Mal's (short for Mallory) Krazy Krab is a family run business in a less than ideal location. It is…read moreoff the main road in what seems like a business park, not somewhere you would expect to find a restaurant. I say less than ideal because you can't see the storefront from the main road, so they don't really have any exposure to nearby vehicular traffic and the signage is easy to miss. [ THE EXPERIENCE ] Mal's offers both fried & boiled seafood items and on our first visit we tried both. The FRIED CATFISH & SHRIMP PLATTER #1 includes two perfectly golden flaky fillets, six shrimp, fries, hush puppies and coleslaw. Excellent flavor in the breading of the catfish & shrimp, however, the coleslaw and hush puppies were just average, and the fries can be hit or miss. Since that first visit, I have come back three more times! Each time we were greeted by Miss Maurice, a kind, extremely hospitable and down to earth server that will make you feel like a member of the family. Service is unexpectedly fast considering she basically ran the entire dining room alone on three of our four visits. Here are all the items we've tried: [ THE FOOD ] * MAL'S KRAZY BOILED PLATTER #2 2 clusters of snow crab legs, 8 shrimp, sausage, potatoes, corn and boiled eggs. The seasoning of the boil was very good, but a tad salty. It seemed to me salt was added after the dish was plated and it honestly didn't need it. Overall, it was still very tasty, just something I thought I should note. (4 stars) * FRIED MUSHROOM APPETIZER Very good and plentiful. The house-made remoulade sauce made them even better. (4 stars) * FRIED CATFISH & SHRIMP PLATTER #1 By the third visit Catfish & Shrimp had become my staple meal. It is so me of the best fried fish and shrimp I've had anywhere. It is very apparent Mal changes her cooking oil often. The fried foods don't have a heavy greasy taste and have been perfectly golden every visit. (5 stars) * FRIED CLAM STRIPS So good! Perfectly breaded, perfectly seasoned, perfectly fried. (4.5 stars) * FRIED LOBSTER TAIL ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! A must try! (5+ stars) DISLIKES: The only items I'm not a huge fan of are the corn on the cob, cole slaw and the french fries. PRO TIP: Come for lunch! The specials are very reasonably priced!!! [ FINAL THOUGHTS ] The entire staff welcomes everyone with a strong sense of "glad you are here". They were eager to correct any errors and on each & every visit insisted we come back real soon! Surely they will be in business for many years to come with their combination of great food and welcoming service! Mal's restaurant has quickly and easily become my FAVORITE place to eat in Monroe. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED if you are in the area or any nearby suburban city!

The music can sometimes be a little loud, but I think this restaurant is great for a large crowd. I would give this place five stars, but I find that inconsistency is really apparent, and I order the same thing every time. I always get my seafood boil extra hot, and on some days, the "extra hot" feels lukewarm, and on other days, "extra hot" will burn a hole down my throat (which I like!). I will still come back though.

This venue hosted a couple of the events of "Nou La Atlanta" last weekend such as "Frost", "Crowd…read moreControl", and "Trap Love". The venue was spacious enough to accommodate a decent amount of people for these events (without having everyone on top of each other). There's a fully stacked bar with a majority of the top shelf alcohol options; simply missing Casamigos. There's an ATM available which my cousins and I frequently used. At the end of the night, there was a handful of food options to choose from prior to the kitchen closing. The oxtail meal (rice and beans with cabbage) and jerk soup were delicious. You're welcome to pay your tab via Cash app. Although I will never return here, I appreciate the experience and the fact that this venue was in close proximity from our AirBnB.

Meehhhh This is a…read moreconvenient option if you're in the area. But I definitely would not drive to this part of town just to eat here nor if I was in a rush. The restaurant is small but they make great use of the dining space. We only ordered a chicken biscuit to-go and it took 45 minutes for us to get it. After the first 30 minutes they gave us the wrong order by accident and then we waited another 15 minutes for them to fix it. There was no effort to reconcile and compensate us for the error and wait. Typically, restaurants handle these matters by offering a comped item for the trouble or even reimburse the tab. They never attempted to. After the long anticipated wait, it was just ok. The eggs were scrambled well but the sliver of chicken on the biscuit was thin like a fed-up mother's patience. The chicken Pattie lacked more meat and flavor. It would be better drenched in hot sauce. But they do provide a generous side of maple butter and jam on the side to make up for what the chicken biscuit obviously lacks. They earned the 3.6 rating above. Let it accurately guide you.

When we were finally seated, they split us between two separate tables and told us it was policy that they couldn't push the tables together. We were definitely a little disappointed, but we didn't let it ruin the night. I will say our servers were very nice and friendly throughout the experience. The biggest issue was the wait for the food. Half of our group got their meals, and then it took forever for the other table to finally get theirs, which made things awkward. As for the food, it was pretty mediocre overall. I had the fried shrimp and chicken, which was decent, but honestly I enjoyed the chicken more than the shrimp. One of my friends ordered the Cajun pasta and it lacked A LOT of flavor, definitely needed some salt and seasoning. The place was pretty and clean. I did like their outdoor courtyard to just wait and hang out. It wasn't a terrible experience by any means, but it also wasn't impressive enough for me to really want to come back.
