    Little bit of heaven
    Sarah F.

    Flavor smacks time after time! I've lived in Dallas for 5 years and eaten at HELLA boil spots.... hands down, BEST IN TOWN! There are a couple close contenders, but for consistently Husain, fast service, clean tables, no frills, tons of beer and juicy crab legs..... Rockin' Crab all day!

    Justin M.

    The absolute worst seafood boil I've ever had! The restaurant was clean and the sever was very nice and that's the 1 star. They only have head-on shrimp which was so much work to eat, but at least they were tender. The sausage tasted like freezer burn and as if they had been made 3 days ago ana reheated. The corn was hard as a rock and also tasted like freezer burn. I don't think it was actually COOKED. The potatoes were nice and soft though. So I got the combined sauces in HOT and I didn't even feel any spice at all. Over all meh! Also my Dr. Pepper was flat and tasted like watered down off brand soda. I did order an a la carte piece of catfish and surprisingly it was very good. I can't tell if it's domestic or Swai but it had a good flavor and seasoning to it.

    Nice sized snow crabs

    Nah... Disappointing. I'm going to be completely honest, The snow crabs were huge! But the rocking sauce was not good. I got a fajita seasoning and lots of pepper flavor. It's definitely not the boil we're use to. The name and the look of the restaurant, I expected Louisiana flavors but it tasted more like Hispanic mariscos. We paid about $250, we were not satisfied. Also, I later realized we were charged for a pound of shrimp and we did not receive any shrimp. ‍

    Crawfish crabs

    Online ordering was very simple and user-friendly. Once I went in to receive my food, it was ready, and when I open the bag everything was cooked to perfection. I had the Cajun style, medium spicy crawfish and crab legs. It was a fantastic flavor!

    My husband had dined here recently and loved the food so I wanted to give them a try. This was my first "Cajun food in a bag" experience so I wasn't sure what to expect. They brought out plastic bibs and ginormous plastic gloves. I clumsily tried the gloves (think clown sized gloves) but unfortunately decided to forego the bib. Big mistake after I noticed my dirty shirt from the sauce! We ordered a pound of king crab legs and shrimp. Unfortunately, they only offer starchy vegetables so not good for those on the Keto diet. I love my veggies so this was a disappointment. The food arrived to the table quickly and super hot. My husband loved the crab legs, although it took longer to extract the meat than to actually eat it. The shrimp, cooked in the shell, was delicious. We opted for the spicy mix of sauces, as recommended by our waitress. Super good! The area is a little sketchy and the restroom was disgustingly filthy. I would definitely recommend their food, especially as carry-out.

    Cockroach on my beer after crawling over the sauce.

    While eating with my girlfriend we saw a roach on our table approach our food. We told our waitress she said that she was sorry and that she would get the manager. Five minutes later she comes to our table and tells us they have no manager that day. We got 20% off our meal and she took off my drink.

    This is definitely not Boiling Crab by any means. The flavor is different for sure. Ordered the crawfish whole sha-bang and king crab legs with corn & sausage. Not a bad preparation overall, especially if you are not in the mood for a long wait at BC. The ambience is good & we were seated immediately.They offer gloves to keep your hands mess free, which is great. They have a good choice of beers - Kirin & Sapporo too. Fast and attentive service staff. The pricing is moderate so it's not a bad deal overall.

From the empanadas that are cheesy and meaty you could eat as a meal alone, to all the flavors of each sauce they offer is exceptional. The poblano sauce is so good, I'd like to get a job in the kitchen for the recipe. We also asked for a side of the mole sauce just to try, it was smoky, sweet, and the right amount of spices. The tacos remind me of the tacos I get in Mexico with the grilled pineapple and picked onions. The salsa offered with the chips is warm and I love that. Will definitely be a go to restaurant for me.

I forgot to snap a picture but I'll list some things I tried: Empanadas- 10/10- a must order. Flavor, texture, and taste are all amazing. Molé enchiladas- the molé is so good- especially for Dallas since most places are Tex Mex and molé is more Mexican. Definitely order if this is in your "taste profile." Lunch specials- I don't even know if this is on their website but they have a great lunch menu and they have a lunch combo special where you can pick two items for $10.50 and it comes with rice and beans. I ordered the cheese enchilada and the mini chimichanga. Full disclosure I didn't eat the mini chimichanga because I didn't know it was covered in queso and I hate queso (unpopular opinion- I know). I loved the enchilada though and it had chili con carne sauce which was delicious. Rice and beans were also very good. Next time I'll just say no queso on the chimi. The restaurant is really tiny but cozy and you can tell it is family owned. Definitely will be a regular spot for me and will be back.

This place is truly something special, from the gracious hospitality to the incredible menu. The menu delivers elevated Southern comfort food that somehow manages to feel both nostalgic and fresh at the same time. I've worked my way through almost the entire menu over multiple visits, and I can honestly say that everything is incredible. Every time I take someone new there, I tell them that there hasn't been one dish that I've ever thought "meh" about. Every dish is so flavorful and outstanding. That said, I absolutely have my go-to order: the cornbread (a must), the southern greens, and the fried chicken. The cornbread is almost like a melt in your mouth dessert, that I happily start every visit with. The greens are packed with rich, savory flavor, and I'm not kidding when I say that every time I have them, I literally dream about them for weeks after. And the duck fat fried chicken? Crispy, juicy, and hands-down some of the best I've ever had. Beyond the food, the whole experience just feels thoughtful, from the quality of ingredients to the execution of every dish. You can tell there's real intention behind everything coming out of the kitchen. If you're anywhere near Farmers Branch, this spot is worth going out of your way for. And if it's your first visit--trust me, get the cornbread, southern greens, and fried chicken. You'll be dreaming about it later.

My Overall Rating - 5 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - Monaco is one of the prettiest restaurants in all of DFW. Dark wood and dark blue seating invite you in. The bar is stunning, with back lighting highlighting their drinks. There's also an outdoor seating area, including a wind shield - perfect when the weather is nice. This is a great spot for a weekend date night if you want something outside of Dallas. 1 Star. Service - Everyone was very nice. We were never rushed, all dishes could be customized to order, and I never had to ask for a refill. Nothing but good people here. 1 Star. Food - Let me start by saying presentation matters, and the dishes at Monaco are great for your Instagram or Yelp feed. I started with the roasted oysters. I chose it because the description said the oysters are "topped with bone marrow butter". That, combined with the roasted breadcrumbs, added a nice crunchy and smooth texture to the delicious oysters. For my main, I went with the Salmon St. Harve. This beautiful dish had a perfectly prepared salmon. Soft and flaky, but with a crunch from the skin at the bottom. It was served on top of grilled asparagus and topped with a cream sauce that brought everything together. Delicious. 2 Stars. Will I Return? - Yes. It's not a secret that I love Water Street. This is an awesome area in the heart of DFW, and I'm so happy there is an upscale restaurant like Monaco that has amazing food. 1 Star.

It has the right balance between an intimate classy establishment and a casual meet up place for a few friends. I went around Christmas time and the decor was really cute and not overdone. The food was amazing, and I would say it was reasonably priced. My dad loves this place because of how healthy fish is and that he can eat it with his special diet plan due to medical reasons. I have also tried the crystal roll (no rice), eel, and tuna, all of which were amazing. I absolutely plan on visiting again.
