I am a member of a motorcycle group from Mesa Arizona. We called and reserved the private room for 20 and we arrived and was greeted with friendly smiles. Everybody said the food was excellent. And we have been to several restaurants in the Phoenix area and this one was one of very few that has been able to get us in and out under an hour. Hats off to Stacie who was our waitress and she done a very good job and made us feel like we were welcome there anytime. I have been to Monica‘s two different times before this with my girlfriend and that’s why I wanted to go there with the motorcycle group. All of the waitresses that we’ve had in previous have been triple A+
Monica’s was a great little cafe to have lunch at on a drive through Show Low, AZ. The food was great and my waitress Tawny was friendly and fast. I have the chorizo burrito and a cup of their soup of the day, corn chowder. Both were tasty and reasonably priced. The soup even passed my spoon test. I will definitely eat there again and I recommend the place.
The biscuits to die for, gravy perfect, waffles were excellent, coffee was strong enough to strip armor plate off a battleship (the way you WANT diner coffee to be!) and the omelets were cooked to PERFECTION. Will definitely be back. Loved the breakfast we had!
Absolutely blown away by the experience here! The staff was incredibly welcoming and made me feel right at home from the moment I walked in. The atmosphere was warm, friendly, and full of good vibes. Now let’s talk about the food, the chicken fried steak and biscuits were hands-down some of the best I’ve ever had. Perfectly cooked and flavorful. You can tell there’s a lot of care and love put into everything they serve. Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for amazing food and genuine hospitality. I’ll definitely be back!
Stopped in for a quick bite. Super friendly. Food was perfect. The bacon omelette hit the spot.
Our papa loves to eat breakfast here after his doctor's appointment. He orders their pancakes and eggs. The owner, Monica, always greets him with a hug and smile. I like the hamburger (medium) with gravy and over medium eggs. Wish they had brown gravy, though. Had the coconut pie once. It was yummy!
I stopped in here for breakfast. Got the chicken fried steak and eggs with house potatoes. And it was delicious and the waitress Tawny was really good. I enjoyed the café. I like to go to Little mom and Pop places like this. I will be back to visit this place for sure.
Stopped in for breakfast. What can I say, to notch! The chicken fried steak was homemade, tender and absolutely delicious. Notably, unlike most restaurants, it was not overly salty, and perfectly crispy. Hash browns ordered crispy, arrived perfect. Generous portions, great service and reasonable prices. Not too be missed when
Excellent breakfast every time we come! We love Monica’s! Wonderful service with a smile from Victoria. David had the Eggs Benedict and says it’s the best he has ever had!
Absolutely perfect. I found this cafe when I was creating a scenic route to Mesa AZ. Chat GPT recommended it. Everything was perfect - tea choices, fluffy omelette, perfectly crispy hashbrowns and a biscuit and gravy that I had to put not to go box because there was so much food. All this was under $15!! Very comfortable setting. - worth the detour in my day trip.
