Chips, salsa and queso were tasty. Some of my food was burnt and cooked too hot and too fast.

We've been back several times and I'm happy to say each visit has been wonderful. My wife loves fajitas and I'm a sucker for anything with queso. Their Pollo Con Crema with peppers and onions, is served with a side of rice and beans. Outstanding, IMO. Looking for a solid Mexican restaurant with happy people and reasonably priced food?

They informed us…read morewhen we sat down the kitchen was closing in 5 minutes so my wife opted for the club sandwich and I got the chicken tenders. Her club was huge and stuffed with cheese and meat and really good looking bacon. My chicken tenders were big and well cooked and the honey mustard sauce was excellent. Even with them closing in a few minutes we didn't feel rushed or in the way. They were attentive to us keeping our drinks filled and making sure I got a box to take my chicken home for later. Yes their chicken tenders were good enough to want to take home. Hope to visit again soon.

So, I figured it was time to update my review of this amazing place. As I mentioned before, I'd…read morekeep coming back; and, true to my word, I'm literally there every Sunday for Brunch, grinning like I own the place while the staff (who are absolute gems, by the way) welcome me in. I've also stopped by for dinner a few times, and let me tell you, these folks don't miss. The food? Always fresh and delicious. The service? Fast, professional, and somehow still warm and personable. They've really built a fantastic team here, and at this point, I'm pretty sure I qualify for honorary family membership. Someone get me a name tag that says "MSB Cousin." If you're ever there for Brunch when the "Big Stack" is on the menu, please try it. You're going to love it, and the many other brunch and dinner items on the menu.

Their location, IMO, is not ideal making them a destination and not a passersby decision. That said, great food is paramount to draw the crowd, and unfortunately, their fare is good, but not great. There's a ton of places just like it in Monroe. Sorta the "been there, had that" type of cooking. Too much is frozen food from Sysco and dropped in the fryer. That ain't cooking. While I enjoy my visits here, nothing has my "Give 'em a Whirl" meter shouting, "Bro, did you see what Southern Roots is whipping up for the weekend?"

First thing I noticed they have shecrab soup...instant win there. I ordered a big bowl and it did not disappoint. I order ten wings, garlic parm and teriyaki. Wing sauce is good but I did order the blue cheese. I am spoiled with homemade blue cheese from another local restaurant and you can tell it is definitely basic dressing. Atmosphere is great and I would want to see this place when it's busy. Four stars because of the so-so blue cheese...but other than that it's 5 all the way!

I knew what to expect walking in a gas station but didn't know it was going to be cooked fresh and DELICIOUS! The service was super friendly and pointed me the right direction. I wanted a rice dish and got the lamb to try out. Wow! It was full of flavor and not greasy like some places. Ultra flavorful rice, with meat and a nice salad to go with it covered in a nice white dressing. You can also get a hot or a garlic sauce on the side. This will be the first of many times we will go. 1. Take out only 2. Grab a drink there at gas station or at QT and enjoy a nice halal meal.

It is in downtown Monroe with street parking and some public parking lots. Our daughter said she has been there around 11:00am and got a spot on the street right in front. It is very eclectic with decor and items for sale. They have indoor seating, seating along entrance hall and outdoor seating. You order at one counter, which has a large menu boards above the counter. The young lady that took our order was very nice. You pay over at the bar area. It was not busy at the time we were there. I had the Salad Sandwich. You can get it with chicken salad, tuna salad or chickLESS salad. I had the chicken salad in a spinach wrap with lettuce and tomato. There are other bread options. The wrap was filled with the chicken salad. It was nicely seasoned and tasted really good. My husband and daughter both did the Pick Your Burger, a build your own. My husband had the burger with bacon, lettuce, tomato, pickles, grilled onions and pepper jack cheese. My daughter added bacon, lettuce, grilled onions and provolone cheese. They both said it was a great burger. We enjoyed our food. Definitely will come back.
