Really enjoyed our visit to Logan's in Monroe. Was a busy late Sat afternoon, but we were seated promptly. Our server was top notch, in spite of caring for a number of guests in addition to me & my husband, she took care of us promptly & in a very friendly manner. We both chose the NY Strips, each was prepared exactly as requested & were quite tasty. Salads & sides were also really good. Our server stopped by from time to time (not over-bearing, just right!) & made sure that we had cold beer when needed during our meal. Like the convenient location, right across the street from the Best Western where we were staying over night. Won't hesitate to visit again when in the area.

You can't go wrong with Five Guys Burgers. They are always fresh and delicious. Burgers are huge. We only ask for one order of fries between two people as they are extremely generous with the amount.

If you're hesitant about dining at a place unless it's a five star immaculate, ritzy & trendy location then you'll be uncomfortable here. If good food at great prices is your thing, by all means stop in here for breakfast or lunch. The service is quick and the staff is adequate. The decor and restrooms are extremely rundown and in need of a makeover but as packed as it was on the Sunday morning that we went, the cliente didn't seem to mind. The only complaint (a minor one) I have is the livermush, normally a southern delicacy, I was unimpressed as it was slightly overcooked. I'll pass on it next time. The prices are extremely cheap so I didn't mind so much. The rest of the food was yummy. I would recommend this place if cheap eats is what you're after.

We went to Longhorns around 9:30pm last night. We had eaten a slightly small meal at a fund raiser earlier in the afternoon. We ordered the Firecracker Chicken roll ups and the Western Shrimp appetizers and house salads. The appetizers were delicious. Our salads were filled with the hard core of the lettuce. I only saw a couple of the small cubed cucumbers and 2 small diced cubes of tomato. I took the tomato off the appetizer plate and put on my salad. I did have a small piece of onion in it. My husbands salad was the same. I felt like we were ripped off. They usually have good salads. Our waitress was named Devon and she provided us with great service. Longhorns needs to step up their game.

I love Showmars ... great consistent quality. Food delivered fresh and hot. Good gyros. Love their sauces. Somewhat creative in that they offer burgers on pita bread which is kinda different. Shrimp is cooked perfectly. I love this restaurant

Reviewed By FaSnizel
Couple night out and wanted seafood, found Spiros on TA and gave them a try. Decent meal but really just an OK restaurant overall. Scallops entree was somewhat bland, marginally fresh and smaller sized scallops, OK sides. Seafood buffet was slightly better and decent selection. Eat in the newer section to the right, the original part is clean but tired decor. Service was good but at less than half full the kitchen was fairly slow.If you want seafood and shy away from the pre-packaged chains this is your best choice in Union County, but for a special night or meal you should take the trip into Charlotte.

A nice little restaurant uptown Monroe. Nice courtyard outside for outdoor dining. The best salad around. Fresh and a very nice variety, not just the usual lettuce, cucumber and tomato. Sandwiches well prepared and tasty. Recommend giving it a try. New best place to go for a salad.

A very interesting place to eat. Definitely not conventional, but quite the unique experience. The food and service was great! Couldn't have asked for friendlier people. The banana pudding wasn't as tasteful as I prefer, but overall, I think this is a great place to spend time with friends and enjoy a small town meal!

I have eaten here twice... lunch was good, because I wasn't to familiar with the menu, and dinner was FANTASTIC! Food served the same for the entire table and dependant upon what the Chef decides to prepare. It was Delicious! Fresh, organic and healthy options.

Stopped by while driving thru town - I went in expecting to order at a counter, like you do at their Concord location and was surprised to find this location a sit down place with menus and waitresses. My family likes this style better as this location offers more choices (salads, burgers, more sandwiches) than Concord. Everything we had was great and my wife even said her chicken was the best she has ever had (and she eats chicken almost always at BBQ places).
