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.

Will def be back when in town! Forgot to take pics sadly.

I came here on a Tuesday for lunch. The ambiance is that of an old lunch counter vibe--very simple…read moreand divey but clean. I ordered two hot dogs all the way to go. The service was prompt and efficient. From ordering to receiving the food the wait time was less than 10 mins. The hot dogs were solid overall. Nice flavor on the hot dog itself. Bun was nicely steamed. Slaw was good. Onions were fresh. My only complaint is that they were light handed on the chili and heavy handed on the onions, slaw and mustard which didn't create the most balanced flavor profile--overly vinegary and creamy without the savoriness of the chili. Which really makes the hot dog for me. Still a solid lunch choice and for $6.30 it's an unbeatable value.

Walking around in downtown Monroe on a Friday afternoon and decided to grab a quick bite to eat…read more Ran across this cute sandwich shop and decided to check them out. 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.

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.

My best friend took me here with high accolades for the food already, so I was pretty stoked. My fiancé and I got the burnt ends and pulled pork. Listen, the burnt ends were moist, flavorful, and even though I was stuffed I just had to finish it. The beans were nice and sweet. The cornbread buttery. And of course I had to get my fried okra, my favorite southern food. They didn't skimp out on portions. The restaurant was ambient and the servers on standby whenever we needed anything. The tables are stacked with different types of sauces for you to try, so you'll get the flavor you're looking for and more. I can't wait to go back down for another visit and try more stuff!

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!

Now this is my kinda place! Came in recently with a buddy after finishing up a round of golf. We…read morewere starving and this place came highly recommended online so we popped on over. Classic family diner that apparently has been owned and operated by the same family for three generations now which is great to see. We came at an irregular lunch hour so it wasn't too busy which is lucky because I've heard this place can bring a crowd. It's not hard to see why! The two workers were super friendly and sweet and we enjoyed chatting with them. I elected to go with a cheeseburger and a chili cheese hot dog. Both were exactly what I needed especially the hot dog, I'm still thinking about that chili. Our meal was incomplete though. It still needed desert. I haven't had a milkshake in a long time but being in here made me nostalgic so I had to grab one to go! I got a Reese's shake just like I used to get as a kid and boy did I not realize how much I missed them. That's the kind of place this is. It has a wholesome and timeless quality to it that takes you back to a simpler time. It's not fancy or dressed up, just quality food made by quality people. I wish I lived closer but I know I will make it back.

I wanted cheese fries, but they told me they didn't have any cheese. That made no sense because they were still selling hamburgers and chopped cheese sandwiches, so clearly they had cheese. On top of that, I was told my food would be ready in 20-25 minutes, but I ended up waiting an entire hour. When I finally got my order, it wasn't even made correctly. I asked for both white sauce and red sauce, and neither was included. The long wait, lack of menu items, and incorrect order were very disappointing. I had been seeing them promoting this place on TikTok and I wanted to support a local business, but after this experience, I hope they improve their customer service, food preparation, and inventory management. The only reason for two stars is they sauce but they stay forgetting it!!

The girl who handed me my food chased me down in the parking lot for the container of Mac n cheese: much appreciated! Headed back to the house on a short ride to enjoy our meal.......
