Monty's Burger Bar in Cherwell

An outstanding restaurant! As a coeliac, I felt completely safe eating here, and the food was absolutely delicious. They have gluten-free buns, a dedicated fryer, and staff who are exceptionally knowledgeable about allergens. The attention to detail and care made this a truly fantastic experience. I can’t recommend this restaurant highly enough—thank you for making dining out so enjoyable!

Very impressed with the food and the service. Monty's is a great place to visit to grab a bite to eat. The short rib burger was incredible. We will be returning 100% to try some of the other items on the menu.

First visit. Great breakfast and coffee, and very friendly service

Great meal as always. Made my daughters 9th birthday special, and even restaurant all sang too.

Amazing food been there twice both times the food was excellent 👌

I went for a meal here on new years with my family we walked in about 8:30 last minute and they welcomed us in food was lovely and wasn’t waiting any more than 15 minutes at most not even that, decor and service was 10/10 don’t leave reviews often but was honestly so impressed definitely a place to go for a date or a special occasion!

Avoid! After waiting half an hour four our mains, we was told they had ran out of lamb for the burgers (lol!). And reading all the reviews seems like they threaten anyone who leaves a negative review. No effort was made to correct this experience, instead they even had the cheek to charge for service. The waiter didn’t even offer anything on the house or to take anything of the bill to compensate for their F up. Instead they seemed like they found it funny. Just avoid

Great little place in Bicester making a welcome change from the usual chains and offering a selection of quality burger variations - recommended ahead of other options.

Excellent burger and great service, a perfect spot for dinner in Bicester. Dessert is also fantastic (especially the salted caramel brownie!)

Delicious burgers, excellent chips, AND gluten free options. The gluten free bun was good. They were careful with their food handling and have a dedicated fryer for gf chips (fries). The service is great. I like the decor—definitely feels like a fun place to hang with friends over comfort food. The owners/managers immediately addressed the one problem we had with our dessert. I like the fig and pistachio cake(gf). It’s nice to have a gf option other than a brownie. I suggest sitting upstairs or outside when they are busy. Downstairs can be a bit smoky from all of the great cooking.

Lovely staff and breakfast was fabulous!!

Delicious burgers, welcoming staff and cosy atmosphere.

Monty's is lovely! It is so much more than just burgers. The portions are huge, the menu is varied and delicious. The ribs are a MUST try.

Lovely food and great burgers! Very much enjoyed the experience! Great price as well

Great food. The staff are very pleasant and friendly. Highly recommend this place. Great value.

I absolutely love Monty's & their attention to detail has been thought through at every point from the restaurant setting, the atmosphere, the design, the menu, the takeaway service with its neat packaging fitting perfectly into the bag with vented boxes, everything has been thought through from start to finish leaving it nothing short of perfection. Their food is top notch & you won't find a nicer burger nicer 40 mile radius of Bicester, this is THE place to go, the takeaway service is incredibly quick. It's not hit the level of Beefy Boys, "yet" hence the 4 stars as the Pastrami burger was overpriced for what it was compared to theirs. We've had many takeaways from here & is our go to burger place in Bicester, absolutely delicious, the family love it, thank you for being so welcoming & creating perfection on many levels.

I've visited several times over the years, but today truly sealed the deal. Despite it being a busy Sunday and a last-minute booking, they welcomed us with open arms, delivered truly incredible service, and the food.... It's just bends the laws of culinary physics. Me and my wife love it, my family loves it, and even our friends (yes, including the vegans) love it! Stop reading this review, and just go. You won’t regret it.

Tasty meals, great service, friendls smiley staff.

Best burgers we have had. Homemade tasty burgers and chips. Good vegetarian options too. Thanks

My favourite place to eat in Bicester. The burgers are great every time. But the brunch menu can’t be missed which is also amazing.

Large order for takeaway, with a small wait as restaurant was very busy, was offered refreshments as I was waiting. Burgers and Mac and cheese was absolutely amazing. Will be back again..

Great burger place! I had a pastrami burger and it was excellent. The baked Camembert with sourdough is also very good!

At the risk of making it more crowded for myself here - I am normally the last one to suggest burgers when eating out, but this place is the exception. For me, Monty’s is currently the #1 burger restaurant in Oxfordshire and I could not recommend it higher!

The restaurant is very delicious and the service is nice, especially the employee Elena. Thank you.

We went here for a meal recently and had a nice time. The staff who served us was super friendly and very welcoming. We ate burgers, cheese macaroni, bbq ribs and desserts. We didn't find the burgers anything special, however tasty and filling. Our favourite pick was the chocolatey/hazelnut pancakes. Those were exceptionally tasty. The interior atmosphere is quite cozy and spotlessly clean. Thank you 🙏

Breakfast was fantastic but slightly tainted by a £2 charge for melted cheddar on the sourdough... the melted cheese was practically an invisible film of liquid on the bread ...not my idea of what melted cheddar should look like.

Great burgers, great service. Not just your run of the mill burgers. Tuna steak burger was excellent as were the other five our group had. Spot on.

Really tasty food, very family-friendly, and a nice vibrant atmosphere. The short rib burger is well designed, juicy and big and the ribs are very easy to take apart. The chicken burger is juicy and delicious. Definitely would recommend and will go back every time!

Always Come Here While Shooping In Bicester.

Went today (16/11/24) for the first time. The food was amazing - I had the classic burger and my partner, the Tuna Steak. My burger was cooked to perfect, melting in the mouth! The fries were great also! The staff were super friendly and attentive, with the only let down being the toilet upstairs - unisex, poorly lit and dirty. Otherwise, it was a wonderful experience and one we’ll be repeating in a couple of weeks.

I have been here a few times now and I have always been served with THE BEST service. The food is incredible and the atmosphere is incredible. Very comforting and the staff are next level. Exactly what you should expect when going out for dinner. Menu is beautifully presented and easy to follow. I could not recommend this place more! You simply have to experience it ☺️

Really goods and the Staff members were great

Called in on the iff chance they had a table, they struggled but found us space, we loved the meal so much, we booked in again for later in the week we were there, staff were great, food was exceptional, reasonable priced, 2 meals, 2 rounds of drinks, 2 pastries, £60. We thought that was money well spent

Visited over the weekend with friends. No booking but they found us a comfy spot for drinks and then moved to a table when one became available. Got the feeling that nothing was too much trouble and the serving staff were all working well together to make sure nothing was missed and we had the best experience. Food was exceptional, I don’t think I’ve enjoyed a burger as much as this. Highly recommended and would definitely revisit when back in the location.

My friends and i were looking for somewhere to eat at short notice and found this surprise gem of a restaurant with great food, service and a good amount of gluten free options

Good burger in the town with good service

First time in Monty’s last night - great service, food and fabulous entertainment from the Boogie Woogie Bellas 🎼

A bit busy, but really great option to go for

An impromptu visit for breakfast. We both ordered the vegetarian option although we are both meat eaters. It was well cooked and presented and plenty of it. It just needed some bacon. I’d try something different next time. Coffee was good.

Phenomenal burgers, good lord. I think about them whenever I'm eating a burger at home or somewhere else, leading me to wonder why I'm there instead of at monty's.

Another great visit to Monty's. The short rib is definitely something I would recommend

Amazing!!! Incredibly tasty halloumi green salad. Mac and cheese to die for and perfect chips

Really good food at a reasonable price Staff are kind and helpful. A bit noisy sometimes as it seems a family favourite.

Fab food...fab service...a regular for for me and the better half 😀 👍🏼 👌

Had the falafel burger on sour dough. Was very tasty, and better than expected from the description. But the real star of the show are the chips. Big thick and amazing. Best chips I've had for a while. Would go back

Popped in after the cinema. The staff were very friendly & welcoming. All the burgers are freshly cooked. We had Classic and Chicken Burgers which were delicious. The fries deserve special mention as they were perfectly prepared crispy on the outside and fluffy inside. Love the atmosphere too. We will definitely go back.

Delicious breakfast, great coffee and the staff were very efficient, lovely and friendly. We were seated upstairs and my only (teeny) negative is that it was a little hard to hear at times. Will come again.

Best Burgers Ever! Great food, lovely staff, perfect night!

It's nice to go to a place where the staff genuinely care. What an outstanding service. Also, they really make my four legged friend feel welcome and she loves going to Monty's too.

Great food, plenty of it too! Truffle burger was very good! Would go there again

Absolutely banging burgers, we were a table of ten and everyone's food was delicious. Nice to eat out at reasonable prices too, £15/16 per main is great value, especially given the quality of the food.

What a breath of fresh air. We were served today by Hannah. Such great knowledge and efficiency. Drinks were organised quickly. Food delivered hot and fresh. Cosy atmosphere felt really relaxed. Just what I needed after work.

Been coming for the burgers since it’s been open and never had a bad experience. The past two times I’ve ordered a Ceasar Salad and that’s what’s really made me want to leave a review. That along with the quick seating, fast service and super friendly staff!

I recently visited Monty's Burger and had an interesting experience that I feel compelled to share. I'd rate it a solid three stars. The staff were quite friendly and attentive, contributing positively to the meal, but there were a few points that didn't quite hit the mark for me. Firstly, the burger, while it had a nice hint of pink in the middle which I usually appreciate, came across as a bit dry and crumbly, much like the texture you might expect from frozen patties. The chips, which took up three-quarters of the plate, had an internal texture reminiscent of mashed potatoes, suggesting they might not have been fresh. The overwhelming amount of chips felt a bit disproportionate. The starter featured corn chips, which were plentiful but unfortunately, there was not quite enough sauce to go around, making the dish feel a little unbalanced. On the plus side, the food tasted decent overall, and the ambiance was welcoming, driven by the cordial staff. However, considering the overall experience and the portion balance, I felt that the value for money wasn't quite there. Monty's has a lot of potentials and with some tweaks, could definitely elevate their game.

Lovely owners! Food was great fast service and good vibe

Went on a Saturday night, busy but still excellent service. Great burger, juicy middle was to die for. Lovely atmosphere too in the evening. Top quality.

Visited a few times now, never once an issue, nice staff and great food. Will continue to return. Certainly recommend

Best burgers I could find in Bicester. Amazing delicious sourdough bun. (A bit too much salt on the chips but I won’t give lower than 5* for this)

Fantastic food and ambiance, the best place in town for sure!

I recently celebrated my birthday at Monty’s Burger, and it was an amazing experience! The service was top-notch from the moment we walked in—friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. The Negroni cocktails were expertly crafted and absolutely delicious, the perfect complement to the meal. But the highlight was definitely the rib beef burger. It was cooked to perfection, juicy, and full of flavor. I couldn’t have asked for a better birthday dinner. If you’re looking for a great burger spot with fantastic drinks and excellent service, Monty’s Burger is the place to go!

Absolutely fantastic experience.a hidden gem. one of the best beef burgers in my life 😋 superb chunky and spicy chips. Friendly staff. Wish I could start the same in my town

Great food and service, showcasing genuine hospitality

I've eaten at Monty's a few times and the food is always fantastic, the staff are lovely and accommodating, I cannot recommend Monty's enough

Ordered a take away with my sister, the staff were lovely and food was brilliant. I definitely recommend the Camembert and the chicken Caesar salad!! 😁

Excellent food Very fresh. Lovely staff

Went for drinks going for food next time. Just been for food and was amazing. Definitely recommended

Best burger i tried from a while back, i stop eating burgers from long time but i couldn’t resist it, i tried the classic burger in brioche bun , it was perfect and juicy, the fries and the onion rings was perfect too , i was visiting Bicester village and found this amazing place by searching in google maps , i would go all the way to Bicester town just for this burger 😋

Fantastic litte place beautifully presented taste food.

Cozy place with a terrace, great food, fantastic staff, super accommodating.

Mandatory service charge on top of listed pricing, atrocious food was edible but not for nearly £40

Pop in to this lovely place great staff food and service The outside seating is really nice the best place for coffee ☕️

My son is quite fussy eater, but he always asked to go here. Great options of burgers, the milkshake is heaven and great coffee too.

Order a beef burger (short rib), it is very delicious and I recommend it. The meal can be served with a drink and fries for 23 pounds.

Our second order from Monty's .. this time we couldn't eat in the Restaurant.. so we ordered through UberEats. 2 x truffle burgers and 1 x lamb burger.. all upgraded to truffle fries. Totally amazing! We were all making mmmm.. noises! Really generous portions. A huge recommendation from us

Visited this place in Bicester for lunch. The venison Burger I had was excellent, and the service by the staff was even better - positive, friendly, welcoming. Worth supporting!

Great burger and Greek salad. Very friendly staff

Fantastic breakfast and staff are great as well we have been a few times in the evening but this was a first for brekkie and it was great

Wow… great food, great atmosphere, knocks the spots of the chain restaurants.. first time I have wrote a review in about 10 years, maybe the best burger I have had as well…would recommend as a 5 out 5

OMG do yourself a favour and visit this burger bar! The service is unmatched, the food is absolutely amazing – everything we tasted melted in other mouths (parmesan truffle fries anyone?)!! Best meal we have had in ages. They also do breakfast/ brunch too. Highly recommend!

Absolutely brilliant food, very friendly stuff, great cocktails. Really love the style and atmosphere as well. Have been there several times and always enjoyed it. 100% recommended for everyone - families, couples, singles...

Food is absolutely amazing. My daughters favourite spot in Bicester

Great spot in Bicester for food! The whole family enjoys going and they allow dogs downstairs! 🐾

We were visiting Bicester Village and found this little gem on google, under a 10 minute walk. Really good food and great service, everyone was super friendly.

By far one of the best burger I had. Nice atmosphere, efficient and lovely staff 😀 Well done guys:))

Good food and service, the tuna steak burger is particularly good and the hot sauce they have on the tables.

Terrible would not recooment to anyone, very dodgy managment

Hair left on top of food clear as day and was told to “just take it off” when a complaint was raised. Hostile managers, unsanitary workspace. Feel bad for the staff.

Walked in for a table of 6 which was accommodated for us by pushing two tables together, lovely atmosphere and clean restaurant. Two menus were given to each of us and all questions were answered professionally. Our server Ellie was friendly and polite, very attentive to our table and took our order when we were ready. Drinks came out first and food shortly after. Ellie took good care of us and checked in to make sure everything was as expected. Food was delicious, by far the best place to get a burger in Oxfordshire. The price is on the higher end but you do get what you pay for which is a quality meal and a big portion. The meal can be made cheaper with their deal which includes a wide range of drinks which our table got. Three of us couldn’t finish our meal and Ellie kindly double wrapped everything for us and put in separate bags based on each persons meal, very thoughtful and the remainder of my burger was still intact when I got home. Couldn’t ask for a better experience and would recommend to everyone I know.

Monty's Burger Bar is a great spot for a delicious meal. I was particularly impressed by the Lamb Burger, which transported me back to Greece with its amazing flavours. The kids menu is also quite good and reasonably priced, making it a good option for families. However, I found the overall prices a bit high for a small town, and the added service charge was a surprise. Additionally, we didn't realise there was an extra charge for BBQ sauce, which we would have skipped if we'd known. Despite these small issues, the food quality and experience were enjoyable.

A modern cafe with illustrations and lots of greenery in Bicester city centre. The breakfast baps were one of the best we’ve had including the pancakes. The bread is made in house and the available choices are sourdough and brioche.

Ellie and Indica provided excellent service!! They are so kind and welcoming :) will definitely be going there again <3

Delicious! I have the blue cheese burger with Mac n cheese instead of fries. Both were amazing. So moist and cheesy. I can't speak to the atmosphere because I ordered a delivery through Uber eats. Although, the food arrived when it said it would and was still hot 20 mins later. Really really good.

An amazing breakfast with great coffee

Had a drink at Monty's the service was excellent! Will be back there soon.

Excellent place with wonderful friendly staff and delicious food!

Great portions, great quality, great service. They made an extra cocktail by accident and gave it to us for free. All staff were in sync in providing a perfect experience. Would defiantly go again!

A serious good burger joint with a great atmosphere and excellent staff.The truffle burger is one of the best burgers I've ever eaten..

We ordered the food to go. I had a tuna burger and a caramel milkshake. The burger came with a sizeable tuna steak and the milkshake was a serious milkshake. It took me most of the afternoon to finish it. Be prepared for a huge sugar rush :)
