“As many of you may know I am an Extreamly Picky Eater. (because I love food and spent over 35 years in the food industry. While in Monticello pet sitting we I remembered seeing a sign in the windows of Jave Lava on Main street the week before announcing JonnyO's Pizzeria was now sharing their location after 4pm offering pizza along with varied weekly specials. Gyros was on for Thursday nite special and having planted that seed in my brain I thought I give them a go. We found their website and proceeded to order 2 Gyros and fries online for pickup. Now, I must say and I dont say this lightly. Jonny O's Pizzeria Gyro's are the best Gyros I've found in all of Green County Wisconsin. I live in this area since 2000. I was happily surprised and delighted.The meat was excellent, not that chopped and perfectly formed slice that so many places use. No, it was like the kind you'd get in Madison at Parthenon's on State street 20 years ago. Tasted like the meat was roasted on a slab like in Madison. The tomatoes were a perfect size, not to big, not to small, not mushie or slimy, the onions, even tho they were purple and not the traditional white onion as I am accustomed to, they were the correct size, fresh and crunchy. The sauce was on the side and it was thick and creamy, (just as a great Gyros sauce should be)My hats off to you on the excellent gyro sauce, wow! What a fantastic surprise. Great Gyros in Monticello. AWESOME FOR ALL OF US!So, I had to tell all of you to give em try, if the pizza is even close to the quality of their Gyro, Monticello just hit the jackpot on the takeout scene.I will return, looking forward to your pizza and many more tasty Gyros from Jonny O's Pizzeria located inside the Java Lave Cafe on Main Street in downtown Monticello, WI. Visit their website and order today. They also have a Belleville location too. Thanks for the tasty yummy hit the spot, Gyro. It's been a long time comming. Thank you, thank you thank you!! PollyVegetarian options: They did offer a cauliflower crust for Keto & Gluten Free folk. Along with veggie options. SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE.”
“i was wondering if boars nest was still up and boaring. last visit was 1982 when i was with the Monroe tug a-war. we did some workouts at the M-cello park then after to Boar's nest for pitchers of Blatz.”
“My Dad used to take me here when I was little! I went back with my husband and we agreed it was the best breakfast place we’d tried together so far! Delicious food, delicious pie, very cute small town feel.”
“I was there on opening night. Sometime after that I had the best ribs I've ever had. Tonight I had them again and they were even better somehow. The slaw is still different than anything I've had. Sides like potato pancakes (latkes) and cowboy beans. A bar with rare bourbons. I'm almost 67 and have been to a lot of places. It's hard to imagine this place is in a town with a third of the people on my last cruise ship. I want to do anything I can to make sure I can go here whenever I can spend such wonderful calories.Parking: Not a concern.Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp”
“back home we call these joint honky tonks. in PA they call them taverns and around here they are just bars.... whatever you call it is just right for fun and cheep drinks”
“Most popular place in town. Only open weekends and a few other special days. Just beer and hard ciders and root beer. Free popcorn. The pulled pork is made in house. The owners are wonderful people whose only hire people who want to help people have fun. Everyone likes the U-Pour-It system. It's fun to play by the ounce. Very dog friendly. Great logo merch at great prices.Vegetarian options: Curds, pretzels, Mac and cheese. Maybe others.”
“Excellent tour, very professional and friendly tour guides.Loved the Tasting Room and discussions on the history and tasting new beer offerings.Note: the tour starts one mile north of the main brewery location. There are no signs on Hwy 69 or Hwy W to find it.”
“Great food great service! I had the ribeye and it was well seasoned and very tasty! The place was hopping on a Saturday night! I enjoyed the brief menu, always feel they focus on what they are good at. Friend had prime rib and loved it and enjoyed the molten lava cake for dessert!”
“First, let me start by saying this place is absolutely adorable.Great food (I recommend the Meredith Panini, so delish), great staff & GREAT coffee.Dietary restrictions: LOVE that dairy free options are available!”
“This continues to be one of the most popular restaurants in Monroe because of the consistently good quality & reasonable prices. Staff is well trained & efficient. If you want a weekend, it's best to get a reservation earlier in the day.Parking: P & L is located downtown, so there is usually plenty of parking.”
“Romantic atmosphere. Outstanding menu selection. Really delicious Salmon, Wiener Schnitzel, Lobster Bisque and Lemon Ginger Cheesecake. Very friendly, professional service. Great location. We'll be back!”
“Food is amazing. Probably the best bar burger and fries we have ever had. Fresh garden tomatoes etc....definitely recommend. We actually tipped the cook and the bartender it was so good!”
“We felt like important guests even though the restaurant was quite full. It was great to watch the staff work together to solve problems with ZERO attitude or negativity. There has been nothing in several visits that we have not liked the taste of, and with the rewards program we like bringing friends and out of town visitors to Vince’s above anywhere else.Dietary restrictions: Great gluten free options as well!”
“We love Bartels! Great family owned tap on Monroe’s historic square. Jim and Rhonda are always so friendly and kind. Love the old-school tavern vibe. Great place to unwind!”
“Fun small town bar! The bartenders and owner are wonderful always make you feel welcome and very friendly. The drinks and food are delicious and great prices. Stop by and say hi to Petey”

“My husband and I had our wedding at Fest Haus and it was amazing! Kennedy was incredible communicating with me, helping set up, making sure we had everything we needed, and helping clean up. The bartenders that weekend were incredible as well! We highly recommend Fest Haus for your wedding, or any gathering!”
“Shane was fabulous, talked me into something new! Look forward to seeing him againDietary restrictions: We have a dairy allergy and Accommodated our pizza to those needs”
“Younger bartender was absolutely amazing. Hostess was super nice. Found out the owner, John, was a childhood friend and he was busy working right alongside everyone else.Cheese fondue is amazing”
“The pizza and pulled pork nachos were delicious once we got everything. The bartender was not great. If I came back and saw her there they next time I would leave. She was rude and not friendly at all. She accidentally dropped our pizza, which took 45 minutes to get, and then she brought us another person's pizza the next time third time we got our pizza, and it was excellent.”
“Lovely swiss bakery. You can tell and taste the authenticity in all of their baked goods. The molasses cookies are delicious! I definitely recommend New Glarus Bakery.”
“This restaurant has amazing food that you can tell is homemade with fresh ingredients. The food quality is amazing and the people who make and serve it are always very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend coming in, seating yourself, and enjoying a wonderful breakfast/lunch/dinner here anytime you can.”
“An old style bar with good basic food. The staff is friendly and service is good. It is worth going just to see the Original Back all wood bar built in 1912 and Murals painted in 1913.”
“Great food, The Works Burger was hands down THE best burger I've ever eaten. The cheese curds & big pretzel were absolutely delicious as well.Staff was very nice, service was quick. I highly recommend!!”
“Last minute decision to go find fish fry and that is never easy on a Friday much less a holiday Friday.Drove down to Belleville and was able to find seats at the bar. Friendly bartender Van took car of us with great service. He's a big St. Louis Cardinals baseball fan so we connected over our mutual Cardinals fandom. Van knew all the regulars by name, so my goal is to someday achieve that status. Fish was perfectly cooked as was my shrimp. Breading is a bit thick, not the panko and club soda light batter, but tasty. Plate came with fries, buttered bread and coleslaw. In fact the Friday menu only says the kind of fish or chicken you want. The sides are as described. All of that food for $9.50/ person was a great deal. Bottled beer, mixed drinks and cans of soda. All in all a good Sconnie bar on a Friday night.”
“If you just want food that's a great price with a home-cooked taste, then this is the place for you. They have friendly staff and something everyone will want to eat.”
“Beautiful renovation to an historic building in downtown Monticello now known as the Pink Heifer.Delicious smoked meats are a real treat from an experienced chef who really knows his food.The antique bar is one of a kind!”
