Montague Diner has been extremely busy since opening under new ownership, with BKMag reporting that even with 68 seats, a visitor was quoted an hour-long wait at lunch on one occasion. Some high-profile customers were reportedly turned away on a Tuesday night due to lack of availability, per BKMag, and weekend walk-bys almost always showed a line outside.
A limited number of dinner reservations are available through Resy, per BKMag, though walk-ins are also seated as tables open up. The diner currently runs 6am-11pm daily, with reported plans to eventually expand to 24-hour service.
