Absolutely great space!!! Fun environment with absolutely wonderful food!! I recommend the chicken sandwich!!! Everyone was absolutely sweet and respectful!! Will definitely dine again! read more

The service was very slow. We were on our way to the airport and I began to get very antsy. Water glasses weren't refilled unless asked when waitress finally came with the food. We had a variety of items-sandwich, burger, wrap and wings. All were well received. I had the wings which were different from most and delicious. Ambiance is typical semi dark bar. There weren't many tables filled which made me curious why it took so long. Would I go back? Yes just to see if it was an off day - the food was good. Service/timing??? read more

My job takes me to a lot of different places. I was lucky enough to get placed in Monroe, MI for two weeks. Brass Monkey has absolutely been the highlight. The staff here is very friendly, and the food does not disappoint! The ambiance is nice too, and fitting for crowds of all ages. There's a pretty wide variety of options, and everything I've had has been great. Pricing is good. The entire staff was great. Special shout out to Amber who remembered me after my first visit and always made me feel welcome, whether she was serving me or not. Hannah was also a great bartender with a helpful attitude and consistently made great cocktails. Katie was a great server with a good attitude and was very personable. There aren't many places I've experienced in my travels that I would go out of the way to return to; BUT, Brass Monkey is an exception. I can't wait to come back. read more

Food is real good, esp Funky Monkey pizza, which is my favorite. Service is great. Sometimes the kitchen seems on the slow side.

Very good stone oven pizza, and good atmosphere as well. I've been going there for years. Would recommend.

One of my favorite spots when I come to Michigan, Best buffalo chicken dip! Everyone is always friendly and I love the atmosphere. Also have good music. read more

I went for lunch yesterday, as I do every week, I love "wine wed"! Halaina was the bartender and server. There was only one table occupied and they were enjoying their lunch. I came in and sat at the bar. I waited for 7 minutes before she came out to wait on me. She brought me a glass of wine but no water or a napkin. I had to ask for them after she came back out front again. She was cordial but not very friendly. I had to ask for my second glass of wine in which she forgot to get me, so I waited until she came out again and reminded her. I'm not used to this kind of service here so I was very disappointed. Needless to say I did not order any lunch. She could learn a few things from Melissa....... read more

Had Brass Monkey for lunch with my friends while in Monroe for the day. 10/10 would recommend, everything was super tasty, although i would definitely get a soda... the water taste likes sharpies fr. read more

Stopped in here the other night after going to the beach. Food was great. Ordered a pizza and my daughter had the Monte Cristo sandwich. We also both ordered martinis. The service was great. We sat on the patio which was super nice. Would stop in again when in the area read more

Brass Monkey - Peach ring Martini - American Near Me - Monroe, Michigan

Horrible experience! Waited 40 minutes for the wrong pizzas. They were busy, I understood the wait. When I explained they were both wrong the "Manager" took both pizzas from the table (instead of leaving them or even apologizing) offered to charge me for the wrong order and make a new one. When I asked what she was going to do with the LONG delayed wrong order she said they would "put them in the break room for employees". She then told me she'd make them correctly and it would "only take 5 minutes we're busy" but for some reason it took 40 minutes the first time? Pizza is usually great but this was a sad joke. Not sure if I will ever go back read more

Best pizza of my life! We got the hot honey pie & I give it a 10/10! Same for the truffle chips appetizer. Bloody Mary's were delicious as well. I love the atmosphere in here, 80's/90's nostalgia vibes. The artwork on the wall is so cool. Service was excellent & I can't wait to be back! read more

Brass Monkey - Hot honey pizza - American Near Me - Monroe, Michigan

I can't get enough of Brass Monkey! They're coal fired pizza is amazing and the closest thing to NY style we have here in Monroe. The monkey fingers are the most delicate, tender chicken tenders you can possibly be served. Delicious! You can build your own salad, build your own American style burger, or even choose something off adjoining restaurant's menu- Quatro's! Save room for the Monkey Bites or the Monkey Bread (if it's not sold out!) It is the perfect finish to an amazing meal. Little puffs of baked bread sprinkled with cinnamon sugar and served with a whipped cream cheese frosting for dipping. It is heavenly! read more

Place was busy and server focused more on the larger party next to us. Didn't get food until 1.5 hour later after sitting down. We only asked for a few minutes after the first time a waitress usually asks. 1 hour later for food. The food was good though so I'll keep the review high. read more

The fresh baked pretzel with beer cheese & honey mustard is a must have. The pizza is good and they have creative toppings including a dill pickle pizza. Fun atmosphere. My grandson loves to eat here. Fun atmosphere full of 80's memorabilia. read more

Came for the name, was hungry going in, hungry going out. Nice eclectic space but menu selection and meat preperation need to be improved before I'll go back. read more

Came here with a group and our server was phenomenal. She kept up with every person, their order, and any additional request! I don't recommend the patio. A bird pooped on my arm. It's supposed to be good luck but like eeewww!! Overall 5/5. The service, the food, and the environment was great. read more

1/1 Stars - Atmosphere - Really fun, hip interior. Good decor and The Breakfast Club was playing during our visit. Good music from the 80s and 90s. Bathrooms are shared with the restaurant next door. 1/1 Stars - Service - Very prompt and attentive wait staff. 2/2 Stars - Food - Very good New Haven style pizza, thin, light sauce and quickly cooked. Small salad served 1 to 2, large salad served 3 to 4, didn't try the burgers. Pretzel was tasty as an appetizer. Among the best pizza in Monroe. 1/1 Stars - Price to Quality Ratio - Good food for ~$11 per person. Overall 5/5 Stars. Will be back again. The only caveat, the restaurant is not baby friendly right now. The stall in the women's restroom with the changing table is out of order and locked, and there is no baby changing station in the men's room. read more

Cute fun decor. Really good food like the large dinner menu. Alfredo pasta is amazing! Chicken and pizzas are my next favorite things.

Wow!!! I could stop here, but I'll be more helpful. Low key super positive place. Very engaging staff from the start and they're working together to cover service! Ambiance is super positive. Bar couple forced me to try the bruschetta... I understand why. It's a whole airy pizza with the freshest bruschetta toppings. They shared and there was enough for 6 at least. Good people here. Calamari were little, but expertly flash fried PLUS BRUSCHETTA TOPPINGS AND CAPERS!!! Unctuous. Signature burger was ayight. Upscale Big Mac. Tasty. Maybe season the meat or season differently?? Superb fries!!! The Michigan Salad represented the State of Michigan MUCH BETTER than that football team they have there.. (Oh shut up.... My son went to O-State..) The super fresh salmon just was over cooked ( for me) despite being re-ordered medium rare, according to the awesome waitress. (Seems like a salamander too long issue, but what do I know..) Let's talk drinks. Very nice pours. I can't finish my thought yet because I don't have my bill yet) I'm Not cheap, but must have drink value unless I'm at a place where you're stupid if you complain about drink prices and you knew where you were going...) Very clean place!!! Everyone that came here was fun and took viciously fun ribbings from my Tito laced "wish-I-was-a-comic" comedy. What a fun place. I guess I'll try the grinders and Pizza they're supposed to be known for.. I'll be back. Several times... read more

Very cool atmosphere and good (not great) pizza. Extensive menu with the Quattro options available to order. Will not go back however as they tack on a 3% additional fee for using a credit card!!!!! read more

Listen, there's normally not a pizza I don't fancy, HOWEVER, the Funky Monkey was so bad! Maybe I just don't like truffle like I thought I did, but it was definitely not something I would ever recommend. It's a floppy thin crust pizza too which I find odd as floppy and thin crust don't typically go hand in hand. Our Martinis were served over ice and in mason jars, which tripped us out a bit. The goat cheese balls were super good but cold, but honestly definitely tasty. The sign on the Brass Monkey logo / door says "pizza, pretzels, and shenanigans" but there was only one pretzel option on the menu (Bavarian pretzel appetizer) Was a very meh experience for us. Can't say too many great things...service and atmosphere were good. read more

Best pizza in Monroe if not se Michigan. The chicken wings are smoked to perfection and the smash burgers are to die for recommending for anyone in town. read more

If you just want a pretzel or a lil pizza, this place is for you. Not much for menu items. If you just want a little something to eat. If you want dinner, try somewhere else. read more

UPDATE: Very disappointed with the "new" pizza Brass Monkey is putting out. As you can see from my previous review it use to be mouthwatering andI craved it. Since the last review new owners took over and we were excited to try them again as they seemed to have big ideas! However, the pizza was almost flavorless, the dough was so plain and there was way too much crust. We would be willing to try again, however we won't have high hopes. It's so disappointing to see this business take a turn, but we are always in support of small business succeeding! ***************************************************** I am SO happy Southern Yankee was closed. Not that it's bad or anything but if it wasn't closed unexpectedly I wouldn't have ate at this GEM! We were seated and greater immediately, the waitress was awesome! We never ran out of drinks and she made some recommendations on the menu that we followed! The Rooster Pizza was AMAZING, thin crust, packed full of flavor, and served in great time. We also got a burger, unfortunately I don't remember what it was called but WOW. Honestly the best burger I've had in Monroe. It came with two patties, cheese, a Brass Monkey sauce, lettuce and pickles, so whatever the name of it was, GET THIS WHEN YOU EAT HERE. As for drinks we simply stuck with lemonade and cherry lemonade. Total of the bill: $26.24. SO WORTH IT, YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED. read more

Courtney is the best waitress in Monroe, MI. She knows her ranch and zip souse. The food is enough to make a Kansan happy!

Great service. Food is excellent. We love the Nashville hot chicken sandwich! Also the blue mother trucker is my favorite drink!

Food was tasty! Kayla was great! Music did not match the 80's decor, but was still good.

Went in for lunch. Cool decor, 80s theme. We had a hot pretzel with dipping sauces for an appetizer. It was quite good. My wife and I split a bacon burger and loaded fries. The burger was great and the fries were ok, just a bit much for me. Very cheesy with steak bits. The menu is quite limited. Burgers and pizza. We didn't have the pizza but heard it's not American style pizza. More of a thin crust Sicilian type. The restaurant is attached to another restaurant next door. Southern Yankee. They share a kitchen and other facilities. Used to be Nick n Ninos and Dolce Vita. We'll probably be back. Want to try the other place too. read more

Absolutely outstanding food and service! We loved the pizza and mozzarella bread! The pizza sauce is awesome!

Had a wonderful dinner on the patio with friends . There were 14 in our group and we all arrived at staggered intervals and ordered in the same manner. We requested they bring as ready as some of us eat slow ( mainly because I like to have conversations) I ordered a large salad with chicken thinking it wouldn't really be that large , I sure was wrong . The salad came in a large family size serving bowl . Now I love my salads and even I was beat by the salads size. The freshness and taste of everything in the salad as well as the dressing was terrific . I only finished about a third of it and took the rest home . Because I didn't put the dressing all over the salad ( I knew I wasn't going to finish even half of it ) I was able to have some for the next day at lunch and as a side again for dinner. The salad was still all fresh and crispy. It was a great dinner experience and the staff were on top of replacing drinks and checking to see if anyone needed anything . I would recommend Brass Monkey based on my personal experience it was great food and service . read more

We always enjoy their pizza and also they have very good salads. It's a great family owned restaurant and we like to go there often

I went with a group of people. The place was packed. I ordered a burger & fries. You get a TON of fries!! It was one of the best burgerss that I ever had. Tried a piece of pizza && it was okk. It was clean & staff was friendly. Seemed like our food took a long time to get. Their "Monkey Rolls" are very yummy! I will go back. read more

Cool atmosphere, great drinks and good food. A unique vibe for the Monroe scene. The menu is specialized but everything is fresh and delicious. read more

Stopped in for lunch with my mother and brother. The menu has Pizza, 3 pretzels, 1 burger, and build your own salad. Pretty limited options. They had a pizza bar, with dried out pizza that must have been sitting there since the morning. What all 3 of us had was edible, just not satisfying in any way. We will not be visiting the Brass Monkey again. Pricey for what you get. The service was great, but the meal wasn't fit for a dog. read more

We ordered the lasagna special for takeout tonight and it was to DIE for. The soup and bread that came with was also amazing. Good portions, it was a family style meal for 4 and we will get a second meal out of it as well (2 adults and a toddler) well worth it! Thank you! read more

Wanted to give it a try, stopped in on a Sunday, almost empty inside. Ordered a large two topping pizza, just two of us eating. Pizza came out on a rectangular pan so the round pizza was hanging off to one side. Hint, if you're going for a different look at least make sure the food fits on the serving dish. So the pizza comes and gets placed where neither of us could reach it, the waitress then leaves to finally get us plates and napkins since we didn't have any, and yep, she placed them out of reach again, not even kidding. Now to the pizza, a large pizza and it was cut twice so there were only 4 pieces. What if there were three people eating? The pizza was just ok, nothing special, the bacon was kinda rubbery. And the price, yeah $16 for that size pizza, four slices, with so so toppings, I can see why they are going out of business again. I will say the best part was the crust, really good. read more
