The garden was nice, but this families history is what you need to catch. Biedenharn started the Coca-cola bottling. A son invested in Delta crop spraying - soon to become Delta Airlines. Very interesting and a charming staff. Oh, don’t miss the Bible museum!

Fascinating Coca-Cola museum, absolutely beautiful garden, but I loved most of all touring the Biedenharn home! Our tour guide, Lily, brought the history in each room to life! We’ll definitely visit again!

We bought tickets to tour the house when we purchased tickets to see the Coke museum next door. It is a curiously designed building which, if I remember correct, was told cost $6,000 when it was built in 1913. (one guide said 1916 so not sure which date was correct.) It was the property of the childless Emma Louise who toured Europe as a singer until WWII and returned home and never moving again. After her father died she bought out her brothers and began redecorating to her varied tastes: ending with a Oriental ensemble. The extensive gardens were her idea as her father loved his vegetable garden, chickens and pigs. (There was at least one pig that would get a Coke every day.) She tore all that up and installed a replica of the European gardens she saw in her years in Europe. No pigs, and no chickens, but lots of tropical and semi-tropical plants. She had permission from her father to go down to New Orleans and purchase a statue for the garden and returned home with five. Fascinating history about the family that put a bottle of Coke into millions of hands over the past hundred and more years.

We went here recently for the scarecrow competition followed by the outdoor movie, The Wizard of Oz. We were thoroughly impressed with the beauty of the garden and the overall facilities. The staff was very friendly and were very patient with of all the kids. Worth a visit is you have downtime in Monroe.

This was an unexpectedly great spot to visit in Monroe! The Coca Cola museum was neat and included a nice cold coke to walk around the gardens with. The house itself was beautiful and Bible museum very interesting as well. The staff/guides were very friendly and engaging and explained everything thoroughly. Definitely worth the stop!

Monroe, Louisiana, has a great historic museum concerning the family and business of Coca-Cola in Louisiana. In addition to the family story leading up to the invention of bottling their beverage, additional nearby locations provide insights to eminent family members and their lifestyles. For a nice overview of the creation of the beverage itself, and the development of the bottling process and product placement and distribution, this museum is truly a diamond. Helpful and informative staff describe and provide tour information including a separate mansion having extensive grounds, and an adjacent Bible Museum having an extensive collection. And where else can you get a nice cold Coca-Cola for 5 cents?

Nice place to visit in Monroe. The Coca Cola exhibit is fairly small. You can probably see everything in 10 minutes. The Bible museum can be seen in about 15 minutes. The gardens about 10-15 minutes. The house can take longer based on the tour. It's a neat house, although the renovations from the 70's tended to be a bit gaudy. Friendly staff. Overall plan on an hour to visit.

We visited antique alley Thursday November 14th. The old town area has alot of old antique buildings. But if you’re looking for antiques we only found 3-4 that actually had antique furniture and some old items. That’s why I only rated it a 3 star. With a name like antique alley, I thought all the stores would have antiques. It’s a quant little area in town. Could be a lot of fun shopping if you’re not just looking for antiques.

Love Trenton St! Memory Lane Antiques on Antique Ally has the best! Mr. Ed and Mrs. Virginia are the nicest ever!

Stopped by a couple of stores but there is a antique store that sells coins I could have spent all day there looking it was great. They had everything you could ever ask for and then some

This was okay. I thrift every single weekend so I decided to give this a go. It was a long drive for me because I live in Bossier. About half of the “Antique Alleyway” is boutiques, or shops selling what are clearly dropshipped items from Amazon or Temu (mixed in with genuine antiques). There were 3 or 4 really good stores that sold only vintage items. However, they were extremely expensive. There was one store I absolutely adored with an older gentleman working the front. He’s bald with a silver beard. I thought he was very fair on his prices. I bought some beanie babies from him today. He had a wide selection of cool items. I wish I could remember the name of his store. It was densely packed with all sorts of glassware, jewelry, old toys, and vintage tchotchkes. All in all, I wouldn’t say it was worth the travel time and gas. I don’t think I’ll be back. It was a lovely drive though!

The light were fun. They could use some updates or maybe set them up a little different. Dismemberment is looking great. Wish the stores stepped up the displays a bit.

Very " vintage". Nice hustle n flow. Very old yet happy

Wish there were more antique stores and flea market stores. The name implies that there would be, but it's more specialty and boutique shops.

I had an amazing experience at this hotel! The room was quite nice, the owner was very friendly, and the location is really nice. We were able to walk to a nearby establishment for dinner and then hang out on the balcony enjoying the sunset over this adorable little town. I’d highly recommend staying here!

This weekend was a Gold Star event in Baton Rouge and my family came in on Friday and stayed all weekend here . Its. A beautiful Inn with adorable rooms with great Atmosphere. The large room , with great Amenities from the large kitchen and bathrooms . Great stay and will be telling everyone .

Our first time in this part of the country, and this was the perfect place to stay. Beautifully and lovingly restored inn, welcoming and gracious hosts, delicious breakfasts, and the absolute most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. The roof deck is so nice. Thank you to our hosts!

This is absolutely a wonderful little hidden gem of a location! The prices are better than the local hotels, with superior amenities and a fresh cooked breakfast. Restaurants are in walking distance too. I've definitely found my regular haunt for Monroe!

The local Chamber has been hosting a series of Marketing events here . Such a great location for small groups . Great kitchen and serving area . Plenty of seating . Super clean and showcases our downtown vitality .

Had a amazing experience at this great B & B! Amazing Host! Beautiful and Clean rooms! Clawfoot Tub! 10/10! The Breakfast was amazing! We will be back!

My family booked all the rooms for my niece's wedding and were blown away with how beautiful it was. Each room is decorated beautifully and the common areas as well. The patio and large porch are perfect for hanging out. Sean cooked a great breakfast each day and was an amazing host. The location was perfect as you are right on the main street for shopping, eating, and drinking. Thank You for an amazing stay and there were a few of us that wanted to take the beautiful decor home with us! I will definitely rebook a stay here!!! Just gorgeous!!!

I personally couldn’t give 5 stars because of the lack of toppings on my pizza, as I usually only eat meat and like to splurge and have pizza from time to time, so this is just a personal preference. Fun atmosphere, my friends salad which I did take a pic of and taste the fresh mozzarella cheese, it’s was yummy! The whole esthetic is fun and we enjoyed sitting outside on the patio afterwards! Weather was pretty cool, plenty of fans, and clean bathroom! You do order at the counter then sit, fyi!

Friendly and welcoming staff. Beer was a fantastic variety. The Chennault was absolutely delicious!

This place has no business being this good. The beers... I hate to admit it but every city I go to I try to find the best IPA the area offers. They may not want to call their beers IPAs for fear of scaring people off but they are phenomenal. The service is impeccable (EXTREMELY friendly people) and the atmosphere is nice (stereotypical brewery with a dash of local WWII history) despite it's location in the concrete jungle area of Monroe. The pizza is great. Get a side of ranch. Take a four pack to go. You can't ask for anything nicer. And it's in Monroe! Yes, right here! It's world class.

Monroe has needed a place like this. It's fun to use as a party spot for a group. There is a great outdoor area with games (giant blocks and corn hole and some ring game) as well as tables and a large TV under the covered area. There are several tables under this covered area outside. There are dart boards and pinball machines inside as well as comfortable sitting areas with large chairs and sofas. The beer is great. I think their small batch beers that are only available at this site are their best work. They have everything from lighter Blonde, to Double IPA, to Milk Stouts to Saison. There is something for every beer lover. They will even let you bring your own food for a large party for only a small clean up fee. You need to book this early though, as their calendar is BUSY with events. A great group of guys own this place. It's always a good time. Update: Specialty pizza did not disappoint.

They may have started as just a brewery, but they have certainly figured out the pizza. They may have the best brick oven style pizza of anywhere within 100 miles. Their amber is good too. It’s become an almost weekly treat for us.

Stellar brews and food. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Truly miss your stuff being distributed to south Louisiana. May have to make this a periodic pilgrimage!

The food is amazing!! Crispy, wood fired, flavorful pizza was everything I wanted it to be. Our order came out super fast right out of the oven too. We got The Claire and the kale salad. My husband and I don’t drink so I didn’t really know what to expect but I was so impressed. We went for date night and loved the cozy vibes outside with lights, picnic tables, and heaters. We got salad, pizza, cokes, and brought a board game to play. The staff was so friendly too! Loved it and we will be back to try out all the different pizzas!

Really a 10 out of 5 stars!! Stopped by on a whim headed to Trapp's and was pleasantly surprised! The owner and his wife were so nice and very informed. We did the free tasting and ended up purchasing 2 of the bottles! We will most definitely be back for a tour when we are able! Congrats to y'all, y'all are doing a great job!

We travel I-20 from GA to TX at least once a year and Trapp’s is our regular dinner stop. just discovered Two Warriors - friendly folks and we really enjoyed the bottle of Dust Off we bought. Couldn’t stay for a full tasting but appreciated their eagerness to help us choose the right bottle for our tastes. Hoping we might have time to stay longer next trip.

Ordered 2 bottles online and was not disappointed at all. The order was packed and shipped shortly after I ordered. The packaging itself for the 2 bottles was superb. Fantastic meads, 10/10 would recommend!

Wonderful experience. So friendly and welcoming. Got to try 6 different flavors. I HATE honey, but walked out with a bottle of Mayhaw Madness. It is delicious!! 10/10 recommend.

Amazing mead! The owner is very personable and takes his time explaining all the flavors! Will defiantly come back!

Never knew this place existed. Tasted several flavors & enjoyed an informative tour. Great addition to Monroe culture.

Local meadery using local grown ingredients. Very good tasting meads. There is a sampling available.

Everything about this experience was 10/10. Service at the bar was outstanding. The wine selection was also very good especially if you love Orin Swift wines. The Duck Wraps had great flavor and were not spicy at all for the jalapeño. The biscuits were fluffy with a nice crunch. The butter paired very well. Now for the show stopper. That deer camp meatloaf. This was recommended. It did not disappoint. Was packed with flavor and the Brussels were in a class of their own (I asked for mine burnt as my personal preference) I hard ever have a kitchen actually make my Brussels how I request so this for me was outstanding. Not pictured was an espresso martini that was also made well.

Cool place. Dinner choices are limited. I got the redfish, which was tasty, but still had scales on the skin and lots of bones. Otherwise, it was good The duck wrapped with bacon was...well, the bacon overpowered the duck. All in all, great atmosphere, food was tasty, but needed some refinement, our server lacked a personality. Attentive to our needs, but not much more. The place has a great feel. I will give it another chance.

Heather “Mama” is the most amazing server I’ve ever had! I have always been someone proud of my cooking. And I have felt for a long time that I could cook better food than anywhere else in town…. Until today. The deviled eggs were amazing, the duck wraps were drop dead delicious, and the deer camp meatloaf will ruin your mama’s, grandma’s, and any other meatloaf you’ve ever had! The banana pudding will make you melt and the old fashioned will have you canceling plans just to sit and savor it! By far… the best restaurant in town.

Good southern themed cuisine with friendly service. The menu is a little limited for dinner especially in my opinion, but the food is solid and good. I've eaten here twice now, and it always seems busy and popular with locals too. Plenty of parking out front. Had the BLT salad last time and it was delicious, didn't need to add protein as it was filling. Tonight I had the burger, Essentially a smashburger, it was good as well.

I was traveling through Monroe on business last night and happened upon this restaurant. How lucky! What a fantastic meal I had of the shrimp and grits, honeysuckle lemonade, and skillet cookie. And Brandi behind the bar was so welcoming and helpful in making my dinner choices since everything sounded so good and I couldn’t decide. Wonderful experience, thank you!

Food was delicious! Deviled eggs are hands down my favorite-the best in town. Filet was cooked perfectly-medium rare and brussel sprouts were so yummy! Heather are server was a 10/10! We’ll be back!

When you first go in you notice the atmosphere and nostalgia of the place. Lots of history. Our server, Heather, was on top of everything and very helpful in suggesting items to try on their menu. It made our wedding anniversary dinner extra special. Heather and the staff all took time to sign a card and congratulate us on our 27th wedding anniversary. AND they gave us a complimentary slice of cheesecake (not seen in the picture because it stayed on the plate for all of about 3 minutes before being devoured! Yum!!) The the chef also came out and congratulated us in inquired how everything was. If anything, COTTON has got service down pat! Will be coming back.

Definitely a nice place for a date or special occasion and not so much for solo dining. I looked up their menu online before coming and was really looking forward to a dish that apparently they no longer serve. Instead I decided to go with 3 appetizers to get a good sampling. I enjoy sweet potatoes and especially sweet potato pancakes so when I saw sweet potato bread I had to have it! Unfortunately this was the worst thing I ordered, there is no sweet potato in it apparently "milk" from it only and the salt on top was too much, sugar would have probably been nice, oh well. Brussel Sprouts were good and the mint was a very nice touch. Lastly the gnocchi was solid. I would probably return for a special occasion but not solo. Enjoy.

Visiting from out of town and already been to Parish twice in a week. Love the freshness of ingredients and how often the menu changes. The kale + collard caesar salad is one I will dream of and look forward to coming back for whenever I'm in northern LA. The miso deviled eggs were delicious although a bit salty. The Alaskan halibut with whipped celery root was DIVINE. The spice crusted seared tuna dish was an interesting dish - great fish quality. Unfortunately, the tiramisu donut concoction that was recommended by chef was far from my favorite and a disappointing end note to an otherwise amazing meal. The donut is extremely bready - not fresh fried - and the espresso + coffee ice cream was lacking flavor. Calling this dish "tiramisu" is misleading as it doesn't really taste tiramisu forward. I love ingenuity in food, but at the end of the day, it's gotta taste good and be craveable, which it's not. And i shared the dish with my neighbor at the bar who also didnt love it. Sometimes these things are a miss, and that's okay too! Wondering if I can fit in one more night before I leave just to get dessert redemption 🤔😅

We stopped here for our anniversary dinner on our way to Florida. It was amazing! Delicious food, great service, and a great atmosphere! Will definitely be making a trip again! If you are driving through or staying in the area, you should definitely check it out!

Food was amazing! I had the night special soft shell crab I believe it was called and my husband had the steak with truffle fries. Everything tasted amazing

Had a great dining experience at The Parrish. To start the service was excellent, Dillion was outstanding, very knowledgeable about the drinks and menu and made some great suggestions. Bartenders made excellent DIRTY Martinis. We started off with Hearth Baked Sweet Potato Bread & Duck Wraps in a syrup glaze both were delicious. Wine selection was plentiful and wide variety. Main course for us ranged from Pan Roasted Tasmania Salmon with sweet pea risotto. Which my Dad said was excellent. my Mother had the Louisiana Shrimp & Smoked Tasso Scampi. The pasta was homemade and delightful. We shared the Berkshire Pork Shank and gravy. It was more than enough for two people. We finished the night off with Bread Pudding with a bread pudding connoisseur at the table, said it was the best she ever had. The only negative thing I can say is it was a little noise but might have just been our location and how busy they were. Which is great to see on a Tuesday night. Thank you for a great dining experience we will be back when back in Monroe.

Food was delicious, per usual. The duck wraps are phenomenal and the whipped burrata was unreal. Never had any complaints with anything on their menu so this being less than a 5 star review is a bit hard to write. Would give 5 stars but I deducted because I am a little disappointed we couldn't use the gift cards we had. Our best friends gifted them to us two Christmases ago but there's somehow no record they were purchased and they had no verifiable balance, so we had to pay out of pocket - which wasn't expected for my husband's birthday dinner. The manager did state they had issues with their gift cards "a couple years back" but I don't feel that much investigating was done past the initial "there's no record of this" so it was a bit disappointing. Rule of thumb: don't let gift cards go past a year. Couple months to be safe. Otherwise great food.

Food and atmosphere were amazing! Though I took some leftovers to-go and found a small hair in the butter, nasty. Other than that, would recommend. Response: The butter that I took home was packaged in a separate container and it was new so we had not interacted with that before opening it to eat it the next day.

Neat place on the river in Monroe, LA. Stopped in while on a Thompson Towing & Recovery rescue trip between Mississippi and Texas. We were not disappointed. Comfortable, relaxed atmosphere. Good beer selection. Lots of options on the menu. Usual fare and lots of seafood selections. Blacken tuna is good. Gumbo is good. Seafood nachos were really good. Service was good but not crazy fast. Great setting. Will stop in again.

The fried Catfish platter has 6-8 pieces with 2 sides. I had the yams and homemade chips as my sides. Good stuff! My brother and sis in law had the 2 burgers deal with a side each... Fries and asparagus, it looked amazing and they really liked it. The river view was cool especially at golden hour. The whole atmosphere was great. Our waitress was so kind, props to her because she held my platter as I was taking tourist photos. 😊

On road trip & saw reviews for Trapps so stopped. Was a bit apprehensive about outside. Walking in wasn't much better. Just didn't seem clean. We sat outside & the view was a muddy river and weeds. Abby was our server & she was good. Hubby got the shrimp, crab & corn bisque. Mostly tasted like corn chowder. I had the gumno & it was ok. The boudin was ok. I think southern cajun food beats this food. Definitely had better.

Casual riverfront restaurant with outdoor and indoor dining. Local vibe but welcoming. Huge portions. Seafood nachos were excellent and fried catfish was perfectly cooked, crispy and delicious! Good beer selection. Our service from Casen was top shelf!

This atmosphere was fantastic. We sat outside to view the river while eating. We had a great waitress. The food was bountiful and wonderful. We will definitely stopped here again when we travel through Louisiana. It was well worth it!

Noise level was acceptable. The shrimp, fish, and fries were perfect. The gumbo was ok at best. It was thick and lacked the authentic gumbo taste in my opinion. My mom is from Morgan City. The staff was very helpful and helped me bring our order to my vehicle. I'll return for sure.

The fried pickles and the gumbo were great. Little loud on the patio when the train goes by, but not bad otherwise.

It was my husband and I first time in a few nights ago we came in excited to try some good bbq as we have heard nothing but good things. We ordered Togo but went inside to check it out and pick up. The first thing we noticed was the lack of customer service the girl at the first desk seemed to hate being there and she didn’t once speak or smile at us and when we did ask or talk to her she pointed to a different counter saying we pick up there like we were bothering her. We get to the next counter to be told they don’t have what we ordered for the Cuban which was the only reason we even came it’s hard to find a good Cuban around! We adjusted our order and went on about our business waiting. Finally we were called to get our food handed our food as she was talking to another employee and that was that. No have a great night or anything. The brisket was really good so it did make up for the lack of customer service and we are hoping it was just a bad day/night and they were off. We will try again because the food was good. The portions are a little small to be a bbq place and ordering on Texas toast you expect a big sandwhich but again it was good so it made up for it. When you go in somewhere you want to feel welcomed! Customer service is what drives your people back not just the good food!

Nice dive! Brisket quesadilla was great! House chips were crispy and smoky. The spicy BBQ sauce has just the right amount of heat. The sweet BBQ sauce was a little too sweet for me. The chipotle sauce that came with the quesadilla was amazing. My wife ordered a spud with brisket. She would have preferred real butter and real cheese instead of what she was given. Great atmosphere. Great service. The outside patio was perfect for dining this time of year. Parking is limited but there is public parking across the street. They take precautions for those who have Celiac or are sensitive to Gluten. Super nice folks!

My first time and I was pleasantly surprised. Everyone was friendly, the service was great. Very clean and busy when we stopped for lunch, 2 minute wait and found the last table inside. The special today was pork belly, so I had to try it and it was definitely ☆☆☆☆☆

The staff were very friendly and my food came out fast. Appetizer with an entree was just under $30 before a tip, but every single bite was delicious. Definitely quality over quantity, which is perfectly fine. Overall a great place to eat.

Cool place with nice outside seating. The ribs were small not much meat on them but they were cooked well. They only have sweet or spicy bbq sauce I was told they didn't have plain original. The brisket was good as well as was the sausage. Nice place good atmosphere but in my opinion the bbq was nothing exquisite.

Stopped here as we were passing through town on our way back to Dallas. So glad we did! Easy to get to from the interstate. BBQ was really really good! Owner was present and made sure we received everything we ordered correctly and more. Extremely polite fella. Everybody was awesome. Did I mention how good the BBQ was? We will make this our regular interim spot for rest and good food. Can't wait to get back!

My first visit ever and everything was absolutely delicious! There’s literally no barbecue place that comes close in taste. Down to the flavor of the meat, sauces, and that potato salad were unlike anything I’ve had at any BBQ spot before! You can tell they carefully trim and prep the meat before cooking it which I can appreciate!

My wife and I went here on a date night and the staff were so friendly! We felt like family. Had a live pianist playing and the vibe was just right. We told them we were sharing a main course and they came out with the dish already portioned out on two plates! Drinks were very good as well they had all kinds of choices.

On a work trip and came here for lunch. We got the Cajun catfish which was delicious and the jalapeño cheese grits weren't spicy at all. We also got the seafood queso (which was a special that day) and it was phenomenal. Our waitress Taylor was extremely nice and helped answer all the questions we had. The atmosphere gives a historic vibe but being on the water you may not think otherwise. Overall a fantastic restaurant with great food and great people and we will be back next time we are in town.

First restaurant my now husband took me to when we were dating 40 years ago. Still love the food and atmosphete. Took our children and grand children this time to celebrate their anniversary. Staff was great, took pictures of our special occassion, and of course the food was awesome! Thanks Warehouse for the great time AND your patience with our grandchildren! Lol!

Fabulous dinner. Great service, great food in a very unique setting. Ribeye with Oscar was very tasty. A little on the upper scale. Went in dressed in jeans and t-shirts and felt under dressed but no biggie. Our waitresses was wonderful.

This place is DELICIOUS! Had a hard time deciding on what to order because everything sounded so good, but my waiter gave great recommendations and they did not disappoint! Definitely try the redfish with jalapeño grits…I don’t even eat grits, but these were exceptional! Drinks are really tasty and service was great. Definitely check this place out if you’re visiting Monroe. Oh, and the hushpuppies are way too good to eat just one.

It was a great experience for my granddaughter's honor roll accomplishments to celebrate her. She chose a restaurant she only 7 years old.I wish I had remembered the gentleman that was our waiter he was so kind and patience with her.He made her feel really special.

Good atmosphere. A wide selection of local draft beers. The fried food is delicious and the fish is also very well cooked.
