The only restaurant in Monroe that used to be worth a damn was river and rail, and the locals ran that off because they'd rather eat at applebees.



Good lord. River and Rail was one of the shittiest restaurants in Monroe. The only thing it had going for it was the building itself. The reason it closed was because it had shitty food and service. It has been converted to a place called SQ's, an Italian type place of which I have heard mixed reviews.

To the OP, most of the better local places are closed on Sunday. Trio, Daqs and Portico should be open as well as most of the Mexican places. And of course the aforementioned Applebees and Interstate chain places.

Balls, I feel sorry for that young lad. Not to ever get to go to good places above portico, and to be out in the world with such limited cranial matter.

The other question: Is there anything non- chain open on a Sunday night?

Add Cormier's for crawfish, Taste of India for Indian, and Athena for Greek.

Crawfish City in WM will likely be open, too, I'd think.

I heard that it went down when I heard it had closed.... From what I remember a few years ago the food was pretty awesome. The chef would do really awesome steak specials for awhile... then he stopped cause no one would order it. There was also a bartender there that would make unbelievable fresh signature margaritas... but no one ordered them and the fresh ingredients began costing to much for him to continue that....a few of the things that lent itself to my above no one there supports nice things point.

Sorry to have set off the I-20 war.
Thanks for the only useful response. Portico looks fine. Any recommendation on a good Mexican food place?
