    The "Derek Special" Alfredo/pesto fettuccini with shrimp and asparagus
    Michelle E.

    First time visiting Monroe's with my family, and wow, what an amazing experience! My son ordered the Philly cheesesteak with sidewinder fries, and it was so juicy and so delicious. The fries were fried to perfection, crispy on the outside and fluffy inside, and the whole family loved them. My husband also tried a make-your-own pasta with an Alfredo and pesto mix, asparagus, and shrimp, a combination our fantastic server Derek suggested. We've decided to call it "The Derek Special" because it was that good! The shrimp were the juiciest I've ever had, and the flavors blended perfectly. I had the chicken capellini, which was also really good, light, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Service was out of this world. Derek took such great care of us, and even the atmosphere in the restaurant was warm and welcoming. A kind gentleman at the table beside us even paid for our meal. Thank you, mystery man! What a sweet surprise to top off a wonderful lunch. The restaurant was spotless, the menu had tons of great options, and everything came out fresh and hot. Overall, just an incredible family lunch spot. Can't wait to come back!

    Spaghetti and meatballs
    Amy S.

    We decided to try something new for our double date night out. The location is in the older part of Buckeye. It is nicely decorated with low lights and greenery. Service was awesome and fast. Our drinks were barely empty before we were refilled. Our food came out in a reasonable time as well. I ordered the chicken with spinachi pasta that had a white sauce base. It was a large portion so I took half of it home. The plate came with some delicious garlic bread. My husband ordered the spaghetti and meatballs. He enjoyed it but noted a bit of spice to it. Our friends had the flatbread and Philly sandwich. Taste was on par. We finished out the evening with a shared slice of the peach crumb cheesecake that featured bits of a honey glaze. Yum! We are hoping to try it out for breakfast soon.

    Counter - but orders are taken at the table

    I really hate writing a mid-level review of a new place, especially in downtown Buckeye where we desperately need businesses to be successful. However, honest criticism is needed for change to be made, and I really hope that they can work towards being successful. The place is clean. It's not new, and tables/chairs are mismatched, but it's a clean diner style setting. This was a one man show in the front of the house. He was doing to go orders, taking orders, bring food, the whole thing. We were there for lunch and it got quite busy with new people saying they had come across reviews on Facebook. That's why we were there too. The food. Oh, the food. A turkey & brie sandwich - asked what kind of bread. The options were white or wheat. For an Italian "inspired" restaurant, this would have been a lot better option on the focaccia that they already have. The sandwich had 2 slices of deli turkey, a piece of rubbery, wilted lettuce, tomato, roasted red pepper, and melted brie. It was on toasted sandwich bread. Served with a bag of chips Meatball panini was 2 meatballs per half, served on focaccia bread. Nothing fancy. Comes with a bag of chips. The soup. I have had my shared of canned soup in my life. This soup looked and tastes EXACTLY like Progressonsoup, with Acini de Pepe pasta added to it. Service was fast, but we got there before the crowd came in. I really do hope that they can work to make it a place that locals can enjoy, but based off the menu today, I can't even do my normal "3 strikes you're out" rule. Given 3 stars for being clean and fast, with a friendly server. Hopefully room for potential.

    Burrata pesto appetizer
    Veronica G.

    My husband and I came out to dinner. We really enjoyed the Burrata pesto appetizer. The red pesto was so delicious. My husband ordered the Gnocchi and sausage pesto and I had the Chicken Parmigiana. We came less than an hour to closing and the only in person diners. The waiter was very attentive and honest about his recommendations. We will definitely come back to try breakfast.

    Is the where the 25/35 restaurant use to be?

    No. That is now The Heritage @ Old Town. Monroe's is where Nana's & Tata's was. North side directly across the street.

I ordered an omelet with pancakes, and as someone who considers himself a bit of a pancake connoisseur, I can honestly say these were some of the best pancakes I've ever had. Light, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The omelet itself had to be at least five eggs and was loaded with meat -- definitely no skimping on portions here. Everyone at the table kept talking about how amazing their meals were. The service was equally impressive -- attentive, friendly, and polished, exactly what you'd expect from a high-end restaurant. Despite the busy holiday crowd, our food came out quickly, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting, almost like a cozy upscale bistro. While we were there, we noticed Heritage was participating in Arizona Restaurant Week for dinner, so naturally we had to come back and try it. Once again, we were blown away. I had the prime sirloin steak with potatoes, and my wife ordered the teriyaki chicken. It was a three-course meal, and every course was outstanding from start to finish. This is exactly the kind of restaurant Buckeye needs. We'll absolutely be returning many more times, especially since there are still so many breakfast and brunch items we want to try. Five stars from both my wife and me.

The building is old, which is fine it actually gives it character and charm inside. The issue is that it doesn't feel well maintained. The floors were dirty, and the bathrooms were also not clean, which took away from the overall experience. Customer service was nice. The lady with black hair who helped us was very friendly, and honestly, she made the experience a bit better. I almost feel bad pointing this out, but even small details stood out like her shoes looking dirty, not worn out, just not clean. I ordered the chile relleno, and it was my first time having it with red sauce. Not a big deal, but the sauce was surprising. It tasted more like Taco Bell sauce than an actual chile-based sauce. It definitely didn't resemble a chile colorado or anything close to a New Mexico or Anaheim chile flavor. The consistency was thick, more like a barbecue sauce, very similar to those packet sauces. The portions are big, which is a plus, but the flavor just isn't there. Overall, customer service is good, the building has charm, but the cleanliness is an issue, and the food doesn't stand out. Prices are okay maybe a little high for the location and condition of the place, but not extremely expensive.

The pizza was absolutely delicious, and there's a reason this place has nearly a 5-star rating--they truly deserve it.

Everything tasted fresh and flavorful. If you haven't tried Argentos yet, I definitely recommend stopping by and giving them a try!

    I have been looking forward to checking out their pizza…read more The pizza was super fresh and very hot when brought to the table yet, there were chunks of frozen basil on it. Kind of odd. The crust was delish - hard yet the tips were droopy - that's a beautiful job - as a NYer we look for that in a pizza. It was tasty. I did order a cannoli when I ordered my pizza. When we were ready to leave, I went up to get a box and asked if my Canoli was ready and she said "I will make it now" This isn't a sit down order at the table kind of place. From here I was sitting, I was able to watch the gals just chit chatting - I think she forgot. Not a big deal. I ended up taking it to go. Had a bite when we got home, that was yummy. Pizza is tasty would I drive back down to our downtown for it? Probably not. Glad I was able to try it. Like I said "it was tasty"
