When you name your restaurant after Trappist monks who've spent centuries perfecting their craft, you're serious about your beer. That's why we hired a master to craft our house brews and why our beer list spans the globe. With everything from refreshing pilsners that match the lightness of our thin-crust pizza to dark, rich ales that stand up to our decadent burgers, you're certain to find a new favorite at The Lucky Monk. We're sure that our Prime beef burgers — served with hand-cut fries — will be the juiciest you've ever had. Our other house specialty is pizza. It is crisp and generously topped with fresh ingredients. And we round out our menu with vibrant, flavorful salads; a handful of classic, satisfying American entrées; and some sweet surprises.

    The restaurant was over booked on Valentines Day. We were seated 20 minutes after our reservation at a high-top table by the bar. Our server Mario was excellent & made up for the delays with the kitchen.

    Excellent service from our waitress Sam. Timing of food delivery was a little slow but it was very busy for Valentine’s Day so that was understandable. Always a great meal at Lucky Monk.

    We had a fantastic experience celebrating Valentine’s Day as a family!  The staff was phenomenal and the owners were engaging and incredibly accommodating - they even brought our kids a complementary dessert for the celebration! We’ve been coming here for years and have always enjoyed our experience. The food and drinks are terrific and highly recommended, don’t miss your opportunity to experience The Lucky Monk!

    The beer menu on their main menu is SERIOUSLY outdated. Don’t advertise your brewing and have a beer menu for options you do not have. Big turn off

    Outstanding food: awesome appetizers and a Smash Burger that really knocked it out of the park, cooked to perfection, masterfully seasoned and held together by fresh bread on top of a wood base that made the trick to keep it warm and tasty. Thank you so much for a great meal!

    It was my first time dining here. The menu choices were very nice. Was impressed with the fact that food items and condiments were house made. We were greeted upon arrival with a smile and our server Jen was attentive and informative. We will definitely be back.

    First time there. Food and service were excellent. Only complaint was the music. It sounded like a cover band doing classic hits as dance music. It was very loud. We will come back.
