Review: My wife and I live part-time in Madison (also our home town) and probably eat at Monty's more than any other restaurant. My wife is not vegan, so we take full advantage of the wide variety of options. People watching is also fun.
 
Pros: Many good vegan options * Something for everyone *
Cons: Too busy sometimes * *

Review: The atmosphere was great, the staff was friendly and very good, knowledgeable and on-top of things.

The only words that come to mind regarding the food is "YUMMY!" The boyfriend and I both had different veg meals and loved them both! (We usually split our meals so we each eat 1/2 of the others to get more variety.) Heathen Vegan Shoplifter's Delight is my favorite ... although the sloppy faux is pretty darn good too!

The price was extremely reasonable for the quality and portion size.

We found Monty's through HappyCow and will go back any time we are in town!

 
Pros: excellent food * friendly staff * great atmosphere
Cons: * *

Review: super awesome easy to know if vegan or veggie menu! hip AND friendly staff (both usually dont go hand in hand). lots and lots to choose from, everything is good. i visited on a weekday morning and there was a short wait, so this is the dinner to go to for those memorable and fun sunday breakfasts! this place is a must!
 
Pros: menu * variety * staff

Review: This place has more veg options than they did last year. Currently, the vegan heathen sandwhich is a favorite. They also have a vege hash plate, seitan pork sandwich etc. For dessert, there is soy ice cream and any of the pies without crumb topping are vegan. Pies with crumb topping are made with lard.
 
Pros: more veg options lately * great atmosphere *
Cons: crumb topping crust made with lard * *

• Well, I have had at least 5 waiters tell me that the crumb topping is made with lard. It would be good to inform your waiters of this so they can accurately let the customers know what the crust is made with.. response by rccourtney
• Thanks for the review! Just a correction: the crumb topped pies are not made with lard, absolutely nothing is made with lard. The crumble top is made with butter so it's trans-fat free, but does contain dairy. No lard, however,in anything we serve! Thanks!. response by jen_g
