Hello Monty

We dined here yesterday and really enjoyed the experience. Our server Forrest was amazing! He knew the menu items well and and was really good at anticipating our questions. For example, we arrived during brunch hours and he knew that we weren't feeling brunch so he recommended dinner menus. The food was great. I had the burger and it tasted like a premium burger. The vegetables tasted fresh and the fries were tasty and crispy. Overall a great visit, and wouldn't mind eater here again.

Lauren was an amazing server for us this evening, she ensured that we had a great time with great drink and food choices. The Mexican shoot out drink was a tequila drink with fire! The ceased salad had I think little chunks of collard greens and green onions in it too, it was delicious. The salmon was arguably the best around, and the skewer kabobs! Wow. Great place, also it’s cool that during some local road races like the Erlanger marathon this place has a dj that spins records and helps encourage runners!

I came to try this place after doing a long hike and it was the best decision I’ve made. Foster was my waiter and he was very attentive and went above and beyond to provide me de best experience as a solo customer. I juts wanted a burger and french fries and he recommended to add cheese and a fired egg and oh my🙌 Also the beers, he kindly gave me a taste of 2 lager so I could choose the one I liked the best! The whole experience, even as simple as it was, really made my day. I really recommend this place if you come and visit Chattanooga. I’ve stay outside as r was a beautiful sunny day and that added extra points into my experience.

We had an amazing time at Hello Monty! First, we had the crispy brussels and cheese dip with Niedlov’s bread. Let me tell ya, don’t miss out on whatever garlicky goodness is the sauce on the bottom of the crispy brussels. For our meal, we had the salmon skewers and the brats skewers. The onion and potatoes with the brats were perfectly decadent. The sweet chili glaze paired with the wood-fired salmon was *chefs kiss*. For drinks we had a Hefeweizen that was subtly sweet and light and a non-alcoholic Monty Palmer that was refreshing and sweet. Even my kids’ couldn’t get enough - snacking off of our plates and enjoying a gourmet grilled cheese and perfectly fried potato wedges. The best part of our experience was our waitress, Zoe, who was attentive, kind, and fun! Easily one of the best places to eat in Chatt!

This was our first visit, definitely not our last… especially if the sweetest in the world Baylee is there! She took care of us on Saturday, and was the absolute best, from her suggestions to her service! Absolutely on point! Can’t wait to visit again!

Great location and excellent food!! Would highly recommend in Chattanooga and will definitely be back!

Came in while in town, gorgeous place and was aesthetically pleasing. Our experience was interesting. We all ordered our drinks and food and were off to a great start. Our friends ordered an appetizer and it had come to the table and been completely eaten and yet all of our drinks have not come out. We asked about them and they were just coming out. I asked about the two dishes I had my eye on and if the chicken was boneless. I was told the chicken was mostly boneless and there may be a few small bones. They took an entire chicken wing/breast and sliced it. So it was full of bones completely and splinters of bone near the cuts. Not what I wanted at all. Brussels were good but lacked a bit of depth. The drinks were good! Although we weren’t offered any refills until we were offered the check, we were asked if we wanted anything else but too late at that point. There is some room for improvement here for sure, has potential!

As being a brewer myself, I m not often wowed, The beer here is fresh, clean, crisp. Of course it is, being served right from the brite tanks. Each style is so well executed. The food is simple yet executed with great care. Not you typical pub fair however. Our waiter Forrest was amazing, he genuinely cares about the business he works for. Totally personally invested. Charismatic, makes you feel so welcome. If they haven’t done so yet, there needs to be a beer named in his honor , lol. $3.00 draft Tuesdays, WTF. I can not wait to return. Way to go Dynamo/ Monty Cheers

Husband and I were in Chattanooga to attend an event as an early birthday celebration for a couple of nights, and we'd heard good things about Hello Monty. Right off the bat, we enjoyed our experience so much the first night that we came back the next day. We were there early evening on a Thursday and a Friday. We made reservations both times, but we didn't need them. When we arrived each time, we were warmly greeted and seated promptly. The first night, we'd indicated on the reservation that it was my birthday and the hostess let me know that they would like to treat me to a complimentary dessert. During our first visit, the crispy Brussels sprouts appetizer caught my attention and my husband was eyeing the house flatbread with garlic oil and romesco. When the Brussels sprouts came, our jaws dropped. The serving was much bigger than we expected! Definitely enough for more than two people to share. They were crisped to perfection and not bitter at all. Husband really enjoyed the flatbread (so much that he ordered it again the next day). For our entrees, he got the half chicken, which is charcoal roasted and comes with curry sauce, jasmine rice and garlic oil. I ordered the house salad because I was so full from the appetizers. The portions of the entrees were also huge! I couldn't finish the entire salad. Because we were taking the dessert to go, we went with the moon pie cheesecake for dessert. Also, a humongous portion. We weren't sure about it because we don't love moon pies, but we were very pleasantly surprised! It was delicious. I believe it's a seasonal option though. When we came the next day, we knew we wanted something light and simple and probably could've gone elsewhere for something similar, but we just knew that we wouldn't be disappointed here. Again, my husband ordered the house flatbread and we also ordered a side of fire roasted broccoli (minus the sesame) with chili oil and Parmesan dressing. We each ordered a half Caesar salad, mine with salmon and his with chicken. The portion of the half salad with the addition of the appetizer and side were perfect. We had just enough to eat before our event without being stuffed, and everything was cooked so well. We especially loved the broccoli! The decor is simple yet kind of modern, lights dim at night, warm and inviting, perfect for a date or an outing with friends. Service was kind and attentive. Our waiters were friendly and ready to answer questions and share their opinion on what to order. All in all, we highly recommend!

Ate at 4:30pm on a Wednesday. Made reservations but not needed for that time. We got seated right away, put in an order for the crispy Brussels and was served within 5 min! We'd give the Brussels a 5!! Our server Kat was awesome and helpful. Sat us at a booth so we could watch the cooks prepare the food and it was interesting! Ordered: the Caesar salad with yummy house dressing! Broccoli-can't wait to get that again, it was so flavorful!! Mashed/loaded potatoes so creamy and loaded! Crispy fries-very crispy and had a spicy mayo, would be great with the burger which we will try next time. We split the salmon which had such a wonderful sauce/flavor. Paired with blanched cabbage-you'd have to like cabbage to appreciate this pairing (we do). Everything was prepared so well in their ovens from Germany and seasoned perfectly. We observed the cooks cleaning often. We had fresh brewed coffee and the raspberry jam parfait (it was lite) I would give it a 3 rating. But because it was my husbands bday she didn't charge us for it. It appears that they make some of their own brews there. There's a nice bar area with a tv. Plenty of seating indoors and out. Plenty of parking. Clean restrooms.

Great spot for brunch!! Great cocktails and great food! Our server was attentive and quick! Highly recommend!

I want to start by saying that I have been going back-and-forth on this review for a while. At first glance, Hello Monty was everything my wife and I was looking for. I wanted to try something new that had everything we wanted in a restaurant and we came across this little gem just blocks away from where we were staying for the night. we enjoy craft beer, check. The service was fast and spot on, check. And as we did not sit inside, the evening was nice and the outdoor seating was comfortable, check. So right from the beginning everything was hitting the mark. When you're comfortable, the beer tastes good and the service is fast, It's hard not to enjoy where you're at. We ordered a few appetizers, the brussels sprouts, which are arguably some of the best I've ever had in Chattanooga, with the exception of one other place, and the shrimp skewers which in my opinion are extremely overpriced and is the only reason that I was debating on giving this review four stars instead of five. I believe that four pieces of shrimp on a skewer do not warrant $12. They certainly did not taste $12 worth. However, the Caesar salad, the salmon, the half chicken and the incredible beer made up for the one appetizer that I thought was slightly overpriced. I will also say that the waiter did try to warn me on the portion size of the shrimp skewers. Long story short, we will be going back drinking more beer eating more food and enjoying the atmosphere of Hello Monty.

My wife and I dined here on a weekend evening and had a reservation. It was 1/2 full when we arrived and around same when we'd exited around 8:00 or 8:30. Staff and service were great. Ambiance was solid. Some families with young kids around but noise wasn't an issue. We'd already been snacking as we went around town so we were really just focused on quality over quantity in terms of the food we'd ordered. We shared some crispy Brussels Sprouts and the pork chop entree. Both were great, and quantity was certainly not an issue with the sprouts. The pork chop had a really nice char to it but was bone-in and still very moist and delicious. Our first time visiting and will definitely go again.

Forrest M. is always an amazing server! Ambiance, food and drink are all great :) Thank you for having us and the pups!

Great little place kinda tucked away off Main Street. The entire is small and cozy with tables spread out just enough so you're not right in top of each other. We were greeted quickly by our server and a carafe of water was placed on the table immediately. The menu is on the smaller side, but still enough to make most people in your group happy. Like another reviewer mentioned, prices are slightly higher than what I was expecting, but the food is excellent!

We made a reservation for Hello Monty same day for a Friday evening. Good thing we did as they turned walk ins away. The space is cute and comfy and the wood was wonderful. The fried Brussels were perfect and enough reason to come back again. The half chicken and fire roasted broccoli were delightful as well. The carrots stole the show and how often does that happen!? The featured wines were just the cherry on top of a lovely evening. We will be back!

Dynamo Brewery is inside Hello Monty. Tasted all seven of their beers-ok. Hefeweizen was the beer. Cool bar set up and outside patio.

We've heard this is more of a brunch spot, but were extremely pleased with our experience. We enjoyed a few apps (roasted broccoli, fried Brussels, & cheese dip) immensely. Service was 10 stars out of 5.

Visited today on my way back to Atlanta. Food was amazing and the ambiance is just right. It was me and my son (7) and he loved it as well. Our server was very friendly and attentive and the food came out quick. We had the salmon skewers as an app which was delicious and I also had the blackened salmon entree. The skin on my salmon was perfectly crisp just how I like it. My son had a fancy grilled cheese and potato wedges which are the best I've ever tasted. I would definitely come back here again when I'm in Chattanooga.

I will start by saying that the food was excellent. We tried the ribeye and pasta. Both were very fresh and made perfectly. I only listed 4 stars instead of 5 due to a couple of things: they don't have fountain drinks, only cans, so no refills on soda & the steak and other menu items do not come with a side. You can expect to order sides separately or not have them in a more upscale place, but this is a casual spot so something with a $40 steak would have been good. We enjoyed the meal overall it was a nice dinner.

Amazing service, all the staff at this establishment cares and has passion. we were here to enjoy the Dynamo Brewery beers and enjoyed them very much. The ambiance was excellent, great character, music that was engaging but didn't make it hard to have a conversation. 10 out of 10!

We really enjoyed our time here. We came for happy hour just to try it out. The vibe is casual and welcoming. The bartender extremely knowledgeable about the menu. Gave a brief talk about the beers and their history and really seemed to enjoy his job. We tried the happy hour flatbread and my goodness it's delicious. Light and slightly charred accompanied with roasted basil and garlic. I had draft white wine that was smooth and easy to drink. Hubby had a Kolisch beer that he really liked . We will definitely return to try their other items. Menu has plenty to choose from for vegetarians and meat eaters. Restaurant itself is really charming. Lovely atmosphere and a great space. Tables can accommodate large parties. Outside seating with a fire pit and multiple televisions. Street parking available and parking lot across the street. Great addition to the neighborhood.

I guess I will be the oddball and say I was a little let down. I had high expectations for the restaurant as it's newer to town and I had heard positive things. Everything was cooked seemingly well, presentation was good. The flavors didn't quite hit me as well as I expected based on the plating. The tastes were "off" particularly with the flank steak; I think the capers and herb selection may not have been the best fit for the cut of meat. The potatoes, however, were great. The desert was delicious (apple crumble). The service was good and well paced, we were called "sunshine" every time we were interacted with. The salmon was okay but not "WOW". Overall 3.5 out of 5. The price didn't justify itself. Not the best "mood" inside either. I would consider going again for the brunch if a friend asked specifically to try it. Maybe outside seating

Great food and service! The Caesar salad and Brussel sprouts were delicious. I recommend grabbing brunch here!

This was my first time here and I loved it! The beer was delicious, and it matches well with its described style. The food here was absolutely delectable. The sweet tea brined chicken sandwich was juicy and had lots of flavor. The breading was very crispy. The whole sandwich was just nicely balanced and well put together. The potato wedges on the side were so crispy and yummy, I could've eaten an entire bucket full lol. House made ketchup and aioli were both good. This was the best lunch I've had in a while. The service was knowledgeable, attentive, and friendly, plus I got good suggestions that I'm glad I used. Please try this place!

This is a great place to try. I recommend the fried brussel sprouts and cheese dip for brunch. Don't miss out on the French toast it is crazy delish!!

Good experience on a Friday night. Good ambiance both inside and in the patio. We shared a cheese dip which was really good. Bread was perfectly toasted. Entrees - flatbread and salmon. The blackened salmon was a bit too charred but once you peeled off the char the salmon underneath was perfect and matched well with the polenta. The flatbread was good - nothing special. Service was great. Had a decent old fashioned. We'd go back. Would do 4.5 stars if we could.

Hello Monty is definitely a good stop for food and drinks. While the service was a bit slow on our two visits, they were also incredibly busy with the weekend brunch crowd. They offer a variety of seating, which is definitely nice. The only downside was the level of noise; it can be loud!

This was a very subpar experience as both service and food was not great. A very long wait to receive our steaks that arrived prepared wrong. ( rare instead of well done etc) No silverware and no one in sight to try to obtain it. We ordered wine that was never delivered ( because they were out.) But, we were never told. A couple other issues like no refill on the water and food being cold. There are way too many other dining options so we will not be returning. We are new to the area and this was our first restaurant experience in Chattanooga.

Fantastic beer, food and feel. Clay and Rob have done a great job delivering a winner. This is a must try in Chattanooga. Great for any occasion, date night, casual dinner or business meeting/get together.

I don't know what took me so long to check this spot out, but I'm so glad I finally did! This is one of the newer restaurants in Chattanooga, and while I wanted to try their brunch, we ended up going for lunch. Their dinner menu leans towards to the more expensive side, but their lunch menu is just right! I ordered the collard greens melt and it was absolutely delicious! My friend got the Italian sausage flatbread (which I tried) and I was so impressed I'm convinced to order that next time I go. We also ordered a side of the fingerling potatoes with their homemade aioli sauce and they were honestly some of the best I've ever had! My one complaint is that at lunch time, it was only us and one other table so not too much atmosphere, but I'm sure at dinner it gets much more crowded. All in all this is definitely a spot I would check out again!

We luckily stumbled upon this place while just walking around. Everything we had here (minus the coffee) was wonderful. We had the wings for a starter, the ribeye for our entree with okra on the side, and the apple crisp to finish. The okra was SO good! It was grilled with a spicy sauce which is a refreshing change from the fried okra you normally find at restaurants. The steak was cooked perfectly and the charcoal grill really gives it a great flavor. I would recommend getting the miso butter on the side though as a little bit goes a long way! The beer and cocktails are also good. The IPA was the best beer we tried here. They have a very solid Old Fashion which includes both bourbon and rye. I judge a place on its ability to make an old fashion and they definitely passed the test! I'm not sure why people are complaining about the service. Everyone we encountered here was extremely helpful and friendly. Our server took extra time to have a conversation with us about the area. Definitely recommend to try this place while in town. We will be back!

My first time here. I live close but just never stopped in. My mistake. Great food, atmosphere and staff. I will be going back.

There are few things I respect more than a restaurant that has the confidence to keep course offerings limited and to rely on the strength of any given dish to speak to that decision. Hello Monty offers a thoughtfully crafted menu for brunch, lunch, and dinner that reflects a considerable depth of understanding of how to re-conceptualize American dishes with global sensibility. Service: Finding an open table has not been a problem either time I've visited as Hello Monty doesn't seem to have reached the "buzzworthiness" it deserves. The hosts and servers were friendly, and were flexible when we asked to switch to outdoor seating to enjoy the nice weather. Food: For brunch, the HM Shrimp ~n~ Grits were an utter hit. The dish was aromatic and plated with balance and vibrancy. Every bite was packed with flavor and subtle heat. Dinner did not disappoint. The Crispy Brussels Sprouts successfully set the scene for the rest of the meal. All we could do was look at each other and nod vigorously as we resisted the urge to dive back in before we had swallowed a bite. The Springer Mtn. Farm's 1/2 Chicken found it's way onto my plate as my main entrée. Nothing quite beats the feeling of having made the "right" choice at a restaurant. The rich yogurt paired with the spices and smokiness of the perfectly cooked chicken were a perfect balance of flavors. My friend had the Springer Mtn Farm's Chicken Wings as his main dish and he was kind enough to share a wing with me. These wings are absolutely in the running for the best wings in Chattanooga. Final Thoughts: Another great addition to the Southside. Honestly, I just can't wait to go back. I love the location, the décor, the vibes. I encourage all to patron this place.

We came with a part of 6. We had a reservation at 5:00. They sat us at a small table which was ok but not the best. Our food was good. Our waiter was good. However, at 7:15 when we just finished dessert and got our last drink, the manager (i assume she was because she was wearing a different outfit than the servers) cane to our table and asked us to move because "there has been a party waiting outside for 15 mins in the cold" what??! We spent almost $400 in there and they asked us to move? We were really upset. Our waiter was too because we had just asked if it was ok if we stayed and had another drink. I'm not sure if we will be back because of this, but the food was good!

Recently tried, Hello Monty, and would recommend it. The atmosphere of the restaurant is nice for a small gathering with friends. The staff were very attentive and professional. I didn't catch the name of our waitress, but she was excellent. As for the food, my one critique would be that the menu is somewhat limited; although, all of the food is delicious. I had the burger and substituted for a plant based burger with fries. You will need to try their honey mustard dipping sauce if you get any fries. It is delicious. If you are a coffee lover, this is not the place for you. They don't have multiple options for coffee; they just offer an old school nostalgic experience with a pot of coffee and cream. Overall, enjoyed my time there, P.s, parking is available on the street or at the parking lot parallel to the restaurant. Warning: I know two people who were ticketed despite paying for parking.

My partner and I wanted to try somewhere we hadn't been before. We walked in and the atmosphere was beautiful.. We had a reservation for 2 @ 6 pm. We were greeted with a warm smile and sat right away. The server came by right away. She pointed to the specials sheet and navigated the menu for us. She included what she was out of as well. I had the ribeye and my partner had the Mahi on the special menu. We ended it off with a brownie and coffee...good food good service...

While in town, I wanted to try out a new weekend spot with Mom so we chose Hello Monty. Staff was friendly and attentive. Heat lamps kept us cozy on the outside patio while we sipped on drinks from the bar and caught up a bit on life lately. We ordered the veggie naan pizza to split. Two pieces each was just enough of this healthy dish with uniquely tasty sauce. Then we ordered the s'mores dessert to split. THAT was a lot of marshmallow chocolate sweetness! And we each made the perfect s'more out of it. Was fun to check out Main St's newest addition.

Great place for dinner and brunch. Great beer and wine selections and really outstanding Old Fashioned! Food was great across the board but what really stood out for me is all the vegetables, like Brussels sprouts, carrots, and other sides. I'm a meat eater but if I were a vegetarian I would be eating here every day. They have an outdoor bar that really needs to get opened more often.

Great food .. a+ beer (helles for me). Server at bar was amazing at keeping all our orders in her head with a busy crowd. Owner brewmaster was really interesting and knowledgeable. We came back the next day and ordered all the same dishes.Sat outside and again got great service and a+ food again. Highly recommended.

An amazing addition to Southside dining! Everything we tried here was excellent. The interior was done very well and I can't wait to sit on the patio this summer (they said it's dog friendly!). Started with an old fashioned and the naan. Light and salty with garlic sauce, everything a heart desires. For dinner I got the Caesar salad which was light, I hate when the dressing is heavy and creamy so this was my ideal salad. Added the shrimp skewers on top myself. My husband got the chicken and grits and let me tell you - YUM! Seasoned to perfection. The grits were more like a congee almost and that is not a complaint. Outstanding for real. Can't come wait to come back and tell all our friends!

Had a wonderful time at this restaurant! I came with a group of 8 and we got to try a little bit of everything. As appetizers we got the crispy Brussels sprouts and the beer cheese - both were delicious. The Brussels sprouts came with a lemon aioli that really made the dish stand out. For a table of 8 we got two of each appetizer (dip and sprouts) and it was more than enough. I got the mozzarella naan flatbread - I definitely recommend. It was thin, crispy, and cheesy. The large plates were served without a side (that was separate order). The steak seemed to be the standout. For dessert we tried the s'mores and the browny - both worth the try! They have a good bar selection as well as some beers on tap, but at the time I went the brewery is not yet operational. We also had a wonderful server who was patient with us and had some great menu recommendations. I will definitely be coming back!

We stopped here for snacks and drinks. Staff was very pleasant. The beer cheese was supreme!!! We ended up getting a second order. Wings were decent but the beer cheese was everything. Nice patio, would def go back.

Great beer, I love their IPA. Food and service were very good as well. No

Amazing food and service. Awesome outdoor space! We had the Italian sausage flatbread, charred Brussels and several Paloma's. All delicious.

Food, service and ambiance are fantastic! Brunch on the patio was outstanding. One of the best brunch menus I've ever seen. 100% recommend this restaurant.

This restaurant would get 4/5 (see review below); however, they get 3/5 because they push the payment of the employees onto us in the forms of tips. I would rather them increase the price of food and use that money to pay their servers, hosts, and other staff a salary, provide insurance, and offer stability so that the staff don't have to rely on tipping. They would know what they are bringing home, and can plan for their life and bills and not live paycheck to paycheck. We all know this business makes plenty of money at the top. It's time they start paying their workers who make the place run.

Wow!! Stayed on the Southside and was looking for a place to eat after a tiring few days doing a trade show at the convention center. I stumbled upon this restaurant and I couldn't be happier. I had the grilled veggies and finished off with the vegan pannacotta. Kat the bartender and the waitress Kat were beyond accommodating.

We went to Hello Monty often for brunch and dinner. Their food was always excellent- amazing flatbreads and desserts! The servers were always courteous and accommodating.

The food is delicious and insta-gram-able. The beer is mostly European with a beautiful Lager/brite tank setup at the bar. highly recommend

After not being greeted into the restaurant, we were asked if we had a reservation. We did, and the request made on the reservation was not made. We had our 18 month old daughter with us and a highchair was not ready. The table they sat us at was in the middle of a booth section so our daughter could reach the table behind us making our meal and their meal a disaster. The sides lacked flavor and were not proportionate to the protein size. Our waters were not filled, not kept up with for the entirety of the meal. We were so disappointed and still hungry that we went to a different restaurant for an actual meal. We will never eat here again, not recommend this restaurant to anyone. Such a disappointment in service, food quality and atmosphere.

Great food and beer and service! The outside seating is also nice. We enjoyed everything we had.

Wonderful way to spend a Sunday! Brussels w aioli, grilled Caesar w salmon and Oh! The naan! Get it all! Server Carrie cheerful and sweet.

Very nice restaurant- great ambiance. Went with my family and had Amelia as a server. I have celiac (can't have gluten) and she was so knowledgeable about the menu and cross contamination. The chef was also very knowledgeable about gluten and the potential for cross contamination. We got the red snapper (delicious!) and my family had the pork tenderloin, shrimp skewers, and broccolini. We also had an app of brussel sprouts that were delicious. Will definitely be back!!

Great atmosphere, wonderful food a great service from Lexie! Highly recommend. ...................

I was so excited to hear chef Rebecca had a new venture, this place didn't disappoint! The middlins we're actually my favorite with the miso butter, I could probably eat a whole bucket. Service was great and the overall feel was fresh and light. I spoke with the bartender who said there was plans to have beer brewing vats installed, definitely will be back to explore that!

Great veggie burger and wine this evening. Mary and staff were very attentive and kind to a solo traveler. Will be back on my next trip to Chattanooga.
