Are you looking for a restaurant to experience a great, southern home-cooked meal? Look no further, because Monell’s is the best spot in town for a delicious breakfast, lunch or dinner.

The restaurant serves their multiple-course, made-from-scratch meals family-style, bringing all the food to the table in large bowls to pass around the table. As good as the food is, washing it down with their incredible sweet tea might be the best part of the whole meal.

I went to Monell’s for dinner with my mother for the first time, and it was so impressive. My mother told me about the restaurant many times before, but I was a bit turned off by the family-style seating that I decided it wasn’t really for me.

Finally, after months of my mother ranting and raving about the fried chicken, I just had to try it–and I am certainly glad I did.

As soon as I entered the restaurant we were seated promptly and I was astounded by the tempting chocolate pie that was placed at the table right in front of me as soon as we sat down to eat.

After quickly being seated, dinner was served within minutes. Not knowing what to expect I was taken away by the constant replenishing of all the food — from cucumber salad to the roasted potatoes, corn pudding, green beans, apples, fried chicken, meatloaf, chicken and dumplings, corn on the cob, topped off by the homemade biscuits and cornbread with peach preserves.

So much food was brought out, I lost count of all the dishes! All I can say is everything was seasoned wonderfully and everything was simply delicious.

The communal table setting I thought I would be put off by turned out to be a great experience. You can’t beat wonderful food and good conversation. Monell’s is truly a place for the entire family to enjoy a good home cooked meal and pure southern hospitality.
