Monty's is basically a shiny Denny's in the heart of Madison's Atwood neighborhood. On the plus side, you won't leave the diner with an empty stomach.
The portions are generous, potatoes seasoned just right and the servers keep your coffee fresh. It's not worth waiting more than 30 minutes to sit, but smaller parties of 2 to 3 can get in relatively fast. Decent menu selection and the pies look good by the counter...but saving room for pie is a challenge.
