After seeing the two star rating on Yelp, I have to admit that I was a little apprehensive about eating at Monte's. But we were in the area and needed some fast food, so what the heck, why not? We were greeted when we walked in and asked to sit wherever we wanted. The place was dead; most people coming in were ordering to-go.
Our waitress was meek and soft spoken, but she was on point for refills. My husband and brother-in-law guzzled down at least 4 cokes a piece. I took advantage of the Yelp check in offer and got 12 garlic knots for free! They came out after 10 minutes and were promptly demolished. The knots were served up hot and loaded with garlic and parmesan cheese.
We all ordered from the "specials" menu. I ordered a slice of cheese pizza with a side of garlic knots ($3.99). It was $0.50 extra to add mushrooms. My husband got the same special but with pepperoni. The brother-in-law ordered a large pepperoni pizza ($7.99). When the food came out, it was seriously right off the oven. The pizzas had the perfect amount of cheese. Our grand total for two people? $11.32!!
When all is said and done, the only major complaint I had was that it took just under 30 minutes to get our meals. Under normal circumstances we wouldn't have minded but it just so happened we were in a rush. We ordered pizzas and garlic knots- not anything crazy like a time consuming calzone. Even so, the wait time still doesn't affect my choice of a four star rating because the service was great, the food was good, and the prices phenomenal. We'll be returning to Monte's!
