What User doesn't like about Monk's Steamer Bar:
The crab legs were freezer burnt and did not have much meat. Our server was good. The owner was nasty to customers and employees in front of everyone. Do yourself a favor and don't go, unless for the restroom, which you will need. Food: 1 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 1 View all feedback.

If you enjoy good, fresh reasonably priced shellfish, Minks is a MUST. Fun and attentive staff, ok TVs, but the drinks are always made very well.
