Customer Review Summary
Diners repeatedly point to the grilled chicken chef salad and the Smoky Mountain chicken sandwich on croissant as lunch favorites, with the homemade onion rings, patty melt, and club sandwich also drawing praise, and several reviewers single out the warm, attentive service and home cooking as reasons they return. Close behind, a few call out standout single items like a memorable burger and tater tots fried to order. Complaints are limited but specific: one reviewer describes a shrimp poboy served on a hotdog bun and a rude phone response when they questioned it, and another reports a DoorDash order where the mac and cheese tasted like boxed pasta and the quesadilla chicken was mushy and bland, a letdown they contrast with their usual good experiences there. Most reviews close on satisfaction with the comfortable, antique-decorated dining room and staff who greet guests personally at the door.

“I had a delicious club sandwich and a side of homemade onion rings. The employees were all very kind. If I ever visit Monroeville again, I'll return for another good lunch.”

“Court House Cafe is a regular stop on the lunch rotation for me. I have the grilled chicken chef salad and can barely finish the small. Another favorite is the Smoky Mountain chicken sandwich on a croissant. You have to try the COB sauce …”

“We eat here often, but had a not so great doordash experience. Mac and cheese was literally Kraft easy mac, and the chicken in the quesadilla was mush and had no flavor at all. A little disappointed based on the usual great experiences.”
- Smith
“Ordered a shrimp poboy and got it on a hotdog bun. Called and the person that answered was very rude about it. Stated that it's the kind of hoagie buns that they get. She proceeded to ask someone in the background and they stated that it has nothing to do with it. I was only trying to see if any buns besides hotdog buns were in for a shrimp poboy.”
- Matthew Kolek
“Awesome little diner in downtown Monroeville, Al. The service and our meals were awesome! Best dang burger I've had in a long time. We will definitely be back!”
