McClellan’s at Monarch Cafe’

As a first time guest I’m blown away! (My husband was too and he’s a picky foodie). Absolutely incredible meal. I had the catfish, sweet potatoes, fried corn and mashed potatoes. We also tried the friend chicken tenders- by far the best in South Carolina. Well done.

Finally got the chance to try this place, the restaurant is small , with a industrial vibe decor, we arrived on valentines day , it was set up as a buffet with all the fixings. Shrimp n grits. Waffles, sausage, bacon , eggs, fried chicken, biscuits,home fries, some varieties of beverages ..it was delicious 😋 the staff was wonderful and very welcoming, the food delicious and that chicken 🐔 cheff kiss 💋 lip smacking . Overall score 10/10 well done 👏 ✔️ 👍 👌 🙌 😀

One of my favorite restaurants in Spartanburg. This is my go to pick when I have guests in town I want to impress. I’ve never had a bad meal here. Chef Bill is amazing and the whole staff is friendly and provides great service.

We went for the Sunday buffet and got there right as they opened so everything was fresh and hot. Staff was attentive and friendly. The food? My goodness! I tried everything: the catfish (pretty standard flavor and good), fried chicken (super crispy with a slight sweet flavor), turkey-stuffing roulade (tender with very light gravy), lamb chops (really neat to see these on a buffet), Mac and cheese (nothing spectacular but still really good), mashed potatoes (really thick and creamy—should have gone back for seconds), greens (had smoked turkey chunks and sausage, not vinegary and perfect consistency) sweet potato casserole (not overly sweet-a plus), and green beans with mushrooms (the mushrooms had a very smoky taste that I loved but I could see it being a turn-off for some). Banana pudding

The service here is just as unforgettable as the food. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm, friendly faces that made us feel right at home. The staff was incredibly attentive. It’s the kind of hospitality that makes you feel like family and turns a great meal into an unforgettable experience. We visited this soul food restaurant for the first time, and wow—Chef Patricia truly knows what she’s doing. The fried fish came out perfectly crispy, the fried chicken was juicy with incredible seasoning, and the BBQ chicken had that smoky, tender flavor I love. The mac and cheese was rich and creamy, and the ribs fell off the bone. As a first-timer, I was blown away. We are already planning our next visit!
