Visiting our daughter at Wingate and she recommended the restaurant. Parking was interesting and…read moretook us a bit to finally find a spot. It is in downtown Monroe with street parking and some public parking lots. Our daughter said she has been there around 11:00am and got a spot on the street right in front. It is very eclectic with decor and items for sale. They have indoor seating, seating along entrance hall and outdoor seating. You order at one counter, which has a large menu boards above the counter. The young lady that took our order was very nice. You pay over at the bar area. It was not busy at the time we were there. I had the Salad Sandwich. You can get it with chicken salad, tuna salad or chickLESS salad. I had the chicken salad in a spinach wrap with lettuce and tomato. There are other bread options. The wrap was filled with the chicken salad. It was nicely seasoned and tasted really good. My husband and daughter both did the Pick Your Burger, a build your own. My husband had the burger with bacon, lettuce, tomato, pickles, grilled onions and pepper jack cheese. My daughter added bacon, lettuce, grilled onions and provolone cheese. They both said it was a great burger. We enjoyed our food. Definitely will come back.

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.

We stopped by last night for a quick meal before joining some folks for karaoke. They informed us…read morewhen we sat down the kitchen was closing in 5 minutes so my wife opted for the club sandwich and I got the chicken tenders. Her club was huge and stuffed with cheese and meat and really good looking bacon. My chicken tenders were big and well cooked and the honey mustard sauce was excellent. Even with them closing in a few minutes we didn't feel rushed or in the way. They were attentive to us keeping our drinks filled and making sure I got a box to take my chicken home for later. Yes their chicken tenders were good enough to want to take home. Hope to visit again soon.

As I mentioned before, I'd…read morekeep coming back; and, true to my word, I'm literally there every Sunday for Brunch, grinning like I own the place while the staff (who are absolute gems, by the way) welcome me in. I've also stopped by for dinner a few times, and let me tell you, these folks don't miss. The food? Always fresh and delicious. The service? Fast, professional, and somehow still warm and personable. They've really built a fantastic team here, and at this point, I'm pretty sure I qualify for honorary family membership. Someone get me a name tag that says "MSB Cousin." If you're ever there for Brunch when the "Big Stack" is on the menu, please try it. You're going to love it, and the many other brunch and dinner items on the menu.

My wife and I went for the chicken wings, the chicken thighs and the turkey with hush puppies, sweet potato casserole, coleslaw and the barbeque beans. Everything was delicious! We walked in for dinner, and the service was excellent, and we did not have to wait at all for a table.  This particular location is accessible and it has its own free parking lot with plenty of spaces.   Overall, 100% recommended.

Their location, IMO, is not ideal making them a destination and not a passersby decision. That said, great food is paramount to draw the crowd, and unfortunately, their fare is good, but not great. There's a ton of places just like it in Monroe. Sorta the "been there, had that" type of cooking. Too much is frozen food from Sysco and dropped in the fryer. That ain't cooking. While I enjoy my visits here, nothing has my "Give 'em a Whirl" meter shouting, "Bro, did you see what Southern Roots is whipping up for the weekend?"

First thing I noticed they have shecrab soup...instant win there. I ordered a big bowl and it did not disappoint. I order ten wings, garlic parm and teriyaki. Wing sauce is good but I did order the blue cheese. I am spoiled with homemade blue cheese from another local restaurant and you can tell it is definitely basic dressing. Atmosphere is great and I would want to see this place when it's busy. Four stars because of the so-so blue cheese...but other than that it's 5 all the way!

Classic family diner that apparently has been owned and operated by the same family for three generations now which is great to see. We came at an irregular lunch hour so it wasn't too busy which is lucky because I've heard this place can bring a crowd. It's not hard to see why! The two workers were super friendly and sweet and we enjoyed chatting with them. I elected to go with a cheeseburger and a chili cheese hot dog. Both were exactly what I needed especially the hot dog, I'm still thinking about that chili. Our meal was incomplete though. It still needed desert. I haven't had a milkshake in a long time but being in here made me nostalgic so I had to grab one to go! I got a Reese's shake just like I used to get as a kid and boy did I not realize how much I missed them. That's the kind of place this is. It has a wholesome and timeless quality to it that takes you back to a simpler time. It's not fancy or dressed up, just quality food made by quality people. I wish I lived closer but I know I will make it back.

I used to recommend this place, but after my recent experience, I can't anymore…read more First, they barely have any sides or appetizers. The only side they consistently seem to have is fries. I wanted cheese fries, but they told me they didn't have any cheese. That made no sense because they were still selling hamburgers and chopped cheese sandwiches, so clearly they had cheese. On top of that, I was told my food would be ready in 20-25 minutes, but I ended up waiting an entire hour. When I finally got my order, it wasn't even made correctly. I asked for both white sauce and red sauce, and neither was included. The long wait, lack of menu items, and incorrect order were very disappointing. I had been seeing them promoting this place on TikTok and I wanted to support a local business, but after this experience, I hope they improve their customer service, food preparation, and inventory management. The only reason for two stars is they sauce but they stay forgetting it!!
