It is now permanently closed. So, so disappointing. I hate this new anti-vegan trend.

Love it so much! - Edit
Fantastic! Deliciously perfect classic cheeseburger with a nice bun. The loaded fries were top notch! The chicken sandwich was to die for. You must get a milkshake! The milkshake was super thick and covered in sprinkles. I absolutely loved the strawberry milkshake. The portions were all huge and we shared everything and still could not finish it.

Great Food, worse parking - Edit
Was in the area for a convention so we checked out this place since it was the closest good looking vegan spot. Was not disappointed, everything we had was very good! Loved the shake and chicken sandwich. The only down side was finding parking in the area.

Awesome vibes and great food - Edit
Pleasantly surprised to find this place on my layover, great price and awesome food. I had the value meal and a shake, the closest I’ve tasted to an OG McDonalds McFlurry since I went vegan 9yrs ago!

Simple Fast Food Served With Style - Edit
I got the meal with Chikkin tenders and fries. I don’t usually eat fast food so this was a treat! It’s a 100% vegan retro diner-like spot with barstools. Great service, solid fast food served with style in the middle of the Riverside Food Lab which is a downtown food court. The environment is loud and bustling, not at all relaxing.

Vegan Americana Diner in Riverside - Edit
Worth the trip! Located in the heart of Riverside, within the Food/Game Lab complex, near a convenient parking structure (FREE 90 minute parking).
Read moreThe food lab has other eateries, with Monty’s being near the center. Menu is limited to classics, but they are delicious! I’ve had them a few times before and haven’t been disappointed.
Service was super friendly and kind, even if they were understaffed! I ordered the Kale Salad w/Chick’n’ so satisfying and GOOD! I also had an order of tots, that I ended up having to take home as I couldn’t finish them. Would totally go back, but this time for strictly their shakes and floats! Highly recommend, then encourage you to stroll around or check out the arcade area.
Pros: Fully Vegan/Plant-Based with Awesome Service, Cool Location Near Downtown Riverside, Kale Caesar Salad with Chick’n’ SO GOOD!
Cons: Can Get Spendy but Worth It

So good! - Edit
We've lived in Riverside for 8 years but somehow never tried Monty's. I had the "chicken" sandwich, and my husband had a double cheese burger. We both had fries. Food came out quickly and was amazing. We'll be back for sure. If you're visiting from out of town, free street parking can be found along Fairmont and 6th.

I loveeee the Travis Barker matcha Latte Shake. It’s the almost the best thing on the planet. Burgers are bomb and the chicken sando wowzo. The hot dog is like a fun whatevah but still good.

One of the best places to take omnis - Edit
This is one of the greatest restaurants in the vegan scene. Their burgers are probably the best and their tater tots are incredible.

10/10 vegan burger - Edit
Monty’s never disappoints it’s sooo good! The shakes are to die for too, lots of great flavors and you’d never be able to tell they’re vegan

Pretty Darn Good! - Edit
I ordered a “chicken” sandwich, fries, and a strawberry shake. Everything tasted great, but it wasn’t light on calories. Definitely worth a try if you’re looking for tasty vegan junk/fast food.

Vegan burger and fries - Edit
It’s in an outdoor food court type of place. There’s other places in here that are vegan too. I went with a burger and fries. It was a tasty burger. They charge extra for fries and extra for dipping sauce. Drinks were extra, but I got a drink at the bar. I spent about $30 for fries and a drink with dipping sauce (including the $3 tip).
Read morePros: Plant based restaurant, Taste good and filling , Cute theme
Cons: Expensive , Everything sold separately , Parking sucks

Food came out quick and piping hot. The best tots I’ve ever had at a restaurant - perfectly crispy and salty. The onion aioli was delicious to dip them in.

Always Perfect - Edit
I get Monty's once a year, and without fail they consistently have the best ingredients and never mess with what is perfect. Being from California, it gives a nod to the classic California style burger that I grew up with and it's even better than the original - sorry In-n-out. Tried the Matcha shake this time around, and it was perfectly balanced, 11/10!

Perfect for burger craving - Edit
One of the better vegan burgers I’ve enjoyed! This location is in a food hall, so there are lots of options for various diets. I ordered a single burger, a side of tater tots and a strawberry lemonade, for about $20.
Read moreThe burger was great - moderately sized, juicy burger, convincing melty American cheese, fresh toppings, and pleasantly saucy without being messy. Yum! The side of tater tots would be plenty to share with a few friends. They were hot, beautifully crispy and dry, not greasy at all. The strawberry lemonade was fresh and well balanced. Great vegan meal!
Pros: All vegan, Relaxed, trendy dining hall
Cons: A little spendy

Vegan In n Out and beyond! - Edit
Another amazing happy cow find on a hungry quest to find good vegan food! This place is legit and we were happily surprised and sufficiently satiated. In addition to the normal fare you would find at In n Out, this place offered a plant based chicken sandwich, chicken tenders, tater tots, 6 different sauces, and cookies. Salivating just writing this review 🙃 😋 🤤 Last but not least, people here are super friendly. Several came up to us asking about the food ❤️
