Good food, neighborhood dive bar ambience, great friendly service. I had the catfish platter – the fish was fresh and the hushpuppies were some of the best I’ve had. And the side salad was much better than I expected.

Customer service was friendly and inviting. Our waitress was very knowledgeable about the menu and made great recommendations! Let me start by saying that the star of the show was the Philly Po boy! It was so juicy that I did not necessarily need to dip it into the Au jus sauce. You can see from the photos the juices definitely dripped onto my plate. The bun was not soggy but perfectly soaked with the juices from the meat. CHEF’S KISS! Now for the ok news. The green beans were not really seasoned. The Mac and Cheese was a no go! Another customer in the parking lot recommended the buffalo egg rolls. They were pretty good. Fully stuffed with chicken. The cheese sticks were very mid. Looked and tasted like cheese sticks were from your local grocery store freezer. Could’ve bought my own and heated it up in my own microwave at home. The hamburger steak was delicious! It had a charbroiled flavor throughout the meat! Giving it a good flavor with the gravy. We also had the mashed potatoes which were average. My daughter had the grilled chicken which was very flavorful and tender. Over all we will return but maybe to try something different. The next time I will try the chicken club sandwich on a croissant.

Overall, the food was fresh and brought out promptly. The Philly cheesesteak didn’t have much flavor and the additional seasoning on the fries took away from the taste. The flavor of the mushrooms were not to my liking so I probably won’t order it again if I return. The catfish tasted great, but the breading could be more flavorful overall. The tartar sauce was terrible, but the coleslaw tasted decent. The mashed potatoes were the best part of the entire order surprisingly. I probably won’t return because overall the food and environment was mediocre. Meh experience and there is better priced food and better tasting food in the area . ‍♂️

Me and my former coworker met here for dinner the other night. We were seated right away, they weren’t extremely busy. I had the Philly cheesesteak sandwich Don had the sausage & cheese platter. Everything was great including the waitress I highly recommend this location

Everything I’ve had here is good! Get the pot roast on Fridays, you won’t regret it! Them Hotwing egg rolls… twice baked potatoes…. whew yes! Just go & try something…. You will not regret it.

The ONLY thing I didn’t like is there are no dividers on the Togo plates… I hate my different foods to touch!!!!

My coworkers and I have eaten at the Blue Monkey off and on since they were down in a deep basement one door over from where they are today. Back then, seating was tight, but with the new building seating is not as much of an issue.

The food has always been outstanding there. The service can be a little slow, but they do get busy. Costs are a little on the steep side but within reason for our once-a-week dining out practice.

Went on a Friday and got the pot roast, turnip greens, fried okra, and sweet tea. It was just what I have been missing from Southern food. Absolutely delicious and big portions! I never had to ask for a refill of tea, my glass was always full and I was definitely drinking a lot of it! All of the staff is friendly. Will definitely go back.

Only one server working. Overwhelmed id say. When it came time to pay the bill and asked for the ticket to be divided by who had what she said it has to be one she threatened a guy in group with the manager! Food was ok but there are places within 200 feet that have better service,food and staff. 0 out of 10. Not going back till i forget this last trip.
