The Lucky Monk
When you name your restaurant after Trappist monks who've spent centuries perfecting their craft, you're serious about your beer. That's why we hired a master to craft our house brews and why our beer list spans the globe. With everything from refreshing pilsners that match the lightness of our thin-crust pizza to dark, rich ales that stand up to our decadent burgers, you're certain to find a new favorite at The Lucky Monk. We're sure that our Prime beef burgers — served with hand-cut fries — will be the juiciest you've ever had. Our other house specialty is pizza. It is crisp and generously topped with fresh ingredients. And we round out our menu with vibrant, flavorful salads; a handful of classic, satisfying American entrées; and some sweet surprises.

Great food, excellent service at a great price
The wait staff was friendly and attentive. They have done a great job of creating a safe environment during this time of pandemic. Also, they have a several seating options for their guests.
Been there several times recently. Love that they are open for indoor dining through all this and just a great place.
We had a good time on the heated patio. Only thing was that it was definitely colder than the 60 degrees I was told they get it up to in there....we saw our breath! It was probably in the 40s in there. Would probably be better if they had 2 rows of ceiling heaters - one row above the one set of tables and the other row of heaters above the other set of tables instead of one row right in the middle of the rows of tables. We still enjoyed ourselves though!
Very disappointed. Did a reservation online with my name phone number and email. I asked to be put in an igloo. When I got there they told me I didn’t make the reservation at the right place that instead of the monk I had to go to the igloos at the monk website??? So I said to the girl do you have my information there? And she said yes. I asked why they didn’t call me she just looked at me like a deer with headlights in her eyes! So then she brings somebody else over and he’s quoting prices for the igloo that aren’t even on the website he had no idea what the cost was???
Will not be going back there for $18 hamburgers
After ordering a burger for $13 I got charge $16. They charge me an extra three dollars for coleslaw. When I told them there was nothing on the menu that said coleslaw was three dollars he said anything that wasn’t french fries was an additional three dollars. I said great show me where it says that again he looked at me like a deer with headlights in his eyes. Very inexperienced staff not accommodating food was just average. $18 hamburgers we’re just too much money with coleslaw
Very safe, clean and great food.
They do a really good job social distancing and take your tempature at the door..food was amazing service on par
Our server was so attentive. She gave us good recommendations and was very friendly. It made our night out very enjoyable.
Had to wait roughly 20 minutes after my reservation for the staff to clean the table/area. It was a bit long for a sanitizing session but it is appreciated. The food was amazing! Drinks are mixed well. Cozy/comfortable ambiance. Was my first visit to this place and I'd definitely go back to try more menu items.
It was just so blah. Food was soggy and bland. I was bored and ate down the street afterwards!
Great times at the ‘Monk, for New Year’s Eve. They had a table for us with very short notice and the food, drink, atmosphere and service were just outstanding. Always a great choice.
Food was good service even better
Our food was not as good as it usually is. Fish and Chips was really bad but pretzel was awesome.
Definitely will go back
We opted to sit in the bar on one of the high top tables. Great decision. The bartender was also our server. Nicest man you will ever meet. Service was wonderful and we never felt overwhelmed by being checked on. He came at just the right time and felt bad he wasn’t checking on us a lot. We told him no worries we were doing great and appreciated his time. Food was fabulous. Atmosphere wasn’t loud and we could hear each other talk. Wonderful place to go for dinner.
Wonderful service and good food
Brought my sister here for the first time and she LOVED it! She’s a very picky eater so I was happy that she liked it so much! The wings and burgers are amazing!! Quite honestly, everything that I’ve tried here is always really good!
Amazing burgers. Been coming here since 2009 when they first opened. Consistent quality.
The Lucky Monk was a welcome surprise. It was our first time eating there and with the new restrictions, we were looking for a place that had a heated patio. The patio was a little dark, but we made do. The food was outstanding. I thought $13 was a bit much for the 2 shrimp tacos, but the elotes that came with it was outstanding. The burgers were enormous and my 3 kids loved their pizza. Their dinner also came with milk, a chocolate chip cookie and dipping sauce. They were ecstatic. All in all, I would definitely go there again.
So good!! I've never had fried pickles, so very yummy!!! Brussel spouts, RIGHT ON!! And that burger, WOW! Best I've had in a very, very long time. Will definitely come back SOON!
Great food and atmosphere. Service was good too. I love the soft pretzel
Yesterday was mild weather for December so we were able to enjoy lunch on the patio. The new heat lamps are great!
Delicious food and wonderful service! Very clean and safe eating!
Our temperature was taken as we walked in. Rachel was our waitress and she was fantastic. Food was great. We ordered a giant pretzel for an appetizer which was just delicious. I felt very safe since Rachel was the only one we had any interaction with and she wore her mask the whole time.
First time here, our waiter was phenomenal! We chose to be seated inside and everything was spaced out due to covid and our booth had plexiglass behind us which was pretty nice. I ordered Swiss mushroom burger and I got to try their mac and cheese🤤 I definitely see myself coming back here, prices are reasonable.
Great meal and cocktails toi
Our first time eating at Lucky Monk so was expecting typically bar/restaurant experience. Was pleasantly surprised evening during Covid restrictions being in place. Social distancing was followed for all inside dining. I think menu was shortened which i sense most often the case nowadays. We both got different burgers which were prepared perfectly and quiet good. Some really good upgrade options including truffle fries, side salads, fried pickles. All the other dishes passing by being delivered to other tables also looked tasty. For a casual but upscale dinner with good food, full bar and what I was told are quality microbrewery beers (not a beer drinker myself), would hesitate to come back.
We always enjoy coming here, and they have responded well to the virus restrictions.
Great food and friendly service with safe dining environment
Great meal and service as usual ! Tried the shrimp tacos tonight - they were delicious!
Always an enjoyable experience. Service and food spot on.
A great lunch on the patio of The Lucky Monk. Delicious food with very kind and courteous service! Thank you.
Will not be able to enjoy a dinner out until the governments stop with their ridiculous covid rules. It's very easy, if your scared or vulnerable stay home.
Service was really good. Beautiful night to be on the patio.
Appreciate Lucky Monk dollars.
Like the outdoor patio.
Always great. The outdoor heaters really help.
Our server Lindsey was terrific.
We love dining at The Lucky Monk on their beautiful heated patio which overlooks the pond. Food, beer sampler and service were excellent!
We ate on the patio on a beautiful November Saturday! It was a little breezy which made the shades blow and they were quite noisy. Very minor compared with what’s going on in the world right now! The food was excellent as was the service!
One small complaint which I’ve noticed in many restaurants is they take great care to wipe down the tables but completely neglect the chairs!
Beautiful day for food and drinks out on the patio
Very nice heated patio for outdoor dining
