Food Porn visits: Red Monkey Tavern

I had always heard that Red Monkey was put there to catch the runoff from the long waits for tables at the Cheesecake Factory and P.F. Chang’s. We had a coupon, though, so we tried it. As expected the salads tasted like they came out of a food service bag, and my wife’s hamburger was just OK. However my dish was a real knockout: Duck Enchiladas. The red chile sauce was outstanding and gave this dish the punch that so many Mexican dishes in the area lack. At $17, this dish is one of the best bargains in the Triangle.

    Why would anyone order a burger when they can have that duck enchiladas, or the Lobster Mac and Cheese, or the meatloaf. So many great choices it seems a waste to order a burger. They always have great local beer options. I never go to PF Changs or Cheesecake because Red Monkey is there, the only place I want to eat if I am in Crabtree.
