Cotton - Monroe

Literally one of the best restaurants I've ever been to. I don't remember the servers name (Saturday at 3pm, male server with a beard training) was so nice and informative. The food was phenomenal. I hate Brussel sprouts and they made it perfect. The restaurant is all around aestetically pleasing and very clean. I had the Deviled eggs, meatloaf, and a rosemary pear alcoholic drink. A new favorite. Wish I got a photo of my food before I dug in! Service: Dine in

This restaurant is absolutely amazing. While driving with my boyfriend and his parents, we unexpectedly found this hidden gem of a restaurant. The grits were the best I have ever had. The service was great. We had lunch there and the price per person was between $10 and $20.

I don't even know where to start, but let me just say this: when a skilled chef gets their hands on high-quality raw ingredients, magic happens. This was one of those rare occasions where I had to pause after every bite and just admire the expertise that went into creating this symphony of flavors. The Duck Rolls were perfectly seasoned slices of duck breast filled with a mix of cream cheese, diced jalapeno peppers, and wrapped in bacon, then baked until golden brown. Adding yet another layer of flavor, they were drizzled with local honey. Five stars. The homemade biscuits were heavenly – flaky, moist, and delicate, complemented by a variety of jellies and old-fashioned syrup. Five stars again. The Deer Camp Meatloaf was a slice of meatloaf atop mashed potatoes and topped with slow-roasted Brussels sprouts infused with balsamic vinegar. Even though I'm not typically a fan of Brussels sprouts, these were amazing. Another five stars. The catfish and cheese grits were also delicious, though I'm not a grits person – they were the only slight downside to this otherwise fantastic meal. 4.5 stars for that dish. The Fried pork chop and red beans and rice were exceptional, with perfectly cooked red beans and rice and a thin, juicy pork chop with just the right amount of breading. This was easily the best meal I've had in years. Well done, Cotton. The ambiance was classy, with calming tunes, amazing artwork, natural wood floors, and exposed brick walls. The customer service was top-notch as well. This meal ticked all the boxes. If you're ever in the Monroe area, don't miss out on this unforgettable experience. And don't forget dessert – it's truly outstanding!

There is no other place like this in the twin cities. The menu is unique and well thought-out, from the food to the craft cocktails.
