An awesome selection and great addition to downtown Monticello! Our waitress was great at giving recommendations since only one of us had been to their location in CR before. Everything was served very timely, fresh, and hot! The Jacked Mac Bites come with an awesome dill sauce and I liked that they put their own twist on ketchup mixed with sweet&sour sauce for their fries! Everything was great and I ended up with enough leftovers for another meal. I’ll be back next time I visit my hometown. Shoutout to everyone who helped this place come to Monti!
Have had food herea out 5 times now, we also carry out and our food has been great e very time. Very friendly service. Atmosphere is really nice. It's an old building restored downtown Monticello. They've done a great job. There is also an upstairs. Recommend!
Met a few kayaking friends for lunch (11am open) and had the funnel cake fries for a shared appetizer and then the reuben sandwich with house chips. The meal was great, and our server was awesome, personable, and chatted with us a bit before the noon crowd showed up.
I stopped here while I was in the area and was pleasantly surprised. I've been to the Blind Pig in CR many times and have always enjoyed their food but on & off there was service weirdness due to management changes. I didn't get a sense of anything like that at this location. The employees seemed to work cohesively and to truly enjoy their jobs. Because of this the food was the same delicious caliber but thankfully the service was excellent as well. There was plenty of seating between the 2 stories and it was nicely decorated in a new hometown bar & pig theme that is more casual than when it was the Jitney. I ordered a Chicken Sandwich that I ate before I got any pictures it was so good and a Moscow Mule that had a nice kick. Definitely recommend and will be back.
Went here over the weekend with my husband, service was great and food was even better. The garlic jalapeño aioli they serve with the fried green beans was amazing!! We both got rodeo burgers and they were perfectly cooked and the food came out from the kitchen in a very timely manner despite them being extremely busy. Our server was very friendly and attentive to our needs, would recommend this place to everyone! Very pleased with our experience!!
Good food you can split the tenderloin-green beans are good. Nice place-you better like football-it is everywhere :) not a bad thing-great food.
Such a fun and delicious place to have in a small town! The atmosphere was funky for a bar and we loved it! The service was top-notch and the food was even better! We highly recommend either the chicken sandwich or angus burger with either fries or house chips. The house chips come with a homemade sour cream and onion dip that is out of this world! The portions are generous, so you’ll probably have 2 meals worth of food if you go for lunch! We will definitely be back when we’re in the area!
Amazing club and tenderloin. Beautiful friendly place. I particularly liked the coleslaw.
