My wife likes to have a bloody Mary while I enjoy my opportunity to have a burger without the guilt. The staff are always welcoming and recognize us, making the experience even more comfortable. Kind of like going to dinner at families's houses. I recommend this place above all others; if you get the chance to experiment with their menu, their burgers and fry sauce are awesome!!!

Came in hyped for some "legendary" brisket and left feeling personally attacked by food. Staff…read moreacted like we were interrupting their very important TikTok scrolling session--barely looked up when taking the order, zero smiles, one-word answers, and straight-up rolled their eyes when I asked for extra sauce. Probably because I heard they make them share tips with the back crew. Pay the back crew better then. The meat? Dry as a cardboard box left in the Nevada sun for three summers. Brisket had the texture of an old boot sole and somehow zero smoke flavor--like they forgot to turn the smoker on. Ribs were tough, overcooked, and tasted mostly of disappointment. Coleslaw was just sad shredded cabbage swimming in watery mayo. Beans were straight from a can with zero seasoning. Even the sweet tea tasted like someone stirred it with regret. $18 for a two-meat plate that made me wish I'd just eaten gas station jerky instead. Place sucked. Atmosphere sucked. Food sucked. Would not return even if they paid me. 0/10, do not recommend unless you hate yourself

There are three "hidden gems" in this small town in the middle of everywhere and nowhere. During…read morethe "off season", there are only 5 or 6 restaurants that are open. Doug's is one of them. On a recent weekend trip to Monticello, my son and I had the pleasure to dine at this unassuming little place. Inside and out, it is not much to look at, but don't judge this book by it's cover! Unfortunately, they didn't have ribs available, but the brisket... OMG THE BRISKET!!! Have you ever had brisket so incredibly tender that you actually needed a spoon? Seriously! This brisket was so tender that it would crumble and fall off of a fork! Service was fast, friendly, and helpful. You definitely need to try this place out next time you are in or near Monticello!!

I love discovering places like this. We were passing through Monticello on our way to Moab. I had…read morejust got a speeding ticket and wanted to get out of the car and enjoy a coffee beverage somewhere. High Desert Cafe looked inviting, so we made a stop here. This place is pretty cool. The outside of the building is very colorful. High Desert Cafe is a coffee shop, gift shop and diner all in one building. We first checked out the gift shop area before getting our coffee. They have a number of shirts, blankets, jewelry, local stones and art for sale. High Desert Cafe has two separate counters - one for coffee and tea drinks and the other one for food. The food menu has a variety of sandwiches, burgers, salads, breakfast items, smoothies and ice cream. It was early, so we ordered breakfast burritos and coffee. The kitchen staff was nice and chatted with us while they cooked our food. There is a small dining area where you can eat your meal when it is ready. High Desert Cafe is a nice hidden gem to stop by if you are passing through Monticello.

Do NOT get any pork dish here. The server informed me they mainly serve beef or chicken - which…read moremeans the pork stays in the freezer much longer. I got the pork pad thai and it was below average. The pork tasted stale, rancid, and gamey. The dish noodles themselves were just ok. Ambiance was calm, servers were sweet. They only had one chef, didn't have sushi and a number of other dishes when I went in a Friday afternoon, though. Not sure if it was poor timing or if it is usually like that. Bottom line: This may be a historically local favorite, but it is certainly not up to par with other places. Apparently the quality has gone down over the last couple years, unsure what changed. If you're visiting from out of town and are craving Thai food, go to Arches Thai in Moab, UT - WAY better food for similar price. It is worth the extra drive, trust me.

The four of us all had different things, and nobody had any complaints. My breakfast burrito was a little unconventional (a green chili sauce and a spicy gravy on the side) but very, very good. SERVICE: Okay, friendly, maybe a little inexperienced. Also waited a long time to have the check-and-card picked up (ended up going to the front counter). AMBIANCE: It's a cafe. The windows overlook a big dirt parking lot. The place was clean and tidy, though, and I was looking for a good breakfast, not a luxurious setting. NET-NET: I would go back any time I was passing through. Our friends recommended it, and I will, too.

Stroke the burger OFF your list & you'd be doing yourself a favor. Sweet pickle instead of dill pickle, half the amount of beef or bison meat, bad bread.

These new owners are losing return customers left & right & everyone at the table, strangers & friends, agreed this is tragic. The coffee shop across the way is awesome & I hope the degradation at Milts doesn't hurt them, too. Go get an exemplary coffee there if you're jonesing for quality taste.
