    This is my go to lunch spot in Monticello. It is a unique restaurant in that they have both burritos/bowls and chicken Parmesan and fries. This trip I had a steak bowl with fajita veggies. It was very good. The meat choices aren't as spicy as the chain restaurants so if you are looking for heat, make sure to get the hot salsa and seasoned sour cream. The restaurant is recently renovated with a large dining area. There is also a patio area that typical is open during the summer.

    I ordered a bowl with chicken. And then so many additional possibilities to add Compared to Chipotle I love that they use a different rice and lettuce. They seem to use less seasoning than Chipotle which works well because they did an amazing job curating higher quality ingredients that make the food taste lighter and fresher than Chipotle. My food was delicious and everything reasonably priced. I just wish they would open a Bluestone closer to me in Elk River.

    When venturing to help a friend in the boonies of Monticello and craving Chipotle all week... Bluestone Grill popped up on my Google Maps search! I figured, it's worth a try as I was starving. Their setup is similar to Chipotle and the restaurant was packed at 2pm on a Monday. I ordered a bowl with half shrimp (yassssssss!) and half chicken so I could try a variety. They were both fresh and tasty! They also had yummy brown rice and it was cooked perfect. Something else different... a chipotle sour cream! This added a great smokey flavor to my bowl. I grabbed it to go and really enjoyed it! Thanks for quality food and the shrimp option! Your staff were very friendly and helpful as well! If I'm in the Monticello area again, I will stop back.

    Yummmmm!! Chicken bowl!

    I came back to MN for a visit with one thing on my mind: Chipotle!! Yes we have Maui beaches, but we don't have Chipotle. (#FirstWorldProblems) My sis recommended this place since it was much closer in distance and we had errands to run. I was excited to give it a whirl! This place is located in a long strip mall type building with ample parking. We walked in and there was a line but of course, it was dinner time and it smelled GREAT! Mexican food wafting through the air always makes me happy! This place is very similar to Chipotle. Pick what you want and they whip it up for ya. The ingredients were fresh and the prices were really pretty decent. The amount of food was pretty generous as well. I think I brought 1/3 of it back to my sisters house with me because it was so filling. The staff was friendly and the venue was really clean. I would definitely eat here again! If you're in Monti and looking for a place with good eats, stop here!

    Fast and helpful line.

Everyone's kind of standing around, does not seem like they want to be there, the last two times I have been there they ran out of flavor in their fountain machines- just doesn't seem like anyone really pays attention. The female that is in charge just does not have a great attitude/seem like a motivator. I think if they had a more positive leader maybe that would change the environment. The communication exchange I have witnessed while being there on a few occasions definitely gives off that vibe. Kind of crazy how often owners, of any business, are so not aware of what is going on within their own company. Surprised because this is a new restaurant in Monticello. Wish I had better things to say I do understand that working for any food chain type restaurant probably isn't the most intriguing job, but I can get better service just about anywhere else in Monticello.
