Onion Rings - Small

- Onion rings : flavorless unless you dip them in ranch - Salad: very basic salad but mid with dressing - Chicken Parm: Chicken had flavor, heavier on the salt side but overall decent. The spaghetti had a different sauce and flavor than the chicken and was very underwhelming. I ended up finding a hair in my pasta so I didn't finish it per the picture. - Salmon: Was decent, rice was tasteless. - Broccoli casserole: sad looking and okay - Fruit Cup: sadness, came out of cans. Overall, not a great experience and left pretty fast.

Nothing warms my heart more than a good diner

My father taught me to choose a place to eat that has a parking lot full of cars. He never steered me wrong and when I recently drove past the Palace Restaurant brimming with automobiles, I thought of my father and said to Lori, "we're going here Saturday for breakfast." Thanks, Dad! Meticulously clean and welcoming Palace Restaurant is everything a small-town diner should aspire to become. Good food, friendly staff that's been there forever, and a loyal patronage. Did I mention the food? Lori's Fried Chicken Biscuits and Gravy was a savory masterpiece in everything a southern breakfast should be (except healthy). Well-seasoned, juicy chicken smothered in a sausage gravy whose depth of flavor would make grandma beg secretly for the recipe. So. Damn. Good. I ordered the Palace Breakfast Special which is more a tray-sized platter that some would carry to the annual church supper. So. Much. Food. And good, too! Looking for a place to make your belly happy while keeping a smile on your face? Has my "Give 'em a whirl" meter circling the lot looking for parking. Go here.

Pancake Special combo

Stopped in for breakfast this morning. I love the big portions here and the service is always very friendly and attentive. We ordered the "Pancake Special" and the Corned beef hash. Both were delicious and plentiful and the biscuits are fresh and big.

Veggie omelette with grits

Our first Saturday morning visit to "The Palace" restaurant in Monroe, North Carolina. This spot was recommended by two of Shelly's teaching colleagues, Monica Potts and Logan Ellis. I could immediately tell this was going to be good, because the place was pretty full at 9 AM and there were lots of "old timers." (I am getting dangerously close to becoming an "old timer" myself now...) https://palacerestaurant.net We both had omelettes, Shelly had the veggie omelette, and I had the meat lovers with the addition of onions and jalapeños. We both also had biscuits, which was a splurge, and grits with cheese. The grits were good, some of the better ones I've had, but not as good as the grits at John Gs in Peachland. Service was excellent. Like many rural diners, they did not have any special nondairy, milk substitutes, but I'm used to that and that was fine. The real unique experience was trying "liver mush" for the first time. We discussed it with our server, so she brought Shelly a complementary serving. It was cooked, and basically fried. I found it unusual, but not particularly appetizing. Still, it's probably good that we tried it once. It is the attached photo that looks a bit like a thin brownie. The food here was good and solid quality, atmosphere was good, and I love how close it is to the Union County farmers market and downtown Monroe! We will definitely be back here. Four stars.

I don't really care for burnt toast

Eggs Up Grill - Crab Benny

Eggs Up Grill

Grabbed a seat at the counter and was promptly waited on. Hot coffee, menu, order placed. Off to a…read moregreat start. Ordered the crab Benny with cheesy grits topped with bacon. The grits paired with hollandaise made the dish too rich for my tastes. My mistake. Next time hashbrowns for me. Overall, the meal was tasty and well prepared. I discovered Eggs Up Grill years ago at Surfside Beach, SC when they were beginning their expansion. I've been a fan ever since. Has my "Give 'em a Whirl" meter ordering eggs sunny side up. Go here.

Went here with my husband on a spur of the moment decision. I love to eat out for breakfast but my…read morehusband doesn't so he ended up with a sandwich and I had eggs Benedict. I use Benedict's as my gold standard for breakfast service. I like my poached eggs runny but these were almost completely cooked, the English muffin I requested toasted 'hard' meaning I want it well toasted but it came out hardly toasted. The hollandaise sauce was a little weak and thin and sparse. The potatoes were over salted for my taste even though our server tried to fix them by bringing me a new side order, the potatoes were still too salty. So the Benedict didn't meet expectations but my husband enjoyed his sandwich. My dogs enjoyed the remains of the eggs Benedict - too expensive to throw out! But not the potatoes. I might be persuaded to try this place again in the future, but it would be because nothing else was available.

After many visits over the years, Ruby Sunshine has officially taken the top spot as my husband's…read moreand my favorite breakfast place in Charlotte. Their menu is vast and varied. They even have a "Dietary Preference" menu (look for it online), with keto, gluten-free, and vegetarian options. Some servers aren't aware of this menu, but they will see it in their Toast device if they look for it. We have landed on a couple of favorite dishes that are repeats for us. I like the Spanish Omelet keto-style. Instead of a biscuit and grits, you get a half of an avocado (sliced) and a roasted tomato. The omelet is always full of flavor, and I love it. My husband's favorite is their White Chocolate Bread Pudding Pancakes, with bacon ($2 extra). Don't let the name deter you--these pancakes aren't too thick. They are slightly chewy, and the white chocolate whiskey sauce is amazing. He rarely uses the syrup! Ruby's coffee is always good and strong, and their service is great, no matter who you get. I'm already thinking of when we will return next!

I have to say this place is a hidden gem. First the staff was attentive and the waitress was great…read morewithout being overbearing. She gave good options as well on food and drinks. It was very clean and laid back with a diverse crowd. I had the St. Charles Chicken which was awesome. I tried it with the sauce that it came with and Hollandaise. The pork sauce was very flavorful. My only complaint was that the food took a long time, but it's hard to complain when the result was exemplary. I will definitely be back.
