The Monument Café

The Monument Café is a locally owned and operated restaurant designed to be reminiscent of the Texas roadside cafes of the 1920's to the 1940's. We serve only fresh meats, vegetables and desserts. Everything we serve is cooked and prepared in the restaurant by our employees. We buy as many of our vegetables as possible from local farmers as well as raise several vegetables and spices in our own garden. Our meats are free of hormones, antibiotics, steroids, and animal byproducts. We serve Horizon and Organic Valley dairy products as well as free-range yard eggs. We want you to have a great meal, friendly and professional service, and to leave the restaurant feeling that you received value for your money and wanting to return.

This place did a great job giving the atmosphere of an old diner . Chicken fried steak is awesome. Not a far walk from the downtown shops and the blue hole park .

Helen Bosco

Everything about this place is good. Love that their foods are fresh, local, organic , and most of all delicious. The biscuits and fresh squeezed orange juice are the best! The coffee is excellent too.

This cafe is the worst-kept secret in Georgetown. Near downtown Georgetown, it is always humming. Enjoy the biscuits they bring out, and try the liver-and-onions or turkey sandwich .

Kelli Widmer

Little pricey but doable. Pancakes are good. King ranch casserole was amazing. If it is your first visit you get a free piece of pie . We'd do it again. Service is a little slow. Monument pie AMAZING!

Great right next to the blue hole so go eat then swim at the blue hole . I also love their own store and how they grow a lot of the food there

Kristi Kennedy

Great spot for breakfast and lunch . The service is good and the wait staff are nice. Can be a little expensive , but it’s worth every penny.

This is the best diner I've been to! Fantastic array of fresh and healthy choices , but also wholesome entrees to spoil yourself with...

Chili Cheeseburger is totally awesome! We have eaten here several times. And our waitress was an angel, she has wings to prove it!

M. Scott

Nice 1950s style diner . Good pancakes and avocado toast

Vicki Holt

This place is absolutely the most awesome place to eat. Everything was homemade down to the pie . Our server was a sweetheart and kept us constantly in tea and coffee .

Amanda Gagnon

I love this place but I feel like my food is always forgotten and I have to ask multiple times for it. Other than that, I love this place.

Brian P

House made, fresh squeezed Lemonade was worth the $5.

Cary Michael Cox

Cinnamon Roll is home-made and outstanding! Cary Michael Cox

Park Silk

They’ve got just four single-use restrooms for the entire restaurant . It’s not very efficient for a restaurant this size, and can cause long lines .

The Daytripper

Just blocks away from the square are the legendary Monument Cafe for homecooking and El Monumento for delectable interior Mexican.

Adam Langley

Ooo! hostess said you get a free dessert if it's your first time here!

M B

Spacious and lively but not loud . Good home cooking .

DarkSkin 🌺 Queen

The pancakes are huge, and the juice is freshly squeezed.

Cassie Anderson

They are knowledgable about gluten and have options including gluten free buns ! Ask for Donna, she's a sweetheart.

Lysa Saavedra

They have amazing pancakes -the best! Also, they have an awesome chocolate shake .

Martha L de G

Excellent breakfast made with fresh produce . Delicious!

Michael

Anything art deco is my favorite. The food is good, too!

CraveThis

Worth the drive for chicken & dumplings , homemade meatloaf & crunchy-fried catfish w/ hearty sides of seasonal, locally grown vegetables . They source the ingredients from nearby farmers - go local!! Read more

Tim Falls

Lotsa gluten free options . Even onion rings and fried chicken . Just ask!

Matthew J

Try the Strawberry Lemonade it is the best I have ever had.

Jeane Dodson

Biscuits n gravy ... They know how it's done!

Todd Colitti

Chicken fried chicken was great...A must try dish

Michelle Hermark

Important to note: The "Veggie Fries " are dredged in rice flour , so if you're on a low or slow carb diet... These are probably not for you. (They're really good though.)

Gene Toepfer

Great selection of Texas micro brews too!

Nicole Silliman

Ask for bryana or valerie they will take real good care of you! And you have to try the deserets!

Alex M.

Food never disappoints. A classic diner restaurant without much of the "greasy-spoon" feel.

Jodee Whitten

Biscuits , Mac & cheese , sandwiches and salads .

Brian Carr

A little disappointed they couldn't get eggs over easy right. Also did not bring me the OJ I ordered with my breakfast . When paying 10 bucks for 2 eggs you would hope it was done right.
