Monty's Blue Plate Diner - Madison

We had great service today at monty's, and these banana vegan pancakes were so good I wanted to die. I live on the west side and just as I was thinking, am I really driving almost a half an hour to get to brunch? Yes. Yes I really am and it was 110% worth it. My friend is not vegan, and what she ate looked amazing, and she still said she wished she had ordered these pancakes when she tried mine. (Then I stabbed her hand with my fork. Come here for brunch and get great vegan pie and shakes and mimosas and tofu scrambles and potatoes and these amazing pancakes. Update: next time I came I ordered the tofu scramble AND the vegan banana pancakes, and a box. Divided in half, took half home!

Nothing fancy, but definitely delicious. The biscuits were enormous, soft with good layers inside and really filling! Omlette was well made, but could have used more salsa. my friend really enjoyed the meatloaf hash, which I've never seen before. Potatoes were ok could have used more seasoning, but great with hot sauce. Food was super fast and server was great!

Great little place in a cool section of Madison. I really enjoyed the turkey platter. Big portions and excellent service. I was torn between the pot roast special and the Monte Cristo. It captures the counter service vibe and had the portions been smaller, the pie selection looked awesome. They have outdoor seating. Most options are around $15.

Very good! Visiting Madison from Houston for a few days. Came in for a late breakfast. Had the country plate with Egg Whites, bacon, potatoes and a biscuit. All good! Coffee was fine. Maybe I'd ask they toast the biscuit, since it was a bit cold, but not a world ender by any means. The vegan banana walnut pancakes also really looked! Definitely worth a try!

It’s always great here but tonight was especially wonderful!! My mom and I came for a birthday dinner and received spectacular service from Julian (I hope I got their name right!! on the patio. We requested the sandwich we ordered to share have 1/2 with swiss cheese and 1/2 with vegan cheese (if possible, we knew that was so picky and they did that AND brought it out on two different plates!! The food was awesome as always and we were so very pleased with the kindness of the staff. Thank you, Monty’s!!!!
