Monroe's Hot Chicken

Tyler Downey

A good choice for a quick lunch. It was my first time and I got the fried chicken sandwich with mild sauce and a side of ranch. The sandwich was huge, fresh, quality and delicious. The mild even was pretty spicy for me, similar to regular buffalo. No problems with the service. Self service kiosk and then you wait for it. It is a little pricey but not crazy for what you get. If in the area again, I’d come back and maybe try the Belgian waffle sandwich.

Visiting from Dallas and happened to stop by here for a quick bite. What a mistake that was. Many things not being done right in this restaurant. The staff is very rude and honestly stingy with utensils, sauces, etc. The kitchen is open and you can see your food being prepared and no one is wearing a hair net. I did not take a zoomed in picture of the fries but there was clearly a long dark black hair present. That was very unappetizing and killed my hunger off the bat. The food is not bad, however not worth the prices they have listed. For $12 just a chicken sandwich that isn’t even on par to other places I have been to that sell if for less ? If you add a order of fries it’s $16. If you want sauce another $.50. I was clearly disappointed, on top of that the music is way too loud, you can’t even hear the person next to you. The 2 stars are for the good soda they make and ok sandwich.

Hot damn! Hands down the best chicken sandwich. All other establishments need to apply. Tables, counters, and floors were clean. There were two ordering kiosks at the counter that were easy to use. Decor is contemporary, bold, clean, with mugshots of celebrities all over the walls. Soda fountain area was clean and well stocked. Trash can was not overflowing. Restaurant temperature was just right and the clientele was very diverse in age and color, mostly groups of three or more. Steady flow of customers. No parking lot as this is a downtown location, so you'll need to find a nearby parking garage or meter. Staff was friendly and confident and had a sense of urgency. Staff clothing was casual and well kept. Food ordered all had great presentation, was at the perfect temperature, and perfect texture. All food came in carryout containers which was well appreciated. Chicken sandwich was phenomenal, juicy, crispy breading, bursting with flavor, perfectly spicy, and made even better with the slaw and pickles. Sandwich buns were tasty and soft. You can choose how spicy you want the patty; I chose "hot". Hands down the best chicken sandwich. I can't think of anyway it could be better. Collard greens were so flavorful, I could eat a gallon. Mac and cheese was creamy and topped with delicious cornbread crumbs which added a little sweetness. Moon Pie was so good, huge, and not too sweet which I loved. Tried several sodas from the fountain and they were all amazing. This meal was one hundred percent worth every penny. On my next visit, I want to try more sodas from the fountain, the flaming hot Cheetos side, and try a spicier level of chicken sandwich. Tip: they do not validate parking for cityscape parking garage, so buy something at CVS on your way out. Thank you Monroe's, can't wait to visit again!

I got the overloaded chicken sandwich with hot Cheetos and Mac n cheese. It looked so amazing so I had to try it. What can I say except it looks way better than it tastes. The Mac n cheese is bland and the chicken itself is very dry and soggy. It doesn’t have the crispy skin that a fried chicken sandwich should have. The flavor was lackluster with most of it coming from the hot Cheetos. Honestly a huge miss
