Monroe Grill

We have eaten here several times. The food quality has declined some. The breakfast items are the best offerings. Okay. We we went this past Monday the 13^th of June 2016. We went to celebrate a birthday. I was totally sick to find a very long hair in my rice pudding. The waitress had come to pick up the check as I found it. She apologized but didn’t bother to send the manager to our table. We will never eat here again. Sorry. that hair was just disgusting!

I was a bit disappointed in what I ordered. I got a small greek that was loaded with lettuce for almost $ 6. It looked like a $ 0.99 side salad. However, Everyone was friendly when I picked it up. This will be the last time I get a small greek.

Bad, Bad Bad ate there tonight ! Poor food quality does not compare to Public House!

First of all the waitress was great. I did order the mushroom cheese
was a step maybe above White Castle. gotta pay a extra 2 bucks and change for ok French fries and maybe one fork of coleslaw. plus one guy is watching you at all times like you have over stayed

We have been there six or seven times since they opened and never had a bad experience. We have tried a different entre each time and they were all good, and especially like their lemon rice soup. Staff is very friendly. We’ll keep coming back.

this is a good diner for a quick meal. the staff is friendly. the biscuits and gravy are awesome. breakfast special is a good price for quite a bit of food. great breakfast spot. seems quite busy when we go in but not busy enough that youre waiting forever to get your food.

I’ve had Monroe Grill a few more times since my initial review, so it’s time for an update and it’s not positive.
First, I had biscuits and gravy. The biscuits were tiny… I was expecting four nice-​sized biscuits and instead I received four very flat and cakey biscuits. They seemed to be frozen biscuits that were cut in half, so really it was just two. Or perhaps they were four, but not properly cooked. In any case, they were not good. The gravy was dumped on so heavy they were drowning. I’m all for a lot of gravy, but not to where there was enough for four or five times the amount of biscuits I received.
Second, there was my club sandwich. The turkey on it was thick chunks of turkey, in some cases nearly an inch thick, and not properly covering the bread. There was no way to eat this sandwich like a sandwich. Turkey on a sandwich needs to be sliced and stacked, not thick chunks. There was almost no mayo. Maybe that’s to make it more healthy? I’m not sure but I certainly didn’t enjoy it.
I might give Monroe Grill another go to try a more dinner-​like food, but they are quickly losing my interest.

First visit today and it was a good experience. The atmosphere was nice and the booth we sat in was pleasant. Our waitress was really nice and attentive. A second person walked around the tables offering refills and making sure we had everything we needed. My husband ordered a breakfast of steak, eggs, hash browns and toast. The portions were generous, the steak was cooked as ordered but was a little fatty. The greek salad with grilled chicken came with really good homemade dressing and thick cuts of pita bread. The chicken was never frozen and was grilled fresh. The toppings were plentiful so I wish there was more lettuce included. Service was quick — we were able to get in and out during a lunch break. We will be back.

My husband and I decided to try the Monroe Grill last night. The food was really good. Service, not so much. I got the lemon rice soup, which was really delicious. He got the clam chowder, and said it was really good also. The soups are homemade fresh every day, and you can tell they are made from scratch. My fish and chips were good, but rather typical, nothing special. He said his catfish and fries were excellent. We also had rice pudding for dessert, which was included with our meals. It was really delicious, and tasted homemade. Now, about the service: When we got there, there were no napkins or flatware on our table. When the waitress brought our soup, I asked for napkins and silverware. There was a soupspoon on the saucer with the soup, so we were able to eat the soup but didn’t have napkins. She said she would be right back with the silverware and napkins, but she didn’t bring them. I kept seeing her around the restaurant, doing other things, so my husband went and got us napkins and silverware. I noticed toward the end of our meal that we had not received the bread basket that was supposed to be included in the meal. I mentioned it to the waitress, and she brought it to us then. I asked for a refill on my iced tea, and it was a long time before I got it. We will definitely go back. The soup alone is reason enough to go back, it is truly delicious.

very very good food, I finally found a place in Monroe to dine. favorite Greek place in Toledo was Mano’s, till now. very comparable… The thick pita bread with thick cuts of gyro meat and very delicious tzakziki sauce really made one of the better gyros I have had.
kids menu –crayons would be nice – to keep kids entertained
Opa was nice cheese appetizer, however a baked feta would be better, feta cheese that came with salad was delicious.

Was busy for lunch today, so I figured it must be good. Got seated right away, and was met quickly with our drink order. Scanning the other tables I noticed they do not clean properly. When a table left, the busboy wiped ¹⁄₃ of the table and re-​organized the table. This happened several times. Hold old was that towel water? Was it bleach water, or right out of the sink? No cleaning spray used at all, so this will haunt me all day.
Food… We ordered a Gyro sandwich with Greek salad, Fish & Chips with side salad, and a Taco Salad.
The side salad was 4 leaves of iceberg broken up by a third grader and a cup of dressing; nothing else in the salad! The Greek salad was good, but the dressing is missing some zing.
Gyro was decent, the meat was cut into ½″ squares (which was weird) with tomatoes and onion and there was no lettuce on the sandwich.
Fish & Chips was fresh and great. Fries were good too. Advertised «with bread basket» but never saw any bread.
Taco Salad came in a fresh fried tortilla bowl and the same iceberg from that 3^rd grader. Good seasoned meat and extras in the salad. The salsa is not good… it’s like crushed tomatoes with no heat whatsoever.
Overall decent experience, but the cleanliness really bothered me.

My BF and I ordered carry out. I had the Philly Steak Sub and it was delicious! Fries are cooked just right. My BF had a burger, it wasn’t anything to brag about but it was really good. If the burger was a hand patty burger and cooked to order I would have given this place 5 stars. I can’t wait to try more items on the menu! So far I love the food here! I posted pics of their menu as you can’t find a menu anywhere online. I feel in 2015 every restaurant should have an online menu for those who want carry out orders.

A friend and I tried this for lunch yesterday and will return. The menu is large and varied, not unlike typical American diners, so you are sure to find something you like. The club sandwich was fresh and the veggie omelet looked really good. The staff was friendly and courteous, food was tasty, plentiful and well priced. The décor is well done and clean. The only complaint I have is that it is very noisy. Lots of hard surface to bounce the noise around.
FYI-​the ladies bathroom was just fine!

Wrong order received, no side, charged for the garbage they decided to serve, we left and had a better meal at the BP up the street in the form of a protein bar. Additionally the men’s bathroom was locked out that day. I wonder if the money they just charged me for the wrong meal will be looked at in hindsight as «worth it». I bet not.

Seemed like prices were good til the meal arrived. The 12 Oz sirloin was a hamburger patty and 6oz at the most. The salad never came. As we were leaving they asked us if we wanted the salad to go. Hmm. Never had a salad come after the meal. The men’s bathroom was closed. I could keep going but I’ll stop there. I’m surprised they have been opened a week. I can’t see it making it to many more.
