| - I have been going to Monty's for years and I have always had the same thing to say: the service sucks.
The food is okay, I mean, it's a diner. There is a wide variety of vegetarian options which is nice. I also have to mention that I won't be eating here again soon as they have very recently taken my 2 favorite items off the menu; the tuna steak sandwich, and the cajun chicken sandwich. The cumin chipotle mayonnaise on the tuna sandwich was one of the only reasons I would even still go to Monty's.
The service is always terrible. you can count on a long wait for your waiter to take your order, for them to bring your drinks, and your food, and the longest wait of all is always for the check. I have contemplated a dine and dash many times. I counted the minutes one time, and it was 45 minutes from the time I finished eating to when the check came. It wasn't because the waitress didn't see me from behind the counter either, she was talking to another server. Once, I was eating with a friend, and we were waiting for 15 minutes to even have our waiter come to the table, so we just left. Believe me, the service being slow is never because there isn't enough servers or too many diners.
The food is decent, but it's not great by any means. It is still pretty okay, although I've had some bad meals. The meatless meatloaf is only saved by the cashew gravy, and the salmon cakes are awful. The tuna sandwich was really good, but the size and bun has changed over the years, and recently been replaced by 3 kinds of pastrami sandwiches. The grilled chicken salad is good, as is the feta dill burger.
