Stephanie PenceJune 27, 2014Great lunch! A little piece of Phoenix history. The food is AMAZING! The Prime Rib Bites and the Prime Rib Tacos are FANTASTIC! Even the Bread here is yummy! Can't wait to come back!
Matthew SwartzAugust 4, 2013Awesome atmosphere w/some very historic Arizona stuff. Steakhouse, so get steak (filet mignon especially). Rosemary bread is really good too. A little expensive but worth it for quality/experience.
David GreenwoodMarch 29, 2012An amazing slice of a century's worth of Tempe history! Endless rooms vary in theme from Hay bale territorial to Mexican fountian garden. Their rosemary bread, steaks and bloody Marys are to die for!
Carina DominguezJuly 15, 2014On the upside they do know what they're talking about when it comes to Tortilla Soup. GET THE TORTILLA SOUP! They only serve it on Monday and Tuesday.
D'Andra AlexanderMarch 29, 2012Monti's has GOOD bake potatoes for about $3 each & they are DELISH. If you're a poor college student on a budget & do not have a big appetite I recommend it. .05 for draft beer if you check in on here
Denise NugentMarch 20, 2011Great prime rib, perfect horseradish (ask for the real thing) peach cobbler for dessert is outstanding. Call for reservation or you may wait a long time. Worth it though.
Tempe TourismFebruary 14, 2011Monti’s has amazing steaks, but also take the time to wander through the restaurant. They have a cool collection of historical Tempe and Arizona photos and artifacts.
George W. OberdorfMarch 18, 2012One of the best steaks that I've had in Phoenix... make sure to take a walk through the restaurant and learn its history!
Tim DJanuary 16, 2013Don't forget to get your 5¢ beer special! Nice Newcastle or whatever is on tap!
Renee MackJuly 13, 2014Michael, I shared this with all of my followers, including twitter and facebook. I still remember my visit over 20 years ago.
Kyle HilowNovember 11, 2010A historic steak house with moderately priced menu, excellent food and prime steak that is mouthwatering. Convenient location. Dine in is a must!
Erin VargaMarch 25, 2014Check in and get a 5 cent beer. Granted it's Miller Lite or Coors Light only, but it's 5 cents!
Thomas ClementAugust 28, 2011I always get the small filet mignon. This is about the best in the west. I also love the "weed" bread (rosemary bread).- Sulafa SalimNovember 17, 2013The rosemary bread is to die for, try the filet or prime rib- both are excellent.
A.NAugust 22, 2014The spinach artichoke dip is spicy and tangy.. Don't go for it if you don't wanna start ur meal with tanginess
Tor TNovember 26, 2010Lunch steak sandwich is world class! Must try with wild rice!! My father has been coming here for 35 years and he swears by it! Soooo good!!!- Tempe TourismApril 4, 2013Bring in your spring training ticket and get a burger, fries and beer for only $12 at Tempe's Front Porch.
Christian SandovalNovember 18, 2013The steak is wonderful. They have a $40 dinner and movie deal every now and then.
Randy CourtneyDecember 14, 2013Our bartender Sean is great and the .05 beer foursquare special is great!!
Super great cold beer and loads of tasty, mouth watering prime rib! Delicious!
- Shane VanLaninghamNovember 17, 2014Having dinner here for the last time. Monti 's is closing tomorrow forever going out of business :-(
Love this place! Great food, great people, great service! Like a 2nd home.
- THE Best Burger in town -- and the steaks are mighty tasty too!
- Carina DominguezJuly 15, 2014Don't ever order a Michelada from this place. They act like they know what they're talking about but they don't.

"One of my favorite places to eat. I love the buns and peanuts btw both are free. I recommend New York and bone rib eye. For the sides the baked potato and the salads are really good."
