Mona´s - American Style Breakfast — Restaurant in Frankfurt

I was excited to find an American style diner here. We didn’t have a reservation and the staff was very friendly and seated us despite not having a reservation. I do appreciate that.

The place itself is charmingly cooky and cute, set in a former trattoria, with walls painted in coral and turquoise, good music playing and the staff speaking English. I really wanted to like this place, alas there were some issues with service and food that won’t have us coming back or recommend it.

Besides the blond woman with the glasses, the staff was very slow, didn’t seem present and either forgot us or then came right after one another and asked the same questions. It wasn’t clear which waiter was responsible for whom, sometimes the bartender became a waiter and it just seemed a bit chaotic. Tried getting the attention of the staff and either no one even noticed or they all reacted at the same time.

We each ordered a drink and the diner plate, it took a while for the food to arrive eventhough it wasn’t that busy. The drinks came well after the food which we didn’t like. I think most people would want their drinks, especially coffee, before the breakfast or at least at the same time. The Chocolate Chip Mocha was nice. The food was lackluster, in its presentation and sadly taste as well. The food wasn’t seasoned and some of it was a bit burned. The food was luke warm. Hasbrowns beige, scrambled eggs beige, 2 slices of bacon and two tiny burned sausages. There was an attempt made at the decoration with two small grapes and a very thin slice of orange that tasted like it was well behind its best days. The pancake was tasty, alas also just lukewarm, and it would have been nice to have a few blueberries or slices of strawberries on it. The Bloody Mary I got didn’t taste like much, no spice, no decorations aside of one sad looking, old, bent over piece of celery. I asked if there was anything else but tomato juice in the Bloody Mary and when the server brought it back they just topped it off with vodka. It was probably the least tasty Bloody Mary I’ve ever had. Really disappointed by the whole meal and service, it felt lackluster and was missing love. I don’t go out to eat often so when something like this happens it’s especially disappointing. If you’re mostly into the vibe of a place and aren’t into food that much then it’s fine but it’s not a great dining experience. I hope they can figure out how to improve the quality of food and service in order to really create...

We were excited to see that there was an American style breakfast here in Germany. I lived here in Germany for 14 and this was my return back to Germany in 9 years so you know I was excited.

I think it’s a great concept you have here but it was a poor execution. My bacon was burnt, the cook must’ve forgotten it on the grill because one side was black while the other size of the bacon was undercooked. My wife on the other hand ask to substitute the turkey bacon for regular bacon with her eggs benny and that was also so so so uncooked. Pancakes were delicious, waffles were dry.

I also asked for a avocado with my meal and man, is was not ripe at all. It was so hard that I couldn’t cut through it with the knife. Drinks were also subpar, when I saw the menu and it said Mimosa freshly squeezed orange juice and maracuja (passion fruit), I thought that would be the bomb but instead it turned out to be a dud. My wife’s spicy Bloody Mary turned out to be pure tomato juice no vodka to it at all (but it did say vodka).

Over all I am giving this place a high rating for the potential it has, service was great, very friendly, I love the oldies music that was playing throughout this cozy underground space, it could use a little more lighting but in all I loved...

I categorically do not recommend this place..95℅ breakfast/brunch restaurants in Frankfurt are better than this place..chances are very slim,that they don't messup your experience.Average food,very poorly managed,takes ages to get your food.We arrived earlier than lots of tables,but got our food after them. I feel bad for the staffs.I heard from one of the waitress that they are underpaid as well.I've had a terrible experience with the owner/manager lady with her devilish attitude,who just came to us without appreciating our concern regarding our food taking a long long time to come,and just said ,"Enjoy the music and relax."with her fake pretentious smile.It was an absolute diabolical shambles! There was this italian middle aged guy,(probably the owner) shouting at his staffs all the time..very annoying.He ruined...
