One of our favorite places, large eclectic menu which usually signals trouble , but not here! The best wings around, great salads, sandwiches. I have never been disappointed at the Monkey. It is very popular and crowded and the noise level can be high. Weekends there is music in the bar and sometimes its a little too loud, the acoustics aren't great but the service and food make up for it. Kathy the bartender is outstanding!

the amount of food for the price is excellent, the bowles look a little small but are super filling which makes it worth it. Everyone seems to have a good time, it is a little louder because of so many people plus the music but overall an amazing place. 10/10 recommend, especially for anniversary dates!

Wonderful end of year staff appreciation brunch. Ive been here for breakfast and brunch in the past and it was good.. not so good when I bring larger groups. But today was phenomenal! They served our table brunch foods in serving size bowls, So everyone has their food at one time and everyone's was hot There was plenty left over and they urged us to take it home. The host, to the waitstaff were great, friendly and shared their appreciation for choosing them for our event. We will be back in March for our quarter review check-in on our business goals. Thank you!
