We came into the restaurant with a time limit. We spoke with Shimon who greeted us. He assured us he could get us our food in the time frame we had. Shimon delivered! We had hot great food and he made sure we were happy with the food. We use to frequent the restaurant regularly and at one time the service was a failure. But our recent experience with Shimon will make us repeat customers. Great service Shimon!

Shout out to Jazz, Mio, Joe & the staff at Montana's Fort St John. We placed a large team order to have ready to take with us on a long bus ride home. Communication was excellent, orders were hot and ready when we arrived and utensils/condiments were included with each labeled meal. If you are looking to have a large group order these managers will take care of you. We'll be back next month on our next road trip. Thank you Jazz!!
