| - We met some friends for dinner there a few weeks ago and were underwhelmed. Basically it is just like the Monk's in the Dells. We had to wait a bit for a table, so we sat in the bar area- it was crowded, but we were able to find a couple of seats at the bar plus some room for the rest of our party to stand. Beer selection was pretty basic, but they did have New Glarus and New Belgium beers on tap. We were then seated at a booth in the main dining room. The booth was oddly small (we felt like we were smashed unnaturally close to the table, which made eating awkward) and the lighting in that room was overly bright and harsh, so I felt like I was eating in a fast food restaurant vs a sit-down place.
The food wasn't bad, but it wasn't awesome, either. The fried pickles were decent, but they are spears as opposed to chips, so they get soggy quickly. Salads and burgers were decent, but pretty much just generic bar/chain restaurant kind of food (reminiscent of Applebee's or Chiii's). So if you're looking for basic bar food, Monk's is fine, it just wouldn't be my first choice for places to eat in the area.
