  I needed meat. Unfortunately, in a town full of cows it would be easier to buy the whole thing. Not a slab of porter house or new york on any menu! There was only one spot left in the lot, so I figured, Wrong! I do have to apologize for staring. I know one guy must have thought I was hitting on him because I couldn't take my eyes off his hair. The joint was full of bowl cuts circa 1968. I thought the Beatles got back together or something. Even the women were in on joke! Back to the restaurant that was decorated in early country garage sale. I scoured the menu and the meat offerings were razor thin and nothing looked appetizing. I went with a combo club of ham and turkey. It came with noodles soup. Just to let you know that you were getting more than one noodle I guess? They were home made and the cup was brimming with chicken. Then the sandwich came out. The coated fries were all stuck together and looked as though they had 2 coats on them. The sliced turkey looked as thought it was frozen and thawed in the microwave. It had this transparent look to it. I started to lose my appetite quickly. I did get a piece of apple pie. The flaky crust and big chunks of apples almost saved the day. The waitress was on her game, but she needed to stop her auto tan prior to her coming to work. This place is amusing, but it isn't enough. Unless they let you pack your own lunch!

  Not very Good. Skip & go to Ezmeralda's.
  They don't care either if you have something not edible. Processed junk. Don't waste your time when you can go to Ezmeralda's where they use fresh ingredients.

  Visiting Monticello and when driving around we saw lots of cars in lot so we decided to have lunch.  Food was excellant, service was good.  The only bad thing was the cleanliness. There was good on the booth seat.

  A great local diner and the only local place I can get a Monte Cristo! Friendly service and reasonable prices. When you almost have to call and make reservations for Sunday lunch because of how busy a place is it must be good.

  Good food, service, and prices.  The burger was hand made and really good fries.  Could have better breads though.

  We drove through Monticello on our way home to Illinois. We were driving along route 24. I swear this is the only place on route 24 to stop and eat. But what a pleasant surprise! I thought it smelled funny when I walked in but that went away. It was Friday and they had all you can eat Walleye, cod or catfish. I had the walleye and my husband had the cod. Both were fantastic!!!! I had hash browns because they were out of baked potatoes and that was a nice change.
  
  The best part was the Andes mint chocolate brownie. Oh my gosh! That thing is out of this world!!! I still have some of it. I ration little bites each day to make it last longer.
  
  Another plus for this place is that they had no problem letting my daughter share my plate.  That's the way it should be I think.  She is only 7 and probably ate one or two bites.

  This is our second, favorite diner in town for breakfast.  It was our favorite for the first 6 months before we found Esmeralda's, and honestly, I'm always happy to go there, if someone else wants to.  The food is good, old fashion, and large proportions.  The staff is friendly and efficient.  We can always get a seat right away, unlike Esmeralda's.
