The first thing I have to say is bad service and even worse food. My friends and I went to get brunch and we walked in and it looked dirty and run down. We were waiting my the hostess table for over 10 minutes before we were told to order. Keep in mind the restaurant was half empty. This was my first time here and I already felt rushed. We asked if we could sit down and have time to look at the menus and the lady scoffed and said we can sit wherever and come back to order when we're ready. Therefore we grabbed a couple of menus and found a table. It was sticky and unsanitary. My friends and I figured out what we wanted to order and went back up to the hostess table. We order and then they had us pay and tip before we even got the food. We sat back down at our table and our food came. They got my order wrong and never came back around to check on us. I got a ruben sandwich with no sauerkraut. So we went up to the hostess table and asked if they can make me something else because my sandwich was wrong and disgusting. I then asked for the french toast which was two dollars cheaper then my original meal. They scoffed as we walked away. A few minutes later I went to the front to go fill up my drink and I overheard the kitchen staff complaining about having to remake the food that they messed up. When I did get my french toast my friends were already done eating and I was again underwhelmed with the food. Overall I had a bad experience, I will not be returning to this restaurant, and wouldn't recommend it to anyone. read more

The location is pretty easy to access and the service was fast and friendly. They are always a reliable fall back for the hungry and undecided. You have to love a place where ya can get your drinks and food ASAP. The food is very good considering the location and service. read more

Buzz Inn Steakhouse - Best steaks in Monroe?!? Only real steaks in Monroe.. - Steakhouses Near Me - Monroe, Washington

I've been here multiple times and have never had an issue. The food is always good, reasonably priced, and the staff have always been great. Until today. Honestly, I'm pretty offended- and I don't offend easily. I ordered my breakfast with a cup of coffee and asked for a bunch of cream and sugar because I like my coffee very light and very sweet. I've never had a problem with that before. The server gave me four cream and five sugar. I asked for more creamer and explained again that I like it very light. The sever literally said, "you need MORE?" (With an attitude), "wow! That's a lot of cream for just one cup of coffee". Then she proceeded to tell me she was just going to charge me for a milk and I could use that, instead of her giving me more cream. Seriously. Never had a problem before and I don't think I'm the only one who has ever asked for a lot of creamer. Not impressed and will not be back to this location. Condescending and rude, I'm not giving her my hard earned money again. Side note: she never bothered to check on our table, so I never got a refill on the coffee I needed the creamer for (or a box for more than half of my food), but my spouse did enjoy the glass of milk.) read more

Haven't been here since they finished the remodeling. Had an omelet and bacon wrap meatball appetizers. All I have to say is nicely done the omelet was perfect but the meatball appetizer was out of this world the bacon was ridiculously crispy not burnt a crunch with every bite I will be back. read more

I live within a half mile of the Buzz Inn and eat there at least once a week, on either 2 for 1 Burger night or on Sunday nights. The waitresses are always kind and remember my "usual" and bring me my beverage of choice as soon as I sit down. They always make you feel like you are an important customer, and I like that... I'll keep going to Buzz Inn... read more

Came in to eat dinner in our way home. Eating their clam chowder and bit down on something that stabbed my tongue and upper part of my mouth. Told waitress she grabs the object and goes idk what that is let me ask the chef (like seriously?!? Who cares i just got injured eating your food) comes back and says oh its a piece of clam with a shell attached to it, wow really?!? Doesnt even apologize to me and doesnt try to even make it right by compensation or anything. Definitely wont ever be going back there again. read more

This is my favorite breakfast place but today the bartender was rude, she was yelling at both the waitress and cook. For nothing they had done but the bartenders overwhelmed and she only had 7 customers. Sad won't go back on wed or thurs. read more

Breakfast was fantastic. Had the meatlovers 3 egg omelet and the wife had corned beef. Even the toast was great. Service was fantastic. Great job Buzz Inn. read more

Four of us went in for dinner at 3:50 pm. The dinner service starts at 4. The waitress was rude, obnoxious, unhelpful, and disrespectful when we asked to wait for the dinner service. She made it clear that we were not welcome, so we left. Will not return and will make sure to tell all of this ridiculous service. read more

I really like going here for happy hour. The staff is friendly and attentive. They always greet us with a smile, check to make sure we have everything we need, that we like our meal and that our glasses stay full. The staff seems more like family than coworkers and love laughing and joking with one another (and the guests). I have been here at least 4x and the service has been the same...wonderful. Also, I love their food! You get good portions and at great prices. If you're in the area..give them a try! read more

The food was okay and the service was excellent. our server was on it for sure. While the steak was good and the sides good as well I think a great server decides whether or not you have a good meal experience. No it's not fancy but you're going to get exactly what you order just don't expect the ambiance to go with it. read more

This is probably the best staple for food and drinks in town. Servers are always friendly, food (esp! breakfast) is consistently good, and appetizers are 1/2 price during Happy Hour. Coffee is always warm and plentiful, and if you have disposable income the bar is stacked with pull tabs. TVs are always on and they DO have Seahawks games - plus Sunday night $7.99 dinners. I'm not a big steak eater, but everytime I've had steak bites in never disappointed. read more

This Monroe-classic deserves huge amounts of credit. They have maintained a great atmosphere with great food (especially breakfast) for over a decade. Servers are always very sweet and helpful. Great prices and never any wait-timers. Would recommend. read more

My husband and I have gone here for breakfast lunch and dinner! They have had their moments of poor service, but what restaurant doesn't? They definitely have improved! We love coming here especially when our favorite waitress (Nikki) is working! She always greats us with a smile and has us laughing before we know it! She makes sure we are taken care of as long with the other gals and cooks and we will definitely keep coming back!!! Thank you buzz read more

If I could give this less than 1 star,I absolutely would. We have NEVER been treated so poorly and we never made it passed the ordering station. The 'waitress' was embarrassingly rude and treated us terribly. When I called to speak with the manager, I heard the waitress in the background giving her version of what happened which was a complete lie. It was a disgusting display of how to treat the public and our first visit will ABSOLUTELY be our last. If you can go anywhere else,do yourself a favor and go. read more

I have driven past this place a few times and the parking lot was always full, so I decided to try somewhere new for my birthday dinner. That was a mistake. I do not know why they are always so busy, because the food was disgusting, the booze sucked, and the staff was snotty. The food was cold. My jack on ice was all ice for a fat price... We won't be back... read more

Buzz Inn is a family friendly sports bar with pull tabs, wide screens featuring wrestling, Nascar, and NFL, friendly waitresses who remember your name (or if you're new, just call you Hun), and the best inexpensive steaks in town. Inexpensive yet tender and tasty steaks are the speciality of the house, but the burgers are equally popular. Breakfast is served all day (the ham steak is terrific). The daily specials are terrific bargains. There are several Buzz Inn's throughout Snohomish County, and I've found the quality consistently good. I'm particularly fond of the Monroe restaurant and the Snohomish restaurant at Harvey Field airport (which is an ideal $100 burger destination). Fancy it's not, but for excellent down home food in a comfortable environment, Buzz Inn is a bargain. read more

The food is about as good as Denny's. The service is worse than Denny's. If I owned the place I would fire the whole staff. The women in the bar are grumpy and poor at what they do. The one young one with the chest tattoos was more concerned with some dude to take our orders and the old one with the back tattoos was so rude that I felt like telling her to F off. Save yourself and try the bar next door. This place needs to close. read more

Favorite place for breakfast ! Chicken fried steak is the bomb. Get the bigfoot steak & split the whole breakfast with a friend. It is HUGE ! Great service, friendly, efficient. love this place read more

There was a long wait for food and the restaurant wasn't very busy. They had a sign that said Sunday dinner 50% but in very small print said 5pm-close I was mislead. Anyway I ended up getting the bacon wrapped shrimp because I thought it was 50% off my significant other got country fried steak dinner thinking the same thing. Of course after I paid I realized it wasn't 50 % off. We waited a bit to get our food. And found out they had our order number wrong mixesd with another table. We finally got that resolved and when we did and our food came out it was cold. We told the wait staff and they said they would make us a fresh one and when it came back out our stuff was microwaved. The piece of shrimp I had bit was still on the plate. And my significant others meal was cold on the bottom. They only had put fresh gravy on it. Never coming here again. The staff was pleasant, understood and nice. I'll give them that and they gave us our money back that's why I gave them a 2. For good service. read more

Burgers are the bomb! Juicy and tender! By far the best in Monroe! Definitely check it out!

One of my favorite steak places; a lot better then Sizzler(not that Sizzler isn't bad, it's just I would much rather eat here). Never been disappointed by their food before, and just wish there was one closer then Everett and Snohomish County. If anyone from Buzz Inn reads this by the way, please consider putting a location in Tacoma, or Lakewood, or Kent, or Federal Way, or Auburn, or Puyallup, or Olympia, or Lacey, basically anywhere South of Seattle would be great. read more

Meh. The buzzinn is not for me. The places are just weird and its food is greasy and makes me feel like crap. Kind of a place to eat when your really hung over! Would never go there because I wanted to! read more

Love this place! They always have excellent food and drinks! And the service is exceptional! I highly recommend it to anyone..

Been to many buzz Inn's and this fits the bill. Steak was OK... As was the country fried steak. Typical bar food... Expect just that. Salad was good though. Server friendly and responsive. read more

I am basing this rating strictly on their filling breakfast-special.... If you are in a rush to get back to the mountains to play in the Cascade Concrete, you can stop in here, be in and out within a few minutes, have your thick-bacon/eggs/hashbrowns and toast for under $3.00 IT IS NOT LIKE A DENNY's ....the breakfast here is actually GOOD. Also, if you want to have a V8/Vodka, they will fix you up proper w/ your "Breakfast Special"....good on Mon-Frid 6am-10am i think read more

I would have given it 4 stars but unfortunately the service was terrible. We were seated and then someone did not come back to check on us until about 20 minuets later and it was not very busy inside the restaurant. Don't expect anything special here, it's just a local steak joint that does the trick if you want a steak meal on the cheap. read more

Everything about this place is average. Pricing, amount and quality of food. Ambience. Service. It's exactly what I expect when i go to a place like this. Nothing more, nothing less. If you're too lazy to cook hash browns, eggs and some kind of breakfast meat like i am from time to time, this is the place to go. No complaints. read more

Ugh. I went here for lunch one day with a good friend who swears by their food --- but have to say, it was NOT good. Their menu is just plain boring. The only thing that appealed whatsoever was a salad, and the one I got was along the quality of what you might get at a fast food restaurant. Also the atmosphere reminds me of a truck stop. It's right across the highway from me, but I've never been back. read more

A little bit of an interesting place. When you walk in you order your food and drinks at counter, pay and you get a little pole with a number on it. When we found somewhere to sit, looking around it seems like the restaurant is unsure about its identity. Is it a restaurant? A bar? Or a mini casino? Other then that, food was good, Service was great, ordered and had our food within 20 mins. Got the waffles special with strawberries. I've heard the chicken fried steak is good too! Will most likely go back again! read more

I have been here twice for lunch with my parents. My dad loves the decor (tee-hee). The food and service is okay. It is a good place for quick and cheap eats. I shared a turkey club with fries with mom and dad had a salad. read more

We went there for dinner last night..The restruant was not particularly busy....Was left standing at the "Wait to be seated " area for 8 minuets while two female employees chatted not 10 feet from me behind the register... Finally the short ,older blond lady (wearing glasses and looking like a supervisor) looks up hands me a menu and says to go seat ourselves......After waiting another ten minuets in the main dining area while four different waitress'es came and went to other tables we just got up and left....We have been in Monroe now for 18 years....This was our third visit to The Buzz Inn,all were similarly disappointing and we have learned our lesson...Never again..... read more

This used to be a great place to eat and enjoy a meal. A current staff member, Vanessa is rude and treats customers like they all annoy her. Don't try to to order extra crispy hash browns, she will give you the death look [normally they are cold with the current cook] I won't be going back anytime soon, as she seems to work the pre noon shift....and this is the not the first time she has had this attitude. read more

Huge potions of delious food, Great friendly service with a smile. We were so pleased with our breakfast the first day we returned the next day for another wonderful meal. The waitress remembered us and our order! read more

Great food! Warm environment love it. But the waitresses and bar tenders are so rude to customers. Took 25mins for them to take my order, I noticed they're being racist towards the black people and nice to the rednecks. I understand its monroe but fuck.. have some manners, ticked me off royally. Girls there act so sly like.. I didnt notice them bending over the table trying to show sum boobs.. or when you krpt touching my fiances shoulder. Every waitress except one there, completely disgusted me. Not coming back until replacement staff. read more

As far as "American diner" goes...meh. The food wasn't anything I'd write home about and the service was slow. If they were busy, I'd be more understanding but when it's my table to 2 others....come on...my drink shouldn't get to the super empty level that requires me to make that super loud "straw sucking" noise to get noticed. :( read more

Worst dining experience in a decade! This is my family's favorite breakfast spot, so this weekend we decided to try them for dinner. BIGGEST MISTAKE EVER!!! To start, it took 35 minutes before our sever took our order once seated. My 5 year old was hungry so we asked for his waffle to be sent out at the same time as our appetizer. We waited and waited and waited. After an hour, we then noticed that we were the only original people still in the dining room. People who came after us placed their orders and received their food while we still sat there. Fifty minutes after ordering, our server appeared with some of our order and then delivered it to the wrong table. The people told her it wasn't theirs and she wondered around the dining room asking people if it was their order. She finally made it to us with our appetizer and entrees. My son's waffle was missing. The onion rings were ice cold, our steaks were cold, our baked potatoes were cold. After 15 minutes, she finally brought our sons waffle. We asked for our food to be fixed because it was cold. She took our plates. We then received our fixed plates. My sons waffle was so cold the butter wouldn't melt and it was soggy from the strawberries. My steak was no longer medium, but well done with a grainy texture. The fried shrimp was still cold. The butter and cheese wouldn't melt because the baked potato was the same temperature still. The onion rings were never fixed. We only ate a couple of bites of food. When our server finally came around she delivered our check. She never asked us how our food was or if we needed anything. When we went to pay, she checked us out and never apologized for the service or asked if we enjoyed our food. I would assume when customers don't hardly eat any of their food that would be a clue something is wrong! We were charged nearly $70 dollars for this dinner, which we didn't eat, and her service. She then stood there and stared us down while signing our receipt to see what her tip amount was! We left the Buzz Inn after being hungry for 2.5 hours and drove through Taco Bell and had a better experience. That is saying something! We won't be back. It's too bad because it was our favorite breakfast joint. read more

This place has been renovated recently. The old booths are mostly gone, some reupholstered. They've been replaced with some nice ranch-style table and chairs. A good-looking tile floor has been put down in large areas of the place. The walls are freshly painted and even new light fixtures are up. If you want steak, go to the Buzz Inn. If nobody in your group wants steak, don't go to the Buzz Inn. The steaks are good and they are not afraid to serve them medium rare like some places nowadays. After 4, there are baked potatoes. They have salads, and the one I had yesterday actually had a piece of oak leaf lettuce in it! So they are working to have better salads, but mainly as an accompaniment to the steak. They also have good daily specials if you have a family to feed (Tuesday - get a free burger if you buy another plus two beverages; each day has its own special). Prime rib is also available in the evening. The breakfasts are also good. Steak and eggs anyone? How about Chicken Fried Steak with country gravy and eggs? Their breakfast special is eggs, toast and hashbrowns for 2.99, available until 10am. Go ahead and wear your workboots or motorcycle leathers -- you'll fit right in. But it's not the kind of good old boy place you feel unwelcome in. This is not a fancy place, and you can indulge your desire to play pull tabs and try to win merchandise which is displayed in the restaurant. They have a full bar area. As noted, when you go in, go to the counter near the back to order, pay and get your number. Then go sit down and they'll bring it to you. You can leave at tip at the beginning on your card, or in cash on the table. I almost always have good service there, and if you have a problem with your steak they'll remake it for you. Anyone for a 12oz. top? read more

My son asked me where I wanted to go for dinner on mother's day. I chose this place because I haven't eaten here in over a year and wanted to see if it was still good. It is. We arrived at the tail end of the dinner crowd. Our server was pleasant. I was skeptical of the $5.99 Sunday dinner special; beef roast or pork roast with mashed potatoes, stuffing vegetable & roll. I ordered a steak while son ordered pork roast special. The special is an awesome deal! I would have to say the best dinner deal in town! My steak was cooked exactly how I asked and delicious. I'm interested in trying prime rib (my favorite meat) here. I would come here again, and not wait so long between visits. read more

Good food not so good in service. Nikki did not seem to interested in our table. There were 2 waitresses and 3 tables. Never checked on us I had to go find her for drinks. She gave us the bill and didn't even ask if we wanted a box or even a thank you. read more
