    Fabulous place and works well under adversity. They had an influx of people and were short staffed but did a great job! The food was amazing and the staff was wonderful!!!

    I game Meo's a 1 star, "Mr J' gave it a 3, so we settled on a 2. 'J's review: Sorry Gary, but obviously you have never had good Cajun food (rumor has it they hail from Waverly, Tn). ONE star for the beer Where to start? Red Beans...Blue Runners out of a can would have been better (hint to the chef, the celery is put into the pot FIRST, too cook down, not be in 1/2" chunks & crunchy). Cole Slaw... well, like everything else WAY too much cumin (yes folks I said cumin & oregano) in every wet dish. Yep that's Latin NOT Cajun! These guys don't even know that ALL good Cajun dishes start with the (holy) trinity..."a staple base in any Creole or Cajun cooking" (even the bad cooks know this!) Enough said, that these guys got their recipes wrong. Now let's talk price & size of dishes...anybody every order a Po-boy? Yes? So we all know that roughly 6-12 oysters usually come on that for about $8, then there's the platter which would have 8-16 oysters...well what do you think when the dish's name is Bucket of oysters...at least a dozen right? Nope! 8 overly breaded babies (but they did cook them well, still very juicy & tender). along with a way-over cooked 1/2 cob of frozen corn (sad too 'cause one thing about this area is that the corn is GREAT!), 2 boiling potatoes, Italian bread stick, 2 Tb margarine, 2Tb Thousand Island Sauce (which they called Remoulade), now envision the little thick plastic cups that Chili's gives you want mayo on the side, one had the Red Beans in (No Rice) and one had Cole Slaw. Now come on! A BUCKET for $17 ?!?, in a pasta bowl stuck in a shallow farm pan, NO Fries, No Bread (of course not, 'cause there was no oil to be sopped up!). We also tried the gumbo, which was the closest to the original, given it was overly hit w/ the cumin / tex-mex mix of herbs. Again these items taste okay, IF you like Spanish cooking (NOT Louisiana). As for the service, very young (you could tell they are going for a Joe's Crab Shack image, down to the tie dye shirts, but no personality or enthusiasm...) Hell! They know they are probably getting 10% of the bill for a tip on expensive food and are happy settling with that. In closing, I've heard that they have bands on the weekend & the place looked like it could be fun if there were more than 3 groups in the joint. However if you would like to know a comparable to this place, think of that "Cajun" place next to the bus station in Duluth Minnesota (but with airport prices & serving sizes). The one star is for the $2 draft beer, sadly, I would have liked more of those, but our waiter wasn't the sharpest tack in the box. Sorry, living close by, this review disappointed us more than you. ************ 10/7/2011 Updated review While I agree with EVERYTHING 'J' stated earlier. I feel Three Stars are appropriate. So let's say this... I am taking the fact they boast about being "Cajun" & "Authentic" out of my review. Having been to The Big Easy many times, these dishes do not compare to what the real flavors are like. So I'm just doing this write up as a basic restaurant. The food is expensive, but does have flavor. There is not much variety withing a 40 mile radius, so I'm all for this place. The service is lack luster but present. I have never been there when they were busy or had a band. My neighbors go here often, (all born in Tenn) they state the reason being half for the food & half for the music. Also, last week we shared a po-boy at Mr. Poor Boy Restaurant. It was 12" long, had 14 large oysters, dressed it cost $13.50. It was yummy! (Review by 'Mr J')

    We stopped at Main & Monroe on our way back to Murfreesboro after visiting the Shiloh Battlefield…read more The food was delicious and the service was great. We ate outside, but the inside seemed welcoming and clean. We would totally go back if we weren't kind of far away!

    On arrival we were greeted and seated promptly. It was a quiet Friday afternoon around 12:30 but…read moreit sounded like the night would get Busy with music starting at 6 pm. Cute interior with soft Country back music. Outside was decorated for Christmas. We are traveling from northern WI to FL and day 2 into our trip, I needed some good healthy food in my gut and this is exactly what I got. I had the salmon over rice and a baked sweet potato with butter and cinnamon. It was very delicious and tasted like my home Cooking. I had a lemonade that I couldn't drink but for a couple of sips so asked for a to-go cup. They brought me a nice size to go cup filled with lemonade which was nice, but I felt a little bad leaving the one on the table. My husband had the M&M burger with the works (bacon, cheese, tomato, lettuce and onion) and as his side he picked cheese grits because he knew I love them. They were very cheesy and better than most grits I get in FL. 1/3 of my lunch and 3/4 of the grits got boxed up for our hotel dinner tonight. My husband said his burger was ok, over cooked for him as we are use to our burgers with a little pink to them. But, he said on a scale of 1-10 it was a 6....a little an above average. I loved how they monogrammed their restaurant brand into the top of the hamburger bun. We found this place off of Yelp as we were traveling through and just happened to pick Lexington TN as a place to stop for lunch. We are very happy with our choice and would stop back here in our travels.
