We wanted to go a little closer to home and found a Stinkin Crawfish here in Whittier. I was concerned because it was almost closing time (I forgot to check!) But Derick was VERY gracious and welcomed us in no problem! The restaurant looked very lively with the games on their big screen tvs. The food tasted great, Derick took care of me and my family and we had a great time! Can't wait to go back again!

Just the crawfish was 3/5, all other items 5/5! I always get garlic butter and "hot" sauce on the side. Everyone gets to enjoy the food and spicy eaters get to dip the seafood in the hot sauce!

I came here the other day and liked that they offer both indoor and outdoor seating. They also have…read morea few TVs inside if you want to catch a game while you eat. The menu has a good variety of food and drinks, so there are plenty of options to choose from. Unfortunately, I wasn't too impressed with the food. It felt like it was missing something. I tried adding lemon, their house sauces, and hot sauce, but the fish and calamari still tasted pretty bland. I ordered the fish tacos and the fried calamari strips, and neither had much flavor. The portions were also on the smaller side, so I didn't feel like the price matched the amount or quality of the food. I'd have to give it a 6/10 at best. The staff was very friendly and attentive despite the food.

We walked in before the rest of the group arrived and asked if they could accommodate us all in about 30 minutes. They set up the table for us and were ready when we staggered in. Chips and salsa were served and tasted wonderful. I had the carne asada quesadilla which was absolutely delicious! Everyone loved their food choices and seemed happy with the choice of restaurant to go to. The inside is decorated beautifully and relaxing. Even a cute patio outside too but it was so hot outside I'm glad they accommodated us indoors. Parking lot is small so good luck. Service was spectacular! If I'm in the area again I'll definitely visit again!

Writing this review while seated in the restaurant waiting for our food on Mother's Day. We had a…read morereservation set for 11 for six people. When we arrived, the hostess notified us that they were accepting walk ups and reservations didn't matter. We waited over an hour to be seated. Initially, they sat us separately at two booths. This is unacceptable on Mother's Day when we were trying to celebrate our Grandmother. Thankfully, our waiter was able to clear a spot on the patio. Following being seated, the waiter did not come. I got up and asked if they could come to our table because we have two diabetic family members. The host I spoke with said he would send someone, but there was some attitude. Our waiter came and was kind, but the whole experience has been awful. We waited over an hour and twenty five minutes after being seated for our food to arrive, and they didn't bring it all out at once. My pancakes ended up having a hair in them and had to be sent back. We have since asked for a manager to come to the table 2x, and they have not come. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. It has ruined our last Mother's Day with our grandmother before she moves away later this year. Over two hours wasted total waiting to be seated and for our food to arrive.

The Monk has officially become our Sunday date-night spot!…read more I'll be honest, I never really visited when they were located on Greenleaf because I hadn't moved to Uptown yet. Now that they're right across the street from us on Philadelphia, we've made it our mission to try everything on the menu and claim it as our neighborhood date-night spot. The first dish that completely won us over was the mac and cheese. This is not your average mac and cheese. I'm convinced they mix some of their beer cheese into it, and honestly, I ain't mad at it! Their happy hour menu is great too. We usually order the wedge salad, mac and cheese, pretzel, and onion rings. So far, the food has never disappointed us. But our favorite part of The Monk is Ruben. Ruben is truly the heart of this place. He welcomes us as if we're eating in his own home, our drinks never get low, and he always has the best recommendations. That kind of service is what turns a good restaurant into *your spot.* My only suggestion would be to add something out front that makes it more obvious they're open. There isn't a ton of foot traffic on Philadelphia, and the tinted windows make it easy to accidentally walk right past. I love this place so much that I would gladly help with any marketing that gets more people through the door! 10/10. Give The Monk a try, and I promise it just might become your new go-to spot too!

Dear Monk, we need to break up, unfortunately I'm not used to being ignored…read more... I was there a few weeks back on a lazy Monday, not a lot of people dining. One server greeted me and told me "I'll be with you" 3 different times, he kept going back to the bar, print a receipt, look at it, go to a table, return to the bar, print a receipt... I was seating at the bar and I would've waited, had he served me a beer. I just walked out, I understand that sometimes people get flustered or slammed (it wasn't that busy but maybe he fell behind from earlier). But today I walked in, sat at a table, server took my order for a burger and a beer. Went back to the bar, then picked plates from a table, went back to the bar, took a pitcher to a table, went back to the bar, went to speak to the kitchen, returned to the bar.... Another server was posing or trying to look pretty in the bar and even though he looked at me several times, never bother to help. So I sat there like... And waited.... And waited.... I'm not expecting the burger to come out quick, but a beer? Couldn't they pour a beer, drop it and go back to chatting? So, it was nice meeting you, wish you the best and I hope you find what your looking for, because it seems that what you're looking for is not customers......

Hands down one of the best places to dine. The moment you walk in, it's inviting and busy. The…read morestaff is excellent! They walk around and refill your coffee, which is some of the best. Now the thing to order here is the country fried steak, eggs, and potatoes with biscuits and gravy. Still amazing and my personal favorite. Highly recommend sitting at the counter. Wait times are hit or miss, but I will say that there is a homegoods directly across the way. Do with that information what you will. There is plenty of parking. Portions are big and the price is reasonable. It's one of the best family brunch spots that has something for everyone. Highly recommend! Definitely will be back soon!

The chilaquiles are literally chips w their sauce on top. Nothing to remember on the sauce. The burrito was ok. The bacon was good too, but other than that...a big let down...not sure what the big hype is. I will have to give them a second chance.

You can tell the chef is preparing each dish individually by the way that it tastes. It's a favorite go to for me for a social lunch. It invites quality time and conversation. My friends and I stayed more than 3 hours chatting and not once were we met with hostility. A big plus in my book!

Yooooooooooooooooo! I had NEVER heard of this place before, but my family ended up coming here…read moreafter my uncle's funeral, and honestly, what a great find! We were specifically looking for somewhere with a great price, good food, and a private room where our family could sit together and spend some time after the service. This place checked all the boxes! The Pollo Al Limone was easily one of my favorites. It's chicken breast with capers, shallots, and a lemon sauce, and the chicken was cooked PERFECTLY--tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The lemon sauce had that perfect balance of tanginess without overpowering the chicken, and the capers added a nice little salty kick. Definitely a dish I'd order again. The Tortellini Di Ricotta E Spinaci Alla Panna was another favorite at the table. The tortellini was filled with ricotta cheese and paired with mushrooms, spinach, and a creamy sauce. Super comforting and rich without being too heavy, and the combination of the mushrooms and spinach worked really well with the cream sauce. This was one of those dishes where everyone kept taking "just one more bite." We also tried the Rigatoni Bolognese, which came with rigatoni and a meat sauce. The only thing I noticed was that there weren't any protein in the dish. It wasn't necessarily a bad thing, just something worth mentioning. The service was honestly amazing. Everyone we interacted with was friendly, attentive, and accommodating, which made a big difference considering we were there with a large family after a funeral. The staff made us feel comfortable and never rushed us, and the private room was a HUGE plus for our group. The restrooms were also clean, which is always something I pay attention to when reviewing a restaurant. As far as the ambiance goes, the private room itself was pretty simple--there wasn't really any music or entertainment playing--but honestly, that worked perfectly for our situation. We were able to sit together, talk, laugh, reminisce, and spend time with each other without having to compete with loud music or a crowded dining room. We basically set the tone ourselves. Overall, I'm really glad my family discovered this place. What started as a restaurant we chose because of the private room and reasonable pricing turned into a surprisingly great meal with some really delicious dishes. The Pollo Al Limone and Tortellini were definitely the standouts for me, and the friendly service made the entire experience even better. Definitely a place I'd consider coming back to, especially for a family gathering or special occasion where having a private space is important. Sometimes the best restaurant discoveries are the ones you never even knew existed!

I was in the mood for tacos or Mexican food and had seen this place on TikTok. My niece and nephew,…read morewho live in Whittier, highly recommended that I give this spot a try--and I'm so glad I did! I highly recommend getting the tacos at Papa. They were delicious and packed with flavor! The fresh veggies they put on top were so good, and you could really taste all the flavors in the red salsa they add. It wasn't spicy at all--just full of flavor. I also got a sope de asada, and it was absolutely delicious. The masa was nice and crunchy, not soggy like at many other places. My niece got the Wet Burrito and ate the whole thing! She said it really hit the spot. We also had an Agua de Piña and a Horchata, both of which were great. If you're in Whittier, you definitely need to give this place a try! The service was friendly and fast, and there's plenty of outdoor seating with a few tables inside. Definitely recommend!

The service is mid. They have their good days and bad days, but most of the time they seem like they do not want to be there and you are bothering them. That is usually why we just get it to go or order through DoorDash. Other than that, the food is solid. It is a little pricey, but still good.
