I feel as if giving 3 stars is a bit generous. We stopped in for lunch today while out running some errands in Sun Prarie. We hadn't been to a Monk's in a long time. We were sat promptly, greeted with a smile, which sometimes sounds silly writing it but doesn't always happen. Told the specials and away it began. I was waffling between the Mahi Mahi fish taco, shrimp tacos, or a burger. The waitress recommended the Mahi, saying it is awesome and a popular choice. Yikes!!! Some people's taste buds suck in Sun Prarie. I thought they were a 1 star at best. Plain Jane. I wasnt expecting Gulf Coast blackened fish tacos but at least some effort would have been nice. These were horrible. Flavorless fish, may not have even been hand batterd. No seasoning at all! Dry slaw and cabbage placed on top of them with a squirt of a Chipotle aoile sauce. The only thing that had any flavor was the cilantro they put on top of the taco or the limes they served with them. Tater tots came out cold. 1 stars at this point only for service and cleanliness of the place. Cool decorated sports bar theme let me add by the way. All badgers and local packers memorabilia.
The wife orderd an awesome burger. The Gouda Burger is a must try. The flavors that the burger had were out of this world. Sauteed mushrooms stacked on top of it. Came on a nice brioche bun I believe. This needed no ketchup or mustard. I was jealous let me add. I wish I had orderd that. But again her fries were saturated in grease and cold. Not good! But now we know whenever we decide to make it back to Monk's stick to what they do best. BURGERS.
3 stars is giving this place a little extra. Could be alot better with some passion and love from employees. They need to care about what's coming out of that kitchen at all times because you never know whos receiving that food.
