I bought Seven dinners. All of them taste like shoe leather, makes a second time I bought from here, and it was absolutely awful will not ever go back here again. The chicken was dry as heck. taste like it was leftover chicken they just threw it back on the smoker. I guess that’s why I get for buying takeout. Never again.

The food here is really good. The meat is very well smoked and very well seasoned. The only reason that I am not giving Monroe's 5 stars on their food is that: I order 3 wings and ribs AND got 3 half a wings (see pictures). I found that to be misleading, especially for the price.

I have eaten there several times and taken or been taken to it with friends. Lunchtime can get quite busy. The menu is varied and the quality of the food is good. The food is really cooked it seems, plenty of flavor, not just dumped out of

Collards were extremely nasty and tough. They were under cooked and in some kinda vinegar spicy sauce which was also nasty. I wasn't impressed with the corn bread souffle either. The fries were seasoned but no taste. The waitress who looks

I haven't been to this place since 2016 and let me say this place still taste very good. The banana pudding is a must have. I would have given it five stars but the greens had too much vingear in it. Once I took it out the vinegar and ate

I recently started dining here. They are Monday-through-Friday Lunch-only. At first, the food was pretty good. And I tried all the meats over about a month and a half's time. But quickly, the quality went down in terms of the food cook

Went there for the first time today and the food was awesome. My chicken was crispy but not burnt and very moist. The bake beans was well flavored. My spouse had the bbq bacon burger and it was bursting with flavor. The staff was very

  • Scott Haberly

It's was wonderful! We stopped by at 5pm, knowing they closed at 6pm, for take out. And usually other BBQ places we have tried, near closing time it's a bit on the dried side. This was spot on, and I was really impressed

  • Amanda Meade

I love Monroes. We live 35 mins away but it's well worth the drive. The price, quality, and amazing staff are outstanding! I highly recommend also getting an app and dessert but be prepared to be full and tired LOL

  • Eugene Gray

Second time for review... Food is always good, like everything, a bit pricey at times, miss the one on the south side of Jacksonville. Vegetables and sides are good, Will be back when on this side of town. More

  • Stefani

Best BBQ in Jacksonville. Love the smokehouse chicken platter with the baked beans. The corn nuggets are to die for, and the fried okra is amazing. The service is wonderful and everyone is super friendly.

  • Ms Boss

This cost $17+ for lunch, if you're looking for value keep going. The taste was nothing stand out. Those 4 little pieces of brisket definitely left me disappointed for what I paid.

I definitely recommend dry rub. Three ribs , three wings combo two sides 12.99 was really good. The collard greens tasted really good without anyting added.

Ribs/ food is great, only down side, the cook doesn't wipe the excess grease off the to- go container, other than that, keep up the good work. More
