Duck Fat Fries

The food was awesome! We had the duck fat fries and deviled eggs appetizers. I had the shrimp and grits and recommend it all. Other in our party has the Nashville hot chicken and loved it too! Austin took care of us and did a great job with menu recommendations. I highly recommend Cotton! The restaurant also has a very cool vibe!

This restaurant is located in a historic Monroe location and the interior is pleasingly decorated. The service was also good.

Menu

Was looking for somewhere to stop on a roadtrip in Monroe, and with all the high reviews we had to make a stop. And this stop was WORTH IT. I would easily, hands down, come back here again. The service was next level - their team helped us out a ton with our party that had an animal with us that we couldn't leave in the car in the Louisiana heat. They graciously let us bring the cats crate inside and the manager said - animals lives matter just as much as human lives. Just the comment alone had me overwhelmed. Very thankful for this kind team, they even brought the cat water to our in her crate. The vibes here felt really cool, we walked in and were immediately greeted with great art, comfortable seating, and a great open space. The food - phenomenal. We got there right as lunch started and for the table we ordered the roast beef poboy, creole catfish, espresso martini, and the delectable DELTA PUDDING. I would come back for any of these dishes, but that delta pudding was seriously the winner. I don't live in the area, but I would highly recommend and would easily come back when I'm in the area again.

Gas Station Fried Chicken (D )
Obed V.

The only reason I'm giving it two stars is because the atmosphere was great, awesome decor, and awesome spot to have dinner or lunch. But the food it's lacking flavor, the fried chicken tasted like it was marinating and nothing but milk and water, it was crunchy and juicy, but no flavor whatsoever, my friend ordered the deviled eggs and he said they were good, the mashed potatoes did have a lot of flavor and the corn was good as well very disappointed,

Loved it, everything from the service to the food, we had a memorable time. I got the roast beef po'boy accompanied by the Ghost in the Machine IPA. If I lived in Louisiana this would be my regular hang out but it will definitely be a must stop when I visit Monroe.

Duck Fat Fries

Upscale, incredible interior to match their delicious libations and decadent meals. Setting: Located in Monroe, there are available parking spots, but street parking is not an option at this time. The interior is gorgeous, made with brick and gold accents. Service: Our server was kind, and they do provide a carafe of water at the table for you to refill at your liking. We placed reservations so there was no wait for us during the weekend brunch. Food: Their French 75 was tart, bubbly, and citrusy. The duck fat fries were unctuous with their homemade sauces. The homemade biscuits with cane butter and apricot jam were a MUST GET! The gas station chicken and Nashville hot chicken were good too. The appetizers for us were truly the stars.

Deer camp meatloaf
Nick S.

Stopped in here for lunch and it was empty for the most part so I was a little concerned. I sat at the bar and was greeted by immediately by the Joli. She recommended the deer camp meatloaf, so decided to try even though I'm not much a meat loaf eater. I can honestly say that was the best meatloaf I have ever had. It was so tender and flavorful. And the brussel sprouts that accompany it.....amazing! Perfectly cooked and well seasoned. I also ordered a side of biscuits and while they were good, I didn't find them to be in the same class as the meat loaf. Service and food could not have been any better. Maybe it was a slow day, but this place should be packed everyday.

This place is fantastic! From the service to the food, everything was top-notch. We had an unforgettable time. I ordered the roast beef Boston sandwich and other dishes, and my bestie loved it too. This spot will definitely become a regular for me--every time I visit Monroe, it's a must-stop destination

Pepperoni pizza
Adriana L.

We ordered via DoorDash. The portion sizes were incredibly small for the price. The pizza arrive burnt and the crust was so hard the kids couldn't eat it. My BLT wedge salad was wilted and overdressed. More of a side salad size. The amount of salad that came with the upside down Cesar was also only a few bites. The chicken was done well and the fries were so over salted (and we love salty food) that they were inedible. The banana pudding was a disappointment. It was such a small amount for $15!!! It was warm when it arrived (which I realize is a DoorDash issue) but maybe it shouldn't be packed with the hot food on top.

We came here for a birthday dinner! Perfect place for the occasion! Half the table ordered the Chicken Cesar salad and there was not any leftovers! The Nashville chicken was also very yummy! We had a party of about 11 and our waiter was constantly checking on us, so we didn't have to really wait around asking for something! We ordered multiple drinks for the table and they all came out super fast! Would be perfect for a date night or nice family dinner!

Catfish with shrimp
Michael H.

Been over four years since I have been in the area and Cottons was always a great spot. Small group of four of us. Easy parking across the street and we were seated immediately. Decent beer menu but no stouts but the has Shiner so it was on. Three of us had the item pictured. We thought it was going to be more of platter and weee surprised when it came in a bowl. The initial disappointment was quickly erased after we took our first bite. Amazing. We had the biscuits which were not as good as I remembered. More hockey pucks with whipped butter and a seasonal jam. The butter and jam weee delicious. We also had deviled eggs and they phenomenal. I was distant the menu was much smaller than I remembered but what was on there seemed to be very good. Great service easy parking and good solid food.

Always good food and good quality. Have eaten here every visit to Monroe and never disappointed.

I have no idea where to begin but I will just say this, when a skilled Chef gets his or her hands on quality raw ingredients, something magical happens. This was one of the rare occasions that I had to pause after every bite and just appreciate the mastery that created this symphony of flavors. The Duck rolls were perfectly seasoned slices of duck breast filled with a mixture of cream cheese, diced jalapeno peppers and wrapped in bacon, and then baked until golden brown. To add another layer of flavor to this insane dish, it was drizzled with local honey! Five stars. The homemade biscuits?! What can I say, they were as good as anything I have ever eaten, even from my mother's kitchen who was a fantastic cook, but these gorgeous pieces of heaven were beyond delicious. Flaky, moist, delicate and complimented by a flight of jellies and old-fashioned syrup. Five freaking stars! The Deer Camp Meatloaf was a slice of meatloaf resting on a bed of mashed potatos and topped with a ridiculous pile of slow-roasted, balsamic vinegar-infused Brussels sprouts, again I am not usually a fan of this veggie but damn they were good! Five flipping stars. The catfish and cheese grits were delicious as well. Not really a grits type of person, but there were part of meal, they were the only "stumble" of this epic meal. 4.5 stars. The Fried pork chop and red beans and rice was exceptional! These red beans and rice were cooked to perfection and the pork chop was thin, juicy and the breading was just enough to cover the tender chop. Easily the best meal I have had in years! Well done, Cotton. Oh! The ambiance is classy and calming tunes play as you eat and take in all the amazing art work on the walls and natural wood floors and exposed brick walls. The customer service was perfect as well!! This meal checked all the boxes. If you are ever in the Monroe area, you must stop in for an experience you will not soon forget. DO NOT FORGET DESSERT!! I am all out of adjectives, but WOW!! So freaking.. Outstanding.

Wedge Salad. Yummy!

See all

Friendly atmosphere from the time you walk in the door. The ambience is nice but I suggest you make…read morea reservation because it stays busy. My favorite is the lamb lollipops and the steak bites. The filet was seasoned well and very tender. The service was impeccable. I definitely recommend.

I get the feeling that Apero is usually excellent; in my limited experience they were pretty good…read more My first visit was with my wife for our anniversary, and the staff thoughtfully prepared a table with just one chair since I told them she'd bring her own wheelchair. That was a great first impression. And then our server greeted us by asking which of us was celebrating her birthday. I'll assume that was a brainfart or a failure to read the reservation notes, but I wondered briefly whether he assumed two women dining together wouldn't be celebrating an anniversary. We started with drinks; she had a 1988 (a variation on a French Blond, but named as a tribute to the year the Women's Business Ownership Act allowed the owner to go into business for herself) and I had a Royal Navy (a zero-proof cocktail with delicious herbal and citrus flavors). They were both outstanding. The cheese board, listed as the chef's selection of 4 cheeses and housemade crostini, also included a cube of guava jelly as lagniappe. The kitchen sent it out without crostini, and our server (not one of their regular servers, I guessed) didn't tell us what any of the cheeses were. This baffled me; when we ordered it the server actually explained what 'crostinis' (sic) meant, as if we were unfamiliar with the term. Whatever they were, they were tasty, and lucky for us none was soft enough to need a platform. My wife says her jumbo shrimp skewers were great and she loved the chimichurri enough to take it home for later. My market salad ("local lettuce mix, rotating summer veg & dressing") was a perfect example of quality over quantity: pecans, crumbled cheese, fresh berries, and raspberry vinaigrette on leaf lettuce. Eight beautiful, tender pieces of lettuce. So I certainly had room for dessert. And the dessert was a real treat: a three-inch peach caramel tart, an anniversary gift to us. We enjoyed it and had an enlightening conversation with the charming GM, who confirmed my suspicions that the uneven experience was a result of another staff member stepping in to cover for a server. If Apero fits your budget once in a while, give it a try. They're likely to delight you. (But if you're used to larger portions, you might want to have a bit of a snack first.)
