“ Go here after work when working near Clearfield Curwensville. Definitely have some really good food. ”
“ There was no way I was driving by the Toasted Monkey without stopping! Anything with a monkey in its name has to be good. Prompt service. Smoke free. Three flat screens. Clean. The Toasted Monkey has a very good balance between"tavern" and" restaurant" which is, in many cases, missed in a huge way. Usually there is too much tavern and not enough restaurant. Just right here! Food was great. The gigantic"Thor Burger" was literally too big to get my jaws around. These 1/4 pound patties are the real deal, They are clearly not the frozen kind that far too many restaurants are serving today. So the bottom line is this. If you are anywhere in this area, stop looking for some place to eat and get over to the Toasted Monkey. ”
“ Ordered lunch here and they gave me my fries for free just because they were a little dark not that I was complaining the service was great. My burger was delicious, the fries were good and I also had a side of boneless wings I recommend the sweet chili. ”
“ First time here, wont be the last. We were there early so not to busy. They had my favorite fried banana pepper rings, hard to find. Atmosphere was fun ”
“ Amazing atmosphere and even better burgers! They had no wait on a Saturday night where other restaurants had a 40-60 minute wait. Serving staff is friendly and helpful without being annoying, and got us everything we wanted promptly. ”
“ Stopped in on our roadtrip from Mid Missouri to New York! Funky little joint with great food. I love when restaurants offer quirky menu items you can’t get everywhere and this place didn’t disappoint! I tried their “So Jelly” burger, it has cream cheese and hot pepper jelly on it. And it was absolutely delicious ”
“ Stopped here for dinner and had a good time. Sat at the bar and the service was excellent. The place had all sorts of monkeys including a photo opp area with some monkeys. I wasn't terribly hungry but got the pretzels and beer cheese while my boyfriend and our friends all got burgers. The food was good and when I went to the restroom I got a kick out of this condom dispenser. ”
“ We had a great time at the toasted monkey. The staff were very pleasant and the food was great. It was also not super loud, and a perfect little spot to have dinner with our kids! ”
