Great bar/restaurant next to a dog park and the Memphis Farmers Market (on Saturdays).

This was my second time visiting this location. My first time was pleasurable enough that I knew I would be back. This visit exceeded my 1st (mainly due to the bar attendance’s attentiveness. The first time it sucked but the food was good). On that first visit we saw a delicious burger being served and on this one, me and my companion had to try it so we ordered the BBQ bacon burger today. I will attest that this burger not only looked delicious but it actually tasted that way. The fries were hot and the burger was juicy, flavorful and as mouthwatering as it looked. Found another hidden spot for a good burger. The spot has a welcoming atmosphere and usually the only people that have been in are at the bar area but the dining area is open also. There is pool area from what I can see. They also have a hot plate special that runs until they close. Overall, I recommend this place for a cozy date, a quick drink or a great meal in general!!

Visited for a late lunch on Saturday, so it was quiet. We had a lovely server who took great care of us. Food was spot on, prepared with care and delicious. If staying longer we would definitely have returned.

Love the Monkey and the band choices. Carlos Ecos band is one of my favorites. It has a very laid back vibe and I always have a great time whenever I’m there.

We sat on the patio and it was nice. The inside was busy. Their wasn’t many bugs bothering us and the temp was just right. Our waitress was punctual and nice. Food was cooked just right and flavorful. Drinks were strong too. I’m going to sit in the inside next time!!

The Blue Monkey on Main is terrible. Food was cold and dry. The Buffalo rolls were terrible and that really hurted because they are excellent at the Front location. I paid $70 for some nasty cold food.

Went to TJ Mlligans first. Got called a motherf***er by one the drunks at the bar. Waited 3 minutes and no staff showed up. Left and came to the Blue Monkey on a whim. Great service by Mya. Bisque is the best I’ve had in a long time. And all I wanted was a plain baked potato but isn’t on the menu but Mya said if I had 20 minutes, she’d get me one. Love the service!!!!!!!! Coming back most definitely.
