Fantastic burger joint - Edit
This tiny burger place has just a few menu items but they are phenomenal. Service was really fast despite how busy it was. Everything was vegan. They had 5 different dips including multiple flavors of aioli. Loved the 1950s diner vibe too.

Cons: Kind of pricy, Small space, so it might be hard to find seating

Impossible isn’t vegan - Edit
I had no idea they were selling the impossible. The impossible tests on animals. Everything is overpriced. Wasn’t a fan of the burger but the milkshakes are delicious

Warning. Use of Animal Tested Ingredient. Not vegan. - Edit
UPDATE! Monte’s exclusively serves Impossible Foods burgers. While these are plant based, they are NOT vegan. The company tested their product on animals to bring it to market faster. Monty’s has their heart in the right place, but they need to drop Impossible Foods like a bad habit and switch to a company that cares about animals.

Cons: Expensive, Parking can be a challenge, Burger’s special ingredient tested on animals

You grew old and tired of it - Edit
My guess is it’s so fatty that makes it easily seen as “delicious” (???). The burger was tasty and juicy, but after a few bites, you grew old and tired of it. I ended up took big chunks of the patty out. But I’m a weird eater so don’t trust this review.
Read morePros: tasty & juicy, 100% vegan, ethical?
Cons: long waiting line, too oily/fatty, only good for takeout

Best vegan burger - Edit
Got the single with tots and strawberry shake. The burger was the best vegan burger I've ever had. Even my non-vegan partner agreed. Got the tots with onion aioli sauce. The sauce was better than I expected. The strawberry shake blew it out of the park. It was absolutely delicious and had chunks of fresh strawberry in it. My daughter had the chocolate shake but it wasn't as good as the strawberry. Only downside was it's very expensive!

Vegan Fast Food - Edit
I ordered a single burger, tater tots with house dipping sauce, and a chocolate vegan milk shake at this cute little 12 seater fast food joint. Delicious. I did not think the 2.0 was noticeably different than the first Impossible Burger.

Very good - Edit
This is the best rendition of the impossible burger Ive tried. The location is pretty cute and tiny. The special sauce is a bit too sweet for me and the bun was a tad too thick. The loaded fries were alright. Its just fries 1000 sauce fyh cheese onions. Next time I’d just get tots or fries. Its not cheap, but i get it, the ingredients are more expensive. I’d come back the next time im in LA. Worth a trip!

Be Patient - Edit
The burger was just soo thick from bread and cheese it was hard to taste anything else. I'm not a fan of the impossible burger and I just had a few bites of my friend's, but I had a loaded grilled cheese and loaded tots which were super good. I'd return just for those. The wait to order was around 25 mins which really sucked, but after that, our ticket time was about 5 mins which was nice. Unfortunately, it's super tiny inside and it's just one massive [censored] funnel. You can hardly move in there. You also leave smelling like cooking oil which I hate.
Read morePros: All Plant Based
Cons: Expensive. Long order line time. Parking.

Love the burger - Edit
The food was delicious, but it was so busy that we stood in line for 20 minutes before we could order. There weren't any available seats so we got ours to go.

Ok, so it goes without saying that the burgers here are great, they are simply FANTASTIC. the impossible burgers I've had before do not hold a candle to these juicy, tasty morsels.

Vegan version of in n' out - Edit
Defnitely has a tasty burger and good tots! I had the coffee shake and that was good too. The place itself is pretty small, and I hadnt realized it replaced that old hot dog venue. It's pretty much the exact same set up, different menu so be aware that you arent always guaranteed space to sit and eat there. Its hard to even order there when it gets busy. My only other complaint is that it's really pricey for a 2 option burger joint. Taste is on point though. :)

Cons: Expensive, very limited moving/ eating space

Service needs to get better. - Edit
Yes, the food is good, but the line in this place is ridiculous and the reason for it is that it takes them about 10-15 minutes to take an order. I don’t understand how that can be so slow when there’s literally two options in the menu. There has to be a way to make this faster, probably if the cashier wasn’t the same person who prepares the drinks. Get ready to stand in line for at least 20 minutes.
Read moreCons: Service is SLOW. , Music is too loud and will give you a headache.

Look into the secret menu - Edit
Impossible burgers are my favorite so Monty’s is of course a win. This place is pricey, but if they pay their employees well, then I’m okay paying more for delicious food. Make sure to check out the secret menu before ordering lest you get plain fries instead of the loaded fries.
Read morePros: Secret menu cookies n cream shake, Fulfills my junk food needs, Responsibly-sourced foods
Cons: Expensive (but for quality food & employee wages)

Hands down best burger ever!! - Edit
Our family was blown away by how incredible the burgers were. They use Impossible Burger patty and the whole thing was juicy, flavorful, and had everything just right. Best burger we have ever had!
Read moreTheir milkshakes are also bomb especially the strawberry (tasted like strawberry short cake). They are so creamy, delicious and not too sweet.
Monty’s is on the top list of our favorite in LA besides Crossroads, Donut Friend
Pros: Best tasting food and dessert!, All vegan
Cons: Parking is very limited on the street, Small place, waiting line when busy
