Probably more like a 4.5 star, but I like to give the benefit of the doubt most times.
I had the sliders instead of my regular pulled pork whenever we stop somewhere new for our weekend lunch. I make sliders and know that the window for perfection is small. These were a little over and dry, but very flavorful. I can't figure out what the spice or marinade was, but I will order them again. The dipping sauce made the sliders juicier. Fries were standard and slightly breaded, but done perfectly crispy.
My wife had the shrimp po'boy. She commented that there was far more filling than bun. Nothing wrong with that.
This may seem like a small deal, but their unlimited soda refills glass is very large so I never had to ask for a refill.
I'll go back again.
We went back again. I had the pulled pork and it was good. I like Monk's practice of not seasoning too strong and letting the customer add sauce to their liking. The Carolina pork sauce had a kick to it along with the slight sweetness.
