Monkey's Roost

★ 4.3 / 5 (275 reviews)

The Monkey's Roost offers a nostalgic dining experience, reminiscent of classic supper clubs, noted for its warm atmosphere and welcoming service. While some dishes, like the fried fish and tenderloin tips, receive high praise, opinions on flavor can be mixed, with a few items described as bland. The eclectic salad bar adds a unique touch, filled with both familiar and unexpected offerings. However, diners should be prepared to pay in cash, as the restaurant does not accept cards. Despite some dated decor, the attentive staff and consistent quality make it a beloved spot for locals seeking hearty, homemade meals.

What Garrett Reichel dislikes about Monkey's Roost:
Was very disappointed that we drove over there Thursday June 3, only to find it closed. We Googled it and it was suppose to be opened. I wanted tenderloin tips so bad and my friend wanted a good steak. Needless to say, we ended up getting pizza at LB. They need to post updated hours online/Google. View all feedback.
