Reviews of Monica’s Family Restaurant (Catering)

Kris Toijonen

Friendly Service and a tasty breakfast!

Jake Hammell

Average breakfast, okay prices, average speed on order delivery. What's commendable about this place is you probably won't have to wait for a table

Ryan Galandy

Good home cooking. Great French onion soup.

Cheryl Chaster

Really dissapointed based on the Trip Advisor rating of "best breakfast place in town". We were visiting and didn't know where to go for breakfast so went with Monica's based on this rating. As we are in an unusual time with the Covid Pandemic, protocols in place for mask wearing, social distancing etc are also very important to us. The info on line indicated they took special care and enforced above. Signs out front of entrance also requested protocols be followed, however numerous people showed up without masks, and what really surprised us was that the only server working this busy restaurant had her mask under her chin most of the time. Clearly not taking this pandemic seriously, and therefore not enforcing customer base either. The food was cold once we got it which wasn't surprising as only 1 server working- she was obviously experienced but couldn't keep up with coffee refills, water etc. Aside from the food being cold when we received it, things like using margarine on the toast and packaged hollandaise sauce completely downgraded the food value Definately would not recommend .

It took me an hour and thirty minutes to get my order. Like wth I have never waited this long for food ever.

Walter Andreeff

Good tasty breakfast, fine service

Nolan Dyck

Decent food for the price. I had the country omlette and it was well made.

Do NOT go to this restaurant, do NOT order skip from this place. There was an issue with my meal and instead of sending another food, they insisted they sent the correct thing when they Infact did not. Not only did I have to argue with the employee and MANAGER to this restaurant but the employer LIED to me. Horribly run. Horribly managed. Honestly, if I could give 0 stars I would. I was a returning customer. They even said they know who I am. I will NO longer order from them and I hope noone else will. They told me that my food was coming TWO TIMES and it didn't show up.

Nick Kuszniryk

Great friendly atmosphere.

Anthony Burke

I had cubed hash browns, sausages, sunny side up eggs, with brown bread. It was simply a delicious breakfast. There coffee is garbage tho. Servers are nice.

Charish Tihms

Nope don't go here! The Sunday buffet was terrible. My spouse was sick after eating there. I found a butter wrapper in my whip crwam on top of my jello even! The waffles made fresh were ok. Don't put the gross old strawberries on top tho.

Sunday Brunch at Monicas is the best I have had in Grande Prairie since I have moved here! As we all know everyone eats with their eyes first and the display is fantastic, the service is excellent and the food is so deelish! I would recomend the eggs benny any day of the week!

Dallas Covert

Sunday brunch today was fantastic. Kind staff coupled with excellent food and a good selection made for an excellent experience. Our waitress Misty was fantastic. We will be back!

Shane Nett

Always love the food here

Rick K

It's home style cooking and wasn't too bad. I mean it's not fantastic but I'd eat here again. I had the vegan mashed and sausage and it was what I expected.

Scott Zigart

8 wings … $15.50 Less then a cup of butter chicken …$22.00

Rhianen Warrington

Both the food and service was decent.

Lana Kraberger

Loved it met misty

Darwin Sutherland

Friendly and decent food.

Sarah Clegg

Still has banner sign up advertising Sunday buffet but not on today. Sign should have been removed/turned around or at least 'canceled' posted on it. It doesn't take much to let people know. It's my birthday breakfast and we had chosen here. So might not be a next time as just can't be sure buffet will be on. Otherwise it was good the last time we went.

Maggie McKeague

The server was grumpy, not friendly at all

Donnie Shaw

My favorite greasy spoon

Bobby Nicholl

The best Sunday Brunch in Grande Prairie! We have become regulars. Little pricey though. $55 bucks for 2 adults.

Shea Wilson

Good food, expensive and the fact that the top portion of the restaurant wasn't it open was kind of sad. We used to sit up there all the time by the sun for supper, now we have to sit at the lower end. Besides that, service was great, food was decent, everything seemed clean!

Patrick Angus

Poorly staffed so the service was bad through no fault if the waitress as she was alone.

I travel quite a bit for work, some hotel stays are good n some are not so good. My experiences n visits with Stanford hotel have been exquisite to say the least. Over the past year I have frequented many other hotels in the area and their staff n food have been better than most and most importantly affordable. They have great housekeeping by a cute curvy brunette who does a phenomenal job, she keeps my room fresh n clean always. A pleasant surprise for when I return back to my room from my busy day. They have a gym that I have used in the past which is unfortunately closed due to COVID19. My mornings have always blessed with good energy when I stay n that makes a huge difference. The girls at Monica's do an amazing job at making u feel welcome when we were able to dine in and now they offer room service to your door delivered by the boys Yogi, Joseph n Duke, even when it's -20c outside, it's still hot n ready for u so compliments to the chef ! The front desk staff have done a great job making my stay memorable, from issuing breakfast vouchers to saving me with new room key cards when I have locked myself out of my room, their hospitality has been 5 star. If u ask me what separates them from the rest, I would say it's the staff hands down. If I had to offer constructive criticism or negative feedback there's a few things that come to mind. To start I would say the bathroom could use a little reno fix up, some rooms the hanger fittings on the back of the bathroom door are missing n the toilette clogs easily sometimes. But overall my visits have been good n staff is willing to go above n beyond to deliver fantastic service. So enjoy your visit if u try them n don't forget to leave a tip for their stellar service. Thanks for having me! ????

Humpty's was backed up, so I googled breakfast in Grande Prairie... Monica's came up in the top 10, so we gave it a try... wonderful! Delightful waitress, food arrived fresh and hot.

Dawn Willson

Fantastic food!! The waitress was so friendly, great way to start the morning. Thank you so much!! ????

Vanessa Manysiak

Wonderful staff and great Sunday buffet.

Richard Ferris

You go here for the view more than the food however the food is quite edible. The view is entirely awesome and more than makes up for the crowded small facility. If you're killing time at the tram waiting for a down car this is a good way to do it

kevin mcisaac

Excellent skillet breakfast

Frank Misura

The food is excellent, filling portion sizes and reasonably priced. However another striking item is the excellent service and care given by YOGI. His personality and knowledge is above reproach. The whole meal is a worthwhile experience because of him. He truly has your taste buds and satisfaction upper most in his mind.

Susan Jensen

Good food and service

Haigen Pavan

Great food and professional atmosphere.

Colin Nowicki

Rick Thomas

Good food

Miranda Ouellette

Great food

Tracy Podaima

Great food and even better service

Mariamne Barendregt

They should have more staff on duty during lunch hour... Got cold food. And for poutine they should use shredded cheese and not cheese curds. But otherwise it's good.

Francois Paradis

Sunday brunch is worth it

Richard Pynn

Great hideaway pub!

julian landry

Horrible customer service.. they advertise being open till 2pm.. when in fact there not..

David Hemphill

Michelle Christian

Great Food & Friendly Staff

Kariann Durbano

How are we supposed to view the menu when this message pops up? You could have a new customer or two but we can't view the menu.

Tanya Dunn

Food was fantastic and very quick and great service. Will definitely go back

Jeff Muir

Poor, slow service... The coffee cup was empty before the food hit the table and wasn't refilled til the food was finished. Not impressed.x

John Anderson

Good food decent price and great service

nathan bosch

Service was the only reason it got more then 1 star. Price was far too high for such low quality of food. Edit: in regards to your reply 20 dollars is far to much for really bad potatoes with processed cheese and eggs. If you want some feedback better quality food would be it.

Laurel Christensen

We shared a lovely supper of steak and shrimp. It is a lovely atmosphere.Excellent service and very pleasant staff. Very good size portions. Overall it was a very nice experience

Dwayne Wipf

randy mason

Im the only one in here and still have to ask for coffee service sucks

Isaac Braun

Good food and friendly staff and average prices

Rose S

Yummy food very friendly serving stafg

Sue Reid

Excellent Sunday brunch buffet!

Lori Olson

Super disappointing brunch. Salads were all crusted over from sitting too long or who knows. The hot food was cold(pancakes, French toast, eggs Benedict) or barely warm (sausages, bacon) the roast beef was nice but not with instant potatoes and very odd packaged gravy. I’ve never been anywhere without coffee being included or an array of fresh juices so drinks disappointed as well. The dessert display was good for my usual lack of willpower over sweets-it was very easy to skip it.

Keith planidin

We found the meal portions were considerably smaller than before and also very disappointed that you let Shirley go was a very good waitress and a long time employee. Not good

Blake Deman

Have been here a few and will keep coming back very good food a decent price as well.

Lannie Nuckols

Had tasty, authentic butter chicken on special. Everything cooked perfectly and full of flavour. Our server Yogi was very courteous and helpful. He went out of his way to make sure we were satisfied. The chili chicken was perfectly spiced and Yogi came to make sure it was right.

Arlene Christensen

Food was good and fairly fast for as busy as the restaurant was.

Hannah Bates

Amazing service and food! I always love going!!!

Blake Armstrong

Always good food ... under staffed. Poor girl it's a big room

Jeannette Dearing

Ryan

Food cooked by the best guy in town!!!

Brian Bartsch

They recently just started their lunch buffet again and I have to say it was really quite delicious. All the food was homemade and the staff was attentive and friendly. I will go again and if the experience is similar I can see myself going there more often..

Ashley Zwolak

It was a restaurant ! With food and people

Marian Menard

Rita Beck

Food is good. Nothing fancy but tastes good. Service pretty good too. Reasonable prices.

Alfred Henkel

First day of reopened lunch buffet.????

Dale Willard

Overpriced, poor portion size. Not one of my 5 was happy with it.

Ashley Cross

The food is always good! I do miss their buffer but with COVID Thats not happening. But when it was allowed to happen it was our favourite every Sunday! Now we visit for lunch occasionally and it’s been great food every time! Always hot and delicious.

Matthew Morrison

I brought a date here a few weeks ago. All in all, this place gave me mixed feelings. My date was a vegetarian and with everything under restrictions at this time, I found Monica's vegetarian menu excellent for its variety. Myself, I've never gone for vegetarian options but decided to give their vegan sausage dinner a try. The mashed potato's though good were very heavy and could feel it go down and stay for some time. The sausages were quite good, and worth a try. As far as quantity and quality goes, it was quite hearty and looked great! Prior to our visit, I had spoken to a woman named Betty on the phone about the menu and after explaining the situation of my interest, she arranged to have Carnations put on my table. Betty was wonderful in her customer service and her efforts were appreciated. The service was insufficient, and slightly uncomfortable. For the majority of our stay we were the only customers. The gentleman who served us sat in the corner and had been staring at my date for sometime, she is beautiful but it was unwelcoming. When it came too our drinks we sat with empty cups for long periods of time. When we had finished eating, the gentleman who had served us did not return to the table. After an hour or more I had to go to him and ask for a refill. Throughout our visit he was very dissonant and our service quality declined from start to finish. During our stay, the owner offered to buy us drinks, it was kind and flattering. As neither of us drink, we humbly declined. The offer was appreciated. Towards the end, unknown too me, someone was exclaiming 'Hail Hitler'. Unfortunatly, this, compiled with our service; we decided that we won't be returning. Should you look to Monica's for take out or delivery, I recommend this establishment wholeheartily. Alas, your dine in may be met similarily to ours and I suggest you avoid such an occurance.

jonah krahn

Very small meals and way overpriced. Not really a family restaurant more high class

Britney Fredrickson

Food was overpriced for what you get also did not taste good

timothy tangen

mathew olynyk

Wasn't as good as told

Aaron Moore

Misty is absolutely amazing she needs a raise ... so welcoming so helpful and polite see her ever time i come here

John Maloney

Food was not good. Buffett was cold. Only bright side was the service. Then it cost $ 45.00 for that.

Double AA Ron

Had breakfast here two days, as it is at the hotel I was staying at. Servers were friendly and attentive both days. The first day I had ham, poached eggs and shredded hashbrowns. I wasn't a fan of the hashbrowns, but the ham and eggs were good. Second day I had over easy eggs and sausage with cubed hash browns. I liked the hashbrowns much better, but would get the ham or try the bacon next time. Wasn't too fussy about the sausage. I enjoyed the music that was playing, and it seemed like the average customer there would also like it. Didn't see any customer wait more than a couple mins for a table, in spite of the proper table spacing for physical distancing guidelines.

nathan mcdonell

Get breakfast from here every morning, very good and friendly and go the extra mile for the customer

Nedved Mason

The food here is top quality and well prepared. Good value for money. Highly recommend.

Linda Thomas

Friendly service. Asked for soft poached eggs. One was soft one was hard. Everything else was delicious!

Babe Kennedy

Food was good. Didn't like the burger it tastes like frozen gross burgers. Potato skins are good, my dad's steak was under cooked but he was Ok with it. Tossed salad is good the popcorn shrimp was good the boys said.

Jim Smith

Very good place for breakfast. Good food and usually quite.
