Stone Table

Surprise find in downtown Monroe. Small but clean and classy style. Great looking food and impressive beer selection. I had the Pork Belly sandwich, reminded me of a Bahn Mi. My only critique is a few more of the veggies on the sandwich and maybe a little bigger. I wanted more! The chips that came with it were very tasty and light. I wish they had a smaller version of their salads to add to the meal. They looked amazing.

This place is fantastic! Definitely a diamond in the rough. I ordered the warm cabbage salad and the special beef and potato soup and both were absolutely delicious. The service was wonderful and Sharon was so sweet. No doubt that I will be back!

Chef Matthew is a true talent and has created a menu to reflect the South and it’s fantastic culinary history. He takes simple dishes and puts his very own and unique spin on them to make even the most commonplace dishes pop with new life and explosive flavor. If you’re in Monroe, treat yourself to this local delight.

Wow! I stopped in trying to find authentic Monroe food instead of going to a chain and this place was phenomenal! The food was hot and fresh. Everything was made with fresh ingredients. I had the autumn turkey wrap and cinnamon sweet potatoes fries! Too die for!

This is a locally owned and operated restaurant of small tables and great dishes. They do wonderful catering in Monroe as well. I’m recommending them well.

Stone Table is one of those fantastic restaurants that you read on magazines or watch on TV but are unlikely to ever run into. It’s located in the remote and sleepy town of Monroe, NC. In the middle of the classic American main street of times past. I honestly never expected to find anything more than average food while driving thru the area, but, oh, was I wrong. I came in for a late lunch and was short on time but ate the best shrimp and grits that I’ve ever had. The grits had the perfect consistency. They were covered in a mildly spicy sauce that came together with the cheese on the grits. The shrimps were perfectly cooked, buttery and juicy and all different layers of flavors made this an unforgettable dish. The service was great. Everyone was courteous and had a genuine smile on their face. Now I have a reason to come and visit Monroe. I will definitely be back to try other dishes on the menu. It’s great to find a place that builds on such a common staple, as is Southern food around here, and make it exciting and delicious.

Shrimp and grits were good, but the shrimp were obviously overcooked. Would’ve given a half star less but not an option on here. The environment was great, they had a limited but detailed menu, and everything sounded great. I had a watermelon cooler that was delicious and the attention to detail and freshness of the food was on point. I was able to grab a table outside on the sidewalk and enjoy the outside air during my meal.

Had the stone table burger and fries, very tasty. Grilled bun with pimento cheese spread and onion ring on top of a perfectly grilled patty. Fries dusted with shredded cheese go a long way with some malt vinegar. Can’t wait to try something else on the menu.

Great environment. Friendly staff. Charming and unique setting. Food was thoughtfully made and the recipes for all the items are different but amazing. I had the new turkey wrap with walnut mayo, caramelized onions and a side of the pumpkin spice sweet potatoes fries (omg) so so good. Give those fries a try!

Excellent! We moved to the area 6 months ago & I have been looking for a restaurant with fresh unique food in the area (without driving to charlotte). Finally found it! This place is fantastic. The last time I tried to go here for lunch (a Thursday) the place was super busy with no seating, but today (Monday) was much slower. I got the kale salad with field peas, apples & peanuts. This salad was perfect and dressing was wonderful. I also got the pimento cheese with chips which was also great.
I hear the shrimp & grits is amazing so I will definitely be bringing my husband back so he can try that! So glad I found this place and that it is in Monroe. I will definitely be back soon!

Have been wanting to try Stone Table for months and finally went today for brunch. I chose the Shrimp and Grits… aah-​mazing, very happy tastebuds and belly. I love that in addition to it being delicious, I am also supporting a local restaurant and locally grown food. Also was very pleased with the coffee and infused water (strawberries, oranges, mint and rosemary). Definitely will be going back and don’t have to drive to Charlotte to have awesome food which is a huge plus!

Absolutely crushed it! What a gem of a place with fantastic service and very warm, friendly staff. I can’t wait to come back to Monroe just to eat here!

I am so impressed by this place. I make special, purposeful trips out here to Monroe to be able to eat here. Great local ingredients made in to amazing dishes, some simple some are exquisite. Nothing short of AWESOME.

One of the best southern style restaurants I’ve ever been too. The staff is very very friendly and the food is absolutely amazing! I had the burger and their cheesecake, which was definitely the best cheesecake I’ve ever had!

A slice of heaven (along with a slice of tomato pie) right in downtown Monroe NC. This is my 2^nd visit here this week and can’t wait for the next time. They have the most unique menu I’ve ever seen, and so far, I’ve been wow’d with everything we’re had. Check it out: Peanut butter, banana & bacon … Grilled, Pork belly sandwich, marinated BLT, peach sandwich, and the list goes on. They are only open 8 am — 6pm, Monday — Thursday … open until 9 pm on Friday. Oh my yummy!

A wonderful little place. Good food with a great atmosphere! Menu has pretty much everything delicious from Power Balls for breakfast to shrimp and grits hot entrée! Good assortment of beer wine and non alcoholic drinks.
The hamburger was delicious with slaw and pimento cheese on top of a wonderful patty fresh bun and sweet potato fries as a side. Great people behind the counter and in the kitchen which is seen from the counter.

I first heard about this place when attending Taste of Union. My husband and I were looking for somewhere different to go for lunch in Monroe. As soon as I saw Shrimp and Grits on their menu I was sold. The location is easy to get to and has plenty of parking. From the outside it just looks like a ordinary store front restaurant. However, once you walk in, there’s nothing ordinary about it. The menu is a upscale mix of eclectic choices and, of course, Shrimp and Grits. We arrived just before noon and once noon hit, there was a line out the door. They did not disappoint with their food, it was fine dining quality!!! Even the lavender lemonade was to die for. Friendly staff, clean and quick service. Love, love, love!!!

This place was amazing! First off they locally source their food which is a great bonus. The staff is super friendly and gave great suggestions. The lady at the counter suggested he turkey wrap, which may sound boring but it was fantastic! It had bacon, peppers, goat cheese and some orange marmalade. Holy crap, it was awesome! I will definitely be stopping in again when we pass through.
I almost forgot to mention they have a huge dessert selection and the bacon glazed donuts are delicious!

I’ve now frequented Stone Table for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Matt, the head chef, as well as his entire staff are incredibly accommodating and extremely chill. They all go out of their way to ensure your dining experience is one for the books.
Their Shrimp-​and-​Grits is OUTSTANDING, and even what would seem so mundane as a bacon burger or pork sandwich… exceptionally prepared with notable presentation. Taste and quality are consistent homeruns at Stone Table.
Drink selection is more than enough; choose your poison (s)! Lots of fantastic beers and wines, both nat’l and local brands. Or if water’s your thing, simply help yourself to refreshing infused water. Furthermore, their coffee’s also a hit! Knock yourself out — they certainly don’t mind.
As for dessert, Stone Table offers very fresh concoctions. Select from super fresh pastries and other baked goods, or see what the crew can whip up for you. Never a disappointment!
Ultimately, Matt’s achieved something amazing here. Especially for Monroe, this place simply breaks the mold of blatantly typical Southern fare that’s almost too prevalent in the area. His ongoing pursuit to utilize only THE freshest ingredients is readily apparent in each and every dish, with each and every bite. Great job, Stone Table! Great job.

Stone Table quite possibly has the best shrimp and grits I’ve ever tasted. And the cupcakes are moist and delicious. I’m not sure if they’re sourced from a bakery somewhere, but they’re great.
The atmosphere is casual, the service warm and inviting. Stone Table has a new fan.
