Cool spot with delicious food and very down to earth and friendly staff. Jo was our waitress and she was very kind and fun. We all sampled off each other’s meals and they were all very good. I will definitely be back. Vegetarian and vegan options. Small parking lot with more options nearby. No stairs but bathroom was tight. Large booths and a few tables.

Me and my son from Indonesia went to Monty’s Blue Plate Diner in January 2026. A restaurant in the west town area of Madison
with a good vibes, delicious food and friendly service.
When we arrive, we are immediately given free mineral water, like most restaurants.
I choose roast turkey, with bread and green bean covered in delicious white sauce. And served with mashed potatoes.
My son choose Heat loaf of the gods, Beef cooked in a brown sauce served with mashed potatoes and potato balls filled with broccoli.

I love this place! They offer a variety of delicious options for all eaters (vegan, gluten-free, etc.) This morning I had the veggie hash with eggs and a blueberry cake. My husband had the blue plate omelet with potatoes. Yum! We stop here every time we’re in town.

EDIT: I need to update my review because the praise is front loaded too much. I am dissatisfied with the soup. Please bring back the previous recipe for Naan’s Chicken Noodle Soup. I did not want a chicken noodle hot dish .
Also if you can make a vegan version of Naan’s, all the better. But please make it like the old version, truly halfway between a soup and a stew, with lots of good broth and lots of good noodles and veggies and protein.
I get that good food isn’t cheap, so if you have to raise the price that’s fine, but don’t cut it out entirely!
ORIGINAL: I do love Monty’s blue plate diner, and especially do like their vegetarian options when I am able to stay vegetarian. Unfortunately today I am dead sick and I needed some Naan’s chicken noodle soup.
Unfortunately what I got was a chicken noodle hot dish. Which isn’t bad, but it’s not what I needed. I sorely needed a whole lot of chicken broth in this.
Be aware they did refund me my order, which was amazing of them. I do not fault the staff on this, they’ve gone above and beyond, and the manager explained that this recipe change was not his decision and was updated on the menu (I called in my order)
Corporate, please go back to the old recipe, I know sometimes you need to change things up for business purposes, but this is going to diminish my enthusiasm a lot. I’m hoping I can pour hot water on this and make it any better.

As a vegan, I value this place. Diner food has always been one of my favorites and if you’re vegan you know how hard it can be to find ANYTHING to eat at a breakfast place.
But Monty’s Blue Plate Diner has several delicious options (even shakes!). When there is a wait it’s clearly communicated and there are indoor and outdoor areas to wait. You are sat in a charming colorful diner and treated to delicious food.
I love this place, and if you are ever in Madison it’s a must go.

Solid dinner at a diner. I eat gluten free and 2 in my family are vegetarian. We were able to find options. BUT you have to request a book that has food allergies listed in it. The book was not up to date. It was cumbersome, I much prefer the menu being marked. It makes me feel less “called out” because of my dietary needs. In a group it is annoying to be the one who has to ask questions and explain to the server (who doesn’t seem to really understand how important it is — never mind care) constantly about gluten. That being said it’s a true dinner experience that is fun to have. Clean bathrooms!

Classic American diner experience with traditional, vegetarian, and vegan options. Kids menu on request. Breakfast all day. Friday fish fry. Food is always good and fresh. Service is fast, but the wait for a table can be long. Counter service is no wait as available. Seating required for booths so don’t hoover around people finishing their meal. Booths hold 4 comfortably, 5-6 snuggly. Limited tables. I wouldn’t recommend for larger groups as the wait would be long and there is limited space. They might not be able to accommodate. I like their Fiesta Ware display up on the walls. A good place for a casual meal.

Cute diner serving the best vegetarian and vegan comfort food! They have all your “classic” offerings as well for the meat eaters. Our only problem was having too many options to choose from. ❤️ Our server Jo was very friendly and helpful.
Vegan milkshakes and the “Sheldon” (a tofu Rueben) are a must, and don’t skip dessert. Cannot wait to go back!!!

I am grateful for the vegan options at Monty’s Blue Plate Diner and make it a point to eat there when I’m in Madison. The food is terrific and I give it 5 stars for atmosphere because it’s a legit diner.

Interesting Menu, I chose the Ruben Sandwich.
I would not get it again. It was sloppy to eat, and had too much tofu IMO
Place was clean, and crowded.
If I am ever back in the area, I will try something else on the menu
