"If you appreciate a good meaty, cheesy Philly cheesesteak as much as we do, then check out Monti’s. It’s a bar-like space that specializes in the classic Philly staple, which makes sense since the couple that owns and runs the place is from Philadelphia. The authentic Philly cheesesteak is the way to go, and get an order of cheese fries to go with it. " - josh barnett, sam faye, adrian kane, john ringor
"Monti’s will serve an 8-inch cheesesteak with double cheese and cherry peppers on an Amarosa roll, with optional add-ons like onion rings, chile-lemon Doritos, or jalapeño poppers." - Ashok Selvam

"Nearly a year and a half after it was destroyed by a fire, Monti’s Cheesesteaks, a piece of Philly in Lincoln Square, has moved back and settled into its former location at Talman and Lawrence with almost its entire staff and menu intact. The fire and subsequent remodel (covered by insurance) gave owner David Weissner a chance to give the restaurant a few much-needed upgrades, mostly to infrastructure, like wiring, and a few adaptations to the COVID-19 era... Overall, though, both Weissner and his customers are glad that Monti’s is back. 'It’s good to be home,' Weissner says. Monti’s, 4757 N. Talman Avenue, Open 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily." - aimee.levitt
"A fire in late 2020 forced Monti’s Cheesesteaks to relocate from Lincoln Square into a ghost kitchen where it shares a roof with corporate big guns like Chick-Fil-A. The restaurant has found a niche serving up Philadelphia-style cheesesteaks and chicken wings, and ownership touts plans to rebuild. Order online." - Naomi Waxman
