Our server Ashley R was absolutely lovely. Super sweet and very efficient. We waited not even ten minutes for our ribs to come out, and it was super fresh and fall-off-the-bone. We’ve been here a bunch of times and the service and food has never been subpar. Very impressed!!

First time here in a long time, ( 130th location ) my sister, brother, mom and I asked for Medium rare 10oz sirloin steak.
Steak hit the table and it was super rare. It wasn’t good. To a point where my sister and I didn’t eat it. My sister being 15 was even like this isn’t right. Im not sure it even got a minute on the grill each side.
Baked potato wasn’t great, onion rings were saggy, just warm.
Mushroom skillet was probably the best part of dinner.
Zoe was our server she was fine.
The tables have a leather mat over them with the paper ?? Not to sure what that’s for. Anyway I looked under the leather mat on the table and it was dirty didn’t look like it had been cleaned in a while.
The bill.. for steak not cooked to customer satisfaction, kind of warm food, dirty table under the leather mat, okay service. It was $284…… it’s too much. It’s not worth the money. The keg, Wellingtons or honestly any other bbq or steak house will have my business, I will
not be returning, or recommending Montanas to anyone, and will tell people to go somewhere else,
For $284 I could have bought AAA steak potato’s and salad. And it at least would have been cooked properly. For $284 the bare minimum I would expect is steak cooked to request.
The picture below is supposed to be medium rare, the middle didn’t even feel the heat. I’m going as far to say I want my money back.

Always seems busy here, still able to get a table within a reasonable amount of time. As with a lot of restaurants though, it seems understaffed. What staff are there are certainly hustling, can't say that about the kitchen though. At least the food is usually good when it does arrive.

Delivery Options ! YAY !
WE CAN NOW DENY HELPING CERTAIN RESTAURANTS THAT ONLY CARE ABOUT THE CLIENTS IN STORE
Montana 130th.
You were easily my first choice !!!!
Yes !!!
Easily the worst group of girls management could of hired and promoted. I dont know what's worse the consistant lack of service and respect or watching the girl with pink hair run around with her head chopped up, bickering and stressing the rest of the staff around her.
Instead of always telling the delivery guys it'll be a few minutes. Some of us have worked at a kitchen or restaurant and its not hard to get an actual time the order will be complete.
Poor lack of organization.
How can a place be so dead and have a line up of delivery drivers.
Maybe help them like a normal customer.
In order? With proper communication instead of the run around.
But they continue to service the last driver that arrives vs the first one. They lack communication.
Honestly if they dont care about orders or the customers paying for them, why should the delivery people?
Every time I see a Montana 130th order.
Ill be 10-15 minutes away.
Ill click arrive at store.
Cause waiting time has been a minimum of 20-30 minutes for the past 6 months since May.
Thankfully we can deny orders after 15 minutes.
The second I get close enough to the buisness.
Ill cancel the order and wait for the next dumb driver to deal with them.
Its never worth the wait or hassle helping a buisness that doesn't want to improve or care about their customers. Just the one they spent.
