A bite of the veggie loaf
Veggie loaf of the gods, not photogenic, but very delicious, even to go
As you walk in, turn to your right to see the gas pump, neon over the door on the sign is a nice touch!

Another great meal at Monty's! Had everything to share - breakfast burrito, fat elvis vegan french toast, greek omelet, and chicken and biscuit. I was a big fan of the chicken and biscuit - yummy maple glaze covering the crispy fried chicken and warm buttermilk biscuit. The garlic butter broccoli was refreshing and a creamy mashed potato with it as well. The burrito was hot to the bite with full flavor in each. These potato's never miss! Perfectly spiced and crisped. The fat elvis was drool worthy with melty peanut butter and chocolate chips.Also had a delectable slice of German chocolate cake -- for a $6 slice you are getting the bang for your buck. The cake was literally falling out of the dish, and perfectly textured with the coconut pecan chocolate combo.Portions are all so huge!

Six of us ate here Saturday and some was good but some was bad.Pancakes and French toast were fine but their "breakfast" potatoes tasted as bad as they look!Their "house-made" biscuit was hard and dry.Two slices of ham were fine.Omelets weren't anything special.Over priced at an average of $15 per.Lovely old-time cafe and service was great but I want quality food to go along with that.Never thought of taking photos.

Food tried it's best but was ultimately lackluster for me-- morning melt was fine but the breakfast potatoes were incredibly inconsistent in cook, under seasoned, and almost wet/steamed in texture (not exactly what you want from a breakfast potato)corned beef hash was also ok, but not really what i was expecting from a hash, the potatoes had the same steamed/non-crispy texture as the breakfast potatoes; the biscuit that came with was dry and saltythe smash burger was actually pretty fire, same with the waffle friesthe strawberry rhubarb pie crust was chewy and seemed undercookedcoffee was burnt :/interior decor was cozy tho!

great service! I came in a party of 8, and there were no order errors; the server also split our checks. she also checked up on us a few times. food was good and had sizeable portions worth the price. classic American diner feel with a good noise level.

Though I live in Milwaukee, I've been to Monty's more times than I can count. Their breakfast has never disappointed. The blueberry pancakes are absolute perfection. I order them nearly every time and I am so glad when they arrive. They're the perfect diner pancake -- not gourmet brunch spot gorgeous, but unassuming and oh-so-delicious. Monty's biscuits and breakfast potatoes are two other must haves. The potatoes are well seasoned with a good crispiness on the outside and a soft and luscious interior. The biscuit is just as delicious as those my southern grandmother could whip up -- flaky yet tender and best eaten with a generous pat of butter. The eggs, in whatever form you order them, will be solid. Nothing to write home about, but yummy and filling nonetheless. For Monty's being such a classic diner, you might be surprised to see their extensive vegan menu. They've got some really great options, and I can personally attest to the banana walnut pancakes. Though blueberry is my go-to, the vegan banana walnut option is really quite tasty. Monty's loses one star for the atrocious parking lot (but good on them for actually having one) and prices that are just a little too high, IMO. Other than that, I'll always recommend Monty's to those looking for a hearty Madison breakfast.

I came for the vegan milkshake (made with oat ice cream), and let me tell you the peanut butter shake did not disappoint. You get a full glass as well as the metal blending cup with any extra. It starts out thick and melts throughout the meal, so be prepared with a spoon or two to start. And the peanut butter is piled in and you get bits of it in every bite.The rest of the food was more of what you'd expect from a traditional diner. I had the reuben and the beef was pretty dry and plain - looked a lot like sliced meat from a gyro. The fries were mediocre and the bad ketchup only made them worse. Service was fantastic. Gently checked in multiple times to be sure we had everything you need without imposing.

Delicious breakfast food. Friendly service. Can get extremely loud, but I fully blame the two tables behind us for that. Definitely recommend breakfast here if you are in the neighborhood.

Really cute restaurant, tiny tiny parking lot so plan accordingly. Also, this place is an INSTITUTION (locals and tourists come all the time), so plan accordingly.Lots of delicious food options, definitely friendly to those who are GF or Veg or vegan. Double check how hungry you are, because that milkshake is so worth it, but you'll probably be taking the rest of your food to go! Service was great and I'll definitely have to check it out again!
