    We frequently come into this location and have ALWAYS had a great dine in experience..tonight we skipped it & I'm not sure who's cooking in the kitchen tonight, but the only thing that was great was the beans. & spinach dip. We ordered the rib combo for 2. EVERYTHING was extremely overcooked to the point of DRRYYYY! ribs were tough dry & burnt, the cornbread was truly unedible as it was rock solid, & the mashed potatoes were more like chunky mashed...like potato salad would be but smaller. We only waited 30mins from the time I placed order so it had nothing to do with that. Sure hope everyone who ate in enjoyed their food more than us cuz if i was in restaurant, this was the definition of send back & voided off the bill.

    Came with a group of 7 people majority was good but the beans side size was super small, there was just enough to fit on a spoon and this is just standard portion there as we all had the same amount. My steak had really good flavour and the ribs. One of the party got a burger which just had a huge chunk of fat in it and no meat which we mentioned to the waiter and they changed out for a new one. Okay experience overall.

    Food is properly cooked and promptly delivered to our table. All with the help of an amazing waitress who goes by the name Lizz. Great smile and an amazing energy made the service memorable, and a reason to return. Thank you Montana's restaurant. Made an anniversary dinner peaceful and full of flavour. The manager was even nice enough to pay for our desert on our day. Thank you lizz, cooks and staff. Two thumbs way up.

    It is very unfortunate that we had a horrible experience at this location today. We have been at this location 4 times in the last couple of months and it has always been great Great food, servers and customer service but today we went right after lunch time and the food was awful. Burgers dry, steak dry. The food had no flavour and felt like it was previously cooked and just warmed up. Unfortunately after spending over $200 for gross food we will not be returning to this location. Really disappointed.
