- MPMelinda PatenaudeNov 14, 20255.0We went for a special meal to celebrate my aunt visiting from outta town. Our server Bridget was phenomenal, so personable and helpful. The grandkids loved all the taxidermy and decor. The baked spinach dip was hot & delish; the Antojitos are an all time fave. Steak and fries were excellent, done to perfection.
- PAPam AndersonNov 13, 20254.0Fun place to go with the family. You can draw on the table together and try to write your name upside down like the server does. Service was very prompt and the food was fast. Good portions and the ribs are definitely the top food item to have.
- CMChandler MackenzieNov 8, 20255.0I had a wonderful experience thanks to our waitress, Maggie. She went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. She was attentive without being overbearing, always checking in at just the right time, and made sure our glasses were never empty. Her friendly attitude and great service really made the whole experience enjoyable. Maggie truly made us feel taken care of — I’d definitely come back just to be served by her again!
- CVCooper VaillancourtNov 1, 20255.0thanks to Chef Rocky at Montana’s BBQ. The dish was perfectly cooked — tender, buttery, and full of flavor — and you could tell it was made with real care and passion. Chef Rocky went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, and it honestly felt like a fine dining experience right inside Montana’s. The service was friendly, the atmosphere was great, and the food was next-level. Huge shoutout to Chef Rocky for making this one of the most memorable meals I’ve had in a long time. Highly recommend!
- HDHannah DOct 26, 20251.0I am not one to leave a review but after seeing that there has been other negative reviews in regards to the management makes me feel i have to write this as clearly the manager passive aggressive towards employees and can even straight be condescending towards CUSTOMERS! Paying customers who keep your restaurant open. Honestly when coming in for a food pickup i realized that food was missing and came and complained as i paid for food that was not there. Long story short i asked for the manager as i knew this was out of the hostess hands. I believe her name was Rachel and she came out polite but the employee looked uneasy when she arrived; as her behaviour switch from being sweet and kind to cold and shut down from that women’s presence. Rachel finally compensated for my missing food and i was done, but her attitude and customer service needs to be addressed. As someone who has employees this is NOT how you address employees or even customers. She needs to be retrained or something because clearly there is a lack of training done for Rachel to be a professional manager or just a decent individual towards others. And not be stuck up and passive aggressive, i will NEVER come back to Montanas as i dont think a business should receive my buisness if this is the type of people they are employing. Do better Montanas.
