Food came fast and it was amazing! We were greeted by the chef when we walked in and our waitress was incredible. The signs on the walls were also a good laugh. Would go again whenever I'm in Blaine

Monte's Just A Bite, is a little slice of pure heaven in the simplest form of expression in homemade dining ....! Absolutely no tricks no gimmicks just old fashion traditional food cooked and prepare to mouth watering perfection. For the first time in 5ys of traveling to Birch Bay we decided to try this place and we found out what we been missing in 5ys.....! Each and very time we even thought of trying this place, the lines and the wait has been incredible long. This time we where able to get in without any problems and it was definitely worth the wait....! This place is straight old school shoulder to shoulder dining if it's crowded, wooden chairs and benches you wouldn't know this from the outside. But don't let the smallest of this place fool you, the portion of the food is extremely large and over the top tasty. The pancakes 🥞 were a mixture of unspeakable pure sweetness and the waffles 🧇 completely out of this world dipped in goodness.. The sides were simply made to order season to perfection, there was enough food for four... Shawn was totally awesome, making our dining experience extra special from start to finish. He seemingly was the wearer of many hats as well (waiter cook, and customer service representative) all of those positions were done friendly and professionally. Thank you Shawn for taking care of us, you sir are definitely a great representative for this little slice of pure heaven.......🙏🏿

The food tasted good and had a good-sized portion. These rice ad atmosphere were stellar. Will definitely eat at Monte's again.

Monte's has excellent Corned Beef Hash and Eggs Benedict. There is a lot of history on the walls. I love the atmosphere. The owner is a gem. Go get some breakfast! This is the place.

This is one of those places you have to experience to fully appreciate. Cozy atmosphere, very kind staff. It was quite enjoyable. We sat at the bar, right next to the chef. He was very outgoing and it was entertaining watching him work and deliver orders while he cooked.
A quaint little diner just minutes from U.S., Canadian ports of Entry. The staff and owner were great and eager to to provide a great dining experience. It might be a small diner but the atmosphere is large here. If in the area do yourselves a favor and try this diner out, you won't be disappointed.

They couldn't get my breakfast order right the way I asked. The food was drenched in grease. I honestly couldn't even eat it it was really gross. The cooks looked dirty, like a dirty cigarette smoking drunk cooking your food. This was last year. I know my experience was so bad that I would never consider going back even if I was starving. Every time I pass by the restaurant, I cringe. All I can say is gross, gross, gross, and more gross. Sorry for a bad review, but if I'm never willing to eat at your restaurant again, it was pretty bad. I'm an avid traveler and diner. I know food. Maybe if you clean it up a bit. The restaurant was a bit grimey, too. It needs a deep clean. I see the restaurant has a lot of good reviews. Either the owner has lots of friends or these people don't know what decent food is. Because it doesn't make sense. I would never give a bad review for no reason. Maybe the day I went, the cook had a hangover, or these people are just use to eating greasy slop.

Wow if I can tell you what an amazing experience it was to see one man cooking all of the restaurants food. This place was so well, and tasty. The menu was short, and straight forward. The server was so kind. He even knew Spanish. Love that! The food was so good I ordered two plates of the same thing ( pancakes and veggie omlet).

Sean was an excellent server: courteous, efficient, charming. Breakfast was so good yesterday that we are going back today.

My husband and I came to Monte's because of the great reviews, and returned twice because of the excellent coffee, breakfast and people there (not only the cooks and server, but the friendly customers as well)! We had omelets, over medium eggs, sausage, bacon, waffle, biscuit, homestyle potatoes, French toast, etc., and absolutely everything was delicious. We had a view from this historic building below to train tracks and the marina and north toward the Peace Arch at the Canadian border. The vibe of the place was perfect: friendly, good music, entertaining decor, even some light-hearted banter, just like you'd get with good friends and family. The third visit we had was especially fun: since the restaurant is small, the server asked if one of the customers could share our table. Yes! We sat with one of the regulars (hi, John, here's your 2 cents!), and learned about his family and history in the area as well. Just a really good time. We highly recommend going to Monte's!
