I can't get enough of Monty's! We need one of these closer to Corona/ Murrieta etc. Spread them throughout the Inland Empire please! We need more Monty's locations! It's either Riverside or Los Angeles. The Los Angeles location is nice because it has standard restaurant seating and the vibe is full on Monty's! It's so cool! I hope they grow and open more locations. My husband and I just drove an hour to get to the Riverside location. We're only able to come once a month because it's so far away. We would hit it once a month if it were closer, maybe more than once a month. Service is always great at this location. They have stickers and buttons available. The seating is bar stools at a counter inside the food lab. The food is amazing! It's always perfectly made and it hits the spot when we miss the Monty's plant-based chicken. The burgers are good. Love the fries and tots! Definitely do the "maxed out" tots or fries. Those are the best! I love the kale salad and add chicken on top. My husband loves the chicken burgers. We always bring friends here to try Monty's plant-based grub! This place rocks. read more

As a 10 year vegetarian I had to try this place. I ordered 2 good burgers, 50/50 (fries and tots w/side of ranch), and a cherry cola. The burger was pretty good, but I've had better. Fries and tots were decent. Would love to come back to try the dog and chicken sandwich. Service was quick. They had a good amount of counter seating but it was pretty busy. I absolutely love their mascot though and they have free stickers that look like him. All food is vegetarian friendly! 100% plant-based. read more

Literally the best food! This is a plant based burger alternative and the food does not disappoint. This location is inside of the foodlab food hall in downtown Riverside. The food was hot, fresh and delicious. There's a handful of sauces to choose from if you get the tenders and I like the option of fries or tater tots. Definitely check them out. Serviced was really good too! read more

Stopped by Monty's this evening for dinner to go. I had a double "cheeseburger", the 50/50 tater tots/fries and a chocolate shake. All of it was delicious and all of it was vegan! The burger was a big tasty messy juicy mess, just the way I like it. The fries and tots were crispy and hot and the chocolate shake was extra thick and creamy good. Monty's totally nailed it. So satisfying! Counter service is fast and friendly. They hustle to get your order out nice and hot. If you are craving fast food and are in the mood for a classic fast food burger then come here directly. Highly recommend. read more

This location is always our first stop or last stop when driving in or leaving LA. We have been coming to Monty's Good Burger for many years. This location is situated in a shared food court type location. It's too bad that Monty's isn't back home. But they make you feel like you're eating traditional fast food. The staff at this location is always on top of their game. They are always helpful if you have any menu questions or suggestions. If you're lucky enough to sit on their counter. It's a throwback to an old school diner. Burgers, hotdogs, chicken tenders, tots, fries or milkshakes. It's all good and worth a try! They have plenty of seating in their shared dining area. read more

So initially me and my wife had no idea that Monty's was purely plant based... but we decided what the heck let's give it a go. We are now in love with Monty's good burger and we plan on going back often!!!! So the restaurant is in a kind of packing house with a bunch of other restaurants. They have a really fun old school diner vibe with a lot of vibrant lighting and stool seating. The service was amazing!! There was. Team of three there and me and my wife talked to Johnnie and Breezy. They walked us through the menu and their favorite sauces. They were also a very fun energetic bunch and just made the experience of Monty's that much more enjoyable. As for food my wife got a single and I got a double burger, with an order of tater tots and an order of French fries. We found out they had a version of the fries with cheese, grilled onions and sauce soooo we dove in and upgraded. I got their Macha shake and my wife got the Oreo one . She loved hers and I honestly mine was the best and first macha shake I've ever had and it was amazing!!! Over all Monty's is a wonderful healthy alternative, me and my partner loved everything we had and can't wait to go back. There is a lot of heart and love for the food and staff. read more

Peer to good vegan burgers! This is the only spot I go to when at riverside food lab. Super yummy tater tots and house sauce. Can never go wrong. The service was adequate, nothing to complain about but it always was spectacular. Ambiance has more to do with the riverside food lab than Monty's. But it's horrible to say the least. read more

It was my first time trying Monty's. The service was great. It is located inside the Food Lab, which is cool because you can grab other beverages or desserts after your meal. I didn't realize this was a plant based hamburger, my bad. I ordered the double cheeseburger burger. It lacked a little bit of flavor, the fries were good. I'm sure anyone who eats plant based meals would probably love this place, unfortunately it was not for me. read more

Stopped by on Friday for a sweet treat! The staff was nice and I felt welcomed, not crowded at all. I ordered a small strawberry shake. I thought it was good. It didn't blow me away/ I wouldn't go out of my way to get it, but I didn't hate it! For a vegan shake it was great. I tried my friends coffee milkshake and it tasted very watered down with crumbs of coffee. I also tried the matcha milkshake and it was creamy and did taste like matcha. Strawberry was still my favorite though! Haven't tried anything else off the menu so can't attest to those. read more

Ordered a Double Cheeseburger and Maxed Out 50/50 Fries n Tots. Bomb, reminded me of a lost steak house restuarant flavor, grilled onions gave the burger a whole different taste than a usual burger. The 50/50 fries n Tots were really good too. Not over sauced and fresh tasting potatoes. Definitely enjoyed my first taste of Montys. Will return to try a milk shake and Nashville Not Chicken Sandwich. read more

At the center of the Riverside Food Lab, Monty's Good Burger seemed like a popular choice as it draws a solid flow of customers. And deservingly so. It was unexpectedly good for a fully plant-based meal. The impossible burger still had that slightly different texture, but unless you really paid attention it's quite spot on. The "cheese" if you can call it that is fantastic on the dog pile 50/50 of fries and tots. This one isn't on the menu. If you're looking for a regular soda, you'll need to go to another vendor as they only serve a few limited specialty drinks here. It's a shared commons area but seating is ample and parking is validated for 1.5hrs. read more

Pretty good vegan fast food. Just pricey though. I've enjoyed their chicken sandwich as well as their burgers. Tots are delish. I just wish they offered the frozen hot chocolate all year round because that was their best flavor soft serve/shake! But they only have it around January. Sadface. The matcha one is also good but it's too grainy, per the last time I had it. Needed to be mixed more. Their floats are ok and the hotdog is ok too. read more

If you are a meat eater, this place is not for you. The burger lacks any type of seasoning and is extremely overpriced compared to in-n-out and other burger places. Furthermore, the owner is extremelyyy nasty. Filter the reviews to lowest rated, and you'll see the owner arguing in a nasty manner. read more

Parking was difficult. I had to park a few blocks from the restaurant because this was my first time there. We ate here on a busy weekend. The tables were all full, and I was impressed with how quickly someone appears to clean the table. We ordered double patties with shakes and fries. There were three of us. It went by so fast because the place was so packed that we could barely hear ourselves speak. I enjoyed the food. Maybe I should come on a weekday when it's not as busy to really enjoy the experience. read more

First time trying a Monty's Burger and it was GOOD! Their plant based/vegan burgers were one of the better ones I've had! Their flavors were good and the double is pretty massive. Decided to go ahead and get the 50/50 fries and tots and a drink to try it out. It's came out to about $25. A hefty price point but I think worth it for portion size and to me it tasted great. Service was quick got my order in about 10 minutes and the seating was bar style. I got my order to go since there's other seating around the food hall. I'm happy I finally got to have a chance to try Monty's but it won't be the last time I get another burger in the future! read more

Key Points: - Delicious plant based burgers - Creamy plant based shakes This is a long overdue for Monty's Good Burger! I'm trying to clean out my yelp draft box so found my unfinished draft for Monty's. I first visited years ago while living in Riverside. This was my introduction to plant based burgers and it completely changed my perspective, particularly the Impossible burger, which I do seem to prefer over the Beyond. The Mrs. And I visited long before we had the Little One. So it was just us two. Food: - Double burger: juicy, flavorful, and savory, with a texture that could easily rival any traditional burger. - Vanilla milkshake: Rich, creamy. Hard to believe it's non-dairy and even plant based. - Shoestring fries: solid, though not particularly standout. But hey, fries are almost always inherently vegan anyway, so I wasn't expecting anything groundbreaking. Before Monty's, I wasn't into plant-based burgers, but this spot won me over. It's one of the many excellent options in the Riverside Food Lab, which, along with Monty's, is something I truly miss about living in Riverside. read more

First degree veggie murder! Food so good you'll slap ya mama! The staff is having fun and got the vibes. It's in the food court so there is a great atmosphere all different kinds of cultures. This is my first visit and I'll be back not vegan but it's bussin. read more

located inside the Riverside Food Lab cute diner looking booths to dine in, the service was nice. They were patient as I was looking at the menu. Vegetarian friendly menu including burgers, chicken tenders, chicken sandwich. They also offer ice cream and milkshakes. I got the Nashville Chick'n Sandwich with a side of habanero sauce. The sandwich was the size of my hand. The Chick'n itself was well seasoned, not dry. The habanero sauce was very mild, reminded me of mustard. read more

Very easy to park and walk right down to the food lab, every-time I've parked there has been an attendant at the structure. Lots of options in this area and Monty's is always my go to. All vegan everything which is great, spicy chicken sandwich's and tots are my favorite.

Though I am by no means vegan or vegetarian, this place I have no problem coming back from time to time for this food. The Burgers are a fantastic substitute for the real thing and the trimmings are always fresh. The tots are one of my favorite items and by far the best you'll get anywhere. The lemonade hits the spot every time. The staff is always a delight to speak to and always down to make a suggestion. I love the food lab but this place needs its own brick and mortar and franchise. Great job. read more

So happy to find an all vegan restaurant inside of a food court. The second I saw Monty's I was like nope not looking at other menus: I want Monty's! I got the dog pile with super easy sauce (secret menu) and Charlie's Chicken Sandwich. The dog pile has choice of French fries or tator tots topped with two impossible patties, caramelized onion, cheese, and all their sauces. I got half tator tots and half fries. So delicious! Will definitely be back for more goodness! There's counter seating around Monty's. The food court has restrooms in the back, tall seating and some regular seating. I don't like the seating situation because it's not safe for folks who can't get on the tall chairs and they need more ADA compliant tables. Staff at Monty's are nice. read more

MONTY'S GOOOOODDDD BURGGGEEERRRR...WOHOOOO!!! I have been waiting years to visit this establishment and as it turned out it was our first food stop on our trip before hitting the PCH. My wife has been to the location in Culver City but this one, located inside the Riverside Food Lab, was the first experience for me. I had the Impossible Hot Dog which I have been looking for EVERYWHERE, along with the 50/50 fries and tots and a sparkling strawberry lemonade. It was one of the best fast food meals I have ever had. The ambiance was FIRE and the service was impeccable. I won't be eating any other hot dogs until the impossible hot dogs come to Phoenix AZ. RUN...don't walk to Monty's if you want WORLD CLASS VEGAN FAST FOOD. Eat, Drink, and Be Merry, my Friends!! read more

Super cool shared food hall with multiple vendors and open seating. Stopped in for a treat, Oreo shake, cookie and tater tots.

My boys say it tastes like a real burger. I really just love that we don't have to worry about any meat or dairy products and we still get a decent flavor. We got past the initial concern of whether or not it tastes good & now I have to try the Maxx fries & dog pile which are basically spins of animal-style fries. We're a burger family trying to do better and Monty's checks the boxes when we crave the standard American diet. Kind of pricey but what isn't these days. Try it :) read more

I'm here for the Hot Chicken Sandwich omg! The chicken sandwich is a solid 5/5. Not too spicy, just enough to add the flavors. I was also impressed with their soft serve ice cream. I've been on a mission find the best vegan soft serve and this one is up there!! For $5 it gives you that soft serve creamy texture. Friendly & quick. Casual dining experience. Wish there were more Monty's nearby. read more

Good burgers, great marketing! On our way to Stagecoach, we stopped by Food Labs to grab dinner and I decided to try Monty's after noticing they were a vendor slated to be at Stagecoach as well. Monty's has set the bar for me for great tasting vegan food. The entire crew was vibrant, friendly, and guided me through my first visit. I opted for the spicy chicken sandwich and WOW was I blown away! The patty had amazing flavor, texture, and taste. The brioche buns were done to perfection, and the sauces paired very well with the sandwich. I have been exploring other vegan options, but nothing has topped Monty's for me. On our trip back from Stagecoach, we stopped by Food Labs again and I was able to try the "cheeseburger" option, but I did not find it as enjoyable as the chicken sandwich. Get your vegan fix here, you won't regret it! read more

Really good vegan burgers, promise you won't tell the difference. Only three employees working when I arrived so they were a bit slow on getting orders out. (Saturday around 3-4pm) Love that it's inside a food hall with many other options incase someone wants something different. Lots of seating indoor and outdoor, parking was a breeze. Some of the restaurants have TVs so you can watch any sports game while you enjoy your food. Spent $50 for two people, thought it was on the pricey side but the food was good so no complaints. read more

First time trying Monty's Good Burger. The burgers themselves were filling, savory, and fair sized. The milkshake was really but nothing too special and the fries were somewhat lackluster. The service was good and the ambiance was really friendly/unique. My partner and I were really entertained by the word search and coloring supplies on the tables! Haha! It feels like a fun late night environment and I would definitely stop by again! read more

I majorly appreciate a business that makes things right when there is an issue and this place is that kind of business. I also totally recommend this place as a treat for those who eat beef.

I finally made it to Monty's Good Burger after hearing friends rave about it for months, and wow--this place totally caught me off guard, in the best way possible. First off, I had no idea it was fully plant-based when I walked in. I just saw the lineup of colorful burgers, crinkle-cut fries, and the classic red-and-white checkered trays and thought, "Alright, classic burger joint vibes." It wasn't until I was halfway through devouring my food that I realized none of it had meat. And honestly? I didn't miss it one bit. I ordered the single Monty's burger, fully loaded, with their signature sauce and grilled onions, and it hit all the nostalgic fast food notes while still tasting clean. The patty had that satisfying char and juiciness that made me forget I wasn't eating beef. Add to that the pillowy bun and fresh pickles, and you've got a burger that's just ridiculously craveable. The fries? Absolute perfection. Crisp, golden, and tossed in just the right amount of salt. I went all in and got the loaded version--topped with grilled onions, melted plant-based cheese, and that creamy house sauce that I swear could make cardboard taste amazing. I also grabbed one of their dairy-free milkshakes (I chose strawberry), and it straight up tasted like something out of a 1950s diner--thick, sweet, and ice-cold, with zero weird aftertaste. I kept double-checking like, how is this vegan again? Monty's also wins on atmosphere. The vibe is super fun and playful, almost like a retro comic book come to life. There's free parking (bless), friendly staff who genuinely seem stoked about the food, and everything felt super clean and efficient. If there's one downside, it's that it's not exactly cheap--but considering the quality, the plant-based ingredients, and how full and satisfied I felt afterward, I'd say it's more than worth it. Bottom line: Monty's isn't just "good for vegan"--it's just good, period. I walked in a skeptic and walked out a convert. This place turned a casual lunch into a full-blown moment, and yes, I've already planned what I'm ordering next time. read more

Hi guys today came by Riverside's Food Lab to try out a few places. Monty's our first stop. Always wanted to try them out. Although I am a little bias because I am naturally a carnivore I came with an open mind. I ordered the Double Burger my wife had the Kale Ceasar Salad which was fresh and light nice sized portion you can actually share it! and we shared the Maxxed out Fries I had an iced tea and my wife had the crafted root beer. The burger for me unfortunately the texture was mushy and had off putting smell that I couldn't put my finger on. The maxxed out fries were really good though I would compare them to In n Out fries. The atmosphere was really cool has a social atmosphere! Staff was very kind and friendly very inviting service, thank you! I really came here wanting to experience and embrace the vegan side of life. Not bad experience but an eye opener next time I'll try their vegan chicken burger. read more

I absolutely love Montys! I started eating their burgers back when I lived in LA and I was so happy to see them in Riverside when I moved here. Their burgers are so delicious! I love their tater tots' crispiness as well. The Riverside location is inside the Food Lab. If you're looking to stop by quickly, this wouldn't be the ideal location for you as parking is usually tough. You also have to walk inside to order, but it's totally worth it in my opinion! The workers are always professional and get your items out as quickly as they can. They sometimes even like to chat if you're sitting at their counters so that's nice. I did notice, however, that recently their space has gotten dusty and a little dirty. It makes sense that with time they're accumulating dirt, dust, etc. As a customer, though, I was a little disappointed to see for example a dusty fan being used in the area where the food is handled. Hope they get to cleaning it soon! Other than that, enjoy your burgers! read more
