I love this place!
I am honestly shocked by the bad reviews. I've had nothing but great food, superb service, and fabulous beer at Monk's and I consider myself to be quite intolerant of mediocrity where service is concerned! Whenever friends are in town, we make it a priority to swing by, even if just for a Belgian beer and the best mussels anywhere around. (Try the Thai!!) To the previous comment, no- I have never been to Belgium "like you have", but I don't think that the fact makes me unable to assess food quality. I love the pommes frites. To each his own, I suppose. To me, Monk's Cafe is just a good time.

Yummy food!
This is my favorite place in Philly. Great food and awesome beer! It can get crowded but if you can get a table you will not be disappointed.

most disappointing wings ever
great burgers, great mussels. unpredictable service. good prices. disappointing chicken wings - undercooked and mushy skin with uninspiring sauce

over rated
good Belgian beer [select]ion and mussels. the rest of the menu is nothing special and over priced. the service sucks too. if you want a larger beer [select]ion, great food and friendly, knowledgable service, try Eulogy instead.

On a downward spiral
Ten years ago, the food was excellent there. Nowadays it is quite mediocre. If you have ever eaten real frites in Belgium like me, you will be majorly disappointed with Monk's frites - thin, oily and lukewarm. The waitstaff behave as if they have better things to do - the last time I went in there, they sat me at a table covered with crumbs and spilled water. The chicken cooked with beer tasted all right, but everything else was not.

Disappointment!
After hearing all the hype about Monk's food and beer, we finally decided to give it a try. We were told the wait would be 30/40 minutes and finally got a table a hour and a half later. The restaurant has no atmosphere and is extremely small which makes waiting even more annoying. We thought at least the food would be worth it....wrong. Worst bar food I have eaten in Center City. The beer was nothing special either. I suggest going to other pubs in the area. I will not go back to Monk's.
