Full Monty’s Bistro & Taphouse

Solid 4 star place. I would even give them 5 stars for their beer and service! Best tap list in town for IPA lovers. They always have grapefruit sculpin on tap which is very rare around here. Depending on what you order, some food is better than others. If you want a safe choice, their burgers are always good. Their hand dipped items are also very, very good when the cut of meat is good. And whatever you do, get a side of their homemade BBQ sauce. I’m not even a huge fan of most BBQ sauces and this one is AMAZING. Last thing, their fries and onion rings are delicious! This place keeps us coming back, especially for the beer and service!

I’ve eaten here 4 times now, and will keep adjusting my rating based on the average of all experiences.
Twice the pork tacos were amazing.
Once they were good.
The other items I’ve had have been lackluster, and today for example, half my food tasted stale.
One of the waitresses is particularly good.
The owner that I met seems like a great guy.
I hope this place succeeds; I’d sure like it to.
Its close to home and convenient.
Friendly atmosphere. I will be back.

Came in from out of town to visit family and they suggested we try this place. Husband and I ordered the burgers, he had a double and I had a single with avocado. They were cooked perfectly and had great charbroiled flavor. My husbamd is very picky about his burgers and he loved his. The fresh cut fries were also quite good with Jojo seasoning. My father had the win
gs and enjoyed them. The waitress was kind and pointed out that he could get the same wings cheaper at the happy hour price. Took a while to get our food but to be fair, we came in about 3:30 on a weekday. Would definitely go back next time I’m in town.

Went to Full Montys this evening for the first time. We sat at the bar, by choice. I ordered a burger and my husband ordered the black bean burger. Both were extremely tasty and cooked really well. I had onion rings and they were some of the best I’ve ever had. Hubby had fries with his which were very tasty as well. We tried the in-​house fry sauce and honey mustard. Both were delicious.
To drink I ordered a bloody mary, it was good but the cucumber vodka sort of overpowered the flavor. After that I ordered a blackberry/​Raspberry beer. Very good. My husband who is a huge IPA drinker, ordered the Crux IPA. He loved it.
They’ve done a great job cleaning up the place. Very inviting and the service was great. Pamela at the bar was fantastic.
We will be back! :)

The service was pretty good. The waitresses were sweet but there seemed to be some off communication and confusion about some things. The atmosphere was nice. I liked how they renovated the place. It looked a lot better than the restaurant that was there before it. The food was just alright though.
The steak bites were yummy, but mostly from the beer batter that they’re fried in, as the steak itself didn’t have much flavor. The burger that my dad got was alright but there was nothing special about it. The fries were pretty good though. The chicken chopped salad was alright but it was drenched in vinaigrette, and the greens did not seem very fresh.
It wasn’t a bad experience, but it wasn’t anything special. It seemed more like a bar with food, with the drinks as the main focus.

Nothing fancy, atmosphere was quite boring. Seemed to be more of a family style place now, that happens to serve 24 different beers. It is a place that I really have no reason to want to rush back to. Gal that helped us obviously was new and a bit lost, but we understood. Wife got the 3 fish tacos, she did enjoy them, said flavor was good and the fish was cooked good. I had fish and chips, fries were good, but the fish batter was undercooked. Sure it’s a place you should try at least once. But I myself don’t know if I will ever go back in.

My husband and I went at about 8pm on a Tuesday night. There was only one other couple in the bar area where we sat so it was very quiet. The atmosphere was relaxed but the renovations that they have done have up-​ed the class factor by about a million. It looks so bright, open, and inviting. I actually felt like I was dressed a little too casual for how nice it is!
The service was good. I’ll give a little leeway here because I know that the cook/​server only had about a week of experience at this restaurant. I think it opened at the beginning of October. My husband and I both got the build-​your-​own burgers. They have little papers at the tables so you can check off what you want on your burgers and turn them in to the server. Mine was a single patty with lettuce, tomato, grilled onions, and mayo. He got a double patty with the same plus sauteed mushrooms and swiss. I ended up with a double patty minus tomato, and he got a single. When the waitress brought our burgers out I could tell right away that they were wrong. I said, «These aren’t right…» and she seemed stunned. After a moment of confusion she brought me a tomato slice and I forked one of my patties over to my husband’s burger. Again, I’m giving a little leeway here because any other time that would have been unacceptable. Especially because they get the tickets that we fill out ourselves. There’s really no reason for a burger to come out incorrectly. They might consider sending the tickets back out with the server so that way if there is an issue they can look right at the ticket to confirm.
The burger was A-​OK. I got excited when I read that they were going to have freshly ground meat for their burgers because I was hoping for a place where I could get a reasonably priced steakhouse style burger. There’s nothing better in this world than a perfectly cooked medium well burger. So I was quite disappointed when I saw that instead of ¹⁄₃ and ²⁄₃ lb patties they just doubled up on the ¹⁄₃^rd. I could go down the street to Nancy’s and get the same thing for less. I understand that it is probably easier to cook ¹⁄₃ lb patties because the food will come out more quickly but man was I disappointed.
That being said. I’m excited to come back here to try some of the other things on the menu. The fresh made chicken strips sound lovely and the other couple in the bar that night was raving about the fish and chips. I will go back for sure but I really hope they change the way they do burgers.

Having taken over the old porters pub location, Full Monty’s has a good open concept feel with a large dining area. They are child friendly until 9PM and remain opened until midnight with full menu service until close. They currently offer approx 24 beers on tap and one cider. They said they will be rotating the beers on tap which is very nice. Prices are very reasonable and the food was pretty good. We tried the steak bites appetizer which is steak cut up the dipped in batter and deep fried and served with a chipotle bbq sauce. I had the ¹⁄₃ lb hamburger which was cooked perfectly but very thin. I also added avocado for $ 1 which was good, rather than serve a couple slices of avocado on the bun they smear the avocado on the bun, whether this is because it’s not cut fresh or bought in tubs I don’t know but it tasted good. The fries were hand cut and tasted really good. The chicken tenders are not frozen but clearly fresh cut up chicken breast then deep fried. All of the food was served pretty quickly and hot. There’s plenty of staff working and service was really good. Parking can be a pain and really the only negative but it’s nothing they can control.
