    I was excited to try this place since I drive by it all the time. But man, it takes 45 min to make a chicken & waffle order?? Yes there were a couple groups of customers waiting ahead of us, but even with a small rush that seems kinda ridiculous. Not even a true sit down restaurant would amount to that prep time. The chicken & waffle was decent in price, $12 for 3 pieces with 1 waffle, but nothing to write home about taste wise. I thought the chicken was a bit burnt, or maybe the oil isn't fresh so the skin color is on the darker side. What really annoyed me is that one of the workers walked out (prob end of her shift) visibly with a box of food, while we were still waiting for our order. Not a great look. Oh, and the restroom is out of order. Cherry on top!

    Great comfort food with some seriously satisfying portions! I recently checked out Monty's in Alhambra and had to try their Legendary Chopped Cheese, Bacon Breakfast Burrito, and Chicken & Waffles. The Legendary Chopped Cheese was definitely a highlight. The bread was fluffy and soft, and the meat was well-seasoned and flavorful. The ketchup and mayo combination reminded me of a thousand island-style sauce and added a nice creamy, tangy flavor to the sandwich. The Bacon Breakfast Burrito definitely didn't skimp on the fillings. It was packed with fluffy eggs, bacon, and crispy waffle fries. There was so much egg in this burrito that it was definitely a filling meal--and the waffle fries were a fun addition. The Chicken & Waffles were also delicious. The chicken was juicy, crispy, and well-seasoned, while the waffle was denser with a nice crispy exterior. I recommend adding maple syrup and hot sauce for that sweet-and-spicy combination. Overall, Monty's is a solid spot for anyone craving hearty comfort food with generous portions. I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu!

    We had a delicious meal at Monty's that serves hot and cold sandwiches, chicken and waffles and breakfast all day! We tried their G-moe's cheesesteak - the bread was soft and the steak was perfectly seasoned and paired well with the cheese and mushrooms. We also had the steak breakfast burrito which is one of my tops on the area. The tortilla is thin, egg is fluffy, waffle fries are crisp and cheese and meat was spot on! Sweet potato fries and house-made potato salad were tasty too. The staff are friendly, prices and portions are great and easy parking in the plaza. Definitely recommend a visit!

    Been hearing about this place and decided to finally come and check it out. The first time of having chopped cheese was in new york so when I heard there was a place near by that does that. It was a must try. Got two sandwiches Legendary chopped cheese, pack with meats and really flavorful and good! It's a big sandwich and they make their rolls in house. Italian godfather was the second sandwich and I felt that it was missing something, it wasn't pack with flavor much. I just added some banana peppers and it helped. Also a big sandwich. Staff really friendly and they cook and assemble in front of you. Parking can be a little tricky here because it shares a lot with other businesses. The chop cheese is a must try and I will be coming back for their chicken and waffles

    I've watched this location come across my social media and decided to give it a try. Surprisingly it was super close to home. To start off, the location is pretty small so parking is very limited. Inside, it's a good size, good amount of tables and clean. The staff were extremely nice and welcoming. We ordered a breakfast burrito and it did not disappoint. It was extremely delicious and a good portion. Pricing is reasonable for the amount of food you get. We are definitely coming back with our family . 10/10.

    Had a meeting today that ran late and I was craving fried chicken and Monty's, was on the way home. Chicken and waffles sounded good for dinner lol. So ordered ahead for pick up on Door Dash and got chicken and waffles, potato salad and an all American cheesesteak. Everything was delicious. Fried chicken was nice and crispy and the waffle was perfect! Cheesesteak was flavorful and tender and bread so soft! Everything just hit the spot. Will definitely be back to try more items! Food was handed over with a smile and service was good. There are some tables for eating in. Small quaint space.

    Went on a Monday night and they were so busy!! We ordered the chopped cheese and g-moes but unfortunately they gave us two chopped cheese. We called and they were super nice about it and gave us the g-moes plus the godfather which we really appreciated it! As for the sandwiches, we thought the chopped cheese was pretty average (3/5), the bread got filling ratio was off and there could have been a bit more flavor but it does the job! The g-moes was really what stood out to us (4/5. The flavors blended really nicely together and the filling to bread ratio was better. The onions and mushrooms worked well with it and every bite was savory, garlic aioli paired well too! The godfather was mid (3/5), pretty standard, needs red onions or something but wouldn't go back for it. Overall I'd get the g-moes again and try their other hot sandwiches! I appreciate that they took care of us for the wrong order!

    Friendly staff, and the owner is super friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home. It's a great spot for lunch. We ordered Monty's No. 1 Chicken & Waffles, the Triple-Decker Club Sandwich, and the Breakfast Burrito with bacon. Everything arrived fresh and made to order. The 2pcs chicken was crispy, the waffles were light and fluffy. Triple decker club sandwich co loaded with fresh ingredients. The breakfast burrito was filling with flavorful bacon. Overall, it's a great neighborhood spot for a satisfying breakfast/ lunch with excellent hospitality.

    Update to my review.... So I took the other half of the cheesesteak to work today for lunch. Heated it up and took a bite and the same overpowering Parmesan like taste was there. I opened it up and noticed that it was absolutely overloaded with garlic. I have a feeling the flavor was the garlic. And also there was no cheese in it because DoorDash doesn't ask you which cheese you want on your sandwich. So again, I probably would not order this again unless I told them no garlic and to add the cheese. I mean it is a cheesesteak so there should be cheese on it. The chopped cheese number one in my book right now.

    Hair sticking out of my patty melt

    I've been to Monty's twice now. First time was a great experience. I believe the owner was there and he seemed very passionate about the menu and ingredients they used. However, I went for a second time yesterday and was deeply disappointed. The owner wasn't there and instead a younger girl took my order and prepared the food. Everything seemed well and fine until I got home, opened my patty melt and found not 1 but 2 long hairs in my sandwich! They were clearly her hairs since she was the only one who handled my food. I went back and returned everything. I didn't see a hair in my other sandwich but couldn't even eat it without thinking what could be in each bite. The same girl was there when I returned and a young guy. I spoke with the guy and he gave me a refund right away and apologized. The girl who had made my food was maybe 5 feet away and couldn't even turn around to look at me or apologize. Very disappointing since the owner seemed like a nice guy who probably works extremely hard to build and maintain his business, only to have it ruined by some employee who couldn't even care enough to take 5 sec to put on a hair net. Shame on her.

    Alhambra is a unique melting pot of different cuisine from different places but I found a hidden gem in a shopping center in Alhambra just block a away from the 10 Freeway called Monty's Alhambra it's a sandwich shop serving cold and hot sandwich and other delicious delights. When I walk in I was greeted by owner of the restaurant then I look at their menu board. They have unique sandwiches their version of Philly cheesesteak including chicken version they also their version of a Chicago Italian beef. A classic patty melt also and other classic a French dip is Monty's French dip is better than Philippe the Original or Cole's French dip next I need to try it. Monty's serve chicken & Waffles their own version on Belgian waffles served with maple syrup & hot sauce. Also served breakfast but only three items on the menu. Also they cold sandwiches like the Italian Godfather and the Midwick When I was looking at the menu it was hard to pick I decided to the Turkey Hoagie changing my mind then I told the owner what he recommended he told the Granada their version of Philly cheesesteak with chicken I decided to order it. It took a while because everything is made fresh and also made to order and the owner brought my sandwich to my table he was so nice. I unwrapped my sandwich it sell really nice release the warm hot stream smell wonderful. The sandwich was cut in half I decided spead the sandwich it looks great. The Granada has chicken,grilled onions,banana peppers,bacon,creamy ranch,pepper jack on a Hoagie roll. A very popular sandwich at Monty's. I took a bite the sandwich I say wow incredible,juicy,pack with multiple flavors in a sandwich. The ingredients combine together in one incredible sandwich. The chicken is well season with flavor and cook with grilled onions and rhe banana peppers with pepper jack cheese bring flavor like sweet and sour in a good term in flavor but creamy ranch add other layer of flavors can you mind can handle multiple layers of flavor I yes. Overall I enjoy the sandwich very much would thanks the owner for the suggestion to try the Granada thank you.

    This spot eats and so will you! We ordered online to avoid waiting, not too sure how fast they are with orders. There was a bit of a line of 5-7 people on a Friday afternoon around 12pm. Legendary Chopped Cheese -sooo good! Everything meshed well together. If you're feeling a juicy beef sandwich that tastes so much like a classic burger with a twist this one is it. All America Cheesesteak -perfect for those picky kiddos since it's pretty plain other than caramelized onions that blends well with the beef. Chicken & Waffle -a must try, the waffle has the prefect chew. If they had waffle on its own on the menu I would order a few. Chicken was a bit dry but I loved that there isn't much of a batter and mostly deep fried crispy chicken skin which I personally like.

    3.8 stars I wasn't sure what to have for lunch, but this restaurant has been on my list for some time, so I decided to stop by. I ordered the Legendary Chopped Cheese ($12) and wasn't disappointed! The sandwich is a hefty boy and very cheesy and greasy. I think it's perfect for winter when everyone needs a bit more fat to feel warm! Anyways, it had grilled onions, cheddar, lettuce, and tomatoes. I'm happy to report that they are generous with the portion. The only thing I wasn't a big fan of was the bread. It's heavy, soaks all the juices a little too well, and had kind of a cake-like texture. The bread wasn't for me, but I liked everything else. Service was the friendly, order-at-the-counter type. There is free parking on site, but it does get packed at night. I'll be back to try their philly cheesesteaks and chicken & waffles in the future.

It was around 90 degrees, but it was so breezy and peaceful here! My friend and I met up here for lunch not knowing what this place was, and we absolutely LOVED it. The food was honestly pretty four star. The prices were alright. We got fish cake udon, veggie bibimbap, popcorn chicken (little nuggets), oat milk latte, and ice matcha. The total with 20% tip came out to $58. I will absolutely be back on a summer day. It's honestly such a cute little vibe. Bathrooms are right there, and they are clean!

    We love it here! It's within the golf course so parking is super easy and the views are wonderful,…read moreespecially at night. Just bring a sweater! Service was really great! They went above and beyond to make sure that we were happy. We came with a big group after the cinema viewing of a kpop (BTS) concert in Busan so we called ahead to let them know what time we'd be there. The kitchen closes at 9pm but the golf course closes at 11pm and thankfully they said we can stay a little longer since it's outside seating. I ordered the Seollongtang soup which my kid devoured haha it was super yummy! Would definitely get that again. She also got the hotdog and we got to try the corn dog that my friend ordered too. Also got the matcha latte. My other friend got the veggie bibimbap. All yummy and everyone got to try a lot of things on the menu which there was nothing but positive feedback for. We aren't in this area much but we don't live too far away either so I'm sure we will be back sooner or later :)
