    Blazer's has grown from a tiny little shack into a fairly established eatery for this small town…read more Their wings are always really good, but we usually get their chicken sandwich and the chicken salad. I've also tried their catfish plate and fried mushrooms. In a nutshell, I'd say just stick to the wings. I believe, that's what they focus on anyway, but I write this review mostly because they've slowly digressed their quality from decent to not bad to "maybe, we should try elsewhere?" Could just be this location though. The Hartwell location I find to be a lot better with nicer staff. I actually haven't had the food in awhile, but a salad I'd gotten today--granted I'm not going here to eat healthy by far-- had some of the driest, burnt chicken I'd ever had.. Felt like they probably just gave us the throw away bits to cut cost. To top it off, the staff here has never been very friendly, in general, and rather dry themselves or just a "go die in a hole" attitude, but I guess who can blame them with being trapped in a deep fried box all day. It just wouldn't hurt to actually seem like you give a damn. We've been pretty frequent customers to this blazers due to my mother being a die hard for chicken and for the most part it wasn't half bad. Wait time on food is decent. I definitely don't expect fast food fast and have never ever minded the wait time. They give discounts to military I.D. holders and students. I also generally ignore the attitude of the staff, though some of the other places around this town could probably do for a lesson in friendliness or general customer service. It makes me wonder if it's just some weird misunderstanding from customer to employee over the years that makes them so yuck to deal with. Though then again... there are some really nice people at some of these restaurants too. Customers are the pits, definitely, I get it, but not all of us are bad, no? Anyways, I give them a three since I still think their chicken sandwich is pretty good. But if it ever comes back as dry as the catfish and the chicken on the salad, then oh well. P.S. I do really like their tea! A++ Store bought or not, still good. Edit: Owner says the tea is homemade! Big win for me! :)

    It used to be a great place but now they don't even answer the phone or make good wingsread more

    We went here for supper and we were very pleased. Staff was friendly, you can see them cooking on…read morethe griddle and the food was fresh. I had the hamburger steak, fries and slaw with Texas toast. Hubby had a hamburger with all the fixings, fries and a fresh salad. Our friend had the hamburger steak, onion rings cooked to perfection and a salad. This was the first time and it will not be the last time. We plan to go for breakfast next visit.

    Our family has eaten here for so many years that we cant even remember how long it been. However…read moreover the last few years we have watched this staple of Royston go downhill very badly. We have had to returned orders while in dine in, called about incorrect or low quality orders when we get home, I have even more recently begun or had family begin checking orders before we leave. Tonight I sent someone unaware of the issues to pick up our order. The double with bacon burger that I ordered and paid extra for was a single w/o bacon, my tater tots were instead fries, and they forgot our two orders of cole slaw. I called and after getting unthoughtout excuses from a young lady I then spoke to the owner Lee who just acted like an disinterested, dismissive and disrespectful prick, I normally would have taken up for Lee but his behavior was inexcusable I told him if that's how he chooses to act he's lost a few customers...he never asked who he was speaking to and dont think he knew so his responce was....and....I dont care...I guess we wont be seeing you again....I would say he had a bad day but his unwilling to right the issue or even right our name down to take care of it later. Had he.....he likley would have realized the family he was talking to. He didn't know who he was talking to as we are a very big family in the area and have a long history with his place. He has likely lost about 50 family members in one fatal swoop, Hes lost our families businesses ever ordering from him again. After his behavior and lack of interest in fixing anything and him allowing his business to faulter at the expense of his customers I suspect he will continue to lose more and more each day. Lee we wish you well from a distance.... but take for granted what God gives you and he will take it from you

    I am a non-chain kind of guy…read more We found this place recently. We came back. Great seafood. Great friendly service. Daily specials. Food came out hot. Offers catering quantities. Fair prices. What more could I ask for. Used to be Kim's

    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!
