Sorry, this used to be a family go too but now we never go. Last time was bad. Slow service, not great food and not great prices. Bummer! read more

What amazing service at this place You looking for fun? Great food? Good service? Shelby the server had taken my order of hot chocolate......when it arrived she had squirted whip cream on top for me. I was amazed so I had to ask.....I didn't know there was more than one use of whipped cream??? Shelby you are number one. Thanks for good laughter and fun. read more

This is the second time we have stopped here on our way to Bellingham and have had great food and service both times. Food is hot and fresh! I've had their chicken ranch wrap and French toast. Both very yummy. Today, Rita, was our waitress and she was phenomenal. We ordered a sandwich to go and she made sure our leftovers had all the extras like when it was served to us. Give them a try! read more

I had been to other Buzz Inn locations before but this was the first time to this location having a steak, loaded baked potato and salad. All good. Seemed like a lot of locals who knew each other and the staff. Only negative was there were some flies flying around the bar counter. I tried to keep them from landing on the food. read more

Buzz Inn Steakhouse - Steak, baked potato, and salad - Steakhouses Near Me - Monroe, Washington

If I could give 0 star, I'd definitely do so. I came to this place for a lunch break. I browsed the internet for top rated places around Monroe and this place came up. My expectations were high because it has 4.1 stars. I walked into this place and it was gorgeous. Waitress was very nice and seated me immediately. However, everything turned downhill after the food was brought out. I literally got attacked by flies. They were on my hands and in my hair, one even got close enough to my cheeks and ears. It was a disturbing moment. I'm pretty sure the waitress noticed it and didn't even offer to seat me somewhere else or apologize for the situation. Just one question "how's everything going?" In addition, there were only 6 customers at that time event. I came here for lunch and it turned to be a war with the flies. I can't imagine how the kitchen would turn out to be. I used to manage a restaurant and I know a lot of preventatives to avoid this happening, so it's not something uncommon. This just shows that the manager of this place is too lazy to put in the effort and the customers have to pay the price. Overall, low efforts from the team. Frozen patties for burgers, lack of cleanliness, and lack of proactive service. read more

Love this place! Great food at good prices, the wait staff is awesome! Not "the keg" but great food at good prices for a I don't feel like cooking mid week meal. read more

I don't know why this place has 2.8 stars. Been here so many times and I don't even live in the Monroe area. Every time I come through Monroe we make it a point to stop here. Food is delicious, every single time. Drinks? Wonderful. Service? Exceptional. Can't wait till next weekend, will bring the kids. read more

Enjoyed a fine steak and eggs breakfast while getting a tire repaired at the nearby Les Schwab.

Always pleased with our meal! So of our favorites are the Cesar wrap, the works, eggs Benny, the tsunami and the Denver omlet! Weekends can be pretty busy especially for breakfast- be prepared to wait a few minutes. read more

Their greed cost them all my future business because I won't be coming back here again. Dropped in yesterday for a quick bite on my way home from work and ordered the super nachos with grilled chicken. When my bill came they tacked on a $6.99 charge for the chicken. I'm sorry, but seven bucks for a few chunks of chicken on top of the$15.99 they want to charge for a just a pile of tortilla chips, some melted cheese and a few olive slices is unacceptable. If I was interested in spending $23, I would've gone down the street and had real Mexican food. read more

I tried the location in Everett a couple of years ago and it was trash. I tried the monroe location last weekend and it wasn't trash but it was not great. We waited for about 30 minutes while people that entered after us, were seated before us. Once seated, we got menus that were sticky and had not been cleaned. We ordered unsweetened tea which was not good at all. It tasted like instant tea instead of brewed, which was very bitter. Our food arrived and the waitress forgot to enter the entire order so one person had to wait an additional 10 or so minutes to get his food. I understand that mistakes happen. We weren't upset at all. The food was just okay. There was nothing great about it. There was also nothing great about our experience either. There are so many other exceptional breakfast joints out there. I recommend going elsewhere and not spending your money at Buzz Inn read more

A childhood impression shattered. Odd service that vacillated from friendly to mean to non attentive. The next table went looking for the server 2x. Nothing 'special' that we asked for like no onions was accommodated like the person never took the notes. Asking to stagger the meal with apps first dud not work either. On top of that the food was just lousy. Not good greasy bar level ...just salty and lousy. Did not want anything but the bill at the end. read more

I was a little apprehensive due to previous reviews, but we had an enjoyable meal today. Love the all-day breakfast. I had the country Benedict w/ biscuits, sausage, eggs and gravy. Filling and tasty. Hubbs had the Senior chopped steak break fast and our cousin had the Senior country-fried steak. Everything was cooked perfectly and filling! Excellent, speedy service from Rita. And their special Bloody Mary's were a nice touch! read more

The bartender was awful. She got one drink and brought our food and never came back. She was outside smoking and chatting with her coworkers for longer than ten minutes. We wanted our check and she took forever to come in to help us. read more

Removing a star. Service is horrible now. You order at a counter then go find a table. No table service except in the lounge. And it's COLD in here on winter days. Speaks volumes that they have a beautiful gas fireplace in the dining room, but they told me it hasn't worked for over two years when I asked if it could be turned on. Hmm. What other delayed maintenance items are lurking? Going downhill fast. And it doesn't have much room to roll downhill as it is. read more

I went today and had the Big Mouth Burger. Overall it was an okay visit considering it's mainly a diner. The service was good - though they were not busy. The burger was okay. Sadly they use frozen patties even though they sell steak. Confused by that but likely a cost choice. The tea is plastic bag tea - not fresh brew. The value was decent compared to surrounding restaurants serving the same meal. The biggest issue I had was cleanliness. Everything around the tables is covered in dust - the blinds, blind shelves, light strings, etc. There was also food left over from the last visitor on my booth seat. Lastly, the light cover seemed to have been attacked by an accidental spray of ketchup or A1 and it has been sitting for a long time. I may try again for their ribeye steak just to see if there is any difference in service / quality. It should also be noted the parking lot is pretty small and shared with other businesses. read more

I enjoy dinner at Buzz Inn in Monroe about once a week. The food is very good for the price and the servers are attentive and friendly. I usually get in and out with a New York strip steak, baked potato, salad, glass of cab and tip for $50.00. Buzz Inn provides excellent value (food and service) for my money. read more

Don't come here unless you want a heart attack haha. Expect all of your eggs, hashbrowns, and french toast to be soaking in and tasting of butter. read more

The food continues to be good and the service great, but the penny pinching is too much to make this place enjoyable. I used to be a regular, taking my family of 5 there 2-3 times a month. But no more, the changes over the past year or so have made this no longer enjoyable. While I could go on and on, here are the three things that I noticed that have changed my opinion. 1. They no longer give a birthday discount. Unlike some other places that give you a discount for the entire birthday month, they only gave it to you on your actual birthday. But no longer. This is crazy, rarely does anyone go out for their birthday by themselves, now they just lost the ticket for the entire party, just to save a few dollars. 2. Tipping guide on the receipt, the guide provides tip rates AFTER taxes. Tipping has always been voluntary and should be based on the pre-tax total. 3. They now have a "Transaction Fee" of roughly 3% for credit cards. I might expect that from a family-owned restaurant, however not from a chain. By using credit cards, it reduces the amount of time the employees spend balancing the receipts. They should take a lesson from Costco and the $1.50 hot dog / drink deal. People will spend $100's at Costco but feel like it is a deal because they get a $1.50 hot dog and drink on the way out. Sure, these are only 3 things, but these are the things I see, what are they doing that I do not see? read more

Bacon was not cooked right and was very thin. The bacon could be better, thicker, crispier.

Happy hour 3-6 pm daily gives you half off on an entire menu. My family like to get the 24 wings, normally priced at $24, but $12 at this time. Options, naked, bbq, teriyaki, inferno sauce. Husband for bbq Daughter got naked with a side of blue cheese and inferno sauce. I got a taco salad Son got the classic burger with fries. Husband also got long island ice tea, not badly priced at $8. If you have a 2020 entertainment book there is a coupon in there for buy one entree get one free up to $11. So take advantage of happy hour for your appetizers and use the coupon for entrees. It is the best option price wise. Service is always just ok when we go in. Nothing to write home about. read more

Used to be decent but they changed something. The ribeye steak I always get is now gnarly and almost inedible.( after 3 try's I finally give up) it's too bad, i used to be able to get a good meal for a decent price. I would have rather they raised the price a little instead of changing to garbage meat read more

We were weekly customers and like supporting local businesses versus corporate chains. We'll no longer support this local business as the regular morning, single dining room waitress was offensive and rude. After I nodded at this waitress upon entering, while she was restocking napkins / other, we entered the empty dining room and chose a table.( except for a couple patrons in the separate bar section) When asked if we wanted coffee from across the room, she approached us with coffees and a "Can I ask a question: do yawl know how to read? " The sign says please wait to be seated. She then stated that we never comply and always just walk in. This is absolutely untrue as we've had several other servers wait on us and point for us to sit anywhere upon entering when she isn't working, as she has also done in the past. (Not sure if it was her issue, or prompted by her manager?) Its incomprehensible that a server would insult and lecture customers in a condescending tone for this type of an issue first thing in the morning.( In a completely empty dining room) Note: we always tip @20%+ and aren't looking for special treatment(even when service is marginal) We're Just looking for good food and service. Considering the local business competition and economy, insulting customers at ~7:05 a.m. should never be an acceptable business practice. We are mature, and civil citizens that know how to read and speak. We've lived in this community and supported this business for over 35 years+. After deciding to leave the restaurant and dine elswhere, my wife stated that we should speak with the manager before exiting. The waitress then responded: "The manager will tell you the same thing" and she then asked if the sign should be moved to the center of the aisle to block entry?! Sadly, all lose in this rediculous situation as the breakfast food quality is good, and prices are reasonable. We will support the competition from now on. Lousy way to start our morning. read more

I had the most disgusting burger ever at the buzz steakhouse the service was absolutely rude! Then they charged me $30 for a burger where your burger was smaller than the bun the bun was so thick and they poured blue cheese dressing all over it. Trying to make it look like a blue cheeseburger.Yes the most disgusting thing I've ever eaten in my life. Don't go there rude service, disgusting food! read more

Fantastic service and the food was amazing!!! Very clean just hated need a door code for bathroom. read more

We came here after a disappointing experience with Red Robin. We should have came here first. The staff was nice, had a great personality, great knowledge of the menu, something for everyone on said menu, and the prices were reasonable. The place was clean, the food was well seasoned, and tasted great. Definitely come to this place if you get a chance. It is easy to find, and has its own parking lot.. read more

Bill, I know it is harder these days to find good help. However in the hospitality business , there is no excuse for having someone seated for 15 minutes without a greeting from a server , a drink order or any acknowledgment when walking out and explaining this was unacceptable. As we were leaving we were left with a smartass comment from a waitress. You should be embarassed. read more

We use to love coming to this place. Quick food and the claw machine is nice for our kids. The last month they have got new people and it's gone down hill. Dallas was very weird to us once when he came up to ask if we wanted drinks and we informed him we had already gotten our order taken for drink he got mad and then just stood at our table staring at us like it was our fault someone else took our drink order. It made us very uncomfortable. Then this weekend we thought we would give it another try. Big mistake. We were told to grab a seat so we did. For 15 minutes not one person came to help us. Dallas was busy counting his tip money right where everyone could see then started to help a big table that came in after us. We had enough time to win two animals at the claw machine and pick out food and still wasn't helped. So we got up walked out. As a family of 4 who would have got 2 breakfast items 2 kids breakfast items and a couple drinks you guys lost a Sale and we won't be back. We use to come atleast a Couple times a month and now I won't chance it. read more

Visit for brunch didn't start well. Sign in lobby says "wait to be seated" so we waited a few minutes while servers went back and forth in front of us. One finally stopped and said "order at the register unless you want to sit in the lounge which has table service." OK, if that's what we should do why does the sign say "wait to be seated?" BTW while we were waiting saw a server adjusting the toast on a plate she was delivering, using her bare hands which I'm sure had been handling dirty plates etc. Put in our order, mine was for corned beef hash which I try at any new breakfast place. Got a mug of coffee and found a table. Order was delivered less than 10 minutes later. Hash was underwhelming. Crispy on the outside, but mush on the inside, low on meat and VERY salty. Served with a side of hash browns and eggs. Giving three stars as service was fine after the slow start, and my wife enjoyed her veggie omelette. read more

A good breakfast with really good coffee. We sat in the bar and got good service. The bartender was nice friendly and professional. A friend and I both ordered the skillets. She ordered the tsunami and I ordered something else which I can't recall the name of at this moment. We were both struck at the different size of each. The tsunami appeared to have double the amount of food on her skillet than mine. I'm not entirely sure why as I didn't read all of the ingredients on the various skillets. Mine had really good flavor and the potatoes had a nice crunch to it. read more

The oatmeal was so BAD it wasn't cooked "microwaved" I asked the waitress if she could heat it up? She told me we were not her only customers. So she took it back, I watched it set upon the counter for 15min. when she came back my friends had finished eating. They said their food was good but the waitress was terrible, I will tell this truth to all that will listen - she was a real donkey. read more

The food order was screwed up and there were things missing. B so if your ordering from them you need to be very specific about each item and what is coming with each item and any extras. read more

I eat breakfast and dinner here on a regular basis - usually get great service, and enjoy the food, especially the corned beef hash breakfast and their rib eye steak dinner. Always had good service, Prices are moderate ($12 or so for bfast w/coffee, $20 for steak dinner with NA drink). Steak has always been cooked perfectly, medium rare. My kid loooves the chicken fried steak. Menu is much like Dennys, but the food is actually prepared and cooked, not heated up in a microwave. Big screens on the wall with sports, fun atmosphere. 4 stars because they excel at what they do - tasty, filling home cooked food served up by sassy waitresses who (generally) keep your coffee cup full. And last night i got a surprise, my kid couldnt finish his meal and asked for a take home box. Expecting a typical earth-harming styro box, they brought an environmentally friendly sturdy take home container. In Monroe! - 5stars on the green rating here! read more

Buzz Inn Steakhouse - Bigfoot chix fried steak - Steakhouses Near Me - Monroe, Washington

The worst meal I've had in a while. I had the Philly cheesesteak and it had a weird tinge to it, and the waffle fries tasted like they were fried in bad oil. I cant believe I paid 17 bucks for the meal and then 17 bucks for my friends bacon wrapped steak bites. He said they sucked too and only ate a couple. I will never go here again. read more

Buzz Inn Steakhouse - Only for 1 - Steakhouses Near Me - Monroe, Washington

Great atmosphere, very friendly staff. Food was pretty good, competitive prices with the area.

Stop Spending your hard earned money here! Shortest liquor pours in the State of Washington. Tightest pull tabs in the State of Washington. Stopped in the Ellensburg, WA Buzz Inn (after the Monroe Buzz Inn disappointment) on our way to the Gorge. It has the greasiest dining room floor EVER. Disgusting! Disgusting! Disgusting! Earned 1/2 a Star all the way around! read more

It's not a labor shortage when the staff are standing around laughing and carrying-on while all but two tables are dirty. Had to wait 25 minutes for a burger that was so cold it didn't melt the cheese. I am not sure why buzz inns are so hit and miss at the same locations but I think this was my last try at this one. read more

Best place in Monroe. Great staff too. We eat there all the time. Wish there were more food places to eat around here.

This could've been a three star review. I usually don't care too too much about "hands-off" service as long as the food is great, but I was quite unimpressed with our waitress who brought out the food. We had ordered a side of vegetables with our steak, but they accidentally brought out chowder. Mistakes happen, so we kindly let them know, but the waitress said "No, you ordered chowder." Now I had very clearly heard my mother order vegetables (she firmly believes chowder is unhealthy and would never order it), so I spoke up and let her know that she did order veggies. She grabbed the chowder, let out a huge sigh, and left without an apology. Now onto the food: - Sirloin steak: Delicious! Ordered a medium, and it came out medium. Very tender and seared well on the outside. The sides of veggies, salad, and chowder, were lacklustre. The salad had shredded cheddar cheese on it (what?). However, for $15, great steak - Country Fried Steak (chicken): the gravy was below average, tasting slightly like it was from a mix. The steak itself was tasty, however there was very little actual meat - certain parts honestly seemed like just breading. The chili was good, but not great. The raspberry vinaigrette for the salad was thick for a vinaigrette. TLDR: Sirloin steak was great; everything else not so much read more
