Bad Monkey OC

We always have a great time here! We had the hell burger with jalapenos and hot sauce and the Delmar burger with crab meat. Both tasted amazing! Long list of beers and cocktails to choose from. Great service!

paid $10.50 for 9 onion rings (one was eaten prior to photo) and our server just made our group feel as though there was a major social queue we were missing. expensive food & weird service. our bill came to $96 for 3 meals and an order of onion rings. overall would spend money elsewhere.

I read some of the reviews and I can't say that they are wrong. I can see how on one hand you love this place and on the other it's a complete mess. We came here for lunch for the first time and it was definitely a rough start. We arrived to find a note on the hostess stand that said breakfast ended and lunch would be served. This was at 11:45am. We sat there waiting for an actual person to seat us then interrupted a person walking by who looked like they worked their and asked if there was a hostess. He said we can sit wherever we want, no problem. Not a great start.

We sat outside at a "clean" table and a woman helped move another smaller table away from our table. She mentioned that breakfast had just ended and food would take 15 minutes or more but we could order drinks. Again very confusing, but we were okay with that.

The waitress we got was very friendly. She took our drink order and came back promptly to explain some menu items. I even asked her what her recommendation was. She started off by saying everything was good but then said the burgers were really good. We ordered an appetizer of fries along with a mix of burgers and chicken dishes.

Within minutes the appetizer of fries came out and the other reviews are not exaggerating they are huge. Lots and lots of shoestring fries. They were very tasty. Were were 2/3 through the fries and the main meals came out. Everything looked as it should. I again couldn't believe the amount of fries on the orders that subbed fries. The chips appeared to be home made but are massed produced. They are tasty but presented in such a way to assume being homemade.

Everyone was happy with their meals. No one really finished their meals but not enough left to warrant taking home.

I will say for a Tuesday at noon the place was pretty devoid of people outside. There were more people inside but not much more than outside the way it looked.

The meal was definitely more expensive than we were expecting since dinners had been about $20 or $30 more than what we paid for lunch. I will say the burgers were fantastic and I would definitely recommend as you can taste the quality. I don't think the place stood out too much to make us say we are coming back especially if we had to wait for food I would just go to another restaurant.
