What people say, in short
Commenters recommend Monell's for Southern dining, with praise for its unlimited-food format. One particularly likes the corn pudding, and another favors the breakfast. Access is a caution: two commenters raise concerns about wheelchairs in the older, tight building. A critic thinks the appeal is more about quantity than food quality.
