10”

“best place hands down! we love the people and food! we are regulars at this point!”

Popular buffet items are replenished frequently. They are on top of their game when keeping your large drink glasses full.”

“My mother, daughter, grandson and myself ate here for the first time Saturday for lunch. Our server, I believe his name is Bailey?, dark wavy hair, was very attentive and friendly and made excellent menu & off-menu suggestions. Our food was wonderful.

“I want to give a shoutout to Nothing Bundt Cake in Monroe. I went to pick up my cake and it wasn’t ready yet. They told me that I could wait in my car and they’d just bring it out. We were in no hurry as the cake wasn’t needed today. 15 minutes later a sweet employee came out with my cake and a box of mini Bundt cakes free of charge as an apology. She told me that my cake bow fell on the floor and she refused to put it on my cake and remade it. Excellent customer service!”

“This location is awesome compared to the others! The lady that works at night (I didn’t get her name) but she’s always as sweet as can be and works hard!

“Great people with family values!”

“Had a wonderful experience here, with my 5 year old. Everything we ordered was delicious!”

“We ate lunch here on a Friday. I got a muffuletta and 2 others got the buffet. I really liked the muffuletta and my companions really liked the deserts on the buffet. We paid $33 for our food including tax so it was a reasonable price for lunch. One con, I don’t really like the air hockey table as it was very loud the one time someone played it. Recommended for the food, but the air hockey table was distracting.”

“The positive points are the Great service—we always ask for Carolina—and the quick service of margaritas, chips, and salsa. Once selected from an extensive menu, the food is served with a delicious presentation. If there is a shortcoming, it's the ambiance.....it could use a makeover that allows more privacy for family gatherings. And let's dim the lights.”

“The best ice cream I’ve had by far! The last 2 times I’ve been have been horrible experiences. One time there was a frozen moth in my ice cream cup, the second time I ordered a small twister and received a small cup with two bites of ice cream in it. The staff is rude. I’ve never had a bad experience until this summer. Will definitely be visiting the West Monroe location from now on.”

“The food is fabulous and I love the sauce! I highly recommend.”

“My husband and I had a late lunch here today. The service from MaraBel (sp?) was top notch and the food was incredible. We ordered the Athena plate for two to share. It came with beef chicken and lamb- grape leaves and spinach pie (spanakopita?) a side of rice with hummus. We started with the baba ganoush and salad. Everything was fresh and delicious. Definitely be back. Thank you to the young lady who served us. She was lovely.”

“The owners are really welcoming and they have awesome bartenders!”

There's something special about respectful children. So rare these days and makes me want to give my whole wallet to support them!????”

“Great service, good food, totally satisfied!!!!!!!”

“Good place to eat at!! Love their wings and burgers”

“I absolutey love the dbl roast beef. Great service! Very clean. I wish we had an Arby's in West Monroe, till then, I'll keep crossing the river!”

“My mother lives near here, so we were looking for a close by place to take her. My expectations were low, but boy was I wrong. The brisket po boy was amazing and the gravy was phenomenal! My kids loved the rib sandwiches and twice baked potato salad. We will be back every time we're in town.
Edit: removed a star when I saw I was charged for tap water.”

“REALLY REALLY good cheeseburgers, fried pork chops red beans and rice, sausage sandwich, French fries, candied yams.. and that's JUST the stuff I have had personally! Tried it, and now I am hooked! Small order and pickup place. Food is Great!”

“It was very nice. The ice cream is delicious, and they had a lot of options. I also liked how they had cups of ice cream to go in a freezer. The worker who was there was super nice, her name was Ariyana. Just wish they had cookie dough toppings.”

“Very laid back and mature atmosphere.🥂 I must visit again soon🫶🏾💃🏾🙌🏾”

“Friendly staff & amazing teas!”

“I prefer this place to Subway, usually fast service, good fries and a decent variety of above average sandwiches. If your at the food court and looking for something quick, light, and tasty give it a try. Also best regular lemonade IMOP.”

“Great food, hardworking staff, good price. I love the salad bar.

I may have names misspelled, but Roslyn is always pleasant to talk with with you enter, Gip is a master at the grill (he always customizes my Beyond Burger just the way I like), Tyrone knows his cajun cooking (his etouffee, creole, and jumbalaya are to die for), and Henry always gives me a fist bump in between refilling ice, keeping the tables and counters clean, and any of a dozen other jobs he does. There are others that are also really nice - I just am bad with names.”

“We arrived late almost closing time. That didn't stop the employees from being friendly and patient. Even though my home is a few minutes away from this Subway. It was my first time stopping by there. I usually travel across town to the other subways. Being that this Subway sets back from the street. Between two other buildings which are closed while Subway stays open much later. The surrounding area isn't bright enough in my opinion. When I am alone I feel uncomfortable going there for safety reasons.”

“The food was good. This location is one of the BEST CFA locations in Georgia ( I have traveled all over this state) . However, I could tell that part of my waffle fries were freshly cooked and some were cooked earlier. They were busy, but attentive. However, the usual smiling faces were more focused on the "hustle" rather than on creating a welcoming atmosphere. The usual positive "buzz" was missing, but I am sure that it will be there on my next visit. ??”

“We went through the drive thru so we could eat on the way home, but we were not given utensils and there was cole slaw and green beans involved. The food was great though‼️”

“I had Good Customer Service 👍🏽”

“we used to drive to shreveport to go to checkers i love the strawberry cheesecake sundaes!”

“The food was good and I would say above average. The service was really good as well. For a 12 o’clock lunch the music was way too loud, save that for Friday and Saturday night!”

“Azteca Grill, on Tuesday especially, IS the place to go! Their tacos are Phenomenal! My bad, I mean, ? PHEBOMBENAL ? and my server tonight, Jasmine, was hands down 10/10 5 Star BEST in Monroe that I have found yet. Because for me it's all about the smell of the shop, Amazing! To the smile behind the counter(table ?) ?. She was prompt, friendly, and totally understanding when I let her know upfront about the shortage on her tip to be. I'm broke! ? and she was still cool with it and me. Thank God because we all know that can get your food messed with in the kitchen from time to time. Not here though ???? It was all good! If you're in the mood for tacos on Tuesday do not hesitate to stop by here and get your fill @ less than $10 per person. In the pic below you'll see what $7 will get you.

Laissez les bons tempes roule baby!”

“We walked in Johnny's for lunch the atmosphere was very nice and peaceful, food was warm and fresh, staff was very friendly they were was not annoyed at all, the young man that picks up dirty dishes from tables was very
nice, always had a smile on his face and very quick to help. He is an inspiration .”

“Stopped by in the middle of a lunch rush because I've been traveling back and forth from the hospital to care for my terminally ill father to my house to care for my terminally ill child. Life has trued to beat me down lately, but Cane's in Monroe was a happy spot today. To see everyone smiling, hustling food out, being kind and working hard. It blessed me and I will always stop here whenever I can!”

“We had a great night at Catfish Cabin - we hadn't had service like that in I really can't remember. We didn't feel rushed or just another table. Our server Tonya was amazing. She was so attentive, anticipating our needs before I was able to ask. Originally from down south about 45 min south of NOLA, I've been eatin' seafood all my life, and lemme tell ya, this place knows what they're doin'. With so many great menu options I couldn't decide. So Tonya recommended the stuffed crab. It was the best I'd had in a while. I left feeling as stuffed as that crab! I was so impressed i called back later that evening to talk to Tonya about possibly hosting a luncheon. She was so helpful, offering all sorts of options. She was very informative and told me while they do host parties and reservations, they also do bulk order requests and off-site catering. Tonya is definitely a keeper, a definite asset to Catfish Cabin. I will definitely request her the next time we are there.”

“The bartender Kellie is awesome and hot! Fun place to shoot pool play the bean bag cornhole game, darts and drunk JengaTheir Miami Vice is the bomb and if you want to go green their Margaritas off the chain”

“Great place to grab a hot, fresh, and tasty pizza. I frequently use this location for pizza night at my house.The wings and bread sticks were delicious 😋 I was also impressed with the cashier's customer service. She was very polite and super sweet which is rare in restaurants these days.”

“One of girls had to get a shot for poison ivy, so of course it was time to make her feel better with Starbucks! The baristas are fabulous at this location, take special requests and make the best Frappuccinos ? We ordered ahead on the app in the parkin lot, went inside and had our order within 2 minutes. They also have a very good selection of Starbucks tumblers and cups for a small store. Prices in this area are reasonable (three fraps under $20). Decent seating is available and will fit a family of four.

Parking: Store is located in the parking lot of other stores in a busy area, with about 10 spots

Wheelchair accessibility: There is wheelchair access to the front door, but it will be tight inside with a ride on electric scooter (but doable)”

“the new building is beautiful! the two drive thru Lanes is a plus!! I've honestly missed it. I have a grandson that lives in Texas and has been asking for pics on its update. I went this past Saturday and sent him the final view along with sign of its upcoming reopening date. he was in awe!! thanks for the timely manner of the food and the short wait. Welcome Back Wendy's”

“I would like to thank the crew and management at Firehouse subs today for their excellent service and courteous demeanor throughout my visit today. My order was prepared quickly and was perfectly made. I highly recommend this location. Outstanding!”

“Old school dive bar with pool tables, jukebox and pinball. Staff is friendly and drinks are fairly priced. Building is a little run down and the bathrooms are in need of an update. Great place to meet up with friends and relax.”

“Love Chick-fil-A! I do want to say with sadness that this store let me down. I said thank you to 3 different people and NOBODY said my pleasure. Most Chick-fil-A have this down as many times as you say thank you they will say my pleasure.”

“The best street tacos for real! I came in feeling poor and left feeling rich and blessed🙏🔥 Does my spirit right”
