Bon Ton L'Roy's Lighthouse Smokehouse - Monterey, California

Saturday night is a great time for dinner and music! Frida, an up and coming local singer, filled the restaurant with her songs: originals, covers, Spanish ballads, and yodeling! From 6-8, she performs and it was so beautiful!! The menu is also delicious. From Russian to BBQ, lots of options. The beet borscht was tasty. We also enjoyed the brisket! The hot tea is brewed from organic garden herbs. Variety of bar drinks, too!

The times we’ve been there is always great. The BLTs are huge. Super thick cut bacon it was yummy, I’ve had the Rueben which was also really good. My husband always gets the borsch. He loves it!

I came for dinner to this lovely-looking quirky bbq restaurant. The waitress, Valentina welcomed me in and I was promptly seated (there was one person in the restaurant). I personally love the feel of the establishment. This restaurant definitely has a French-Cajun vibe. Valentina also told me that they have an open mic on Thursdays. This is an adult establishment with a full bar. I didn’t see any high chairs for the kiddos and did not check the restroom.

As for the food itself, I got the brisket, bbq chicken, and beans & rice. It came with cornbread. I also saw a pecan pie and had that for dessert. I washed everything down with an iced tea. Yikes… the brisket & the chicken was coated in the same bbq sauce. The brisket was pretty tough, not tasting like it was smoked. For the chicken, got a drum and a thigh. Both pieces tasted like they were brined then cooked in an oven, not a smoker. They weren’t cooked all the way through unfortunately. The beans & rice has sausage for non-pork eaters, and it was fairly bland. The iced tea was fantastic. The pecan pie wasn’t the best slice I’ve had, with the taste of nutmeg overpowering the dish and a lack of creaminess to the filling.

Price: $47 ($60 w/tip). I personally wouldn’t come back for the food, but to get drinks and for the open mic.

We ordered 2 family dinners for Labor Day at the last minute and we're wonderfully suprised! (They suggest ordering as far ahead as possible since our order was big) Wonderful ribs! Not too much fat, great flavor. I am still drooling over the thought of the potato salad! I cannot figure out what was in it that was so incredible. I would love the recipe and if I have a chance, I will buy some again, just to analyze the ingredients. Thank you ? so much for cooking for us and we hope to be back to enjoy your restaurant and hopefully hear some music!!!

Don't believe the negative reviews!! We stopped in to give it a shot and boy oh boy ? huge portions very delicious! The woman isn't rude she is a Russian woman who has a strong accent sometimes there are such things as language barriers ppl .. drop in and enjoy definitely try the red beans & rice the stroganoff the jambalaya! We ordered the 3 meat plate it was enormous!! Best smoked bbq I've had !!

We came in only knowing that we could bring our dogs to the patio, but nothing else. Everything we ordered was fantastic, in particular, the red beans and rice was every bit as good as the best I have ever eaten in Louisiana. The service was excellent, the ambience was also very nice. We will absolutely be coming back our next time we come to town.

Заехали поесть борща, не ожидая что это будет что-то из особенного. Хотелось чего-то горячего и привычного. И что я вам напишу. Если вы захотите борща, то смело приходите, приезжайте сюда. Кружка борща в холодную погоду - это прям ммм, как вкусно.
Ещё мы заказали мясо. К нему тоже нет претензий, так как оно было съедено полностью.
А ещё здесь подают чай с ароматным лимоном, с личного сада хозяйки.
Лимон мы тоже съели с огромным удовольствием.
