Cool spot with delicious food and very down to earth and friendly staff. Jo was our waitress and she was very kind and fun. We all sampled off each other's meals and they were all very good. I will definitely be back. Vegetarian and vegan options. Small parking lot with more options nearby. No stairs but bathroom was tight. Large booths and a few tables.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Me and my son from Indonesia went to Monty's Blue Plate Diner in January 2026. A restaurant in the west town area of Madison with a good vibes, delicious food and friendly service. When we arrive, we are immediately given free mineral water, like most restaurants. I choose roast turkey, with bread and green bean covered in delicious white sauce. And served with mashed potatoes. My son choose Heat loaf of the gods, Beef cooked in a brown sauce served with mashed potatoes and potato balls filled with broccoli.

I love this place! They offer a variety of delicious options for all eaters (vegan, gluten-free, etc.) This morning I had the veggie hash with eggs and a blueberry cake. My husband had the blue plate omelet with potatoes. Yum! We stop here every time we're in town.
