This is my first time eating a burger from this restaurant, and I must say, I am beyond impressed. I have the double cheeseburger, which tastes nothing short of an actual double cheeseburger. I also got the tater tots / fries mix, and that was extremely delicious as well. However, the MVP of the entire meal, besides the burger, was the banana shake. It was completely vegan and it agreed with every inch of my stomach. I would highly recommend anyone who is looking to switch their diet, to try Monty's first.

Have been seeing recommendation for Monty’s burger everywhere. I’m not a vegan nor vegetarian but I don’t like meat and rarely eat meat. For those who aren’t meat eaters, this place may be good since I only have a handful of vegetarian burger experience but for the rest, you can not compare this to in-n-out or say it’s a decently good burger. I honestly can’t say this burger isn’t worth paying or returning. Taste - 2/5: as described before, don’t compare this to in-n-out just because it has a thousand island sauce. It’s not the same. Also, the burger is simple and plain. Nothing innovative except they did a decent job trying to make meatless meat taste like meat. However, it’s obvious it’s not meat. This may just be me but I have always had a hard time finishing beyond burger or other meatless meat burgers; you can say that it makes me feel queasy? monty’s were no different, I had a really hard time taking in those last two bites. Lastly, sides are sides and so are the sauces, again, nothing special. The oil made the fried side foods taste very old. It had a good bite to it though. Price -0/5: it may be that it’s located in KTown so rent and labor is expensive but to pay 20 for a single cheeseburger, drink, and side of fries/tator mix (sauce is 1 extra) is RIDICULOUS. How is a meatless burger that is around 5” in diameter more expensive than a gourmet burger? Also, just went to in-n-out (haven’t been there in a while) and although their prices differed than before, a full combo meal was less than 9. Service - 2/5: a lot of people are there to pick up their online or call orders, for first timers they need to clearly mark “pick up order” location. Workers were friendly. Convenience - 0/5 street parking in busy street. Good luck. Cleanliness - N/A hard to tell due to covid and since everything from ordering to pickup is done outside. Oils from fried food did taste stale and old.
Mmm super good! Personally didn't like the grilled onions on my maxed fries (I should asked what came on them, but I know for next time ) but other than that super good!!
Many people had recommended Monty's as one of the best burgers in LA. Unfortunately, we were quite disappointed. It's a good burger, but it's not one that I would go out of my way for. One general issue I've found with Impossible-based burgers is they dry out quickly. Monty's is no exception here and the burgers were pretty dry by the time we got home. The fries I ordered both had an unpleasant aftertaste, almost as if they were cooked in old oil. The \milkshake\ also tasted a bit funny, but not unpleasant, and had a consistency closer to icing than a milkshake. Overall, Monty's offers a good plant-based burger, but not one that competes with the best burgers in town.
We drove out for my birthday. The food was amazing and they were really sweet about us being new to their menu. I got a birthday bowl as well, which came with a massive button. It absolutely made the day fun and special.
