    Ribs, Beef, Coleslaw, Green beans, BBQ Sauce on the side
    Nita M.

    Shawnuff BBQ was Shawnuff delicious! This little joint off MLK is amazing. The bbq was tender, the sauce was sweet and tangy, and the veggies were cooked to perfection. The owner said I would be back, and he's right!! The next time I'm in Monroe, I'll Shawnuff be back!

    Soooo we were just passing through Monroe and found this place on Yelp. Man the food is fire. We got the ribs and sausage plate with potato salad and greens. We also had the ShawNuff plate with potato salad and beans. OMGGGGGG!!! All of it is the bomb. Man try it, you will not be disappointed, you get your money's worth and the owner was friendly and very welcoming. I know where we'll stop whenever we're in town.

Chicken Cobb salad was the best, very fresh and the chicken was grilled well. Fish was a little dry, and the bbq shrimp was ok, not overly flavorful. Glad we finally made it in- decent spot

    In short, horrible service experience on two different visits, and the food is not anything to…read moreovercompensate for the lack of decent service. The first time we dined here was in 2017, maybe, during which time the server slung our children's food across the table while setting it down-- french fries can roll off a plate with gusto! It was when the server placed the food back on the plate for the kids to eat as if we didn't all see what had just happened that put us off to coming back here. Fast forward to June 2026, it's a Saturday evening and the place my husband and I wanted to go was packed. We decided to give The Fat Pelican another try. When we walked in, there were only three tables occupied. As we stood there waiting for any signs of life from someone employed by this place, we could feel the stares from a particular table, as if trying to warn us to leave while we still could. But hindsight is always 20/20. A sweaty man emerged from the kitchen and told us we could have a seat wherever we liked. As we looked over the menu, I noted the shrimp plates all indicated (imported), which is pretty odd, being close enough to the gulf, and because our booth was right next to a poster celebrating some Louisiana Shrimp festival. I ordered unsweetened tea, which was more watery than tea, and patiently requested a soda instead, which he forgot about. One of the original 3 tables energetically waived sweaty man down, asking for their check so they could leave. Another quickly followed suit. The third table may have been playing mahjong-- they were clearly content in being out and visiting their friends. When it was our turn for what may have finally been the undivided attention of the server, we ordered. My husband ordered a steak. "We're out of steak"........ I ordered while he reconsidered the menu, really wanting to just abort the whole mission. There is a $1.50 up-charge for the loaded baked potato, which would have not been a big deal, but my husband's "loaded baked potato" was dry. We didn't bother to hunt the sweaty man down to ask for more butter, because we were both pretty frustrated. Because we were looking forward to a place that included dessert with their meal, we absolutely ordered the chocolate fudge cake. Look-- no shade on Duncan Hines or their brownies, but that is clearly what we each paid $8.99 for. You could literally taste the Duncan Hines, which was topped with ice cream and some confusing blue berries. It was a relief to pay out and leave, especially since the indie hits playlist had started its second loop. If you're still reading and wondering.. no one else came in to dine while we were there. There won't be a third time.

    I indulged in a rather late lunch this Saturday afternoon at a spectacular establishment right on…read morethe street in Monroe. It is a truly magnificent venue Cotton and it was understandably bustling with a very lively, chic Saturday crowd. The interior design is absolutely exquisite. I was deeply impressed by the sophisticated decor and the stunning murals that grace the space. It had been quite some time since my last visit, and stepping back inside reminded me exactly why this place is an absolute standout. I was escorted to a wonderfully private table, which allowed for a perfectly serene dining experience despite how busy they were. The service was entirely impeccable from start to finish. I began the afternoon by speaking with my attentive waiter and ordering a classic Bloody Mary, which was mixed to absolute perfection. For my selection from the menu, I chose the Deviled Farm Eggs, and they were a total culinary triumph deeply satisfying and beautifully presented. Between the vibrant atmosphere, the flawless service, and the exceptional flavors, the experience deserved full marks. I am thoroughly delighted and will certainly not wait so long to return next time!

We started with the upside down chicken Caesar salad with fries. Delicious. Fries could've been hotter but the salad was the star. A meal on its own but i love that red fish so much. So seasoned, beautiful meaty fish, mmm. The service was wonderful and the sweet tea was delicious. I will always come here if I'm in town!
