Best food I've eaten in years, possibly ever! I was full but wanted to order more because it was amazing!
I was told this was a must do in Walla Walla, and now I know why. Great place! It's like a 100 year old tavern and a casual dining place had a baby. Chill atmosphere with a kinda rustic vibe. The food is delicious. I had the Smokey T. The fries are amazing! (And quite possibly addictive! ). The bartender Aspen was awesome and every bit as sweet as the Nectar of the God's IPA she recommended. Do yourself a favor and try this place if you are in Walla Walla. I noticed after I posted that it says I said 10-20 a person. Double checked, I definitely said 20-30. Just trying to be accurate. 4/8/25 Came back again and the service and food were outstanding again! Aspen, Kayla, Star and Bella are amazing! After i paid, is thanked them for a great bday. They then gave me a discount! It's 1% for each year you turn. They gave me 54% off my sandwich! So above and beyond what I expected.
Came in for some dinner and ended up going on a taco tour. The drinks were good and plentiful, but the tacos are what I remember most. All the tacos were delicious, but I'm 100% coming back for the dynamite with shrimp, rajin Cajun chicken, and the street monkey tacos.
We had such a good time at Red Monkey for dinner, we went back the next day for breakfast! We had the dragon salad (yum) and the limited time brisket tacos, which were huge!
Spacious and cozy atmosphere, got to pick where I wanted to sit and chose a table by the window with views of downtown. Was immediately greeted with a smile and warm welcome from Sam. Local beers on tap, a variety of food options, good happy hour deals. Got the half order of blue collar nachos and davinci rolls, which arrived quickly. Overjoyed they include avocado on the nachos without charging extra, completely loaded. Davinci rolls are a pizza lovers delight, especially if you can’t eat of all them and take them home to re-heat in the oven. Solid restaurant with funky decor and a whole lineup of hot sauces for you to help yourself. A reliable restaurant for families, drinks with friends or to take yourself out on a date for happy hour without breaking the bank.
All the food was good, but I highly recommend anything with the blue-collar beer cheese on it.
The fish and chips were very good. Good size portion and tasty tarter sauce. Would definitely go again! We ended up in a high traffic area the place had alot of TVs, but the interior was was just average.
Stopped in with some work colleagues for lunch and found the place to be very enjoyable. All the staff we interacted with were very friendly. The young lady taking our orders did a great job keeping track of everything and ensuring we were all satisfied. The food was delicious. Not a single person in our group had a negative thing to say about their dish! The interior is well decorated and provides a welcoming feeling. There is also some neat swag to purchase if you want to remember your visit (I did)!
