Great locally owned, small chain of sub shops. All are made to order right in front of you (Subway Style). The subs are pretty good and I love the soups and cookies as well.
They have subs served cold or toasted but the ovens are a bit out of date. The subs are never hot all the way through more simply toasted on the outside. The subs can be a bit bland so have them add seasoning or dressing. Still, these subs are really good :-)Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Fannie S.Pensacola, FL301856116Feb 22, 2008

First time here. I had the loaded baked potato soup which was really good! Also had the gobbler with everything toasted. It was bigger than expected but enjoyed the whole meal. Great service on top of that! Will definitely go back again. :)

Oh Monty's how i love thee. Let me count the ways:
1. Best sub EVER=Cheesehead with everything but onions, add black olives please.
2. I love your delicious, soft french bread that is baked fresh daily....mmmmm.
3. "Everything" means lettuce, tomato, onions, italian seasoning, oil, mayo-what a great combo-minus the onions for me.
4. Your cheese soup is a wonderful addition to my cheesy, cheesy sandwich.
5. Your meat sandwiches are pilled high with delicious, fresh deli meat.
6. In high school you were our go to hang out, we managed to get away with a lot (my good friend worked here) and we were always welcome back.
7. I still insist on a trip to Monty's each time I am home. Yum.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - J C.Chatham, IL942Jul 23, 2019
Got the club with everything on the sweet bread amd it was one of the best subs I have ever had. I just found my new favorite spot to eat. Only thing I didnt like was the booths they had for seats as im a bigger guy I couldnt fit so had to eat outside. Was a nice day in the shade though. Still, the subs are worth it.

Let me preface by saying that we drove to three restaurants at 2:30 on a Saturday before we came here....everyplace was closed for the day.
So, finding this place is a little bit of a challenge, because half of the sign is broken off...look for "Monty" with a yellow background.
There was ONE guy working, and he was busy. The entire time we were there, he was preparing food. He was pleasant, although really sniffly, which made me watch him a lot. He wore gloves and was sanitary.
The location- it was sorta dirty. Ok, not sorta- just was. The floor hasn't seen a good scrubbing in a long time. I am not going to ding them for all of the tables having stuff on them; it was busy and he was alone. The food prep area looked fine enough.
The food- I had a gobbler. The bread was really good. They use iceberg lettuce, which has no flavor and no nutritional value, but it was ok. The onion was mild. I got the dressing on the side, and my husband and I both agreed that it was fantastic. I really liked it a lot.
The sandwich was huge, so that in itself was PLENTY...no chips or soup needed. Would I go back, when in Springfield, absolutely! But, I will make sure that I am not there during the heat of the lunch hour- I am betting it's packed and takes a bit.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Sara W.Mt.

Wasn't overly impressed at all.
The veggie sandwich was very different but was enjoyable. It was like having a salad in between two pieces of warm wheat bread! That was yummy. A great variety of veggies.
The turkey, well I am not a huge mayo fan so that kind of explains things.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jamie M.Bloomington, IL21331Feb 7, 2010
Popped in for a late lunch based on Yelp reviews. Only 1 guy working but he was very pleasant. The shop is certainly not much to look at but I know that means nothing about the food, and that is certainly true of Monty's.
My Cuban on the grill press was good- you can tell they use good quality ingredients. Kelly's Gobbler sandwich was excellent - again good quality ingredients but both of us agreed it was the house Italian dressing on it the really made the sandwich. You can really taste the garlic in the Italian- yum!
We are definately looking forward to going back again next time we are in Springfield.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Olive B.Springfield, IL213285Oct 2, 2011
Monty's is a decent sammich. Used to be the only game in town so where we went for lunch when running errands on the weekends.
Always busy so be prepared to stand in line, esp on a weekday. Good sandwiches, great bread (we like wheat), haven't tried anything else. Hubs likes the Hamlet, I like the Italiano.
Have to say we have not been here in a few years so not sure what things are like now but the staff were always nice and helpful.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Marty B.Gainesville, FL0501214Jul 16, 2014
Best overall subs in Springfield!!
Awesome bread, great sandwiches and good soups.
My favorite is the Tom Turkey. It's turkey salad with cheese and all of the fixings.
Every sub I've ever had here is above average to awesome.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
