It’s always great here but tonight was especially wonderful!! My mom and I came for a birthday dinner and received spectacular service from Julian (I hope I got their name right!!) on the patio. We requested the sandwich we ordered to share have 1/2 with swiss cheese and 1/2 with vegan cheese (if possible, we knew that was so picky) and they did that AND brought it out on two different plates!! The food was awesome as always and we were so very pleased with the kindness of the staff. Thank you, Monty’s!!!!

Monty's is a fun, welcoming diner with tasty, affordable food. I was a little hesitant of a Monty Cristo sandwich with fruit preserves, but it was conservative and added a nice sweetness. The daily scramble was also great today (and our friends say they haven't ever been disappointed by it). Pay attention to the difference between "french fries" and "american fries" when ordering since "american fries" are the sliced potatoes served on the breakfast side of the menu, by default, while the "french fries" are the square cut fried potatoes served on the lunch side, by default. They were both very good! We'll be back to try some more things off the menu soon!

Authentic 50s-60s diner atmosphere with traditional brunch and some modern twists. This is my favorite brunch place. Great outdoor seating during the summer. They also have desserts, beer on tap, and standard cocktails. Food is fantastic. All menu items are labeled as vegetarian, vegan, or gluten sensitive which makes it really easy for those with dietary restrictions. Solid bottomless coffee (though it is diner and not a boutique coffee place so if you are looking for a fancy pour over or something like that, you should let someone else enjoy Monty's). Also has seating at the bar with full meal service

Honestly, I wasn't too impressed. After reading all the raving reviews I was expecting great things. Perhaps it's because I went for a dinner and got dinner food. Maybe it's better in the morning/ early afternoon hours and with breakfast. The food was OK, not super great. The waitress didn't really check up on us and they were not busy. Tuesday evening, 2/22. I may go back to try again, for a breakfast.

They are COVID compliant. We had to wait for a seat until someone left. It was only about 10 minutes. There are no condiments on the tables. Everyone is wearing masks. Our lovely waitress Christi even had 2 masks on. If you get a chance ask for Christi. She's a fantabulous server!

Do they serve alcohol in the morning? Also is it only breakfast options in the morning or full menu?

I haven't seen any restrictions on alcohol listed on the menu, so if there are, likely it's city rules. They do a crazy bloody Mary which is typically a morning drink.I think it's just breakfast until 11, maybe 10, but it never hurts to ask because they are accommodating.

IDK, but I do know, if they do not, the wait is WELL worth it.
