When you name your restaurant after Trappist monks who've spent centuries perfecting their craft, you're serious about your beer. That's why we hired a master to craft our house brews and why our beer list spans the globe. With everything from refreshing pilsners that match the lightness of our thin-crust pizza to dark, rich ales that stand up to our decadent burgers, you're certain to find a new favorite at The Lucky Monk. We're sure that our Prime beef burgers — served with hand-cut fries — will be the juiciest you've ever had. Our other house specialty is pizza. It is crisp and generously topped with fresh ingredients. And we round out our menu with vibrant, flavorful salads; a handful of classic, satisfying American entrées; and some sweet surprises.

    This place is great. A bit overwhelmed service wise when we arrived, but still a great time. Lunch menu has a few $15 options that are all good: beet salad and flat breads. Hope to be back soon.

    Gumrai Thai in Arlington Heights was such a pleasant surprise. I am not usually the biggest fan of Thai food, but everything here was delicious and I would definitely come back. We ordered the Pad Kee Mao, Basil Fried Rice, Panang Curry, and Thai Iced Tea. Every dish was super flavorful and fresh. We asked for everything spicy and it actually had a real kick which I loved. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive and they checked on us multiple times to make sure we were enjoying everything. The service made the experience even better and the food came out hot and fast. The restaurant is clean and comfortable and it has a cozy neighborhood feel. Prices were reasonable and the portions were great. I highly recommend trying this spot if you are in the area or if you love Thai food or spicy food.
