About Starters American Eatery

Walking into Starters American Eatery at 400 Broadway in Monticello, NY feels like stepping into a spot where comfort food is celebrated with heart. The first thing most people notice is how welcoming the staff is, quickly making you feel like a regular even if it’s your first time. Families, groups of friends, and even solo diners fit right in, which explains why this location has become a staple in town. What makes it even more appealing is the balance between casual vibes and food that clearly takes thought and care to prepare.

Looking at the menu, you’ll find a wide range of choices, from juicy burgers to hearty sandwiches and classic American appetizers. A friend recommended the wings, and it’s easy to see why they come out hot, crispy, and full of flavor without being greasy. Pairing those with a side of loaded fries or onion rings turns a simple snack into a full meal. For those who prefer lighter options, there are salads and wraps that don’t sacrifice flavor. Reviews from locals often point out that portions are generous and pricing stays fair, especially considering the quality you get.

From a food industry perspective, consistency is one of the hardest things for restaurants to maintain, yet this eatery seems to manage it well. Based on customer ratings collected across different platforms, the reliability in both service and taste is one of the key reasons people keep coming back. According to the National Restaurant Association, repeat customers account for about 60–70% of sales in casual dining establishments, and Starters has clearly tapped into that trend by offering dependable quality in every visit.

Another thing worth noting is the location itself. Being right on Broadway makes it accessible for travelers passing through Monticello, while still maintaining that small-town charm that regulars appreciate. Some diners even mentioned in reviews that it feels like the kind of place where you can watch a game, share a beer, and still take the kids without worry. That mix of family-friendly and laid-back atmosphere isn’t easy to achieve, but this eatery pulls it off. And when a place can deliver on food, atmosphere, and service together, it naturally earns a strong reputation both locally and online.

What Our Customers Say

“ Great little place with amazing food! Everything tastes as good as it looks. Very welcoming atmosphere, Paulette was GREAT! Give it a try! I’ll definitely be going back soon! ”

Houseofgrafx NY

“ Vacationing from Philly. So we usually are missing city food, because philly has fantastic food! I was hesitant, because the name sounded like a regular ol' sports bar. BUT the menu was interesting and everything was perfectly made and delicious. The ambiance inside is nice and modern. The waitresses were nice and attentive. We were very happy with our experience. I hope this spot thrives because I would love to come again! The loaded baked potato, chicken sandwich and loaded tots were crowd pleasers. ”

Jess Gorczycki

“ When we walked in, we were immediately greeted by Paulette. She was great, she was bubbly, with great energy, and super friendly. We wanted something vegetarian, and even though they weren't on the menu, Paulette said they had homemade veggie burgers. Hearing that was music to our ears. Wednesdays are Burgers and Brews days, so for $15 you get a burger and a brew, that's a pretty good deal. The burger was delicious, and so were the fries. Paulette is awesome, we were chatting up with her, and she gave us a bunch of local recommendations. So helpful. We would def come back. ”

Ori Vinay

“ Great place! The food is delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. Staff and owners are super friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. Great drinks, food and people. ”

Jennifer Rodriguez

“ This place had such good food! The burger was actually cooked medium! The cheese dust on the fries is addictive! I ordered Mac and cheese at a lot of places we go and I'm usually disappointed. Not here! The side was a great portion for a meal. Friendly service. You can park in the lot before the building eventhough it says it's for another business. We'll definitely be back! ”

Ivets

“ We had such a great meal at starters tonight. The chef has such a delicious and inventive way to take the ordinary meal and make it so special! We will definitely stop back at Starters next time we are in town. ”

“ We had brilliant service and great drinks here, steak was a little over cooked for medium but everything was so good otherwise. Would happily recommend to anyone in the area. ”

Andrew Erskine

“ Kartrite doesn't have much eatery around the area but this small pub type restaurant did not disappoint. Don't let the outside of Thai restaurant fool you. Burgers were made with fresh ground beef and very tender. Fried pickle was to die for. Most likely paying less for this 10 min ride to the restaurant than having the junk food at the park. The dining area was not too big and situated a little unique. ”
