I reached out to the Monk's Kettle for a large party happening in just a few days. They were so responsive and accommodating! Christian was great to work with, got us in, served over 40 people promptly, and everyone loved it!! I am so glad I found this place and look forward to going back!

In an effort to go through the list of "Top 10 Burgers in Marin" per the Marin Burger Club, we set out to find Monk's Kettle in Terra Linda. Location is a little out of the way, in a streetside mall, certainly not a gem location. Actual eatery is fine, though a little noisy, but clean, and accomodating. It was listed mid pack, so we looked forward to eating, certainly not dining. Burger: 7.75/10. Good quality meat and incrediants, however, their "secret sauce"...
