Hathaway's is a Monroe institution, seeming to have been there forever. It's basic fried chicken with generous servings of sides. I prefer this place to any of the chain chicken places, so if I want fried chicken, this is where I go. The décor (if you can call it that) appears to have changed very little over the years, and that's OK. The only side item that I do NOT like is the baked beans. They are flavorless and taste like pork n beans from a can.
