    Friday night all you can eat flounder!
    Theresa E.

    Good food and service but not a lot of healthy options. Typically southern, in that just about everything is thrown until the deep fat fryer. The green bean side was delicious and their fried flounder was some of the best I've had in a while. My partner said the steak sandwich was a good call. I've been told their breakfast is wonderful but I've not been there for it yet. It's clean and friendly and it's a 5 star when only considering restaurants in Monroe. A few healthier options for the few of us Westerners would be great because clearly the cook here CAN cook and healthy would probably taste good too!

    Shrimp and grits.

    We went to this little diner-like restaurant on the recommendation of a friend. We went on Memorial…read moreDay and there was about a fifteen minute wait for our party of two. First impression was good. The restaurant itself looked clean and family-oriented. It had a diner-like feel. We ordered breakfast. (Breakfast is served all day.) Our server was very pleasant, attentive and friendly. I ordered one chocolate chip pancake with strawberries and whipped cream, and a turkey sausage patty. My husband had an omelet with hash browns and a biscuit. Overall, we thought everything was very good. My husband said he prefers his hash browns more browned and crunchy; and that his biscuit could have been a little better, but he was still pleased with his meal. I have no complaints about my pancake and turkey sausage. The thing I liked most about this place was that there were many choices on the menu, and the prices were reasonable. Finally, a place you can enjoy that has good food, a nice atmosphere and won't cost you an arm and a leg. This is closest to a real diner that I've eaten at in a long time. As we waited for our food to come out (which didn't take long at all), we noticed other waitstaff delivering amazing-looking food to tables. Our mouths were watering!! We will definitely be back. A very enjoyable experience.

    We visited Stacks Kitchen while in NC and I'd describe it as a classic diner-style American…read morebreakfast spot, think somewhere in between Denny's, IHOP, and First Watch vibes. You get pretty much exactly what you'd expect: your typical breakfast platters, diner-style coffee, and delicious pancake stacks ;) It's not necessarily a daily go-to for me, but for visiting NC with a larger group, it's a solid option with something for everyone. One thing to know: it gets very busy. Get there early or come ready to wait ;)

    I came here on a Tuesday for lunch. The ambiance is that of an old lunch counter vibe--very simple…read moreand divey but clean. I ordered two hot dogs all the way to go. The service was prompt and efficient. From ordering to receiving the food the wait time was less than 10 mins. The hot dogs were solid overall. Nice flavor on the hot dog itself. Bun was nicely steamed. Slaw was good. Onions were fresh. My only complaint is that they were light handed on the chili and heavy handed on the onions, slaw and mustard which didn't create the most balanced flavor profile--overly vinegary and creamy without the savoriness of the chili. Which really makes the hot dog for me. Still a solid lunch choice and for $6.30 it's an unbeatable value.

    Walking around in downtown Monroe on a Friday afternoon and decided to grab a quick bite to eat…read more Ran across this cute sandwich shop and decided to check them out. Instantly transported through time as it looks like a 50s diner. I believe we walked in around 2:30pm and they were closing at 3 pm but a lot of other customers were walking in as well trying to get a last minute sandwich. Now, you can tell the workers working in the kitchen and behind the counter were younger kids because they were not very communicative or explained the menu well. We would ask a question and they would just reply with "yes" , "no" or look at us like if we should already know. Either way we ordered two sausage dogs and their Carolina BBQ dog. VERY DELICIOUS! A perfect little pick me up on a Friday afternoon. Their sandwiches looked delicious as well and if im ever in the area, I will def return and try other things on their menu. The owner was very friendly though and made sure everything tasted great! Lots of side street parking in the area. Oh and side note, they only accept cash.
