Great breakfast spot with plate lunch specials Monday - Friday. This Historic Downtown Monroe spot always has friendly service.

A great mom and pops restaurant to eat at. Working out of town the work crew and I found this place which was also recommended by the locals. Delicious food for a really good price. Ended up eating here everyday for lunch because not only was the food great but you’re served really fast and can enjoy yourself. The people working and running the place were more than friendly and genuinely good people. Will return to eat here again when working in town again.
