Mal's (short for Mallory) Krazy Krab is a family run business in a less than ideal location. It is…read moreoff the main road in what seems like a business park, not somewhere you would expect to find a restaurant. I say less than ideal because you can't see the storefront from the main road, so they don't really have any exposure to nearby vehicular traffic and the signage is easy to miss. [ THE EXPERIENCE ] Mal's offers both fried & boiled seafood items and on our first visit we tried both. The FRIED CATFISH & SHRIMP PLATTER #1 includes two perfectly golden flaky fillets, six shrimp, fries, hush puppies and coleslaw. Excellent flavor in the breading of the catfish & shrimp, however, the coleslaw and hush puppies were just average, and the fries can be hit or miss. Since that first visit, I have come back three more times! Each time we were greeted by Miss Maurice, a kind, extremely hospitable and down to earth server that will make you feel like a member of the family. Service is unexpectedly fast considering she basically ran the entire dining room alone on three of our four visits. Here are all the items we've tried: [ THE FOOD ] * MAL'S KRAZY BOILED PLATTER #2 2 clusters of snow crab legs, 8 shrimp, sausage, potatoes, corn and boiled eggs. The seasoning of the boil was very good, but a tad salty. It seemed to me salt was added after the dish was plated and it honestly didn't need it. Overall, it was still very tasty, just something I thought I should note. (4 stars) * FRIED MUSHROOM APPETIZER Very good and plentiful. The house-made remoulade sauce made them even better. (4 stars) * FRIED CATFISH & SHRIMP PLATTER #1 By the third visit Catfish & Shrimp had become my staple meal. It is so me of the best fried fish and shrimp I've had anywhere. It is very apparent Mal changes her cooking oil often. The fried foods don't have a heavy greasy taste and have been perfectly golden every visit. (5 stars) * FRIED CLAM STRIPS So good! Perfectly breaded, perfectly seasoned, perfectly fried. (4.5 stars) * FRIED LOBSTER TAIL ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! A must try! (5+ stars) DISLIKES: The only items I'm not a huge fan of are the corn on the cob, cole slaw and the french fries. PRO TIP: Come for lunch! The specials are very reasonably priced!!! [ FINAL THOUGHTS ] The entire staff welcomes everyone with a strong sense of "glad you are here". They were eager to correct any errors and on each & every visit insisted we come back real soon! Surely they will be in business for many years to come with their combination of great food and welcoming service! Mal's restaurant has quickly and easily become my FAVORITE place to eat in Monroe. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED if you are in the area or any nearby suburban city!

I thought it was cool that they have themed bathrooms, too. Food: Focaccia We received a good portion for the price ($5). Our waitress also provided oil to go with the focaccia, but I mostly dipped mine in the tomato sauce that came with the risotto balls. The focaccia tasted amazing! Risotto Balls We received three to four in total. They were a decent size and a light, tasty appetizer. Salmon Puttanesca I received a decent portion of salmon on top of the pasta and the dish itself arrived piping hot (go back and rewatch)! ‍ The seasoning used on the salmon didn't overpower the dish as a whole and the pasta had enough sauce to coat. It overall was an amazing dish. Service: We had a very attentive server! One of the managers came by and checked on us as well, which doesn't always happen at restaurants.

AI tells me that "A standard gyro consists of seasoned rotisserie meat wrapped in a soft pita bread with tomatoes, onions, tzatziki sauce, and often french fries."

Also disappointed and hungry after.. Go for happy hour and eat somewhere else.

It's neat that this restaurant is located in an old local grocery store. We made our way to the restaurant portion of the store. There's a huge display case of hot food and a big menu board to check out. There was so much on the menu board, I didn't know what to get. I noticed they had daily specials. I opted for the daily special. It was a great way to be able go get a little of everything. I wanted to try it all! I really wanted the baked chicken but there was a lot going on on top of the chicken. The seasoning looked overwhelming so I decided to get the chicken tenders. For my sides I got fried brussel sprouts, collard greens and grilled zucchini/squash. My husband got the club sandwich with a side of mac and cheese. My fried brussel sprouts were so good! Fried perfectly and salty. It came with a good balsamic dip. The collard greens were tender. The grilled zucchini and squash mix was tasty! My chicken tenders were kinda dry. I really wanted to like them since it was the main dish but I couldn't. I had a bite of my husband's sammy and it was so good! I love the toasted sourdough bread they used. The turkey and ham was good as well. I didn't get a chance to try the mac and cheese. All of it was eaten before I could even get a bite. Overall, service was ok. The gal at the register seemed annoyed when we were asking her questions about the menu and the food they offered. Even when I asked her for a to go box, she seemed bothered. It's in your job description to help people. I find it humorous when people act like that in the food industry. I know we will be in Monroe a couple more times before we travel back home. I do want to come back and try a couple more things. The fried chicken looked so good in the hot case. Hopefully my next experience will be with someone who actually wants to help their guests.

We both ordered the tea service that included chicken salad on a toasted croissant. It was very delicious indeed. The desserts were well-portioned and just the right size. The atmosphere was enchanting, adorned with an array of elegant Victorian hats inviting guests to don them while enjoying their tea. I selected a stunning large purple brim hat that accented my outfit beautifully. Each table was thoughtfully set, featuring charming vases brimming with fresh, vibrant flowers that added a touch of warmth and color to the scene. I definately will be going back in the near future.

I finally found what I was looking for in Monroe Pizzeria & Eatery. The service is impeccable, with our server checking in regularly. The atmosphere is friendly. We were there for lunch so not much of a drinking crowd. It might be louder in the evening. Now to the star of the show - the pizza. The crust is a little thicker than the traditional NY thin, more like Connecticut. But the taste was perfect. The sauce is bright with a good zing. And the toppings were *chef's kiss*. We had mushrooms, char and cup pepperoni, fresh ricotta, banana peppers and black olives. Absolutely delicious! I'd give more than 5 stars if I could.
