Young staff were very friendly and professional. Gluten free crust was delicious and hubs got the super veggie pizza, which he loved! I'm dairy free and mine was great even without the cheese! Salad with their red French dressing reminded me of my favorite hometown pizza places salad dressing!

As a couple of the other reviews have said, the pizza is good but the size is not worth the $23 they charge for a "specialty" pizza. I've been going to this place for over 15 years (different name and owner, same recipes) and this pizza (the Hawaiian Hog) use to have like 1" thick of toppings and take up the width of the box. Been having this issue for few years and I've finally decided to write about it.

Disclaimer: this visit was on Mother's Day so we understood that it would be crowded with longer wait time. First time in restaurant. The tables are packed claustrophobic tight. Or table was smack up against the side of the salad bar. I was afraid my hair would get in the lettuce. Every time someone walked past our table they bumped into the chairs. Payment is No cards, cash/check only and this info is NOT published anywhere but on a notecard taped to the cash register which was blocked from view as we were seated. Not on the door, not on the website. I see it's here in the comments on Yelp, but I had poor signal and didn't do a review search, just looked at the website. Poor treatment by owners - attitude was not "I'm sorry for your poor experience" but "I'm sorry you're complaining, get lost." Carry out orders and friends and locals seemed to receive priority service. Mediocre, overpriced food. "Baked" pasta dish was runny, mozzarella barely melted, meat sauce with barely any meat, way too sweet. Garlic bread with very little garlic. Pizza crust was hard, flavorless, over cooked on edges. Sauce (to me) has a weird chemical-like taste. Toppings were not fresh, mushrooms were canned, pizza was under cooked in the middle. Wait time - it was one hour until someone told us it was ready to come out in a couple of minutes..... then it actually was another 30 minutes or more later, during which the waiter avoided us like the plague until we flagged him down and asked when our food would be out, then another ten minutes after that. After reading reviews, it would seem that the time deception is a sanctioned tactic. Finally, after going to the car, retrieving an old checkbook, and writing a check with a generous tip in spite of the deficiencies, we politely expressed that they should publish their payment policy and how wait time was misrepresented. Received a very curt response. Left an honest comment on the community fb page and was threatened, cursed, and called every name in the book by most of the friendly "locals." But hey, social media, right? The rudeness on a busy day could have been easier to forgive if everything else had been five star, but the food really isn't worth the price and the wait. And jeez, Monticello....I'm afraid to drive through town, much less eat at this restaurant again.

Prairie Fire Grill is one of the nicer places in town. Even then it's kind of boring. The prices are pretty good at least. Basically it's more like a bar than a restaurant with a few things to eat. It's got a pretty good amount of room. There's the seats at the bar plus plenty of tables. Also there's room for music. On weekends there's often some local band or singer. Questionable talent but good enough for this town. It's about $7 for a basic cocktail. There's a good amount of whiskeys. It's about $8 for an appetizer. The Pretzel Nuggets are good for sharing. Entrees include things like burgers. There's also pizza. Has some good things to get. It's not great but there's not really anywhere better around town than here. They're closed Tuesdays.
