    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!

    First time having brunch there. Everyone loved their food. We shared the pecan sticky bun, then the table ordered eggs Benedict, breakfast burrito, Nutella French toast sticks, chicken and waffles. Service was friendly and we were not rushed. We will be back!

    Waitress was amazing. It was my birthday dinner with a friend. Excellent service and ambiance. We had a quiet booth in the back and could also hear the live band playing.

    Always a great time at the Monkey! You absolutely have to try the Bloody Mary’s and their sweet potato hash at brunch!
