When I travel, I try my best to eat at local restaurants, because it gives you a taste of the area. Unfortunately, when you get into a town late at night, and do not have any trusted advisors, it is time to get a meal from a chain location. Since we were in restaurant row, we decided to eat at Bennigan's.
I had the chicken salad, and Sarah went with the potato soup. As normal, we had an excellent meal, and were able to walk.

A nice spot to eat on the river and have great food. One of the nicer eateries in Monroe. Might need to make a reservation on a weekend because there are not many nice places left...the "Applebies" chains have taken over....
Favorite Dish: Fried catfish with hush puppies and sweet tea...yeeeah...

Some may disagree, but I love this Texas style Barbeque. It rocks and their potato salad is out of this world. The atmosphere is fast food like and a bit "western". I would suggest getting it to go and find a spot for a picknik. Chanault Park maybe?
Favorite Dish: sandwich with beans and potato salad....yum...

At the foot of the "old bridge" (the one that goes to downtown Monroe) and commonly known as Bayle's Landing, this place is a nice way to spend the evening drinking a beer and soakin' it in. Great views of Ouachita river and downtown Monroe.
Favorite Dish: crawfish balls

Well, this place used to rock the house and I have some of my best Monroe memories from the place, but the last time I went there the food wasn't so great. In spite of that it isn't a chain. It is located in an old house on the edge of Monroe's Garden District area (you ch is very nice). Oh yeah, the service is usually excellent......and
Favorite Dish: hmmmmm.....everything?

Pronounced "Shinney" by the locals this relatively new place serChves a mean meal. Don't be uptight! The service is sloow and everyone smokes regardless if you have kids or are just "sensitive". They would most likely tell you "don't like it?...you can leave". I agree.
Favorite Dish: Crawfish poboy

While not the experience that the Chateau can promise, Genusa's is a nice place away from the madness of I-20 and chains in a nice area near Forsythe Park in Monroe. The wine list is pretty good as well...walk down to "Windows" bookstore after you eat.

Boiled crawfish, pulled pork sandwich and the fried turkey are the best! It is a former gas station (you can tell) and it is really is more of a catering service, but you are there for the food and not the atmosphere.

Like several places I've listed for Monroe this place IS a Monroeso establishment and rightfully so. There are no windows inside and the decor (and perhaps the servers) has not changed since 1953. The parking lot is paved with used oyster shells and the small red/black bar is a classic. Go early because it always is packed!

Johnny's is a local pizza chain and it is really excellent. The atmosphere is nothing special, but the food makes up for it. If you happen to go to Lake D'arbonne in Farmerville there is one here as well....
Favorite Dish: Sweep the kitchen or sweep the bayou pizza....they use beer in their dough and it tastes out of this world..
