About this restaurant

  • Lively
  • Good for groups
  • Great for craft beers
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.

We do have 4 of our beers on draft. We've got a hefeweizen called Hefway There, a hazy IPA called And So It Begins, a west coast IPA called Dry Wave Distinction and another hazy IPA with different notes from the other called Trial and Error. We have them listed on our smaller menu and on the TV by the front door and by the bar. We'd love for you to try them and we're so glad you enjoyed our food! Thank you for your feedback!

Patty's day specials. The reuben egg rolls were excellent, especially with the mustard sauce. My mom had the reuben sandwich & fries for her entree. The sandwich was excellent but the fries were not good at all. Almost like they had been sitting out for quite the while & not fresh at all. I had the twisted chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries & I would definitely recommend this sandwich. Saw a couple tables around us have the pretzel & I can't wait to go back & have one of those it looked soo good.
