"The Best Fried Chicken Sandwiches in the United States: Monroe's Hot Chicken - Fried chicken on a sandwich? Count me in! Monroe's Hot Chicken perfects this delicacy and leaves your tastebuds on a wild ride the moment you take your first bite."
"One not-so-secret — but highly underrated — dish is the Tennessee moon pie. It's a huge graham cracker cookie sandwich with a marshmallow filling. It's then submerged in chocolate. Talk about yum. These ginormous desserts are not to be missed, that's for sure."
"If you really want to get burned in the best possible way, you need to get yourself a taste of the Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich at Monroe’s. They lace their bone-in chicken breast with the heat of cayenne pepper. This isn’t some quasi-spicy sauced dolloped on top of fried chicken. The heat here really permeates the chicken from the crispy skin all the way into the juicy meat."
"The size of this sandwich was enormous, it took two hands. My first bite, I was in a coma of deliciousness. It was packed with flavor, crispiness, and heat."
"Finally, Phoenix has a decent place for Nashville-style hot chicken, that crunchy, craggy and capsaicin-packed poultry that swept the nation a few years ago. Monroe’s is tops for its incredibly juicy boneless tenders and its choose-your-own-adventure heat levels: Southern (no spice), mild, medium, hot, extra hot and What Da Cluck!, which is so singeing you have to sign a waiver."

"Delicious. No idea if it's authentic or not but amazing. Spicy chicken for any spice level with tasty fries and an aioli sauce. Make sure to get a gigantic mooncake"
