Restaurants in Monticello

“Great variety of great food! Food is always hot and out quickly. Staff is very friendly and helpful! My favorite place to eat lunch when I am working in Monticello!”

“We stopped by on the way home From an FFA convention. June was working and she is absolutely amazing. We had an awesome time. The wine here is really great. And we love that there are no preservatives. If you buy some bring a cooler. They only sell it cold. We still had a 3 hour drive home. We did have a cooler but no ice. June gave us some frozen water bottles to keep it cold. They have a beautiful atmosphere and gorgeous outdoor setting.”

“We have ordered from here several times now. Pick up is very quick! we love the choices and have never had any issues with the food. very friendly workers. favorites are general tso chicken, lobster ragoon, and chicken hibachi”

“Was out and about today and stopped in for first time. Yummy! Glad I did. Very nice people!!”

“Service was fast, there is limited soda options but lots of food options. I got the carnita tacos and they were great. If your appetite is on the smaller side, I would recommend only 1-2 tacos. The restaurant itself is a bit dingy but the food is good regardless of setting.

Dietary restrictions: They remembered to take the cilantro off my taco, and were very accommodating”

“great place for the family to stop in an eat! everything we ate was fantastic and tons of food for the price ! loved the onion strings and burger was huge and made to perfection ! deff will be back ! my 8 yr old loved the atmosphere and our server was very nice 👍”

“Absolutely the BEST wings, and killer signature poppers!!!! Don’t miss out on the momma sue wings. Or the shipwreck burger, if you can handle that, maybe go out back and try the mechanical bull?? See you at whiskey!!!”

“what an amazing team they have. the orange Amaretto was amazing and the all you can eat prime rib and seafood was to die for for an amazing price! very kid friendly will definitely be back!”

“Cheeseburger’s & mozzarella cheese sticks best in town!🍽”

“Came here with family from Illinois while visiting Indiana beach and it hit the spot. Fries are the best I’ve had in awhile. Waitress was attentive and nice .”

“The owners are great people. Great environment to hang out. They also support local businesses. Stop in and get a beer and enjoy this clean local bar!!!”

“Fresh and delicious food!”

“Highly recommend the Abe’s BLT pizza! It was delicious. Always awesome service! If you haven’t tried it you are missing out!”

“I tried a flight of the beers here and it was quite a range of different flavors. Most of the beers were of good quality, and the Bloody Marie blood orange stout and The Pumpkin were excellent. The Wetsuit beer was not to my liking. I’m guessing I visited during a less busy period, because it seemed a bit depressing but I could imagine it being more lively with enough people. I’m hoping that was just a rare event. The staff seemed friendly, although there might have been only one working with customers. The beer definitely shows promise.”

“Smokey and welcoming dive bar complete with charming regulars, excellent bartender, dim lights, good drink prices, darts, two pool tables, and a wicked fun karaoke night on Thursdays.”

“Flavors come and go. Some seasonal and some at random it seems. It is some of the best ice cream around. Earl Gray tea ice cream, fat Elvis, exhausted parent, and so many more flavors. Cash, card, and Venmo accepted. Plenty of games. Checkers, connect four, and others.

Parking: Park as close as you can get along the curb. Usually spots are available but I don't get around there during peak hours either”

“Beautiful space and I got a delicious lavender/vanilla frappe”

“I got a grilled cheese and root beer float. The grilled cheese was amazing! Brioche bread and white American cheese!! Yum!! My float had enormous scoops of creamy vanilla with triple x root beer! She also gave me the root beer bottle with the left over root beer in it. Great place!”

“My kids and I love this bakery store!!! Takes us back when we were kids. My daughter is autistic and this place is the only one where I can find the fill in cream cheese bread? that she likes. Hope they are here for a very long time bc I don’t feel like driving all the way to chicago to find this type of bread . Freshly made”

“Since last fall I’ve eaten dinner here every couple of weeks. Service is great, food has always been good and served hot. The specials are alwaysworth a try. Yes when it’s busy food and drink orders take a little longer, try to get over it. If you’re deathly allergic to a certain fruit, don’t order drinks that are garnished with that fruit.”

“First time here. Came to see my son’s band. Food was delicious. Margarita pitcher special on Saturday night.”

“Very awesome food!!!!!!!!”

“BEST RESTAURANT IN THIS TOWN! I go there most of the time I’m craving something good and was definitely worth the wait:)”

“First time at this Arni’s. Food is great like all the others but honestly, the atmosphere is not good. Only Arni’s I’ve ever been to where you order at counter and then sit down and wait for your food. I had a party of six and everybody’s food came out at vastly different times. Defeats the whole purpose of going out with friends or family to dine together.”

“This place is awesome! The staff is so friendly and helpful and always makes you feel welcome. They serve the highest quality protein in the smoothest and tastiest shakes there are! Definitely check them out!”

“So, I visited this bar while in town visiting family, regret not coming here sooner. The atmosphere is something else. It is a very clean establishment in all aspects. The staff was super friendly as well as all other customers their, which happened to be their regulars. We were served our drinks in no time, ordered a pizza and also came out rather quickly. We did go on a Thursday night, which wasn't busy, they had a Darts League going, but wasn't busy. One thing that stood out was that they stay open late, limited kitchen services as well. Will definitely not be going to any other bars while in the area. We played pool, which their table was in great condition if not new and their pool cues were true. They had a good selection of music playing and they have the TouchTunes available as well. We had a few beers and other selection of drinks which were all faired price. 10/10 recommended for anyone looking at grabbing a brew or mixed drinks. Their restrooms were super clean, parking lot is ample and will be going back a few more times before I bounce out of town.”

“I tried to handle this privately with an email to the company but over a week without a response I decided to leave it here as a review. We stopped in for our 1st time on Saturday for a late lunch – in between the lunch and dinner guests. The food was delicious! The service however wasn't so great. Our waitress took forever to come & get our drink order (another table came in a few minutes after us and had their drinks before our waitress even got to our table). When we asked for the soup of the day she didn't know and would check and get back to us. The menu, which she said “is a new menu” didn't specify the entrée meals for 2 sides vs other options, which we found some came with only 1 side, sandwiches only come with house chips and pasta came with soup and/or salad. If you look entree up it is “main course” so since the menu didn't tell us – the sandwhich was our “main” course they thought they'd get 2 sides also. This is when the waitress went thru every section of the menu to tell us what it came with. Then we asked the difference between grilled and fried. (Fried is normally referred to as cooked in oil on the stove top) … she finally told us it was “breaded of course” and then with a look of like, 'duh what else would it be'. She got huffy (really, kind of rude) about answering our questions and answered them like we were dumb. We were also seated as far away from the outside door as we could have been and she had us and the outside, where she stayed most of the time. Another waitress brought our food. Then we had to go ask another waitress for a refill and to go containers. Our waitress came back in, in time to give us our bill. She got a good tip – hope she shared! We would try it again but I probably wouldn't want the same waitress.”

“Fun afternoon in Whoville! The cafe is all decked for Christmas with signature drinks and wine. We had an appetizer and pizza and the food was delicious Go and drink in the atmosphere and the wine!”

“Went there this evening for my daughter’s 14th birthday dinner. We specifically chose Casedores because I thought it would be so fun to have the staff sing and bring out a sombrero for her. We made reservations, invited grandparents and told our waitress it was her birthday. Waiting on one persons food while others ate and water refills after we were all done with our meal is besides the point. The waitress did ask what dessert she wanted so I got out my phone to video them singing. The waitress brought her dessert out and I asked her, oh do you sing anymore? Her response “yes we do but we’re busy” What a punch in the gut for my daughter. It probably would have taken less than 3 minutes to sing and make a teenager’s evening. So if they read this, no matter how busy you are sing and make someone’s day a little more special. It’s not about the free dessert you get it’s the experience.”

“Great food and service with a nice view of the river. Always enjoyable.”

“First time here. Came to see my son’s band. Food was delicious. Margarita pitcher special on Saturday night.”

“Fast, fresh and friendly every frickin' time !! :)”
