**4.7/5 ✨ Monty’s Good Burger Alhambra: Chicken & Waffles That Nail the Classics**

Tucked in the Main Street plaza in Alhambra (right next to the Edwards theater), **Monty’s Good Burger** has expanded beyond burgers with a killer **chicken and waffles** that’s become my new weekend ritual . The spot keeps that signature Monty’s vibe—bright retro signage, vegan-friendly roots, but now with this crispy fried chicken upgrade that’s 100% plant-based yet scarily convincing. The **convenient location** makes it an easy stop after movies, shopping, or just cruising the SGV—plenty of parking in the lot, too.

Ordered the **chicken and waffles**, and the chicken was **perfectly cooked**—shatteringly crunchy exterior, juicy and tender inside with that signature Monty’s seasoning that somehow tastes like real fried chicken. It sits atop a massive, golden waffle that’s thick and fluffy with nice crisp edges. Drizzled with maple syrup and served with a side of hot sauce—comfort food heaven.

**Service was friendly** and classic fast-casual: order at the counter, staff with big smiles and quick recommendations, food out in under 10 minutes even when busy. Outdoor seating is great for people-watching on Main St.

Only docking 0.3 because, while delicious, it doesn’t quite reach **fine-dining quality**. The **seasoning** is tasty but straightforward (could use a touch more complexity or heat), the **waffle mix** is solid but not the ultra-buttery, yeasted perfection of higher-end spots, and the **syrup** is standard maple rather than something house-infused or premium.

Still, Monty’s chicken and waffles are easily one of the best fast-casual versions in the area—crispy, satisfying, and shockingly good for plant-based. At this consistency and convenience, it’s a strong 4.7. I’m already craving my next plate. Alhambra, you’re lucky to have this location.

This review is long overdue! Been to Monty’s multiple times. Good food at an affordable price! The menu has a lot to offer. A good variety, from a cold Italian sandwich to a cheese steak, to a breakfast burrito, to chicken and waffles. A little bit of everything. And the breakfast is served all day. Everything is made fresh when you order it.
The owner is really cool. Definitely will continue to support

I’m going back tomorrow to try their breakfast burrito!!

Had Monty’s on my list for a few months and finally decided to give a try when my wife was craving Chicken & Waffles!

Service was great, very welcoming and took time to talk about their Cheesesteak best sellers and give us recommendations based on our tastes. Even came out after we had been served our food to check on us and offer extra toppings, I got some pickles which paired well with the poblano cheesesteak!

Cheesesteak was perfectly hot off the grill, bread was soft and every bite was juicy. Adding pickle slices a little hot sauce (stole from my wife’s chicken & waffles but I’m sure I could have asked for some at no charge) was the perfect touch.
The chicken was crispy on the outside and meat still juicy. The waffles wasn’t as crispy as my liking but it had good flavor and a dense softness that pair nicely with the chicken.

I called Monty’s a little before they opened to confirm if they really start at 8am on weekends. The owner was so sweet and said, “Come on in, we’ll take care of you.” That small gesture already made my day.

When I got there, the owners took their time to go over the menu with me. I ended up ordering the fried chicken and waffle. The chicken was juicy, well-seasoned, and crispy. The waffle was delicious and had a mochi-like chew that made it stand out. I also tried their G-moe hot sandwich and potato salad. The sandwich was flavorful but the sauce was a bit heavy-handed for my taste, so I’d give it a 4 out of 5. The potato salad was solid and a nice side.

I’m definitely coming back to try their chopped cheese and cold sandwiches next time.

Parking is a small lot in a strip mall, so it might get tight during peak hours, but I didn’t have trouble finding a spot.

Monty’s is an awesome spot that feels very homey. The owners clearly care about their food and their customers. Great addition to Alhambra.

Owner was nice and very friendly. He suggested the Chopped Cheese Sandwich and of course Chicken and Waffles! The food was really good, sandwich was amazing, chicken was flavorful and well seasoned! I will definitely come back!! Their price is perfect for their sandwiches and chicken & waffles. I highly recommend this place, and it’s a must try if you haven’t been here before!!

No hate but can’t be 5 stars bro. 3/10. Chopped cheese hella plain and greasy. Fried chicken, 4 piece gave us 2 normal and 3 piddly pieces. Edible, not bad crunch,but salty. Waffle wasn’t even crispy, pretty plain too. Overall, coulda made better at home.

Sandwiches are so damn good, had the chicken poblano. It’s my favorite sandwich now, second be the cheese tea. definitely going back to try the fried chicken. Hands down a must try spot, clean establishment and the simplicity of it is really appealing. Had the guava croissant and it was out of bounce, top tier.

Today I was craving ice cream so I went to Michoacana in Alhambra. Well to my surprise there is a cool place next door called Monty’s that sells chicken and waffles and steak sandwiches and other stuff. I’m always looking to support local businesses so we decided to go in. Cute little place! We ordered an All American streak sandwich with provolone. It was really good! And the best part was the warm greeting when we walked in and the friendly good bye. A sweet lady even asked us if we wanted water because it was a hot day. I love good customer service and genuine friendliness. I’m glad I found this place we will be back to try other items. The sandwich was delicious! We are happy to support!

I tried the chicken waffle at this place. They give you two pieces – a drumstick and this massive chicken breast. The waffle had this interesting chewy texture, kind of reminded me of those Asian mochi waffles if you’ve ever had those?

The drumstick was pretty decent, but that chicken breast was so dry I struggled to get through it. The staff was super nice though – they even gave us free cookies! Sweet gesture, but honestly, probably not enough to bring me back for another visit. Such a shame because I was really looking forward to it! ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
