Fodor's Expert Review Monty's Blue Plate Diner

The 50s-diner-meets-hipster atmosphere at Monty's Blue Plate Diner is a hit with locals, especially for all-day breakfast. For a true throwback experience grab a stool at the bar. Lunch and dinner items carry comfort-food flair, particularly Nana's chicken-noodle soup, yet vegans flock here for the BLT sandwich made with tempeh. Nonalcoholic shakes feature quirky names and ingredients, such as the Fat Elvis Shake or Burn One All the Way (a chocolate trifecta). There are also vintage ice-cream cocktails.
