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

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

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

The shrimp appetizer is my go to order here. New owners are doing a good job of shedding the old reputation. Great patio for a drink.

Food, service, ambiance were all great. Nice spot for out of staters to get a delicious grub to eat. Gabrielle and everyone there were so friendly to us. One server kept happy and helpful to the over demanding table beside us. Good vibes. read more

Ambiance was nice, great setup, on the Easter, live music. However, the service and the food was not so great. Took awhile for someone to even come to the hostess station, although there were plenty of open table, after being seated had to ask had to wait for a waitress and had to flag down to finally make out order. Food came out but we hadn't received napkins or silverware l, requested but still didn't get, food came out, still no silverware, asked again. Finally got silverware, but the food was just ok, extremely small serving size, especially for the price. The shrimp tacos a only had one shrimp per taco and my steak didn't look close to the 10oz they claimed and my house salad came in what appeared to be a tea cup, ordered onions and mushrooms for my steak but didn't get.. Outdoor seating was very uncomfortable. My legs were numb. Place has the potential to be great but came up very short. Unlikely to return. read more

The Quarry - Steak and salad - Seafood Near Me - Monroe, Michigan

This place is a good place to eat. Can be seated outside and enjoy live music with a meal. They also offer complementary pontoon boat rides on the Quarry. Service was quick and friendly. Our food came out as ordered. Well worth coming back too. read more

The food and service were great here! I loved the atmosphere at this place! Plus it was a last second resort for Valentine's Day and we got in no problem! read more

This was our second attempt and I've decided the best thing about The Quarry is that it's only a good place to get a nice picture of my sweet wife with water in the background. As far as the food is concerned forget it! We stopped there today for a quick lunch and a chance to try the place again. The first time we tried was a few years ago soon after it opened. We left there disappointed by a seedy crowd it seemed to attract. This time we left disappointed by the menu and the quality of the food. I was looking for a fish sandwich, something that shouldn't be too high of an expectation from a restaurant that features a lakeside dining experience and only a couple of miles from Lake Erie where there's an abundance of perch and walleye. Not one fish sandwich of any kind on the menu except fish tacos! So I opted for a pork bbq sandwich but the waitress messed that up by not changing my cheese choice to pepper jack. And the chef needs to add a lot more bbq sauce to make it a bbq sandwich. Rather than a new sandwich with melted pepper jack cheese my waitress did hand me a slice of just-out-of-the-fridge slice of jack that I ended up nibbling on as a snack. Then there was the sandwich bun selection they offer with their sandwiches. They are horrible and both of our sandwiches quickly fell apart once they reached our table. One positive....my wife's pot roast beef sandwich had nice flavor. But yet another disappointment: tater tots as a side to our sandwiches! Come on, guys! We're paying close to $15 for each sandwich. Do you honestly think your guests are going to enjoy store bought greasy honest-to-goodness real out-of-freezer "tater tots" like my my mom served 50 years ago??? I figured for sure the "tater tot" mention on the menu was just a play on words for some real life freshly peeled potatoes of some kind! No way! Turned out to be just what I didn't want...greasy not-really-potato taters! By the time we added gratuity we ended up spending about $40. Shame on us!! By the way it's two strikes and you're out at our game! There won't be a third try from us! read more

Beautiful restaurant & waterfront location with deck & patio seating. The food doesn't match the atmosphere. They only have sliders, apps & sides. The service could be improved. Great place for having drinks with friends. I can't say that I recommend the food though. read more

Well I have heard both positive and negative reviews so decided to try it out with a friend. My friend got the barbecue chicken salad and they said it was overpowered by the barbecue sauce to the point they could only eat a little. I got a medium burger it was nothing to write home about. I also got a side of coleslaw for 3.00, tiny bowl, it was super dry and no taste. For my burger, slaw and a beer it was 25.00. I might go back in the summer because it is a beautiful place and sit outside by the quarry for maybe a beer with friends. read more

First time customers. Went today with a friend. We ordered the feta dip. When we received we noticed immediately that the crostini bread served with it was completely full of oil. We asked the server how they were cooked and she said deep fried. So we asked for bread not deep fried please. When we received our checks she charged us extra for bread even though we didn't eat the oil soaked bread and clearly asked for substitute for it. This place has potential for sure. It's cute and the food wasn't absolutely terrible but little things like that made it not the best. my friend and I both used to work in the restaurant industry so we are not hard on servers and still tipped her 20% and would have tipped more. but to charge us extra because we weren't happy with the oil soaked bread that you could clearly see is unnecessary and rubbed me wrong considering we asked for a reason. However, would go POSSIBLY again but most likely just for drinks and honestly just because it has a decent patio and scenery otherwise would not waste my money. It's upsetting because I had high hopes. It's suck a cute location read more

One of the better options to eat locally just watch out we got dinner per usual here back before the menu swap and received moldy slider buns. They remade the order but no compensation for the inconvenience... desert would have been nice or offers a remake of a different item because after mold on my buns how can I ensure the next batch was fine. read more

I saw the 3 star rating but decided to give it a try anyway. That was an unfortunate and costly mistake. Super disappointed. Had a pickup order. Was ignored for several minutes once I arrived. The bartender was nice but busy so i was not prioritized. I just needed to pay but couldn't get someone to take my payment. Now onto the food. I ordered the strawberry salad with chicken. They barely gave me any lettuce and the lettuce that was in there was wilted. There were 4 little slices of strawberry. Like they cut up 1 strawberry and spread it around. The chicken was dry and flavorless. My mom had the lobster roll sliders. Food was cold/room temperature at best. Had no flavor. We spent almost $60 for 3 meals and will NEVER be going back there again. Pass on this place. read more

The view is gorgeous. The food was okay, I expected better for the prices. Service could have been better for sure

Now you talking about a good place to go and eat and take a nice boat ride after you get finished eating that is the place to go so check them out any time you're in town really good place to eat The Quarry!!!! read more

found this place online wanted to go check them the view was amazing ambiance was nice waitress was a huge help, we sat by the water waited an hour for our food just for it to come out cold not even warm very disappointed it was something for Mother's Day the manager took care of the whole bill for us as we were told it would be another hour wait again for food so we didn't get a chance to eat would of loved to though but it's very unfortunate we had to go somewhere else! read more

Food is fabulous. But they don't take reservations seriously. We reserved a table for 15. They put us outside on one of the hottest days WITHOUT TELLING US WHEN WE BOOKED THAT THE INSIDE SEATING WAS RESERVED FOR A PRIVATE PARTY!! Out of the 15 seats, 3 had a little shade. Everyone else was in the scorching sun!! Needless to say, we went elsewhere. read more

We have been wanting to try the Quarry for some time now. The idea of dining outside on the water was very alluring. The temperature was a lot cooler than the 90's it has been lately, so we decided it was time. We arrived around six pm and where greater by a hosted who seemed a little reluctant to seat us outside. The interior of the bar is really cute. Way nicer than the website would have you believe. We tried the shrimp tacos. They where the tastiest thing we had and also the smallest, $12 for 3 tiny tacos. We tried the perch dinner and the jerk chicken. The perch was ok and the portion size was good, slightly bland coating. The jerk chicken was good but didn't taste like jerk not spicy at all. read more

Our second time here, terrible service. We arrived at. 515pm and had to ask for service at 529pm, we watched 4 tables get seated next to us with drinks already. Staff seemed annoyed, especially our server ( I don't even know her know, because she never introduced herself). Half of our food arrives, and I found a piece of hair in my lobster and Bri dip. So disappointed, because the 1st bite was so good. I lost my appetite, and happy they at least took off my meal. Will not be back or recommend. read more

Good average bar fare. Very loud inside, no consideration about acoustics. Not what I consider ambiance designed to make one wish to return. read more

Excellent food and very clean. Stuffed Portabella mushroom was the best ever. The pontoon ride was a bonus. read more

My husband and I have lived in Monroe for years and never made it out to try The Quarry until tonight and our server, I believe her name was Presley, was amazing. She checked in with us several times, but not to the point where it was annoying, she was up front with us about wait times, she had a smile on her face the entire night even though it was really hectic, and overall, she made out experience. The food was great, but good service really bumps a restaurant up and she was great. She even checked in with us after her obligation as our server was met and our bill was paid while we were just checking out the views outside. Best server I have ever had! read more

Front of the house works a lot to mask what happens in the kitchen. I don't know if it's the ticketing system or whatever. But I've been served a cold faux chicken sandwich (it's not really chicken, so just make it hot), also fish tacos that came at about 45 minutes after ordering. Some of your people are doing well, others may be overworked or something. read more

FOOD WAS COLD AND CUSTOMER SERVICE BY OWNER WAS HORRIBLE; We waited hours for our food for 5 people. Only four plates came out and our food was cold. Our friend NEVER got her meal until after we complained and THAT took another hour. "The Manager" said she couldn't force the cooks to cook and aren't allowed in the kitchen. We just got our drinks one each and our friend who NEVER got her food was forced to pay for her drink. This was the worst customer service we have EVER experienced. read more

We wanted to really like this restaurant- location - view - menu offerings - but sadly, the management needs some help. Our first visit was good with a fabulous waitress too! We were a large group of 12 that kept growing and we were accommodated appreciatively on the patio. Our cocktails were well made. We were attended to well. The food came out together, lovely presentation, generous portions and piping hot. This was on a Tuesday night. Our waitress had no problem with the many separate checks and she was tipped well by all. We came back Friday night and brought some others with us for a total of 5 this time. Instead of the deck, we opted for an umbrella table closer to the water. This time our waitress did not seem well-trained or versed in customer service. Our drinks came out slowly and we were never offered refills or an opportunity to order another round. Our food took over an hour to arrive and only 4 plates were brought out. The waitress asked if we needed anything else and of course, we said -yes - the fifth plate. She acted surprised said she would check on it. Fifteen minutes later, we flagged her down and again, she seemed surprised but also like she hadn't heard this request before. Again, she said she would check. When reminded of the amount of time that's passed and that we had not been given any update, she retorted - I can't make the chef's cook your food! What!?!?! So we ask for the manager. 10 minutes later, we flagged down a different waitress and again asked for the manager. The woman who came out as the manager was not kind, receptive or understanding. She was confrontational. She said we wouldn't pay for the fifth dinner but it would be 12-13 minutes to cook it and - Did we still want it!? By now everyone has finished their dinners and drinks. No offers for additional drinks or to order desserts. Our friend says yes she still needs to eat so please make her dinner. ... it eventually came out after another 20 minutes. The manager was despicable to us as if it was our fault and insisted our friend pay for her one drink! The night ended very poorly. Also, our first four dinners came out room temperature to cold! The extremely awful customer service by the waitress, the manager AND the owner assured that we will not return, nor can we recommend this restaurant to anyone else. Sad. read more

I feel like this place is a hidden gem. Getting to have dinner outside on a beautiful Saturday night overlooking the water where there were some really talented musicians providing live entertainment is almost perfect. The only thing that would have made it better is if there were some healthier options on the menu for the vegan/vegetarian club. They had a few, don't get me wrong. Highly recommend the fried green tomatoes (ignore my unhealthy choice) because dang they were good. And the fact that there was a pontoon boat available for rides around the quarry (for a donation) really felt like I was on vacation. After our boat ride, we sat in the cool swings around a fire pit and listened to the music. Realized corn hole would have been an option but didn't see it until we were leaving. Thanks for the fun night! read more

It's just sliders bar food extremely expensive for what you got. The whole table except for me got there food timely . Another server gave my food to another table on father's day. The waitress didn't really give to shits twenty minutes later I got my perch sliders . Six of us 150 dollars later for sliders. The view is nice. My advice is to go somewhere else . The two stars are for the views not the plastic cups and paper plates. read more

Spectacular, just what Monroe needed. Such a cool set up on Lake Monroe with plenty of outdoor seating. Great food, great service, reasonable prices. Need I say more! read more

Three of us sat outside overlooking the water one Sunday summer afternoon. The food was fabulous. If there was any disappointment it was that our late arrival meant the crab cake was sold out. Wait staff was friendly, and everything about the place was pleasant. read more

Great food! Great service! My family and I can't wait to come back! The loaded tots are to die for!

Found this lovely gem from my cousin. Great food ... excellent drinks ... amazing views ....eat local farm to table food . The staff makes you feel like your at home Stop by and check this place out... read more

I'll keep it short and sweet. They have 3 owners here and apparently they're trying to stay afloat because if you order a double margarita, you will pay double price. The extra shot will cost you another drink on top of your original drink. The food is great however do not buy alcohol here. You will be completely ripped off. read more

Best place around Monroe , MI if you ask me My son and daughter-in-law and grandson came down from Dexter to take dear old Mom out for a lunch right before Christmas and they decided we should try out the Quarry Food was awesome service was great and the place was awesome for sure and I sure hope we come back in the summer time to enjoy being outside looking out at the water I will turn 70 in April so I already told the kids they could come back and take Mom here as my birthday does fall on a Saturday the 23 th Keep up the great work Nancy G. read more

Very disappointed with our visit. Was hoping to be able to write something better. Menu was very limited. The food was OK but some was sent out ice cold (that should have been warm). Service was ok but very slow however that is not uncommon anywhere lately so not going to hold that against them. The bill was outrageous for the quality of food we had.I dont mind paying well for good food but this was not the case here. read more

Chicken was cooked medium and very juicy and not over cooked. It also was nicely seasoned and not bland. Being from New Orleans, I like foods that are well seasoned. read more

I'm not sure where to start. My in laws (80 yr olds) were returning home after a months stay and this was our final time seeing them. We were all very excited (nine of us) because we came here when it was Bedrock and the place looked like it was going to be even better, menu included. Wrong. I started out with a strawberry mule ($10 btw) and it was mostly ginger beer. After ordering the brussel sprouts as an appetizer (best thing all of us ate) this thrash band starts playing! Are you kidding? A nice relaxing place on the water just turned into a grunge concert! It was so loud we couldn't even talk to each other. On top of it, the band sucked. I mean sucked. After about 50 minutes or so, the waitress comes out and tells my MIL that they had no more Portobello mushrooms for her meal and would she like something else. Irritated and not very hungry after the appetizers, she orders the chicken TENDERS from the kids menu. Our meals all come out and hers are literally the frozen dinosaur chicken NUGGETS. I had the Honey Balsamic Thai Chicken, mediocre at best. To the chef, I do not recommend throwing a slice of cheese on top of anything but a hamburger, it just looks bad. Use shredded. Not to mention, this was a supposed gourmet meal for $18 and it was not even close to worth it. Every single person in our party said they were disappointed and will not likely be back. Unfortunate, Bedrock was fantastic. Oh, one last thing, they really need to proofread their menu, several misspellings! read more
