Brass Monkey

The food was real and very good. Made by someone who is skilled and cares. Service was excellent and provided local views on development of the area. Decor was artfully done; preserving the buildings historic core with a modern garnish which added a fresh feeling.

First off, great looking place in a very old renovated brick building now the bad
They ran out of unsweetened tea and here are some pictures of my $15.00 reuben, couldn't even taste or tell there was corned beef on the sandwich.6 The server was obviously new and untrained.

Service was 4/5
Ambiance 5/5
Food 3/5
Thai shrimp was great! Onion rings great! Brass bowl 2/5, Frisch Melt 3/5

If you find yourself driving through southern Ohio, make time to stop into the Brass Monkey. My parents live in Chillicothe and my dad has been anxious to go here for awhile. I was sold once I heard about the locally sourced been the use for the bulk of the menu. It's located in an old brick building and offers a fun, old school vibe. The wood used in the tables lends a rich and warm feel with cool artwork throughout. Our favorite part though would have to be the variety of monkey statues throughout. Service was friendly and welcoming and very attentive. They have an intriguing cocktail menu to get things started. I opted for a Collins which was bright and incredibly refreshing! My husband opted for the brass old fashioned which had banana infused into the flavor.

My dad heard the mushrooms were a must try and let me tell you this dish blew our minds! They were served at the table in a cast iron pan and offered more than enough for 4 people. They were cooked with savory pancetta and topped with a rich melty cheese. Make sure you take in every bit of this dish by using the crusted bread they serve to sop up all the rich juices!

My husband and I opted for burgers so we could try the locally farmed grass fed beef and you can tell the fresh differences from other spots. My mom tried the Asian bowl which she loved and my dad said the pork chop special was the best chop he's ever had.

They are known for having incredible steaks which based on the freshness and quality beef they use for burgers I can only imagine. We all agreed that we'll be making the trip down here again sooner than later for a steak night.

The food was good but expensive.. service wasn't terrible.. the patio was really nice but someone was playing the giant jenga while I was eating and it fell on the metal flooring and was extremely loud.. the bread was eh macaroni I don't recommend but the filet was good. Worth a try if your in the area. Hopefully things only get better.

Great Beer! Great Food!! I wish I lived closer to Waverly OH so I could come here every weekend!

A fine dining experience close to home! Brass Monkey is definitely offering great food and with a friendly atmosphere what more could you ask for. Started our meal off with the Thai Shrimp appetizer, Marinated chicken sandwich with house Mac-n-cheese (yum), along with the Brass Rice Bowl. Food was outstanding and the staff was amazing. Will definitely return and recommend you stop by! Placing Waverly Ohio on the foodie map! The Salyers Family :)

Atmosphere was very nice. The food was not. I had the ribs which turned out to be akin to a fatty pot roast at your least favorite aunt's home.

Great cashew and grilled chicken salad! Friendly service without being over the top! Nice atmosphere in the tradition of the Emmitt House.

Went to try someplace new. great interior. Server was new, but she will improve. The food? The Appetizer: The mushrooms were bland, absolutely no flavor. The mushrooms have no seasoning. Can't depend on bland butter and strong cheese to create a flavor. Side dish: The "risotto" looked LITERALLY like slightly undercooked basmatti rice in cream of mushroom soup and cheese, and still flavorless. The salad, fries, and steak saved the meal, barely. I paid the full price for the meal because they will need the money for survival. If management can't see that there is a full untouched dish gets returned and management can't tell tell that the guest is sparing the embarrassment of the restaurant by saying "everything is okay" (with a full appetizer sitting RIGHT THERE) and NOT trying to find out WHY or what was wrong with the dish..then the ego of the person who created it is too out of reach until another person with working tastebuds says something. Best wishes, I hope they taste their dishes before putting it on a menu, or at least revamp that particular dish.
