Great spot for groups or families! Plenty of seating. We celebrated our grandfather's birthday here and they give a free pie slice for birthdays. The pizza was great quality! A little light on the sauce compared to what I usually like. A large pizza was plenty for 4 of us. Servers were super friendly and took great care of us! read more

We have always loved jenos and I totally understand new ownership takes a while. Our food was cold, not cooked in the middle, no manicotti noodles and they charge 50 cents for to go boxes and forgot our pie. I would have stuffed more food in my box then be surprised when i get the check. Also a high surcharge for using a card. read more

I don't know what is going on recently, but your food quality and/or ingredients used have changed a lot and not been the restaurant I've been going to for well over a decade+. You're an Italian restaurant and have been out of Italian dressing twice now, it's kind of an oxymoron... Whatever changes and new people you have, need to get it together. Because this has been mine and my families favorite restaurant for so long, but not so much anymore. When someone can't get a salad with Italian dressing from an Italian restaurant, there's something wrong. Or order a pizza they've ordered for over 10 years, but it's not even cut properly (in restaurant or pick up), the sauces on stuff has changed, etc, etc. This is supposed to be a family owned and high quality restaurant, but it's not anymore. Regardless of changes, things should be up to par. Very disappointing, to say the least. I know plenty of family owned businesses with deaths and lots of "newbies" and changes, and it's not like this. It's just sad all around... read more

We love the music & the food. We recommend for dinner or for a night in the lounge. The service was great, too. read more

We waited a long time for our food. When we got it, it was bad. My lasagna was so bad I didn't bother taking the leftovers home. (The garlic bread was good, though.) My wife's gluten free pizza was burnt on the edges and had low quality cheese. The servers did their best, though. read more

Ordered a couple grinders to-go. Clubhouse and a turkey bacon. It had the potential to be very good. They didn't have any condiments. For me, I gotta have some mayo on my sammy. Otherwise, it was good. Friendly service. Lots of seating. Street parking. I would like to come back to try other things on their menu so that I can hopefully give them an extra star next time. read more

Jeno's Restaurant & Italian - Clubhouse no tomato. Great. However, it needed some mayo. - Italian Near Me - Monroe, Washington

Jeno's is a good Italian restaurant for Monroe. We enjoy the pizza (Jeno's Special) and the baked pastas.

This place is certainly getting better. All the time. The food is great. Pizza is great.. I just wish they would make the Geek spaghetti!!! Put it on the menu or make it a special item ... Love their sandwiches.. And you can't beat breakfast read more

Denver omelet was great! Very cool, laid back atmosphere and excellent service, coffee was always refilled.

I love all their food. ( menu. Pizza, all of jenos pasta dishes are fantastic. Their portions are hugb enough to take home and enjoy. I have been going there for years and will keep going back. They have been in business for 52 years. So they are doing something right. Jenos is the best testurant in town. They also have a cute cozy bar to relax in.go there you will love it. t read more

Hot ham and cheese sub was outstanding. Forgot how large they are and took the other half home for later. Service was fast and the waitress was friendly. Love Jenos! read more

If you're hungry and looking for a less expensive sit down restaurant, this place fits the bill. The food was not fancy or especially flavourful, but it was ok. Prices were good, and the service was decent. Overall ambiance was reminiscent of a different time, which was fun. We didn't try the lounge in the back, but it looked like it could be a very fun, vintage place to have a drink. read more

I've tried this place a couple of times and I can't bring myself to like it. The prices are cheap, the food is bland and the quality of food is mediocre at best. There are fake plants covered in dust and cobwebs. I witnessed a waitress lift the cheese on a customer's burger with her bare hands, bring it to the customer, and then go back to counting cash. Not once did she wash her hands. This place needs a makeover and thorough deep clean read more

Pizza is really really good, crust isn't too thick. Great pasta, especially the Greek Spaghetti on the days it's available. Live music at the bar some nights and the staff and the owners are very nice. read more

Kim was great at service. The food was amazing and the prices were right. Can't wait to go back!

Large pizza for $18.99?! Hot right out of the oven... not greasy and crunchy pizza crust and stringy mozzarella. We were super hungry and shared a pizza and still had lots to take home. When they get short staffed with only one waitress on tonight on Thursday, they had to forgo picking up the phone. I don't blame them. They are fast on pizza take outs so even if you have to come in person to order and wait it's not the end of the world. Check out the size of their hot grinders! The club sub with turkey, ham, crispy bacon is the best! $2 if you add fries. For times of inflation, this place is super affordable for dining out! Just love the throwback feel. Late 80's 90's. Enjoyed listening to a nirvana song while chomping on my pizza... Easy street parking and there's overflow parking on back of building. Cash and check only. read more

They have really f$ckin' good pasta! The entire restaurant is super comfy, always greeting you with warm welcomes and top-notch service. If you're a sucker for Italian cuisine, Jeno's is a must. Highly recommend! read more

I took a chance and was nicely rewarded. I got there minutes before the lunch busyness. I got great service and excellent food at a very reasonable price. The lasagna with meatballs was wonderful. I just wish that the pasta dishes came with a side salad too. The included garlic bread was very good. The dining room could use a little more dusting especially near the windows. read more

Bartender left our debit card and recipe at an unattended table while I was in the restroom- came back to a receipt but no card! Got a notification that someone tried to use it but obviously they didn't have the pin.... Seriously though, why on earth would just leave someone's card on a table and not personally hand it back to them? So pissed! read more

Hmm. This place isn't bad, but... Think of a 1970s era Pizza Hut. Now, make it family owned. Keep the decor. Keep the overly cheesy food (with a nice red sauce made in house). Add some American food items to the menu. Americanize a few of the Italian pasta dishes with some oven cooked ribs (that taste like pork roast). Make sure this (plus all the excess cheese) makes the pasta dishes overly greasy. Ensure many of the menu items are not made in house. Instead, unpack them from the freezer bag, put in dish, pour over some in-house made red sauce, cover with some (excess amounts of) cheese, cook. MANY of the items on the menu follow this pattern. Italian restaurants should have all in-house made dishes--not pre-made dishes. Make a big pizza menu, and make the crust in house. It's that hard bread crust that's neither thin nor thick. Just like a 1970s Pizza Hut. Accept only cash (in 2019!!!!). Have a very funky (but fun) space that's part Pizza Parlor, part speak easy/1970s lounge, and part scary looking long hallway. Have 1970s orange colors everywhere. So, I think we'll pass in the future. read more

The lasagna is amazing love love love! It tastes the same every time so you won't be disappointed.

Satisfaction every time! There's something for everyone in the family, my husband's favorite is lasagna, I love the baked spaghetti with sausage, my sons love their sandwich dips and my girls can't get enough of the pizzas. Seriously amazing pizzas, pastas and sandwiches. We also love the table side gracious servers. read more

What a great throwback this place is. When you walk in, you're pretty sure it must still be 1967, because that's the last time it was re-decorated. But this is not a bad thing. The only thing this restaurant focuses on is the food. It's not fancy, but it's hearty and well done. They have great pies and their pizza is a local favorite. Here's a pro tip though, it's cash only! This family run business hasn't evolved with the times in any possible way, except to add an ATM machine inside so you can access your cash if you forgot to bring some. If you're in Monroe, stop by for breakfast lunch or dinner, and try out the bar in the back just for some fun. read more

This place has lost any class that it had, ever since one of the owners past away we won't ever go back there. The tacky parties in the bar, the diminished quality of food and they don't keep the same values the owner once held....they frequently change out wait staff and the one thing we used to get there ( grinders ) last stop didn't even have cheese on them and we had to ask for mayo which we never did before. One visit the waitress openly admitted the Luke warm soup we had had been pulled from the fridge and dumped from the soup pot into a cold crock pot and when we requested it to go back she rolled her eyes and sighed as she returned the soup to the kitchen but changed her attitude when she was told it's acts health code violation to dump hot soup into a cold crock pot. Prices have increased which is to be expected but obviously they have cut corners on their quality which is a bummer cause we grew up eating there and had family that worked for John and Tina over the years read more

I loved dining at Jeno's with my granddaughter. We arrived late but I could have enjoyed just sitting for much longer than the time we had! My granddaughter loved the chicken Parm and I decided to try something different. I had never heard of ribs and spaghetti on an Italian memo, but to say it was delicious does this meal a disservice! I thoroughly enjoyed every mouthful, and the portion was large enough for lunch the next day! Service was good, attentive but not hovering and we were not rushed to leave because of the hour. The only other Italian restaurant I've tried in Monroe is Tuscano's which is much pricier and not nearly as tasty!! Highly recommend! read more

Second try there. First time was pizza. Bland, tasted like all the toppings were straight out of a can.. Second time, I had the ravioli. It literally looked and tasted EXACTLY like Chef Boyardee canned ravioli. I mean exactly. Swamped in a bland red sauce that also tasted canned. Few diners there. Waitress was nice but not particularly sharp. Of the three staff we saw, only one was masked up. To top it off, they don't take credit or debit cards. Amazingly, there is a privately owned ATM 10 feet from the cash register. Use that, and it charges a hefty $3 fee. Pathetic, really... read more

Greek spaghetti... need I say more. Great service. Old home feel . All the menu is good food. Try it all. Pizza. Pasta. Sandwiches . The breakfast is great ... the biscuits and gravy ... yum read more

I've tried this place a few times and leave shaking my head - every time. I don't know the owners or their story but it seems that they quit caring about the place, the food and the customers a while ago. Vintage grime for decor, heavy and greasy for the food and then the I-don't-care-about-customer-convenience cash-only policy screams go away... so I will and I won't be back. As for your tip, the ever-so-convenient in house atm machine took it. read more

If you ask the longtime Monroe residents for food recommendations, Jeno's always comes up solid. They're not lying to you, either. This business is owned by a family that is well established in southwest Snohomish County. You can't get more Monroe than this. LOCATION: The restaurant is located in the heart of Old Monroe. Main St used to be the main route heading east into the mountains and west to Snohomish. A lot of history is on this street, but the building housing Jeno's was built 1976, making it one of the newer structures. INDOOR VIBE: The restaurant is old school. It doesn't have all the flashy crap that the chains use to attract business. It doesn't need to. The locals know the food is good and they keep coming back. ATHENS LOUNGE: You may see the Athens Lounge sign when you walk in the front door off Main St. If you head straight back, you'll find the lounge. They tell me not much has changed since the 80s. I'm certainly glad it hasn't. It really is a snapshot of how drinking was back in those days. Without a doubt, this is the local spot where you can talk to long time residents. I'm truly grateful that such a place even exists. ADULT DRINKS: They have a full bar in the back. They also stock everyday drinking wines. They also have a tap selection that features locally made beers and wines. FOOD: Old school. The family is Greek, but they do Italian. This is the type of stick to your ribs southern Italian food here. You won't find scampi here, but you'll have a glimpse of old style family cooking that you would give your left kidney for the recipes. The Friday specials are always good. The most sought after special is the Greek spaghetti which has an amazing whipped topping of some sort. The other solid recommendation is their prime rib over your choice of spaghetti or lasagna. I mostly eat the sandwiches because they're the best in the county. Hands down. As far as breakfast, I've only had the Country Benedict and it was pretty damn good. SERVICE: The service is always friendly. The staff works really hard as this place gets super busy. The bill is always cheap here, so definitely tip extra because they've earned it. I'm glad I took up the recommendations for Jeno's. Now I go there regularly. As the number dwindles of long established family run businesses in this state, I become more grateful for the ones that are still surviving. If that is what you're looking for, then this is the place. read more

Don't expect anything to dazzle you. Your order will be wrong, your check will be questionable, the food is nothing to mention, but it is here for you always- like an old soft blanket that you've had forever. The decor is so bad, so terrible, that you couldn't make it worse if you tried which makes it admirable in a funny way. The local regulars are always there and they are very pleasant and have a good taste in music and keep the jukebox loaded just enough that it keeps playing, but gives you an opportunity to play a song or 2 too. read more

Went to Jenos for breakfast when my usual place for some reason was closed. Sat myself. Seemed like that was expected, although there was a sign saying "please wait to be seated by your hostess". One thing I dont like is boitha with tables that are fixed to the wall or floor. I dont like the table in my chest while eating. Also hard depending on how tall you are. The food, biscuit and gravy, eggs, bacon, hashbrowns were good. Egg was done right. Gravy was good, maybe needs a bit more sausage to give it some spice, but still good. Fluffy biscuit. Water was cold. read more
