The Grumpy Monk Carolina Forest

First time dining here, we were on vacation. The only thing I would advise is to eat early if you have issues with noise. Try to view the menu online or before seating. It is huge and the selection is detailed. Our wait was polite and fast. Our food was excellent and arrived surprisingly fast. It was early afternoon, but the place started to fill up quickly for dinner. If we lived close we would go back because of the menu. So many different dishes we would love to try. Parking: Parking lot surrounding the restaurant. Spots a little small. Lot was almost full early dinner hours.

Food was really good. HUGE portions, couldn't eat it all like everyone else at the table so we had good leftovers. Everything looked and smelled great. Too bad I couldn't try it all. . I will be back with a larger appetite.

Good food and beer selection

Great service! Many different options and styles of food for everyone.

Service started very slow, almost to the point of leaving. It wasn't due to them being very busy either. But once the waiter got to us, he was very prompt. Food otherwise was perfect! So so many menu choices to where we plan to return soon.

Burger was delicious and server managed a table of 11 efficiently and with a smile

Excellent service from Susie. Pickle chips were flavorful. Was able to get a vegetarian version of the poguelandia which was super unique and delicious even if the bottom bun was a tiny bit soggy. The pico de gallo and vanilla rum bbq sauce on the burger were super tasty. For anyone with sensory issues such as autism it might be a little loud, but the lighting levels are nice and dim. Bring headphones if you need and enjoy a good experience. Vegetarian options: I was able to get a vegetarian version of the poguelandia burger! The vegan and vegetarian options are very well differentiated.

My husband and I were there for a late lunch recently. Amber O was our server. She was so pleasant, friendly and helpful. I had the flounder sandwich which was great. My husband had the burger which he enjoyed. Will definitely go back.

Average, the Old Hickory draft bar I had was most enjoyable. Service was good...
