Dinner Saturday night was good. The place was busy as expected for a Saturday night but we were seated within 20 minutes of our arrival. We had just enough time to grab a cocktail at the bar and enjoy the outside area while we waited. Cheers to the very busy bar team. We were waited on very quickly and our drinks is were well balanced and exactly the same. I ordered the Veggie sandwich with aioli dressing and broccoli salad side salad. I would highly recommend this dish if you want something filling but not overly heavy or hot. My friend ordered the sweet potatoes, her personal favorite, and raved about them. The service was great and the place had a relaxed vibe to it. On a personal note: it was really loud (for my taste) conversations had to be shouted to hear and it's hard to enjoy the great weather and outdoor space with the street noise so close ,the motorcycles that liked to crews by periodically to rev their engines several times during our dinner it made it less than enjoyable dining and for conversation. I love a good patio during nice weather but for me the noise level was so high it was hard to truly enjoy the dining experience as a whole. In general a great place to spend the eve in for dinner and drinks if you don't mind shouting and loud noise throughout your stay. read more

Usually such such good food and service but that girl server with the red cat eye glasses has 0 service skills. Two of her three tables had to get up and ask for her. No personality and literally said 4 things and checked on our table 0 times. Got our drinks.... Gave me water after I asked for a DR.P. Didn't see her again till we had to go ask our check. read more

We ordered Taco salads and all in all they were good. I was a little disappointed that the salad didn't come in a flour tortilla shell, but otherwise it was a good salad. Tea was good and the service was good also. We will be back to try something else. read more

While we were visiting we stopped in for dinner. This place is very open and trendy with a great relaxed atmosphere. Our waitress was very kind and helpful. We started out with mushrooms with burned ends along with peppers and goat cheese . I had the roast beef and cheddar sandwich with house made BBQ chips. My husband had the grilled cheese with sweet potato tots. The meal was very nice and we left with a full stomach! Definitely would go again! read more

My first time trying The Monarch. I was impressed with the simplicity of the menu and the service was friendly. I had the French Dip sandwich which I highly recommend. My wife's birthday is coming up soon and I plan on taking her here for lunch. Great experience, a new favorite of mine. read more

Located at the circle on Douglas in the Delano area, the Monarch is somehow bigger inside than it is outside. This may be related to the 2 patios and the garage doors that link the outside and inside spaces - creating an open and cheery atmosphere. The menu is inviting - everything sounds delicious, and the food at neighboring tables looked promising. We enjoyed the chicken salad sandwich and hot potato salad and a Wilbur sandwich with sweet potato tots. The portions were just right and the food was tasty. Our server was helpful guiding us through our selections. read more

Loved the monarch! Their sandwiches are HUGE and delicious! They have a variety of drinks as well, and are pet friendly in their patio! The service was exceptional, very attentive! read more

All I have to say is you better fast before you go to this restaurant. The cheese board alone could feed a small country. After that, I didn't have much more room so I got a cup of their tomato soup. Creamy and housemade! Cozy vibes and comfort food! The patio is fantastic. I had to fly in on a Sunday so everyone was having their Sunday funday. read more

Service was awesome, and the food was incredible! Started with the sweet potato loaded tots. Had the Cubano and broccoli salad for my entree. All of the food was amazing!! read more

Hannah Maria you made our night! The food and drinks were great and so was the service! The atmosphere was fun and relaxed too! So many lovely plants and lights! So many great servers being friendly with everyone! Great place! We will be back and bring friends too! Give Hanna a raise! She's an absolute gem! ;) read more

I came here for lunch on a Saturday. It was pretty busy when I arrived, but I was seated right away. I was sat near the bar area at a high top table. With tvs around, it gave off a sports bar vibe. Since I was alone, it was nice to watch the tv. Food: I ordered the fried mushrooms to start. The serving size was larger than I was expecting, and they were delicious! I absolutely enjoyed them. I also ordered the veggie sandwich. The sandwich was pretty good. The fries were crispy too. Service: Service was friendly. The food came out promptly as well. I did think my mushrooms would come out first, but all the food came out at once. TL;DR - Good restaurant with a sports bar vibe read more

This place was recommended to me by google and it has a very high reviews. So, my friend and I decided to give it a try. The inside was very nice and the customer service was good. The only thing I don't like is the food. It was very bland and has no flavor at all. Overall I give it a 3/5 read more

Service was great considering our large party of 18. Lots of places to sit and food options were good. Had the popular Cuban and it was good...fries were really awesome. Also had old fashioned and they came out really good with a block ice. Highly recommend!!! read more

Well, I was served my Reuben on sourdough bread rather than rye bread. The waiter. tried to bamboozle me and tell me that was rye. I know the difference. Thank goodness, the broccoli salad made up for it. read more

3.9/5 First time at the Monarch. I can't say it left a huge impression on me but that doesn't mean my experience was bad. I just personally feel there's not a lot that sets this establishment apart from the next "American cuisine" eatery. That being said it was quite busy for a Sunday night but I was able to walk right in. All three staff I had interactions with were plenty friendly. There was a small mix up with who was supposed to be serving our table between servers but it was quickly hashed out. Ambiance: open air, nice patio, pretty standard for a restaurant of its type. No loud music thank goodness. Food: as many have said the fried green beans are where it's at. The aoli it came with was particularly tasty as well. The spinach artichoke dip is definitely one of the better ones I've had and I appreciate the variety of chips, veggies, and flat breads with it. Most places just give you one kind. I had the veggie flat bread. Probably my least favorite thing. It looked unappetizing (I wish I had taken a picture) and all the moisture of the vegetables and cheese made it floppy and soggy. The pesto was a little too heavy and it was quite oily. The sweet potato tots were GOOD. Like give me a whole basket of those. My friend said her cuban was quite good as well. Overall some hits some misses. Pretty standard restaurant fair and there's something on the menu for everyone. read more

Great good, found on Yelp to try the fried green beans, they were a HIT and it's a generous portion! The waitress was so kind and accompanying as we had a toddler, beer was good and we were able to sit outside so zero complaints here! read more

Restaurant/pub located in downtown Wichita. A few locals recommended this spot so we checked it out for Sunday brunch. Bottomless mimosas are apparently against the law in Wichita but they do offer $5 mimosas. There is also a great selection of bourbons and beers. We started with the goat cheese peppers which were amazing. They guys had the wings which they said were excellent with some spice. For my meal I had the pork Mac and cheese. Two people could definitely split this. Our waiter was super attentive and friendly. read more

Not Horrendous, but even though it was my first time in Wichita (visiting from Los Angeles) I managed to find better food. I ordered a Rueben, and being from L.A., where there are a LOT of Jewish Delis with OUtstanding sandwiches, maybe I held them to a high bar. I tried to take this into consideration, but the Rueben was just simply....lacking a bit, a bit in saucieness, sourkrout, flavor, texture. It just was what it was. Service was a bit lack luster. Food was dropped off at table with "no" silverware, and few other oversights that I won't get into. MY ex ordered mac n cheese with ribe tips or ends? It came to the table "cold." She didn't even eat it. It was taken off the bill. Sorry gang. I always "hope" to give rave reviews but.... read more

We absolutely loved this place! We came here on a Monday afternoon for a late lunch before we had to go to the airport. We would have loved to get some bourbon but thought that might not be wise before our flight. So we got a beer...my husband got an IPA and I got a stout called Buffalo Sweat (that made me literally LOL). Our waitress was Julia and she was just lovely! She recommended the green beans and the Wilbur. We got both, along with the loaded sweet potato tots. The Wilbur was ok, the tots were great, but the green beans were the best thing we had on our week long vacation! My local bar at home has them and I used to love them but now I don't know if I can ever eat them again because I'll be comparing them to the Monarch! And Julia also made us a list of her favorite shops and other places to go for us to visit on next trip! Top notch! We were very happy with the ambiance, the service, and the food. The value was excellent. We look forward to returning to this establishment when we come back to Wichita. read more

We visited the Monarch on 02/11/26 at the recommendation of our hotel concierge. We arrived at 9pm, seated ourselves and greeted by a very pleasant waitress. We ordered a French dip and a Cuban sandwich. The French fries were cold, the French dip waa flavorless. I asked for horseradish to add some flavor. My friend was about half way done with his sandwich when he bit into a hairball. There were several strands of LONG hair in his sandwich. The waitress came by and asked how our meal was and we told her about the hair. She went and got the manager who never apologized, but offered another sandwich to my friend. Who wants to eat after that? When I went to bed a couple hours after eating, I didnt feel good. I was awake most of the night with an upset stomach. At 4am I threw up my French dip. Definitely was something bad about that sandwich too. Unfortunately that will be the last time we will eat here. Beware when you bite into your sandwich! But the waitress is very nice! read more

Great ambiance! The service was great, we love coming here when in town. The food and drinks are always a staple!

The service was great and so was the food. The inside was nice and clean the only reason I didn't give a 5 star I ordered a martini and it was more vermouth than vodka read more

Just had lunch here. Nice outdoor seating area and great indoor vibe. I had the Taco Salad and the squeeze had the Greek Salad with smoked Turkey. My taco salad was actually burnt ends on lettuce with homemade deep fried chips. The meat was sooooo tender and flavorful. The Greek salad was excellent with a generous amount of meat. They had about 8 beers on tap. We had the Salt Lake IPA. Great malty flavor. The server, Abbey, did an excellent job. Try this place out!! read more

I dont see the hype. My food was dry and bland. The appetizer looked like something I could made myself. Our server wasn't very attentive. It probably stays busy because of the location. read more

The service was stupendous!! My friends and I had a wonderful time. The food was underwhelming, though Im sure it's dependent on what you order. I ordered the Turkey and Cream Cheese sandwich and it was bland, of course not the worst thing food can be. Friends of mine got The chicken pesto flatbread and really enjoyed it, and another friend got the BBQ mac n cheese and was also underwhelmed. Seriously though, no joke, the service was on point. The dining experience was pleasant. My water glass (that I constantly drink from) was never empty. And I had a great time. I definitely recommend the restaurant, just not the specific item I ordered. read more

I ate there today, had the Wilbur with fried green beans. Fabulous sandwich, it was suggested by the waitress, who was very nice. Ambiance was fine but could use some more tv's at the bar. Slightly pricey.. meal and a beer was $20 before tip but it was very good. read more

Really enjoyed my visit to The Monarch last month. First of all, it's got a cool retro type vibe, without being overdone. There was plenty of free parking and the place was easy to find. My bartender, Makalya, took great care of me and made a delicious old fashioned. A friend had recommended the Wilber sammy made with smoked ham, bacon, cream cheese and swiss cheese dressed with jalapeno jelly. Anything with jalapeno always gives me pause as I'm such a spice weenie, but it was perfect. And flavorful. I also enjoyed 1/2 a Greek salad loaded with smoked chicken, tomato, onions, cucumbers, feta, Greek olives and artichokes. Not long after my food arrived I got some bad news from back home in Kansas City and needed to get on the road asap. I always travel with an insulated cooler in my vehicle so I asked Makalya if she could put some ice in a plastic bag for me to keep my food safe for the next few hours during my trip home. She could not have been more pleasant. If you're in Wichita, I recommend checking this place out. Both locals and visitors to Wichita will be made to feel welcome and enjoy some great food and drinks. read more

Want Fast Fresh Delicious food look no further! Want Sh&tty rude service look no further I ordered a absolutely incredible bbq Mac n Cheese, but couldn't enjoy it because I never got my utensils and when I asked my server for the utensils, I was just given a shrug and they scoffed off- My dad who I was dining with was done with his sandwich by the time my utensils came, 15 MINUTES LATER! The ambiance is loud and resembles a sports bar. But foods pretty good actually read more

I am always hopeful each visit I have a sandwich here that it'll improve. It has not. It's not that the ingredients are bad, it's the execution that could make it better. These sandwiches lack any sort of sauce, fat or flavor. The same type of sandwich you'll make at home but never as good as the sandwich shop. A good sandwich when you bite into it has either a good sauce or a wet vinaigrette that unlocks the full flavor of a great sandwich. I had the Italian sandwich and biting into it was difficult. They used French bread toasted where the outer crust of the bread crumbles and makes a mess everywhere. Each bite is like sand pouring everywhere. So not only was the sandwich dry, plain and flavorless, it was also difficult to fit in any normal human sized mouth. You would have to be an alligator or unhinge your jaw to comfortably eat this. If they can fix this their offerings could be amazing. The overall service was great. Our server had good timing and checked in on us regularly. Only suggestion would be observation skills. We added a few more people and he didn't provide any additional napkins and utensils. read more

When visiting Wichita for training a friend and I visited Monarch on a whim. The aesthetic immediately grabbed our attention when we drove past, it's a very welcoming in a Americana kinda way. Looking at the menu everything looked good, so we ordered an appetizer of the Sweet Peppadew peppers which were amazing, and I am absolutely craving still days later. We also ordered the fried green beans which were good, but left me wishing I had ordered the mushrooms of the same variety. We asked our server to make a recommendation since we couldn't pick and he recommended the Wilbur, and the White chicken flatbread. The former, was excellent and very flavorful, with a surprising hint of sweetness from the pepper jelly. The latter was a little heavy and I wasn't particularly impressed but if you are really hankering for a white sauce pizza type dish then it will definitely scratch your itch. Overall amazing experience and I will absolutely be going back when I return in 6 months! read more

We did take out so a a review of the food more than anything though when I got there to pick it up I had multiple folks look up at me and appear to avoid making eye contact or ask why I was there, took about 5 minutes to get someone's attention but they were pretty busy for a Sunday evening. We did the Cuban, the Greek Salad, and the humus to go while stopping over in Wichita for our long drive and really glad we found this place. The food had great flavor, not overly heavy, and the quantities were solid. The Cuban was made very well though i was a bit disappointed the bread was not very pressed as it looked in some of the pictures but would still 100% get it again. The chips seem to be made in house and are very crunchy so can't go wrong there. Only reason for 4 stars is there were multiple other apps we tried to order before landing on the humus because they were out of quite a few things. We will definitely be back if we stop over in the area again. read more
