Breakfast - all options - delicious, and tastes like down home cookin'. Their pancakes are the best. Dinner plate sized with amazing flavor. Also, they'll will add to them if you'd like- blueberries etc. Chicken fried steak and gravy cannot be beat and their onion rings are the best I've ever had. Love the 40's diner vibe and all the staff are friendly and great. This is our family go to whenever we venture out for breakfast. They never disappoint! read more

One of my top places in Georgetown!They have a great variety on their menu and I always feel like I have serval options to pick from during brunch. Their GF buns are delicious and I love to get the hickory burger. They don't label menu items but it does state GF buns. All servers have been very knowledgeable so far and will volunteer what items they have which are safe! They have GF pie as well (chocolate with nutty crust I believe). read more

We had such high hopes for this place based on a friend's recommendation. Maybe it was an off day as it seemed everyone was a little stressed. We always want to support local businesses whenever we can, as the chains just don't do it for us. That said, I understand that the cost of all things is higher these days, yet a simple breakfast(even with crazy egg prices) eggs, toast and a side should not exceed $10.99-$11.99 at the most. I appreciate the unique offerings and the specialties...........but want an affordable breakfast option once in a while. read more

Your Yelper Girl here! My sis and I decided to try this restaurant for breakfast as we had never been. We had perused the menu and decided to share the three egg omelette with ham, cheese, and spinach and the cinnamon roll. The cinnamon roll had rave reviews online and we were excited to try it. The omelette came with a choice of potatoes or grits and we chose the grits. It also came with a choice of english muffins or biscuit (get the biscuit!) and choice of jams (peach, blackberry, and a third choice I can't recall) - we chose the peach. The omelette was very yummy; however, for a 3 egg omelette , I was expecting it to be bigger and filled with more food. The grits were not to my liking...they seemed to have been overcooked as they were a tad mushy. The biscuit was the bomb! So warm and melts in your mouth! Peach jam was okay. The cinnamon roll was a bit of a letdown. It was nice and warm; however, it didn't live up to the hype of other reviews. We didn't finish it because it was just okay. The middle seemed a bit soggy where the outside was nice and firm. I wouldn't order it again. I would like to try some other selections for breakfast the next time I'm in the area to see what really wows me. read more

Across the board a great place. Quick, fair priced, good food, clean, and efficient staff.

We went to Monument Cafe for lunch. We waited outside for 20 min. Breakfast for 2 with tip was $49.90 - ridiculous price. Husband's bacon was totally burnt and non edible. Mulligan's breakfast for 2 with tip is $28. I think we will stick with Mulligan's! read more

Food good Service very good Ambiance loud and crowded. Good if that's your thing. They said they would call my cell to let me know when they had a table. Never received a call or text. Glad I checked with them after 30 minutes. read more

We traveled to Georgetown to visit with my daughter and her boyfriend and they recommended we try this restaurant for brunch. The restaurant resides just outside of the Georgetown Square and it is definitely popular among diners, so expect a wait time. The diner is set up like a 50s diner too - booths and counter seating that will remind you of diners like in "Back to the Future" movie and such. We waited about 30 minutes for a booth, and then we were greeted and served by Jessica who helped us figure out what we might want to eat and explained the various gravy choices. We chose the egg plate with sausage gravy on over easy eggs, the 4 cheese grilled cheese and tomato bisque soup, the fried chicken breast and the monument chicken and biscuit with regular gravy. Well, we were all very happy with our choices! The chicken was cooked perfectly, both gravy were delicious, the grilled cheese was wonderful and of course, the biscuits were divine. Jessica made sure our experience was excellent by always checking back on us. All in all, this was a great place to dine for brunch. We'd definitely return and give this place 5 stars. read more

This is a special spot, never disappoints. Went for brunch this weekend and had a lower than usual wait. The eggs Benedict and French toast were so delicious (as well as their biscuits and jam!) And the service was phenomenal. We had Stephanie as a waitress and she had the best energy and service. Can't wait to come back. read more

I've been a regular at Monument Cafe when in Georgetown, but recent visits have left me disappointed. Prices have gone up significantly (at least 10% in the last six months), and now they're charging extra for items that should be included. I ordered the Chicken and Biscuits ($14.95), which clearly states it comes with sausage gravy, yet I was charged an extra $0.25 for it. The chicken breast was also thin, small, and overcooked. While the atmosphere and service remain great, I feel the menu should be transparent about all charges. It's not about the quarter... it's about honesty and accountability. Sadly, I won't be returning. read more

The Monument Café - Happy visitor - American Near Me - Georgetown, Texas

Hooray for Breakfast! Everyone loves brunch but me, I love BREAKFAST! A friend and I decided to stop in on a Sunday before a Costco run. We grabbed a booth and did a quick menu scan to see what stood out. This is a typical cafe so no fancy ambiance or jazzy seating. The coffee was hot and fresh and the service was typical cafe style. Being our first time we really should have asked some questions but just assumed what we ordered was what we would get. Much to our surprise they itemize everything you order so if you ask for more sauce or onion, jalapeño they will charge you. They don't do half orders so you have to order individually . Our server seemed to rush us so we quickly ordered what he recommend and settled. Settling was not a bad idea, the servings were plentiful so we shared and had to go containers. The gingerbread French toast left a lasting impression and the migas taco hit the spot. The biscuit was not as fluffy as I would have liked and the sausage gravy could use more sausage but overall the food was hot, fresh and delicious. We will return with our appetite. read more

Go to monument cafe it won't disappoint! read more

The Monument Café - Corn Beef Hash - American Near Me - Georgetown, Texas

Came here not looking at reviews prior and honestly just expecting a simple basic breakfast but the experience was anything but! We chose to sit at the counter and it was so fun to watch the food being put together and served. Service was excellent! We ordered their chicken and grits, corned beef hash, roasted corn chowder, and strawberry shortcake. Everything was delicious but especially the grits. Cooked to perfection topped with a poached egg and crispy chicken tenders. I also feel like everything was large enough to share. Did we? No, of course not. I basically had to be rolled out of there with how full I was. read more

The go-to breakfast and brunch place in Georgetown that is an institution for the area. It was packed and still they are able to turn over tables and got seated during rush hour within 15 minutes. The chicken fried steak with green beans was the best I had whilst in Texas and could tell the steak was a real steak pounded and fried versus a processed tenderized steak patty. I loved the atmosphere of a busy diner that was huge, but not so loud and packed where you felt uncomfortable. There's so many things on the menu to explore you really have to come multiple times to find some favorites. For me, I hadn't had my fill of chicken fried steak and ended up eating 3 different chicken fried steaks in this trip to Texas. read more

The Monument Café - Breakfast Sandwich, home fries and fresh fruit - American Near Me - Georgetown, Texas

Monument Cafe is one of my absolute favorite restaurants in the Austin area! It's too bad it's so far north and only open the morning, but I guess that's part of what makes it special. The interior is charming, and the food is simple and tasty. I forget what I got the first time I came here - probably an omelet. This time I got the breakfast sandwich, which was as good as it looks. The croissant was buttery and flaky, but also soft enough to complement the egg, ham, and cheese well. My husband got an omelet as usual, and I had his sides. I have to admit the grits weren't amazing. They could take this review down to 4.5 stars, but everything else was so good I'm rounding up. Our breakfast was quick even though we were there on a busy Saturday morning during the Pistons on the Square car show. I look forward to another excuse to come back up here again! Maybe I'll pretend to be interested in the car show again? read more

The Monument Café - Breakfast Sandwich, Three Egg Omelette - American Near Me - Georgetown, Texas

Significant improvement since last visit. The chicken breast was tender but awkward since it was split and breaded so stood up like a teepee and breading fell off most. Poached eggs were cooked soft as requested so didn't have to send them back - yeah! Biscuits were very tasty especially with the homemade jam! Pancake was nothing special and for $5.99 for one it wasn't worth it. Rather have a $5 cinnamon roll. read more

I'm not sure what the other Monument Cafe is that also comes up in Georgetown but this place is marvelous. Outstanding food! We had the corned beef hash and the stuffed breakfast burrito. They make their own corned beef on the premises. Both were absolutely delicious. The coffee was terrific as well. And Lauren, our server, was so nice and efficient. I certainly can't think of any place for breakfast that would've been better. Definitely recommend! read more

Everything here is made from scratch and that's the highlight! The service is also amazing. We had a local college student serve us who's name I can't remember but she was incredibly accommodating and served our group of five no issue. She also served fresh biscuits which were honestly the best I've ever had in my life no joke and gave us a free slice of buttermilk pie to split. I would recommend the biscuits, burgers, and house made root beer. Spacious place with plenty of seating for large groups. read more

This was a great place to come have breakfast and we were all first time visitors! The wait was "30 minutes" but it was definitely less for 4 people. Parking in front of the restaurant is rare and they have pick up spots reserved but the rest was easy to park in and it was busy. We were alerted via text that our table was ready and we got seated right away. We all ordered drinks to start and everyone was pleased with their drinks. The breakfast portion was tasty as well. I got the eggs Benedict with potatoes and it was delish! I think if I were to get that next time I would get a little extra hollandaise sauce on the side. My husband got the migas and enjoyed it. He was so inspired and said he wants to make them at home! My friend got an omelette and her husband also got the migas. My husband got their homemade blackberry jam and I ate it all haha There was nothing but silence when our food came because we were thoroughly enjoying our food! Our server was friendly and helpful. She was very nice to us and offered suggestions when I asked her opinion. The ambiance is a little noisy but that is alright because it is to be expected in a busy restaurant. It had a diner vibe that was close to a deli which I really enjoyed! I will definitely be back here again to try something different! Thank you for the great and pleasant experience! read more

The best gravy I had in my life. Food is pretty good and ambient is comfortable. Maybe prices are a bit higher for the portions and plating you get but food is tasty. Service might just be a little faster but since the place was very crowded at the time we arrive it was kind of expected. read more

We've been wanting to give this popular diner a try and finally got a chance on this year's Fourth of July! The Cafe is located right next to one of my favorite book shops in Georgetown and there's a beautiful rise garden right in front of the restaurant. It was a holiday morning and the restaurant was busy and FULL. Our wait time was about 35mins so we put our name down, walked around the town and waited for the text to go back. When it was out turn, we returned to the cafe. It was around 12:30pm and the line was still long. Good thing is all the tables move quite fast so even if there's a line you don't have to wait for hours for a table. We got a cute sofa seat by the window. The interior design of the Monument Cafe is a very typical American diner style, with table seats and bar seats. You can see directly through the kitchen and watch the beautiful chaos as you see in the movie diner scenes. They have a wide selection of American plates on their menu, and there's also a blackboard of seasonal special options to your right upon entering through the front door. The server was super sweet and friendly. She greeted us with menus soon after we sat down and offered iced water right away. We ordered a plate, a special menu steak & eggs, 1 and 1 fresh grapefruit juice. While we waited for our meals, the server brought us some biscuits to enjoy! They were pretty good and it was a rlly nice gesture of her to offer. I LOVE my steak & eggs. The steak is sooo delicious but I wish they put less oil on my sunny side up. The chicken plates was rlly yummy too. The fried chicken paired well with the eggs and sauce. Will come back again for another steak & eggs! read more

Everyone was Super kind and attentive. We will be back in the near future, 10/10 recommend!! read more

Great food and first class service, definitely recommending this place for breakfast! They make a fantastic eggs benedict.

We went for a breakfast here and well it was awesome! Their pancake was massive, literally filled a whole dinner plate and bacon eggs home fries were just amazing! I highly recommend this place and the service was super fast. The waitresses, didn't see any waiters that day, but they were so nice, friendly and helpful! It's like walking back into time into this diner. I highly recommend it! Remind me walking into a diner in the 60s or 70s! read more

The Monument Cafe is diner food done right, like a page from history. From the outside of the restaurant looking like the hangout for the coolest cats, to the ambience and decor inside feeling like another time, to the absolutely delicious breakfast, lunch, and dinner and heavenly deserts, it's worth every penny. I had their chicken fried steak and it was even better than I remembered. The portions are impressive, the seasoning in the batter is a melange of flavors, and the meat was tender and just the right level of juicy. I think part of what differentiates them is that they grill the steak rather than just completely deep frying it so the meat cooks better and is more tender. The mashed potatoes were creamy and rich and really tasted great along with bites of the steak. I can't praise the gravy enough, either, as it was just the right thickness and tasted amazing without being overpowering. I also really recommend checking out their desserts and shakes. They have a locally famous Monument chocolate pie that has a superb pecan crust to complement chocolate shavings and whipped cream. I'm not a big death by chocolate guy, but that pie vanished in record time. I love that they complete that diner nostalgia by having delicious floats and malts that can fill any remaining space left in your stomach, and sometimes they have some really interesting flavors available seasonally. read more
