The food here genuinely surprised me - the menu is thoughtfully executed with real flavor. The lobster roll and poutine were both very good, which isn't something you can take for granted at a waterfront spot that could easily coast on location alone. That said, the space feels like it's still finding its identity. The bones are there, but the atmosphere lacks the warmth and character that would match the quality of what's coming out of the kitchen. Right now it reads a bit generic - like those overly curated Airbnb interiors where everything looks fine but nothing feels intentional. The details seem a little unfinished, rough around the edges. With some thoughtful touches - maybe a richer, moodier paint color and some meaningful art that reflects the local character or the restaurant's personality - this place could really come together. The food deserves an environment that matches its ambition. read more

The Quarry - Seafood Near Me - Monroe, Michigan

A Beautiful awesome day amazing people of the world. A dindin sesh has been arranged here at The Quarry restaurant in Monroe, MI. Let's get to the food shall we. * Bang Bang Shrimp - Its really nice big shrimp. The sauce surfaces really well. I did enjoy this dish. 8/10 * Lobster Brie - The dips is a little muted. Cant really taste the lobster in the dip. Over all pretty good. 7.2/10 * Whipped Feta - It's nice and light. I can taste the honey. Bread is nice too. 7/10 Truffle Fries - Truffle is present. Sweet and savory finish. Its definitely pleasant. 8.2/10 Rock Fries - Cheese is prominent. A little too much actually. The bacon add more depth. The red onions are necessary. 8/10 Blue Gill Slider - I can taste the fish. Theres a slight finish. The tartar sauce isnt very present. 7.4/10 Spicy Fried Chicken - Superb! I did enjoy the texture. Everything I expect from a chicken sandwich is on point. 8.2/10 Lamb - Its a little salty. Almost smacks you in the mouth. The lamb does surface, but all i could really think about it salt. 6.8/10 The setting, specially the outdoor area is dope. Service is very attentive which does take rating to at least a 4 star. If you ever are in Monroe, Mi. Do give this spot a proper go at it and let me know what you think. Hit that follow for more food and travel adventures by yours truly.

Although the food was very good, the time management was not. It took an hour to get our drinks and then another 45 minutes before our order was taken. There were 29 of us so maybe more than 1 waitress should be working with us. The waitress seemed to be working many other tables as well. She should not have been allowed to do that. 3 hours for dinner is excessive. read more

So this place needs a management overhaul- it took 1/2 hour to get our drink order even taken. Then another 1/2 to receive our drinks. Then they finally took our food order - then another hour to get our food. The food was ok when we finally received it - but not 3 hour experience good. The staff seems to be working hard - but either needs more training or just more of them. read more

Went here tonight to try a new place. A little disappointed. Shared the dip trip. The guacamole and queso were pretty good but the salsa was straight on overpowered with garlic. Also ordered the traditional deviled eggs and they were overpowered with horseradish taste and a little dry. My cheeseburger sliders were tasty. The sweet potato fries were hot and delicious. My husband's ribeye was tasty too. His mashed potatoes were not good. Would have liked to be able to choose three different sliders. But you can only order them all the same. The waitress was very nice and food came out quick. Would like to try it in the summer to check out the view. read more

The best part about this is the ambiance and the view of the quarry. They have tables outside that you can sit at. We went during the summer and when the sun was setting. It was amazing. So that is that good. The food is alright and reminds of just regular bar food. There really is nothing special about the food. The service was good and everyone was super nice. Would I drive 45 minutes to go to this place again....probably not. However, if someone invited me there and just wanted to chill I would go. read more

Casual atmosphere with waterside dining outside, not dog friendly on the deck. Blue Moon not on draft, usually is and my bad for not asking as they had a draft list with some good choices. Sliders are decent size, salmon had a bourbon glaze, lobster roll was filled with cream cheese and okay. Crab cakes are pan seared and on the small side. Fries are hot and decent. Little on the higher price point but decent portions. Parking is along the road and pinched between the building and water prohibits any large lot. There is a crazy deep pot hole and some odd cement obstacles, so night exits beware. Friday offered up a guitar player and a nice summer sunset. Attentive bar service. read more

Our waitress had no personality, the ambiance was very nice but I seen my food sitting in the kitchen under hot lamp and watch a girl vaping in the kitchen blowing her vape out over the food in the kitchen waiting to be delivered to people's tables. Which was very disrespectful when it's a smoke free place how gross to be like smoking vaping over the food in the kitchen waiting to be served to the customers. Not Ok Will not be back I can't even believe I seen someone even doing that she had reddish curly hair and was in shorts . read more

Cozy little place by the water. We visited in January so we were unable to get the full experience but I bet it would be great in the Summer. Lobster roll was meh, I prefer chucks over ground. The Birra tacos on the other hand were delicious. I very much enjoyed my ceasar salad and fries as well. Service was great! read more

Just an awesome place for outdoor seating alongside some water, definitely summer vibes! And plenty of indoor seating in the a/c too. My only negative is some of the drinks and cocktails were a little pricey. I had heard about all the different flights they offered and tried the Bloody Mary flight which was tasty but $24!! (That's ridiculous, expecting maybe $15) Happy to say the food was both tasty and reasonably priced. I got the shrimp tacos and they were delicious, with amazing range of flavors and the salsa was very good too. My dad got the perch sandwich and instead of expecting one sandwich he got 3 big sliders! So both food options were $14ish and came with a side. All in all I'd definitely recommend as a great spot and good food but watch the drink prices or the tab will get pricey. read more

This place looked cool from the pictures so we decided to go here for date night. I am going to get the BIG negative thing out of the way. The Parking Lot. This is by far one of the worst parking lots for a restaurant to have, it is very long and the width almost has 2 cars touching, it takes a lot to park in a space without hitting another car, they also have 2 HUGE concrete blocks in parking spaces they makes it even harder to park and the roadway of the parking lot is all torn up and potholes everywhere, if you do come here be aware of having a horrible parking experience. Ok so now that is out of the way, there was a lot of people here so I figured the food had to be great, we had a wait time of about 10-15 minutes which wasn't bad at all. We got seated by the water which was nice and it had a lot of nice views from our table. We first ordered drinks, I ordered the fishbowl and my wife ordered a Margarita. When we got our drinks, the fishbowl was in a plastic fishbowl that was all dented up and cracked and the wife ordered a Margarita that was so sour she couldn't even drink it, it was by far one of the worst margaritas I have ever tasted which sucks because they used Casamigos, a top notch Tequila. We also ordered food, we had the Brussel Sprouts and Poutine Fries as an appetizer, the Brussel Sprouts were really good and the Jalapeño slices were spicy which was awesome and the Poutine Fries were good, needed a little extra salt but other than that it was good. For our dinner I ordered the Birria Ramen and the wife ordered the Perch Dinner. Both meals were really good, the ramen noodles were cooked perfectly and sauce tasted amazing, it also came with a taco which I didn't eat cause I was way too full. I have to say the ambience of this place is nice and relaxing and our waiter was amazing, we had no complaints cause he was on the go and fast moving. The only issue we had was the parking lot and her margarita, other than that everything was great. Just don't order the margarita and ride a bike here and you will be fine. read more

The ambiance is very cute. Very well decorated for the holidays. We got three flights, mimosa, espresso and cookie. The espresso flight had the most bang for your buck. The cookie flight shows a cookie shot glass, that's not the case. Bang bang shrimp were very good. House salad is mediocre. Guacamole deviled eggs were missing a main component of chorizo. The veggie bowl was missing the portabella mushrooms. It's disappointing that the kitchen missed key components of their dishes. I'd say this is a drinks spot, not drinks and dinner. We enjoyed the drinks read more

The moment we walked in, the atmosphere was top notch, very chill vibes. When our food came, the flavor completely fills your mouth. Our waiter was friendly, on point, and seemed to actually enjoy her job. Would recommend this place for any social occasion! read more

We were looking for a place to have dinner after picking up a friend at the airport. And although the restaurant ends dining at 10 pm on this particular weeknight, Logan offered to allow us a slightly late dinner if this was our only hope for dining. We were delayed at baggage claim and couldn't make it at all but Logan's hospitality will bring us up from Toledo to try The Quarry in the future! Kudos to management for hiring excellent staff! read more

Beautiful view of the quarry. Service is fairly quick. I haven't had a bad choice of food items yet.

The view is beautiful here. I recommend sitting outside if you have the opportunity. Our server was super friendly and helpful in answering questions about my meal due to dietary restrictions. They did forget our appetizer first so we ended up eating it with our main meal. I recommend the chips trio. It comes with homemade chips, salsa, queso and guacamole. The salad i ordered was good but the price was a little steep for the price. My sister and her friend both got the salmon sliders and would recommend read more

Wow! Finally The Quarry in Monroe delivered The food & service matched the view! Everything was amazing from the time we sat down to the time we were done. We chose to sit on the patio. The breeze was perfect & kept us cool while sipping on yummy craft cocktails enjoying our chips & salsa appetizer. I chose to order the brussel sprouts & a bowl of lobster bisque- all made to perfection. He chose the chicken & waffles sandwiches & the poutine- so yummy I couldn't keep my fork out of it! The service was speedy & attentive- so refreshing due to the new ownership! It's nice to have this place in Monroe. It sure feels like you're on vacation while dining here! Give The Quarry a chance (or another.) You will be satisfied with the quality service, views, & eats it has to offer! read more

We waited for 30 minutes for our appetizers and then additional hour for our main course. We only received our main course after I decided to stand up and set a timer on my phone. Miraculously our food came out and it was freezing cold. My friend's broccoli was not even cooked. It was completely raw. My short ribs were like beef jerky on one side and gray on the other side floating in a gelatinous substance of some sort. When we tried addressing it with the hostess, we were immediately dismissed. Almost like we were bothering the wait staff. We squared up and paid our appetizers but refused to pay the food bill. I will never ever for the life of me go back to this restaurant again. If they serve food like this, somebody will definitely contract a food born illness. read more

The vibes are awesome! But the wait can be a bit long if you're going on the weekend. Drinks are amazing and food is good. All the staff is on the younger side tho, so give them some patience as they learn the ropes! read more

Waitress said salmon would not taste fishy. Salmon sliders tasted VERY FISHY. Was there 12/06/24.

Our waitress Emily was amazing. She made sure that we had everything that we needed. Loved being able to eat out near the water. The music wasn't too loud and the food was delicious, perfect for a Summer Saturday meal. Tried the chips and salsa flight and the lobster and Brie! Yum!! I had the prime rib sliders but definitely want to come back for the lobster rolls. My son loved his steak, cooked to perfection with mushrooms and onions on top. He loved the seasoning that they used on it. Highly recommend this place. read more

The lobster bisque was delicious as was the lobster dip. The lobster roll was good but a little too much mayo. My husband really enjoyed the Ruben sliders. They certainly don't skimp on the fries. Service was friendly and efficient. Loved looking out over the lake in the very clean restaurant. Looking forward to sitting out on the deck as the weather gets a bit warmer. This will be one of my favorite spots for the summer. read more

We *love* the Quarry! We first discovered the restaurant last summer and were excited to find a new place for family dinners. The lobster rolls were delicious. The lobster Brie dip was delicious. The ahi tuna nachos were delicious. Was this heaven?! The service was exceptional every time we visited, and the dining room is always clean and welcoming. And then, they changed the menu. We were apprehensive... and then the Feta dip arrived, just as delicious as the lobster and Brie! A guest had the birria ramen and loved it, the shrimp tacos are divine, and we are counting the days till the summer menu returns. read more

We were excited to come here but very disappointed. Our server was nice but there were a few wrong orders and our dinners didn't come at the same time. Food was inconsistent - two of our party ordered the same meal and they looked completely different. It was not a good night for the kitchen. read more

I would give 0 stars! The food was terrible the only good thing about this place is the view, terrible service and the waiter with blond hair and glasses sucks never will come back! read more

We decide to try this restaurant out this weekend. The atmosphere is really nice, inside and out. They have a complimentary boat ride when you dine there which is super cool, about a 20 minute ride around the quarry. The loss of a star was due to them being out of a few menu items (impossible burger and crab cakes). The side salads also came out warm. They have a lot of Vegetarian option also the impossible burgers vegan when in stock. My boyfriend had the jackfruit quesadilla and absolutely loved it. I had the smash burger, it had good flavors, it was kind of messy though. Everyone else enjoyed their meal and the atmosphere and will definitely be back! read more

Was in town from Ohio and found this while driving around to look for a spot to try that was not a chain and was very disappointed. Got the feta dip it was served with bread that was deep fried. The oil from there drier was bad there for made the bread taste horrible asked for something else they said they had pita and I asked for it. When it arrives the pita was fried as well with the same old fryer oil. The food cam out I got the short ribs they where dry and super salty. The mashed potatoes looked and tasted old as well.i sent mine back and didn't get anything else. My husband got the French dip sliders they were dry and cold as were the fries. I wanted to like this place cause it had potential. We will never go back. Good luck to them read more

The food was NOT that great given the ambience of the restaurant itself. Service was solid though.

Went there Saturday evening. Very busy and understaffed. Waited almost an hour to be seated, although they said the wait was only 15-30 minutes. Ordered Lobster Bisque for 3 of us. Two arrived cold, third was warm and spicy. They were two separate batches and not even close to the same! Overall, not a very good experience. Seems poorly managed and so-so food. Will not be going back. read more

I wish I could have given a better review. The menu was not the same as listed online. No vegan or vegetarian options. server said it was under new ownership. seems like a terrible idea to remove options that would invite more to enjoy this restaurant. Food was also prepared incredibly odd. we had truffle fries with garlic aioli and they put it on the fries like a dressing instead of on the side, way overdoing it and making half of it inedible. Staff was lovely but the uniforms looked like something you would see at a low end bar, could definitely be better across the board. I wouldn't bother. The price point doesn't match the quality or lack of rather of the experience or food. read more

Unfortunately, I was disappointed by the quality of the food, the length of time we waited for our food and the overall experience. The chips and salsa flight was just not good, the queso cheese was ice cold and there were less than a handful of bag tortilla chips on the plate . read more
