We were left for about 35minutes without service while out with our young children; it had turned into a personal game to see how long it would take. The manager noticed, interacted with the children and took ownership of the situation. Went from planning to right a bad review to giving credit where it’s due.
Thank you mam, your attention to your establishment saved my experience.

The food was good. I got all you can eat ribs. I quite enjoyed the first rack of ribs the best with the Texas bold. And the fries were awesome. I will get the steak next time, and continue to explore the menu into the future
Service was also topnotch. Absolutely astounding service. He was charismatic and friendly. He went out of his way to make sure my mom enjoyed every part of her meal, replacing the ribs she didn't like.
The Atmosphere — homely and enjoyable. The wooden decor really reminded me of country bar vibes.
I would eat here again.

Consistent and always extremely satisfied with quality of service and food. Last night was different .....the food and service was as always, excellent! As we were finishing up our steak dinner we experienced what an amazing and well trained staff they do have!! My girlfriend started to choke on a piece of her remaining steak. She could breathe and talk but not well. She got up and went to the bathroom. I immediately told our server Aly to call the manager Tom and meet me at the ladies washroom door. He immediately took charge and directed 2 of his female staff .... One to go get water....and the other to go into the bathroom to check on my partner. Once the washroom was cleared of the other guests we tried and tried to clear the blockage but to no avail. Ended up at the hospital just as the blockage cleared itself.
To GM Tom, and Aly plus numerous others who assisted......we both thank you!

We always leave completely satisfied. Great food ! Great service ! We’ve appreciated so many of the servers we’ve had . Special mention today though for Tiffany . Outstanding service and a wonderful person that shares her super positive attitude . Shout out to Austin too even though we’ve never met him . We’ve seen him in action ensuring top notch service and Montanas has risen to new excellent standards under his management . Way to go Montanas (and Tiffany and Austin) you really stand out !

Unfortunately, our experience was very disappointing. Tiffany was inattentive, unprofessional, and seemed uninterested in providing basic service. We waited far too long to be acknowledged, had to ask multiple times for simple requests, and never received the service we usally get from others there. A server can make or break a meal, and in this case it definitely took away from the experience. I wouldn’t recommend dining here if this is the new level of service to expect.
