Apple crumb cheesecake
Tina S.

I ran across this place to take my mom near her house on her birthday. The place is small but quaint. The service was great and friendly. We got the fried green tomatoes to start yum I got fish and chips and mom got beef stroganoff. For dessert mom had apple crumb cheesecake and I had chocolate cheesecake. Just a note the fried green tomatoes were so good I got mom some to go. Including drinks and nice tip about $87 I will definitely be back and highly recommend. We went on a Friday at 4:30pm something tells me they get very busy on weekends and have outdoor seating as well

Always a great experience at main street. Servers are friendly and attentive. Food is great and comes out fast. Cute little place if you are in monroe definitely check it out!

Grilled chicken salad with Italian dressing
Pickyguy P.

First time here and had some lunch!!! We will be back! We sat outside at the sidewalk tables. Weather was beautiful! Service was great...food was great!!! I had the grilled chicken salad and it came in a bowl!!! You don't see salad served in a bowl very often and I loved it! Ingredients were fresh, portion was very good and I didn't have to ask for extra dressing!!! We will be back to try the dinner selections one day! When you go, get ready to guess how many pennies there are on display (thats all I'm gonna say!)

Salad Southern Fried Chicken Salad and Bistro Burger
Savie M.

Tried the Bistro out on a whim and we were really impressed. We come a few times a month now! The ambiance inside is a small, quaint bistro vibe and eating outside is a real treat. Service is amazing and the food has been phenomenal. Only bummer is having to go inside to register to pay instead of being able to pay your server which is fine, just kinda annoying. We had the fried chicken salad, burger, quesadillas, Alfredo, chicken tenders, fries, and ice cream cookie sandwiches and ALL WERE DELICIOUS! Pros: Amazing food (everything we've tried we loved) Fair pricing Friendly staff Great outdoor seating Cons: Having to go inside to pay at register Closed Mondays and Tuesdays and early on Sundays.

Date night in Monroe!
Brian V.

My wife and I decided to try a date night in Monroe and the Bistro seemed to have limited reviews that were mostly 4-5 stars so we decided to give it a go. I already knew what I was ordering after previewing their menu on Yelp. We ordered drinks then fried raviolis, Caesar salads and I ordered spaghetti & meatballs and my wife ordered the chicken parm entree. I enjoyed the fried ravioli and the red sauce had great flavor. The Caesar salad was good but the croutons were small square like the store-bought type. With that said, I did enjoy the salad. Considering this is an Italian style restaurant I was surprised that they didn't serve a loaf of bread with butter before the entree. I thought that complimentary addition was customary in a restaurant that serves Italian food. The spaghetti and red sauce was good but the meatballs were small and there was only 3 on the plate. There was more than enough pasta, but I would have rather enjoyed more protein and less pasta. My wife enjoyed the red sauce but she was not fond of the breading in the chicken parm. The chicken was more like a processed patty rather than what I expect in an entree of chicken parm. I enjoyed the limited meatballs with the red sauce and the toasted Ciabatta bread that came with the entree. I'm not sure whether my wife liked hers because she took most of the meal home to our son who seems to have 3 stomaches. She made a comment about the chicken not being what she expected. We both enjoy a good chicken parm. and when I tried hers it was the tendered chicken breast that we both normally enjoy. Next time I will heed my own advise and wait until a restaurant has an adequate sample size of reviews before trying it out.

Bistro Burger
Scott S.

First time exploring downtown Monroe. Read the reviews and had lunch! Great decision!! Sweet staff, great food and quick service. Ate our food before pic!! Empty plate speaks for the food! That was the bistro burger! Highly recommend!

Caesar side salad
Peter M.

Main Street Bistro offers a nice variety of Italian-themed cuisine that fills you up while not breaking the bank. Nice. We stopped in for a late leisurely lunch and were promptly greeted. Daily specials are on a large board so we each ordered one.  Afterall, if daily specials suck . . . well, why return, right? They didn't! The chicken in my wife's salad was fried perfectly and my mushroom penne was  delicious as well. After a couple bites the chef, Tom (whom we learned later is the owner), approached to inquire about his work. I stated the pasta needed more salt which he immediately agreed knowing how sensitive some diners are to sodium. A couple of shakes later and the dish sprang to life. I liked his attention to detail. The restaurant's  hope is "that every bite not only fills your belly but warms your heart!" You did and thank you. Looking to get your belly filled? Warming my heart to happy, too, on my "Give 'em a whirl" meter. Mangia qui!

Salmon and veggies
Charlotte W.

Stopped by for dinner during the car show downtown. I ordered the salmon cake special but they were out but they had a salmon filet instead. They salmon filet was delicious!! Perfectly seasoned. The veggies were great and fresh. My husband ordered the chicken marsala. It was delicious and came with a salad and two sides! So much food and all delicious. Our server was new but did an amazing job! We sat outside and it was great service.

Pasta Alfredo with Crispy Chicken
Peyton H.

This is our favorite restaurant in all of Monroe. Maybe even one of our favorites of all time. The decor is adorable, such a vibe. The waitresses are so sweet and very attentive (it's always the same two ladies when we go and we usually visit for lunch). The food is incredible, I'm talking great. You can tell the chef truly cares about his dishes and they are packed with flavor and cooked with care. I also love that they prioritize fresher ingredients! My husband has a dairy allergy (I'm sure the chef and waitresses will recognize our order as soon as they read that part ) and they always take wonderful care of him making sure his meal is made and handled correctly. I also think the prices are reasonable and the location is great! This is THE place!

Cute little place with some amazing ice cream! We have been meaning to pop in for a while now, and…read moreit is definitely our loss for waiting for so long! There is plenty of parking in the plaza and tables both inside and out where you can enjoy your treat! We tried the cinnamon toast crunch and butterfinger, and both were exactly what you would expect! They have quite a few flavors to pick from, so I will definitely need to go check out some of the others. Prices are very reasonable with a small at $4, medium at $6 or a pint at $10. They also have a loyalty card and punch a hole for every order. Once you fill the card, you get to spin the wheel and win a prize, anything from free ice cream, t-shirt, hat, or even a stuffed puppy (Hank). Unfortunately, Hank was not there today, but just another reason to go back! The employees behind the counter were friendly and were cleaning and picking up between customers,keeping the place tidy. It's definitely a place to go and check out!

We went to Hanks Carolina Creamery (address is: 103 G Wilkes Dr. Monroe, North Carolina) today and…read morei have got to give him props! My sons wanted to go to SweetFrog but i told them lets go try some real ice cream. I got the coffee caramel, my daughter got cookie dough (she said its REAL cookie dough and was delicious), my oldest son got cookies & cream (fun fact, it takes 44 Oreos to make a batch), my youngest son got vanilla (he took a bite and told him wow you did a good job, it's delicious!). Before we left my youngest told him "you do a really good job with your ice creams, thank you"! There is also a freezer of pints (cash only) if you want to bring some home to enjoy! If you love ice cream and like to support local like my family does, please stop in to Hanks Carolina Creamery! Check out his merch too while youre there!
