Daily seafood specials and very affordable . Food is made to order and the fries are hand cut, delicious food. I will be going back to try their soft shell crab sandwiches when they have them in season.
A small menu, but if they specialize in seafood, that's ideal. They have fresh whole fish on ice you can pick and have them cook for you, like the fishing vessel just dropped them off. This place is always absolutely jammed on the weekends. The staff are all really casual and personable. Fun hole-in-the-wall atmosphere.
Go for lunch. Trust me. It's in that building with all of the various shops so it's just a deli side counter. But wow the food is good. The sauce is amazing. The ambiance is casual but you can eat in everyday wines which I liked with a glass of Prosecco. Service was great. I didn't know what to get and got helped Must visit
I stumbled across this shop while exploring Kerrytown Market and was pleasantly surprised! I ordered the special for the day which was a Thai Shrimp lunch. It was just the perfect balance of spicy and tasty. It was a bit crowded inside as it is just a counter with very minimal seating inside the market. I wouldn't go there if I wasn't getting something to go, or a party of 2. If it isn't peak time you could probably get some seating for 4. Would recommend! Good price, great seafood.
I wish I checked out Monahan's during the six years I lived in Ann Arbor. They sell fresh seafood here, which I knew about, but I didn't know they also had cooked foods available to purchase. After hearing about the delicious soups here from a couple friends, I grabbed lunch with a friend here yesterday late morning. BERNIE'S FABULOUS CHOWDER OF THE DAY (PINT) Today, the chowder of the day was the classic New England Clam Chowder, one of my favorites. It was creamy without being overly fatty. It was rich and hearty, with a good amount of clam and potatoes. Overall, it was one of the better New England Clam Chowders I've had, and I can understand the hype. Each order comes with two small slices of baguette, lightly spread with butter, perfect for enjoying with the soup. FRIED CALAMARI The order comes with a generous portion of fried calamari, mostly "tube" shaped, with a few tentacles mixed in. We enjoyed the tentacles more because they were crispier and packed with more seasoning and flavor. Some of the tube-shaped calamari, however, was on the soggier side and a bit bland. Overall, it's a good dish for sharing. SALMON TERIYAKI Each order comes with a big piece of salmon marinated in teriyaki sauce, swerved with a side of rice topped with black sesame seeds. The salmon was grilled well, but the teriyaki sauce didn't contribute much flavor. Overall, the dish was quite bland, and I wouldn't order this again. I definitely recommend giving the soups a try at Monahan's. There are some tables to enjoy the food indoors.
