This is a dark, greasy, homely, neighborhood dive bar with semi-decent food. If you visit Monkey Pants with this in mind, you won't be disappointed...much.
I was encouraged to go to Monkey Pants to try their burger with peanut butter on it. Yes, peanut butter! I'm an adventurous eater, so sure; I'm game. Well...the burger was dry. I asked for it cooked Medium, but it came out Well (...with every drop of moisture cooked out of it). Also, there was no sauce on the burger of any sort; so just a dry, airy, flavorless bun and a way overcooked burger. Exacerbating the problem was this mouth-drying peanut butter on my burger. I felt like I was in one of those "Got Milk" commercials. Not good.
Conceptually, the "burgers across America" idea is sound, but the execution is not. The quality and attention to detail (and taste) is not there. The staff (of one) was friendly, but the service was a bit slow (because there was only one person). Monkey Pants is not a very clean place either. They did have Guinness on tap though, which almost earns them a 3rd star.... Still, I'm not really a fan. I don't intend on returning.
