    Paloma

    Stopped here for lunch while my son was at a soccer camp at Wingate. Came in because reviews were good and the Tropical Salad with shrimp sounded like a perfect lunch on a hot day. I was right, the salad was delicious. Shrimp were cooked well with a lot of flavor and salad had fresh mango, cucumbers and avocado with light dressing. I also tried the guacamole and it would have been great but someone got a little carried away with the salt shaker. I ordered their Paloma to drink and it was very refreshing! All the severs were attentive and friendly.

    We stopped by last night for a quick meal before joining some folks for karaoke. 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.

Every FOH staff member was friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is adorable, funky, hip, and fun. The food?! Yum! Had vegan grits and vegan chorizo on top. My bf had a breakfast biscuit with egg and idk what else because I was too busy looking at the stickers, decor, etc all around us. Picked up a housemade ciabatta and wow! Too good. Will def be back when in town! Forgot to take pics sadly.

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.
