\"Moneecia'sMoneecia’s Kitchen<\/a> has a friendly staff that serves up some excellent soul food in a strip mall in Cottage Grove. <\/p>\n

After studying the fairly big menu, I felt I couldn’t go wrong with the wings ($15.99 for 10), and I was indeed correct. They are breaded and seasoned with lemon pepper, which added brightness to the flavor. I thoroughly enjoyed them as they were, but they also went well with the tangy sassy sauce.<\/p>\n

Other chicken items include popcorn chicken ($11.99 for 10 pieces) and a chicken wrap ($12.99).<\/p>\n

Moneecia’s has its own gyro spit, so I definitely wanted to have a gyro. They come as a dinner plate ($18.99), a super gyro ($16.99), a regular gyro ($13.99) and atop steak fries ($13.99). I ended up with the gyro burger ($15.99), which was a monstrosity that I had to cut into thirds to eat. It’s a massive patty topped with a generous helping of tasty gyro meat, plus lettuce, tomato, onion, ketchup, mustard and mayo. I found it to be a delicious and filling sandwich, so much so that I barely touched my fries.<\/p>\n

\"Moneecia'sNext time, I’ll look to tackle either the ribeye steak sandwich ($18.99) or the pork steak sandwich ($19.99).<\/p>\n

You’ll find a rotating selection of homemade desserts in the display case near the entrance. I strongly encourage you not to pass on dessert. For example, the peach cobbler ($4.99) was delicious, with the right amount of sweetness cinnamon and nutmeg.<\/p>\n

I also liked the lemon cake ($4.99), despite being a little dry, because it had the perfect combination of sweetness and lemon flavor. Other desserts include Oreo cheesecake, funnel fries and fried Snickers.<\/p>\n

Moneecia’s Kitchen is open every day for lunch and dinner. There are only three tables inside, so you may want to consider carryout.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
