The Overall Top Ten list represents a balanced tally of all votes received in the past 24 hours, with equal weight given to each of the four categories (Menu, Service, Atmosphere, and Price). We only consider votes from the past 24 hours in order to give all local restaurants (including new ones) equal chance to rise to the top.
Monroe Eats is a fun way to rate local restaurants and find out about great places to eat in and around Monroe, Michigan.
The Monroe Eats Top 10 List allows you to find out what restaurants are popular, and your personal Top 10 List is automatically created while you vote.
The voting page will ask you a question and you will have to choose between two restaurants. The match-up may appear random, but over the course of voting the website will start to create tougher match-ups as it begins to understand your preferences.
If you get a match-up where you can't decide (possibly if you are unfamiliar with one or both of the restaurants), you can click on the Skip button to throw this aside and try again with a different matching.
In addition to voting, you also have an opportunity to "Leave more feedback" in the form of a comment. This is entirely optional and comments are not displayed anywhere on this website. It the future, these comments might be anonymously presented to the restaurants.
After voting for a while, you can go to the "My Top 10" page and see what the website thinks are your favorite restaurants.
The Top 10 List is created from the total score based on all votes over the last 24 hours. Every vote for a restaurant is counted as one point. Also, when a match-up is skipped, a portion of a point is added to the restaurants (this is to prevent vote fraud).
We keep track of votes by IP Address, so anyone with the same internet connection will be counted together (this might be a single home or an office).
There is no end. You can vote as often as you like. The more votes you cast, the more accurate your My Top 10 list will become.
We are trying to keep this website on the positive, so your comments (good or bad) will not be displayed. We are keeping them safe for now, but it the future we may be passing them on to the restaurants. If we do give them to the restaurants, anonymity will be maintained.
We are trying to keep this fair, so to prevent this sort of thing we are assigning portions of points to skipping. This and other measures have been taken to try to cut down on vote fraud.
The "List All" page displays the entire voting pool in alphabetical order. This page also includes photos, maps, and addresses in case you want to visit the location.
Sorry, but in order to keep this website positive we are not releasing the scores to the public. We think that all local restaurants are part of our local culture and they all deserve an equal chance to be on the top list.
We probably forgot to include it. Let us know what restaurants should be added. If you are the manager or owner of a local restaurant, please click on the "Add my restaurant" link to get in the listing. It's free.
This is probably caused by one of two reasons:
1. The map appears in a pop-up window, so please disable your pop-up blocker. With many blockers, you can temporarily turn on pop-ups by holding down the "CTRL" key when you click on the Map button.
2. The map requires Javascript. Make sure that you have Javascript enabled.
