Love the hardcore references - Edit
We traveled all the way from Brazil to try the Almighty Monty's. It has exceeded our expectations by far. Super tasty shakes, great burgers and the hardcore hints at the decor are a blast. We loved it and we're planning to go back again.

amazing - Edit
i got the single cheeseburger, animal fries, and oreo 1/2 shake and it was sooooo good. the best animal fries i’ve ever had (even better than in-n-out) and i used to work at in-n-out before going vegan so i know what i’m talking about lol. and i loved that they have a 1/2 shake option! the oreo shake was so good and it wasn’t too sweet or too much

Good vegan burgs - Edit
Montys are consistently great. They've changed their buns to a more brioche style, and it's definitely improved them alot. Their tots are to die for, and their house made sodas are fire. Shame they got rid of their vanilla soda😒

It’s cool - Edit
I love that this place is open until midnight. Their vbeef patties are so thin, I felt compelled to ask for another to satiate me. And the top bun is so big it’s almost 50% burger, 50% top bun. It needs a bit of improvement imo. Would eat here if it was the only v option, other than that it’s ok

A recipe change subtracted a gluten-free item from the menu. I had a float. - Edit
I was intending to get an order of the chicken nuggets with the “chicken” texture supplied by Daring Foods as I was excited that Monty’s had added a gluten-free item as a main meal choice from when I had it several months ago for the first time. I was ordering online for a pickup and it seemed that the item was no longer gluten-free on their online menu, so I decided to not order it. There was a sign on the counter inside stating that the chicken tenders now contained gluten and Monty’s taketh away a gluten-free recipe.
Read moreThe gluten-free food items on the menu currently are: the Dogpile, fries, and tots. Sauces and a salad without croutons or chicken would be gluten-free.
There are more gluten-free float, drink, and shake options. did order a ginger beer float and it was a treat. The contrast of the zing of the ginger flavor and the creaminess of the Oatly vanilla ice cream was a good taste. The tastes really mixed together for a great effect when the cup was almost finished and the ice cream was melting and there was a little ginger beer flavor still mixed in.
For the decor, There is a giant framed photo on the wall with Joaquin Phoenix and Rooney Mara having some Monty’s burgers with the Best Actor Oscar statuette sitting on the ground between them after Joaquin got it for Joker earlier in the night. I appreciate the overall diner aesthetic for the inside and the bright color scheme on the outside; the building front really stands out on Sunset making it hard to miss if you are trying to find the place.

Pros: Having a dog as the restaurant’s mascot. , A merch rack with clothing items to browse., Travis Barker collab’ing on the matcha shake.
Cons: No gluten-free bun option., Adding gluten to the chicken nugget recipe., The music is loud and could be a pro or con.

Burgers & Fries - Edit
I hate to say it but I wasn’t blown away by Monty’s! I had heard so much about them and I was so excited to try while visiting LA. I was sort of underwhelmed. Everything was fine but I wasn’t blown away by any means. Also the burger was quite pricey. $15 for a double burger with no fries is a lot in my opinion. The meal was fine but I wouldn’t feel the need to return.

Excellent vegan boogers - Edit
One of the best vegan burgers I’ve ever had. Fried chikin sandwich was also great. Fries and tots were slightly above average. Excellent sauces/aioli for dipping. I would totally go back, but not at night. Surrounding area is a bit dodgy.

Best Vegan Chicken! - Edit
You can really tell something about a place when you can’t stop thinking about their chicken sandwich.

Best vegan chicken sandwich! - Edit
The food was absolutely delicious and I loved the punk diner vibe (great art and decor). I had the chicken sandwich which was super thick and crispy, probably the best I’ve ever had. My cousin (who is not vegan) had the double burger and LOVED it. We tried the sriracha aioli and house sauces and both were super yummy! Fries were ok, but tater tots were delish. You can go 50/50 on fries and tater tots, but next time I would go all in on the tots. Also, don’t bother with the cookies. They’re small and not that great. I would 100% go back and highly recommend!
Read morePros: 100% vegan, Homemade sauce selection on point
Cons: Expensive, Fries/Tots not included with sanwhich

Delicious chicken sandwich - Edit
But loud music! We liked our fries and the ranch and house dipping sauces. We were hoping for homemade burgers but the chicken was solid! Sit in the back in the booths for more quiet!

American but cruelty free - Edit
Decadence for all! My partner was ecstatic to sink his teeth into some karma-free comfort food and I satisfied my sweet tooth with a coffee shake and my salty and spicy teeth with fries and habanero sauce- which I want to smother my whole life in 🤤
Read moreThe decor is snappy and very 'grammable if you're into that sort of thing. There's just something so fun about sipping on a shake across from your sweetie in a red vinyl booth. Just wish the music fit the punkabilly aesthetic

Kale salad! - Edit
I came here with my yoga training group and let me start by saying I’m not a burger person or fast food person. Our mentor who loves Ⓥ burgers said this one beats Honeybee and Mr. Charlie’s. I had the one healthy thing on the menus - the kale salad - and it was great. The retro vibe is worth the price of admission.

Okay burgers, okay fries - Edit
Incredibly delicious chicken sandwiches!!! Would not get the cheeseburger again ever as it was not impressive but the chicken sando made up for it and I will always get that when I go there. The chicken was pretty realistic and for a second I panicked 😅 fries were just fries but the special sauce was amazing! My soda was also super syrupy and too sweet.

The United States of Hamburgers - Edit
My first meal on US soil since 2019. Thanks for the soft landing. The Strawb Milkshake was the highlight, fresh whole fruit on top and more chunks blended inside an Oatly based soft ice cream sugar magic package. Might have been sprinkles too, Idk. Felt like a dream.
Read moreTo be clear, this is junk food, but in the best way. I ordered the burger even though Impossible is a bullshit company only because I wasn't alert enough after an eleven day ordeal traveling from Asia to notice the fried chicken sando. Mercifully, it was a slight and unobtrusive patty, because too much of that stuff I find revolting.
The basket of fries and tots was enough to feed six kids or one fat ass like me. I chose the habanero sauce which was sufficiently spicy to keep me from being too remiss for having landed back once again the United States of Hamburgers.
Hopefully, these mofos take over the world and we can rename it The United States of Monty Burgers. Maybe just a fluke, but I asked the awesome cashier if she was vegan and the answer was yes for which she received a well earned cash reward. Good burger indeed.
Pros: Oat Milk Shake, Open late-ish, Employs vegans

Chicken Sandwich is the best - Edit
I don’t care much for burgers so I ordered Charlie’s Chicken Sandwich and it exceeded my expectations. You get a thick piece of plant-based fried chicken in a soft, sweet brioche bun that’s slathered with Veganaise. It comes with pickles. I ordered mine with lettuce and tomato for a little extra. It’s a messy good sandwich so grab plenty of napkins. The Strawberry Milkshake is made with Oatly’s, vanilla soft serve and strawberries. They served it with a straw and a spoon to scoop the strawberries that sink to the bottom. Monty’s is great before a Dodgers game (it’s near Dodger Stadium.) or really anytime you are craving a chicken sandwich, burger, fries and milkshake. My one complaint is that they don’t offer a more healthier options than the one Caesar salad on the menu.
Read morePros: Excellent chicken sandwich , Good service , Tasty strawberry shake madwith real strawberries

Good burger indeed - Edit
I had a classic single burger, it was good. I got plenty of potatoes with my order. I appreciate that they do 50/50 fries and tots. I got a 1/2 strawberry shake, awesome portion. The shake was my favorite, could’ve gone with a regular size easily! Apparently their soda is house-made, I don’t drink soda, but it seemed appealing!
