nut allergy friendly! - Edit
absolutely delicious! we ordered two double cheeseburgers, 1 single, a kale Caesar salad, a vanilla shake, and loaded tater tots for $76. the tater tots tasted just like in n out animal fries but BETTER. this was also one of the best vegan cheeses i’ve had and tasted just like a normal cheeseburger. the best part is that the cheese and ice cream is nut free so my boyfriend w a nut allergy could have it!

The perfect burger. - Edit
Monty's only serve one kind of burger, but it's pretty damned close to perfect. Juicy Impossible patties on a potato bun with vegan cheese, caramelized onions and special sauce. Be sure to try the dogpile tots, house made sodas, and ask for the special off menu shakes 😉 (they change all the time!!)

Pros: Customizable burgers, Secret drinks menu, Always delicious
Cons: Pretty small seating area inside - can get busy!!

The burger was great, sauces were awesome! Not a huge fan of the bun or the prices. I liked vow burger in West Hollywood more! I went to the one in KoreaTown and the seating just wasn’t great, also really loud and busy so the vibe isn’t the chilliest

Complicated - Edit
First of all, I want to say how amazing Monty’s tastes, and I want to say how friendly everyone who works there is. This was my Boyfriend’s favourite vegan eatery. However... since the discovery that “Impossible” does indeed test their product on animals, we can no longer stand behind the brand. Being vegan isn’t dietary, it’s about the treatment of all animals. I’m sad to say I won’t be back until this has been rectified. I am, however, happy that non-vegans can finally have somewhere where they can get a burger that isn’t made from meat that still tastes great. Hopefully it will get more people over to our side. Thanks for the memories Monty’s. I hope to see you again some day.
Read morePros: Tastes great, Friendly staff , A great place to take your non-vegan nay sayers
Cons: Not exactly vegan (impossible tests on animals), It is pretty expensive, but worth the money

BEST Vegan Burger - Edit
This was hands down the best fast food I’ve ever had. Impossible Burger was perfection, my tots were perfectly crispy on the outside and the soft serve ice cream was out of this world. Not to mention my wife had a milkshake which was on par with the soft serve.

Nice Staff, High Price - Edit
The folks working there were really friendly and helpful, even seemed happy to be there. The atmosphere was retro diner like and a bar to sit at to enjoy your meal. I had the cheezeburger, which was 11$ and 12$ with tax. So, quite pricy for just a burger. I'm happy that this option is available so people can try non-meat foods, but it is probably out of reach for people with limited incomes. Maybe I've just been out of the country for too long, but this seemed like an absurd price.

Great price and taste - Edit
They have one type of burguer, but it’s great! Really tasty. We had one burger each and shared one portion of tater tots and then couldn’t even get some dessert! The price is good for the amount and quality of food you get. Also the store is really cute!

Delicious Vegan burger! - Edit
The double cheeseburger was absolutely amazing. Just like an in n out burger but vegan. However, the wait time on a Saturday afternoon was insane. Line was through the door. Also, it is very expensive (reason I gave 4 stars).

Outstanding Diner Style Experience - Edit
We visited the K-Town location of Monty’s last night and it was truly superb.
Read moreThis place keeps it simple with a nostalgic 50’s style diner vibe and menu. Monty’s offers single and double burger options, as well as fries and decadent milkshakes. I had the double burger and my wife had the single burger. We were really impressed with the flavor and freshness of the sandwich, the food was served piping hot! Not only were the patties used delicious but the Follow Your Heart American cheddar that was in the sandwich melted and oozed out of this burger. We have had a lot of vegan burgers and have had some great experiences, but this version by Monty’s has to rate as one of the best that we have tasted. The fries were also delicious, crisp and hot. Everything made to order. If you feel like pushing it over the edge, the milkshakes are very enjoyable.
Highly recommend Monty’s and their very good food!
Pros: Best vegan burger around, Delicious fries and house sauces, Quick and made to order
Cons: None!

The Vegan “In-N-Out” - Edit
Totally agree that this is “In-N-Out” for vegans in terms of quality and demand. I was blown away by how tasty my burger was. It was surreal how much I felt like I was eating actual meat—I actually felt guilty! Every aspect of my meal was exceptionally tasty, even my caramel salted shake and the cola that they make themselves. I’m excited to go back.
Read morePros: Exceptional taste
Cons: Small restaurant, Long lines (worth wait), Price

Delicious - Edit
This was my first impossible burger experience and I was quite impressed. The burger itself was amazing, and the fries were pretty [censored] good too (I ordered them with cheese). The staff was very friendly as well.

Was so excited to come here, worth it! - Edit
I was visiting LA for a convention, but I had to make some vegan food trips, and Monty’s Good Burger was on my list. It’s only been open for about a year, but since I’ve been vegan for about a year now from being vegetarian for years, this place felt iconic to me.
Read moreThey serve Cali-style burgers but vegan, basically similar to In-N-Out. They use Impossible burgers and Follow Your Heart cheese. They are topped with lettuce, tomato, house pickles, caramelized onions, and they house sauce on a potato bun. It’s everything you would expect in a fast food burger, but vegan.
The staff is very friendly and cares about their customers and the food comes out fast and you can see them prepare everything as well. Since the place is small, people line up by the entrance way. There is also seating outside which are the blue and red benches, but they have seating inside away or at the kitchen area.
They also have their own brand of organic sodas and they even have milkshakes.
I highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a classic burger joint but vegan!
Pros: Friendly staff, Everything is prepared fast and fresh
Cons: Small space

Kinda worth the hype - Edit
Super fast service even though it was Saturday and busy. The burger was pretty good, the cheese and house sauce made it awesome!! Next time I’d be more inclined to try their secret menu, I think the bun was too big for the burger masking the taste of the rest of it
