Ariel NicoleJune 9, 2012The mac & cheese is delicious. Come with an exotic beer in mind, they probably have it.
Lee SJuly 30, 2012Don't overlook the scallops, best ever! Be sure to squeeze the lemon on them for full effect.
Kathleen NgoSeptember 21, 2014Mussels were a bit overcooked but the fries and delirium tremens more than made up for it.
Rana GhahremanpourMay 13, 2012Try the veal cheeks in the appetizer menu. It's to die for! Everything is delicious here.
Mike TaylorFebruary 18, 2010Best Mussels in the city. Greatest Belgian Beer Bar in the City, or maybe the whole country. If you like beer, you will love Monk's!
CitySolveNovember 28, 2011There's actually a beer book. Don't forget to order the fries and the bourbon mayo.
BaksOctober 8, 2011Get the buffalo-style frog's legs. You will not regret it. And try the Tilquin Gueuze!
Every time I go here, I’m amazed at the beer list all over again.
They need to add the option to get double dipping sauce with the frittes!
Stephen L.November 5, 2012If you don't spend more on beer than on food when dining here, you're doing something wrong
Taryn ZychalOctober 1, 2010The seitan meatball dish is vegan and amazingly filling. Don't knock it til you've tried it
