I needed a late meal. This really hit the spot. The house made chowder was spectacular
Quaint little diner with positive, upbeat atmosphere. The food/fare is standard diner food but I thought it tasted better than most diner food that I’ve ever had. If you’re looking for delicious diner style food, I recommend Monticello diner!
Have been here twice back to back and I'm so impressed. I travel with my job and stuck eating out all the time. I got the chicken parm the first day, the breading and sauce was great and today fajitas, yes fajitas at a "dinner". Best fajitas I've gotten in a long time. The portions are big as well. The staff is so friendly. I recommend this place if you want a great meal at a reasonable price with a cool dinner atmosphere. And they have a nice beer selection and the menu has something for everyone. Love this place already.
Small diner ate here for breakfast. And TBH was kinda shocked at the prices. I’m so used to NYC prices and this place was affordable.Family ordered banana walnut pancakes, chocolate chip pancakes, big breakfast - 2 French toast, 2 eggs, 2 bacon, and 2 sausage links. Also had coffee and lemonade. Everything was great. Lil man loved his chocolate chip pancakes. Heads up the pancakes are huge. We ordered a short stack (2 pancakes) for each kid and they couldn’t finish them.Wait staff was super friendly and attentive. Sat us down right away and took our orders. Good came out quickly.Inside was typical diner sitting. Nothing special or off.Wouldn’t mind coming back for breakfast again if we’re in the area.
What a great diner. Food was delicious. Staff was so nice and attentive. Can’t be beat.
Loved this place! Swung through during my travels since I was staying in town for the night. It wasn't very busy at all and they were still super fast and always doing something. No sitting around at this place! I enjoyed the atmosphere and short conversations I had with the wait staff. Oh, food was great too! I had the lox & onions omelette and a killer slice of apple pie for dessert. Menu is massive. I spent a long time looking through it.
This diner is so good it's worth coming from the UK to visit. Think that covers that in a nutshell thanks for looking after me these last two weeks Natalie x
A charming diner that offers classic fare and a familiar diner atmosphere. The pancakes are outstanding!!! All of the staff were lovely, but Jennifer especially stood out for how kind and attentive she was. Our family will definitely come here every time we're in town.
