    I was there with my family on Tuesday August 11 between 5 and 7 pm. So the food was good, my nephew had a pulled pork sandwich which he inhaled. The sirloin tips were tasty and even that weird white sauce and the minced dill pickles were good. Why was it sitting on some soggy Texas toast was never explained. The potato skins with brisket meat were really good. The wings were delicious and I'm picky about wings. The nachos were GARBAGE! Stale chips, cold, meagre toppings. They looked like nachos a mean older brother might make for a younger sibling!! Stone Cold! Did I mention how cold they were. I was with family so I didn't send them back like I wanted to. Our server was super disinterested, barely talked about the menu, skipped the specials but did mention that she has two other jobs and only works one shift a week. She said that, and my brother and Iooked at each other and were like "expect less!" Montana's isn't a terrible place to eat, but they will soon have a reputation for being one if they don't get their affairs in order. I didn't see any management working the dining room quality checking on any of the tables either. I rarely go to Montana's and will not likely return to this location.

    Haven't come to this place enough when ironically, I had my first date with my wife here. Decided to stop in for a steak by myself as a treat and ran into Mike, who used to work at Leftys! Great guy and provided great service as usual. And the food was amazing!

    I never thought I would be giving this location one star but after yesterday afternoon definitely. The restaurant wasn’t busy at all, but service was terrible. Had to ask twice for a refill of water that never came, yet we had three different servers. The lady who brought our food didn’t know what steak was med rare or well cooked. Waited and waited for our bill it never came. Had to goto front to ask for it, so she went and found the serve. Last visit was no better so we thought maybe it was a one off but definitely not. Definitely not worth $105. Won’t be retuning which is sad always enjoyed it here frequently.

    The food is great, but every time we order take-out, something is missing. After three times having different sides missing (corn bread once, pita bread with spinach dip twice) I checked to make sure everything was there before leaving. All the food was there, but I didn’t check to make sure the paid add-ons to food were there. This time was the bacon requested by a toddler for her burger, who is disappointed that the food she chose all by herself is missing.

    We went to Montana’s after shopping and it is standard fare for this type of restaurant, ie what you might find in a suburban mall with a movie theatre and big box retailers. But we did have fantastic service from Tara. She checked on us soon after our food arrived, and she immediately rectified a problem with the order. She did it efficiently and with a smile. She was lovely to deal with!
