Monument Cafe

A cafe; every small, old town has one. You know, that place that looks so run down, but then you decide to give it a chance and try it out. As soon as you walk in, there is the homey feel to it; all the employees smiling, the customers enjoying their wonderful meal, and the cooks, laughing and having a good time. That's exactly the feeling i get when i went to the Monument Cafe for dinner on Tuesday night.
The night started out a little rough, i just had gotten back to SU after driving in rain, fog, and lots of traffic. My boyfriend came down form UMHB to come see me and take me out to dinner. At first i was a little hesitant because i was tired and what not, but he convinced me to get out of the dorm and go out to eat. He lets me decide where i would prefer dinner, and after a long time debating between Chipotle or Monument Cafe, i finally decided on Monument Cafe.
We drive up, and all i see is a sea of cars. My first thought was that we leave and go to Chipolte, but my boyfriend talked me into staying. We walk in and get seated almost instantly, and our food and drink orders are taken immediately. After about a 10-15 minute wait, his chicken fried streak, and my cheeseburger are brought to us. We finish our food and then we decide that we want to spilt a dessert. We look at the dessert menu and we both agreed on the homemade banana spilt.
From everything being organic and home grown, the meal was absolutly delicious! I would gladly recommend that cafe to anyone! And, it wasn't too expensive. I mean, two college students could afford it.
Please, when you have an urge to go out for a meal, please try the Monument Cafe!
