Visiting our daughter at Wingate and she recommended the restaurant. Parking was interesting and…read moretook us a bit to finally find a spot. 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.

The menu offers quite a bit of options of coffee drinks, teas, food and even ice cream. MY wife and I went just for coffee, and it was delicious. By the way, it's imported Colombian coffee, and it was great! Staff was friendly and helpful. We were helped by the owners themselves, and they always had a smile, repeated our order back to us, got our order quickly, and checked on us if things were OK. The common areas and restroom were clean and comfortable, and the y did a terrific job with the looks of it. It has its own free parking lot but with limited spots. Overall, 100% recommended and can't wait to return to ty the food menu.

I didn't try any of the food this time around but my friend and I ordered their chocolate strawberry iced lattes and they were delicious!

Instantly transported through time as it looks like a 50s diner. I believe we walked in around 2:30pm and they were closing at 3 pm but a lot of other customers were walking in as well trying to get a last minute sandwich. Now, you can tell the workers working in the kitchen and behind the counter were younger kids because they were not very communicative or explained the menu well. We would ask a question and they would just reply with "yes" , "no" or look at us like if we should already know. Either way we ordered two sausage dogs and their Carolina BBQ dog. VERY DELICIOUS! A perfect little pick me up on a Friday afternoon. Their sandwiches looked delicious as well and if im ever in the area, I will def return and try other things on their menu. The owner was very friendly though and made sure everything tasted great! Lots of side street parking in the area. Oh and side note, they only accept cash.

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.

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.

Stopped in discovered they opened about a month ago. Ordered a sampler of empanadas: chicken, beef, and ham/cheese for under $10 to go. Everything was prepared as I waited in their little dining room that has a few tables and some high tops along two counters facing outside. Quaint. Charming. A little cramped. I loved it. The menu is a mixture of traditional American breakfast and lunch plus Mexican dishes like tostados, salchipapas, asada, choripan, and empanadas to name a few. I can see where they might build a quick takeout business. My empanadas were delicious. Looking to give a new business a try without breaking the bank.

When we approached the front counter to order, the same employee walked behind the counter and put on gloves without washing his hands first. Seeing that, we immediately lost our appetite even though we had been excited to eat there. There were two female employees behind the counter. After deliberating, someone in our group asked one of the women if she was the manager. She replied, "Yes. Why, what's up?" We decided to leave at that point to avoid any confrontation. A sale was lost due to this behavior, and in this economy every penny counts. We will not be returning. I believe the owner should be made aware of what is happening in their establishment, especially regarding food safety practices.

No frills, just classic execution. A throwback to street-cart glory. * Pastrami Melt: Provolone hits the melt point perfectly. Pastrami's got that peppery edge, mustard adds zing, and the lettuce/tomato combo keeps it fresh. $14 well spent. * Steve's Special Sandwich: This is the heavyweight champ. Pastrami and corned beef stacked like a deli dream, Swiss cheese binding the layers, Russian dressing and mustard playing off each other like a well-rehearsed duo. Onion crunch seals the deal. * Fries Trifecta:* Garlic Fries: Bold, aromatic, and not shy on the garlic.
