Monty's on the Square

We chose this spot because of its central location in a very tourist-heavy area and the solid reviews. Despite the crowds nearby, there wasn’t a long wait, which was a pleasant surprise. Seating is a bit tight, so it’s best suited for groups of three to four. There is counter seating as well, though depending on the time of day, there may be a wait. We happened to get lucky and were seated right away. The bathroom setup is less ideal—located down a dim corridor past dishwashing stations and storage, and the restroom itself is very small. Given the layout, it would be difficult for anyone in a wheelchair to access it comfortably. As for the food, the shrimp po’boy was fantastic, though it was surprising that they didn’t offer cocktail or tartar sauce. The remoulade worked well enough. The

Took a day trip to New Orleans while visiting some family in Florida and they recommended Monty’s. The food was really delicious and full of flavor. We also tried some beignets and took some to go lol. I would definitely try this place again and highly recommend. Follow more reviews @IG: Robthefoodguy @eat_n_critique

This is my second time here. The first time I came with my friends. Today. I came with my husband. We both loved it. Our waiter was Colleen and she was Amazing. Very attentive and friendly. We definitely will come back when we’re here in New Orleans

I had a fantastic experience at Monty’s on the Square! I tried the Fried Chicken Eggs Benedict on the recommendation of the staff, and it did not disappoint — perfectly crispy chicken with rich, flavorful gravy. Our server was incredibly friendly, and the service was quick without ever feeling rushed. The coffee was solid, which made the meal even better. The location is perfect, right in the heart of the French Quarter, making it easy to explore the area before or after your meal. I would definitely come back next time I’m in New Orleans — highly recommend!

Absolutely loved Monty’s on the Square! I ordered the shrimp and grits, beignets, and the king cake and everything was incredible! The shrimp and grits were perfectly seasoned, creamy, and full of Cajun flavor, while the beignets were light, fluffy, and filled with cinnamon sugar, covered in the perfect amount of powdered sugar (just like you’d hope for in New Orleans!). The king cake was a sweet treat that topped off the meal beautifully. The service was amazing, attentive, friendly, and made me feel so welcomed from start to finish. You can tell the staff really take pride in making sure every guest has a great experience. If you’re looking for yummy food, great service, and true southern charm, Monty’s on the Square is a must-try. I’ll definitely be back!
