It's certainly filling, but I don't exactly get the point. A completely successful sandwich is the Johnny Come Home, layers of ham, turkey and roast beef, mozzarella and cheddar cheeses and lettuce embellished with a slightly creamy and rather spicy house dressing. Served on sourdough toast, it was excellent. Not as exciting was the Veg Head, a combination of onion, peppers, mushrooms, black olives, mozzarella cheese and lettuce and house dressing that needs tomato and perhaps cucumber to give it lift and brightness. Besides its list of domestic and imported beers, seven on draft and served by the pint, The Blue Monkey offers a short but serviceable wine list, all by the glass and most by bottle, too.
Service is considerate and efficient.
For the convivial short-haul, though, it's fine. Reviewers visit the restaurant unannounced, order from the menu, eat and pay the bill without being identified. The reports are not related to whether the restaurant advertises in The Commercial Appeal. A star rating is assigned according to performance in the areas of ambience, service and food.
