Enjoyed this place a lot!! Awesome beer list, and the cheese steaks are soooo good!! I recommend the Rocky!!
The food was amazing and the beer selection was great. Would prefer to have more on tap to choose from. However was very pleased with the selection. The server was very knowledgeable and personable. The menu was extensive. Lots of choices. The prices are very reasonable.
We looooooooooove Monti’s! The food, the service, the people. You can’t go wrong. I always get the authentic and my husband loves the south side Johnny. The fries are hot and crispy. Go. Just go!
We were at this incredible find last weekend. Best GF philly, Italian and beer in town. Impeccable service. Perfect destination to watch a little football too. Loved it. My daughter and I have celiac disease and never felt better. Thanks! We will be back when we are back in town.
I got the southside Johnny, which was delicious, but I wish I got the sampler to try other ones. I had a bite of my buddy's The Rocky, which had a great kick to it! My mouth's watering as I imagine visiting this place again.
My friends and I had such a great time at Monti's last night! Everything we ordered was delicious! Loved that they even had a vegetarian version of a cheesestake. Can't wait to go back. Oh and the owners...those are some good people! You can tell they use quality ingredients and want to serve you the best.
Cheesesteak was great. Great place to catch a bite to eat and a drink before a show at the Riviera . Me and the wife live on the far sw side and saw this place on Chicagos Best so had to try it since we were in Uptown for a concert.
The best of the best. The only real Philly cheesesteak in all of Chicago. Popped it in the oven for a nice crisp.
It’s amazing, they put so much meat on it. I ask for extra Mayo, so that’s why there is so much of it on my sandwich. Love Montis food and the staff is great. The lady for pick up orders there is very kind.
I’m a vegetarian so it’s always hard to find a place that both me and my spouse will equally enjoy, but this place was the bomb. Attentive service and loved the bartender’s suggestions for a beer and the rocky pepper sauce. My meat eating partner had the authentic Philly and said it was one of the best in his life. My (I’m guessing seitan) sandwich was also phenomenal. Definitely looking forward to coming here again.
Great experience. It's one of the best turkey sandwiches and philly cheesesteak that I've had.

So Monti's was recommended, and we were first-time dinners. We got the special lunch, Philly steak and chili. It was reasonably priced. The entire meal was delicious. I especially enjoyed the chili. It had a great homemade taste. It's definitely a nice neighborhood spot. Good food! We'll be back.
Amazing sandwiches. Genuinely friendly staff. Stellar drinks! What’s not to like? Do yourself a favor and try their cheesesteak sandwich you will not be disappointed
Omggg, I’m such a picky eater. I did not pick over my sandwich, I literally ate every single bite. I ordered the rocky I added shrooms and aged cheddar. As I get older and my taste buds change I crave quality. This was a quality sandwich, not greasy, not falling apart, flavorful and delicious. I was greeted once I entered and the staff was very friendly. I’ll definitely be back soon. As my first time I’ll admit this was the best Philly in Chicago hands down and I’ve been eating phillys around the city all my life.
I haven’t been here in awhile, but let me tell you they didn’t skip a beat. Very clean establishment. Definitely team oriented. Our server I believe was the owner was on point. He made sure that we had everything we needed and the food was great. I highly recommend the traditional Philly Cheesesteak. Reasonably priced and an all around good experience. Only complaint I have is that we ordered a bowl of chili and there was no fixins on it. No cheese, onion, nothing to dress it up. But everything else made up for it. Very great time and good here.
A hidden gem for sure! Are you in the mood for a great Philly Cheesesteak? If yes, and you also like a kick of spice, try The Rocky Cheesesteak; it's a favorite here with fries or salad. Also, on one wall, a shelf of more sauces/spices is there for you to pick from, if you feel the need to experiment with your taste buds. The staff, on whatever day you decide to visit, is always super friendly and you won't have to worry about unsanitary restrooms at this place. Big thumbs up
The steak sandwiches was excellent(usually) but today idk who was in the kitchen playing chef I ordered here 30plus times delivery it's usually always on point super hot and lots of meat and veggies.... tonight however ughhhhh I was hungry too it had way more veggies than meat and it was luke warm it was like one layer of meat and I know it was not cooked to order because it was not hott like it usually be ughh maybe I should have ordered earlier maybe the chef tired idk 😐 delivery was early too the meat tho it usually be just enough to have that extra meat after the sandwich like fries at the bottom of the bag lol seriously 😒 usually I get the 12 inch to have the other half in the morning not this time I had to eat all of it oh well win sum and loose sum.
The host was great! I never like to tip because people be rude or misguiding, but I felt the connection from them so I did today! They come from Philadelphia lol no Italian beef with the dipping sauce fyi! Food was on time I thought I would be waiting forever and they are quick. I ordered a bunch of stuff but I got full quickly! Quality food and they have a reward program. They will def see me for my bday! Add me on Facebook for more updates Nikki Borger…❤️👑🫦
Great place to go. The philly's were outstanding. The service too. Ball games shown on multiple tv's. Thanks guys we will be back. Great to be back in the neighborhood. My son hasn't stopped talking about it.
Just stopped in again and had a great time. The Bears were born again this afternoon. Secret Bagent is our hero.
Such a good cheesesteak! We got it delivered and it held up really well, along with the fries (and added cheese). I thought the cheese fries might have a cheese sauce and it was instead melted cheese, but still great!
The large size sandwich is definitely enough for two people!
I am no expert on a Philly but these were really good!!! Bread was amazing and the meat was really good quality. Fries are good too. Highly recommend!!
Nice clean place to get a delicious Philly cheesesteak. Very welcoming atmosphere too. And you can pair your sandwich with a beer.
First thing I noticed about this place is that I have visited this place before in 2018 or earlier but I cannot recall why! But I order 2 Philly staples: their traditional cheesesteak and roast pork w/ broccoli rabe grinder. Both was very tasty! The cheesesteak was tender, cheesy and the meat crumbled with each bite since it was chopped up. The broccoli rabe gave a nice sharp tart contrast to the roast pork and provolone. However, the pork was a bit too dry for my preference. Still a very good Philly representation.
Amazing, my childhood foodie dream has finally been satisfied 20 years later. Once I found out about Monti's, while Google-searching for must-try philly cheese steak sandwich (AKA The Italian Beef) so delicious, seriously the best out of all the places I have tried over the years. Thank you Chicago! 💜 🌯🥩🧅🧀🫑🤩
I got the sampler and chose the Johnny southside, a spicy one with jalapeños and serrano peppers 🔥😋, and a normal Italian beef. All so delicious, really can taste the juicy ribeye/meat they use, tender meat, good amount of crisp and char here and there, the hoagie bread so fluffy and soft, yet firm enough to hold all the fillings. Will come back again, next time I'm in Chicago.
The Philly steak sandwich was very good. The fries were just as good. Service was stellar, nice vibe. My family enjoyed their meals. Was on the pricey side, but that's usually the case for a real Philly sandwich.
Cozy neighborhood bar feel, not a ton of space gives a more intimate feel. Staff was very nice and the Philly cheesesteak is above average for Philadelphia standard. Ranks tops in Chicagoland in my mind. . What I enjoyed the most was the fries- make sure to ask for the old bay on em free of charge.

I’ve been ordering Monti’s for years now and have some how never written a google review, so here we go…
AMAZING! Hands down! This is probably my favorite sandwich in all of Chicago. Yes, a Chicago girl in love with a sandwich from Philly. But seriously it’s the best. The meat, the onions, the gooey cheese, and those soft Amoroso rolls. When I bite into a Monti’s cheesesteak sometimes I think I’ve died and gone to heaven because it’s just so good.
My boyfriend gets the Rocky with extra rocky peppers and extra onions, and I get the authentic with aged cheddar and white American. I’ve had this sandwich probably over 50 times and they are so consistent which is why we keep coming back for more.
Also, don’t forget to add an order of Rocky Wings. Probably my favorite wings in all of Chicago. Especially when dining in on a Sunday after a night of drinking heavily.
We miss the darkly lit and cozy atmosphere of the restaurant and can’t wait until we can dine in again for cheesesteak bliss.
So anyway, Thank you all at Monti’s for your dedication to making these delicious sandwiches. We love you forever.
