“ What a gem! This place is great! The atmosphere and decor are such a vibe. The music was also just perfect for the aesthetic too, very cool. I had the grilled tenderloin on the GF bun and it was delicious. Perfectly cooked and seasoned. I ordered the balsalmic glazed brussels as the side and woooow those things were amazing! Pro tip- pour the extra balsalmic off the brussels on the tenderloin. So good! Everyone enjoyes their meals and our server was attentive and super friendly. We even had a quick fun chat with one of the cooks. He had us dyin laughing! All in all I give it 5/5 and cannot wait to come back!!! ”

“ Such a very cool establishment for such a small town! Meat is from local farms! Love that! We had the ribeye with cowboy butter! Delicious, large and tender! Shrimp app was tangy and 8 large shrimp with rice made for a perfect small entree. Service - delightful young man on his first day! Did a great job. Front house manager, bartender AND owner all stopped by to chat! Decor made you feel as though you were dining in a western upscale saloon. Great evening! ”

“ Was in town for a family get together and ate/drank here. Great tenderloin sandwhich. Cool atmosphere. Had a bigger group and they insisted on putting everything on one tab which was difficult in the end to figure out, but otherwise service was good and friendly! Love that Monticello has this as an option! Would definitely stop again! ”

“ Friendly people. Great service. Fun atmosphere. Great prices. Good food. Mac n cheese with b-bque pork and onion tangles with a delicious s'more white russian. Great date. ”

“ Really Enjoyed this place. Got the Dillenger burger. Was very fresh, savory and perfectly cooked as ordered. Cool atmosphere like a speakeasy from the 1920s. Our Alivia server was attentive and checked in often. Thanks for the great service! ”

“ Heard about this place on the radio. I think it’s criminal I haven’t been here before. The atmosphere is like a local diner mixed with a pub and stocked with the coolest people. Everyone was really nice and the service was some of the best I’ve ever had. For the food it is important to note they partner with local farmers and let me tell you, you can tell. The beef is definitely top quality. First I started with my favorite drink and got a White Russian. Did not disappoint very well balanced. I had to try two of their burgers and even though I’m in pain from eating too much it was worth it! I tried their Coalition Burger and don’t forget the peanut butter. The egg and bacon were cooked very well. I asked for a fried egg and the cook didn’t kill it which was a breath of fresh air. I got it on the Texas toast but it does come on a brioche bun normally. I also got the potato salad which was a gamble since I don’t normally like potato salad outside of Moms’ but again exceeded my expectations. For the second burger I got the squealing gangster. The aioli sent it over the top! The combination of the aioli, beef, and Canadian bacon was delicious to say the least. I may live 30 min away but I tell you what I bringing my friends here! Have so much more I NEED to try! Do yourself a favor and stop in!!!! ”

“ We were visiting family in NE Iowa. We were on a mission to find the best pork tenderloin in the area. We found it! Big and juicy with a unique breading. The sides of potato salad and coleslaw were outstanding and complemented the sandwich. Next time I want to try their burger or swordfish sandwich! Staff were friendly and the manager visited with us. Really nice people. ”

“ I had the BOBBY BURGER, and fries. Honestly the BEST burger I ever ate. Delicious and hot. Meat portion was huge and taste was #1. Wife had the tenderloin and enjoyed it equally. Will come again when in town. ”
