    Hey everyone so we amé to eat here and let me start with the place is super clean and restrooms as well. Staff was friendly and very professional very helpful. So let's get into the food part it was good we had 3 different sandwiches so we had the rocky super good also had the original Philly with provolone it was also good it wasn't as cheesy as I would thought it would be though so final sandwich was the Philly pizza and that one was also good the sauce was really good to be honest surprised by it. The habanero sauce was also good and spicy just a bit. Ok price now I think it was a bit up there in price but everything is now super expensive now a days right so oh well. I do recommend this place for sure.

    Cheesesteak Hoagie with extra mayo and grilled mushrooms
    Shanell G.

    Amazing place to eat if you go to Chicago....I found this place on DoorDash but I knew I needed to visit in person when I saw the food. I'm glad I went inside. We met Joe he was a sweetheart. Beautiful personality. He made us some drinks at the bar they were good. The cheesesteaks were packed with meat and flavor. Fries were good with the cheese and bacon but I normally ask for shredded cheese. We got an order of the garlic Parmesan wings. I like dry Garlic Parmesan these were wet. Not a problem because the place was very clean. The service was awesome. Parking can be troublesome but we found a spot. This place makes for a wonderful hidden gem. Thank you Joe and cooks for taking care of us. That sandwich was so big I had to take it to go to finish it.

    Had a craving for a cheesesteak and Monti's was recommended to me. I thought my GPS was crazy because I couldn't find it. It's on a side street. Parking was easy enough. I walked in and it's a nice neighborhood spot with a full bar. I was greeted by a nice guy that was working the bar. All the tvs had sports playing, if you're into sports you should check it out. He handed me a menu and I ordered a 12 inch cheesesteak hoagie with white American cheese and onion rings. The hoagie also included lettuce, tomatoes, grilled onions and mayo. Since I had a 10 minute wait, I ordered a beer. Can't remember what kind but it was good. I went home and tore into that cheesesteak it was really good. The beef was plentiful which it had more onion. ( I'm an onion freak.) The onion rings were good but the dipping sauce helps elevate the rings. The 12 inch was big enough that I was able to cut it in half and have a good midnight snack.

    Authentic Philly Cheesesteak with Chicken (the saltiest thing I've ever eaten
    Herb L.

    Ordered the cheesesteak with chicken instead of the original steak and I've never been more disappointed. I've had their food before and found it delicious (the only reason they got 2 stars from me) but this sandwich was the saltiest thing I've ever eaten. Tasted like every part of the sandwich was oversalted. Only ate half before I had to stop which is very unusual for me

    The authentic cheese steak was a hit......Piping hot and fresh. The waitress was welcoming and nice as well. I would definitely recommend Monti's.

    Medium Philly cheesesteak with smoked provolone

    My God! How did I not stop here before?! Got the medium Philly with smoked provolone and it was incredible. I was the first customer. Excellent service and speed of food. Beautiful, clean and upbeat atmosphere. I'll be back!!

    Authentic Philly Cheesesteak and cheese Fries
    Samantha C.

    If you're looking for a quality Philly cheesesteak, Monti's is your place. The meat is seasoned perfectly, soft bread, salty, creamy cheese. Get the fries with the cheese sauce. So good! We got the 12 inch sandwiches and took the second half home for later!

    First time at the new place for Monti's!!

    The Rocky is one of my favorite sandwiches on the north side. If you're ordering delivery, get the fries extra well done.

    The food has gotten back to what it was before the fire (after a bit of a dropoff while at the temporary location.)

    Ask the Community - Monti's

    Do you have the Eagles games on? Do we need to come early to get a seat?

    Always have the eagles on. We have NFL Sunday ticket. Usually can get a seat but it does fill up occasionally.

    Does this place do carryout?

    Yessir. I get carry out all of the time.

    Can I bring kids/kid friendly?

    For sure. I brought my 2 9-year olds. No place better in Chicago to educate the little ones on how to make a proper cheese steak!

It was three of us meeting for dinner and some drinks. My friend had white wine, hubby had an Espressotini, and I the watermelon-cucumber marg. We ordered the cauliflower ceviche, the Cauliflower wings, and the Brussels sprouts as appetizer. Then as an entree, my friend had the Jalisco Burger, hubby had the Salmon, and I a Salmon Caesar Salad. I personally loved the salad and the appetizers were great. Everyone else ate ALL their food, so I assume they also enjoyed it. The location was actually having an 80s night and there was a Dj and space for dancing. There were some people there dress for the themed night and it was just a great vibe. Talking with our friend and eating made us lose track of time and then it was time to leave but before we did, we met one of the owners who actually recommended I come by and visit. (Shoutout to Marcos ) He is the most warm and sunny person, and he was so grateful we actually came by. We had a shot and honestly I'd come back because of him. He told us a little bit about him, his family and about the restaurant backstory. I truly recommend you coming here, you will have a great time. Oh, and almost forgot, they have outside sitting, so you know it will be a great time when you just want to have an outside patio vibe with friends and some drinks. P.s. As you can tell, there are only two pictures. I was so, involved in the moment with my friend's stories and then the appetizers came and nothing else mattered. We all lost track of time and just enjoyed the vibe, the beautiful night, and time with friends, drinks, and food. Oh and 80s music.

It was served with aioli and a healing serving of chips. I've never eaten seafood and been vegetarian for over 30 years, but my boyfriend had a taste and also thought it was good and said they got the right flavor profile. He got the burger and tots and said both were very good. I'll definitely be back!
