Went for the first time on a Saturday…mistake. The place was super packed. However, they text you when your table is available. The Lark and Owl bookstore has a side door that’s connected to the outside sidewalk of the restaurant. This is very convenient as it allows you to stay out the heat and look around the bookstore while you’re waiting. The waitress was quick, attentive and nice. The food was good and plentiful. They offer complimentary biscuits and jelly so don’t order any.

We really enjoyed our visit here. We showed up at probably the busiest time - brunch on a Sunday. We were pretty nervous about the wait time since it looked like a lot of people were waiting. In the end, we waited about 30 minutes for a table for 2. The atmosphere is pretty relaxing for how busy it was.I got the corned beef hash. My husband got the eggs Benedict. They both were really good and we left full and satisfied. They were out of cinnamon rolls, but we got a carrot cake slice to go. It was fresh and moist. The Arnold Palmer was tart, but the mimosa with orange juice was really good.All around a great experience. We definitely will be back to try more lunch type foods. A guy sitting nearby had a burger and onion rings that looked amazing. Have to try it next time. Be aware that it typically closes at 3. They also have a mention on their menu about no substitutions.

What a great experience! Everyone from the point I walked in to the time I left were super friendly. The building is a 1950s Ford dealership still looks like new. Very clean, can see the kitchen, and nice long diner type bar top. Got so excited when the Biscuits & Gravy came out, i forgot to take a picture of it. Everything we ate was delicious. Definitely coming back to try other items.

This popular venue has been a Georgetown favorite for years. We stopped in for lunch on a Sunday and were seated promptly. The restaurant is clean, charming, with a retro vibe. Only breakfast and lunch are served, but a full range of adult beverages are available. We ordered the chicken fried steak, and (one) pancake, and the migas taco. My pancake was good and the migas taco was delicious. My wife, however, was disappointed with her chicken fried steak. The steak was not tender, and it was bland without a good crunchy crust. She sent it back and got a grilled cheese sandwich and fries. Much better. Service was friendly but slow. Prices are reasonable and parking lots are available next door. I wanted to like this venue more, so I may return at an earlier time and get a sticky bun or sugar waffle. They sell out by 11am usually....

Monument has been a favorite for years. But food quality was not their standard last visit. They have always positioned food quality and locally sourced ingredients. Eggs seemed to be standard mass-market and sweet potatoes were not featured in corned beef hash as described by the menu. The staff was struggling to keep up with the patrons. The servers were friendly enough to overlook the challenge. Eggs were over cooked but replaced quickly. While I respect that some of these issues could be related to supply chain and employee shortage, better communication and quality check could have made a better experience. I will return but hoping for positive changes.

Visiting family in the area, this is where we had breakfast most days. From blueberry pancakes (theyre huge, so think twice about ordering 2), to biscuits and gravy, pearl waffles, chocolate croissants, grits, oatmeal or Annas granola, we loved every bite.Add a freshly pressed o.j., a nitro cold brew, or green power juice to round it off. Loved the coffee.Service exceptional even though always busy; wait times on Sunday was 40 minutes. Other days no wait, but we usually waited a few minutes for a booth.

Come hungry. Monument serves quality and quantity in a facility nostalgic of a 50s diner but cared for well--ckeab and pristine--given its 14 years.Great place for families and travellers alike... Everything we had was delicious... and we ended up leaving with a second cinnamon roll and 3 slices of pie.

I had really high expectations for this place. I added my party to the waitlist and walked around the area for the 45 minute wait. We started to head back when there were 5 minutes left to be seated and when we got back to the restaurant, the waiting time was updated to an additional 25 minutes.The service was friendly, but the food was just okay, nothing impressive. I’ll likely be by again to try the pies.

Since reading all the good reviews I decided to visit this place. The establishment is really cute. The service is good as well. The food on the other hand was lacking. The pancake was the only thing I thought tasted good. 😔
