Great quality food, good portions. Love the presentation. Service was excellent. My husband had the beef brisket and I had the Eula Burger with a side of Texas caviar. Stacked high with straw onion rings, Bacon and cheddar cheese. YUM! Our meal was delicious. We will definitely stop in again. Great prices too.

We go here every once in a while and look forward to it every time! The coney dogs are very different than the Detroit style. The sauce is tomatoey. They have great waffle fries and onion rings too! Try the homemade root beer!

Stopped in for lunch mid-week. We were greeted right away and quickly seated where we were wished. Their wine list is pretty limited, although the beer selection isn't bad - have developed a liking for Sam Adams winter seasonal beers, which they didn't have. The food and service were excellent!

At R Diner, we believe that "home style" means a warm and friendly place where you can always count on delicious, quality ingredients & excellent service!

Was excited to hear there were new owners, but the food is not reflecting it. We are close and have eaten here many times, but the quality and quantity of food has taken a hit.

I heard about the hot dog and root beer when I was at Joe's French Italian Inn, their sister restaurant. Having a mom who loves all things "coney dogs", I figured it wouldn't be all that different from what I'd had before.Man, I was wrong! The chili has a sweet flavor that I've not had before and ended up eating 2 no problem. I probably could've gone for a third, but the root beer finished off the meal so well I didn't want to gorge! A must stop when in Monroe!

I always make a point of visiting this restaurant when I visit Monroe because they had wonderful Rueben sandwiches. This time I was very disappointed because the sandwich had no flavor and it was very greasy. Guess I'll have to find another place to eat in Monroe.

It would be nice if the host had recognized that my 78 year-old mom was walking slowly with her cane and asked if she would like to set close to the door rather than seating us on the far side of the restaurant. We were seated next to a table with a child playing with a tablet with the volume cranked up, not wearing headphones. I went back to the host and asked if a manager was going to have them stop (which would have been the appropriate thing to do) or if he wanted to move us to a quiet table. Management needs to take control of situations like that! It wouldnât be ok if every adult had their phone volume turned up, playing music or games. Likewise, it is not acceptable for children to do it as theyâre watching cartoons or playing games. The rest of us DONâT want to hear it!Servers (one in training) were friendly but we had to ask for things more than once. Requested biscuits before our meal but they were served with our entrées. Received wrong beverage and refill never came. (At $2.69 + tax + tip for a glass of tea, I want at least 1 refill.) Food wasnât hot - mom ate hers anyway but I sent mine back to have it heated up. Probably worthy of 2.0-2.5 but Iâm giving them 3 because the waitresses were nice.

My husband and I travel the US 4-5 months out of the year. When traveling, and even when home, we choose the local establishments over chains. Both of us have been business owners and know the importance of the local customer. So, while visiting Monroe, Michigan, we once again did our homework and chose "Public House" for our first meal out. We were greeted at the door by several staff members and quickly seated. Within a couple of minutes, Tracey our waitress greeted us. She was so delightful, attentive and a complete joy to converse with. I ordered the French Onion Grilled Cheese and my husband-the Crunchy French Toast with Caramel and Bananas. (By the way, you can order off the breakfast menu anytime of day). Our food arrived hot, made with the freshest ingredients and was superb! We saw the owner Fred, continually in the dining room, walking around, making sure that everyone was being taken care of. He was probably one of the nicest men that we have ever met and truly loves what he does. He asked if it was our first time there, and asked why we chose Public House. We explained that we try to always dine at the local establishments when we travel. He was very appreciative to us, and said that he strives hard to make sure everything they serve is perfect. Said that even the table we were eating on was locally made. I can't say enough wonderful about this place. We loved it so much, we plan to eat breakfast there while in town. Check out their menu online-keep in mind that everything is made either in house or locally...even the chocolate chip cookies are made nearby! Don't miss this place....Wow, thank you for all of your wonderful comments and recommendation! We could not do all we do without our valuable team so this is a shout out to them, and your review will be passed along to Tracey. (Just one little correction, our chocolate chip cookies as well as all our desserts are made in-house by our pastry chef.)
