Marc is an exceptional server. He replaced our dull crayons with sharp crayons and also gave us a full rundown of the menu, leaving us with no questions to be asked. Our spinach dip was extra flavourful, the fried pita is a must. Highly recommend

This is a very common, middle-of-the-road dining spot that gets the job done if you need a quick bite. The food was OK and tasted good for hungry man, though nothing on the plate stood out as special or memorable.
Service was polite and fast, but the staff seemed a bit busy and kept interactions short. The atmosphere is a bit dirty and rush, yet it feels a bit plain and lacks a cozy vibe.
Overall, it is an okay place for a simple meal, but I probably would not go out of my way to return.

Good spot to get a quick bite to eat. Burger was lacking flavours but overall enjoy the atmosphere and my 13 year old enjoyed his big trio.

We had a table for 12 friday August 14th. The service was great im not writing about that, staff was friendly. I ordered a combo that came with ribs/brisket/chicken, and my son ordered chicken tenders (same chicken that comes with my combo). Mine came out first and ate my chicken by the time my sons came out, when my wife ripped his chicken open to cool she yelled over at me to look and it was almost completely raw. I have now been in and out of urgent care at the hospital twice with severe food poisoning. Thankfully my child did not have to experience this, but we will never be stepping foot in a montanas restaurant again.

I’m not often disappointed by a Montana’s, and I’ve visited several locations over the years. The Kingston Eastern location has consistently stood out as one of the best (west, not so much), which made this visit particularly surprising.
It was a nice touch to find a live musician playing on a Thursday during the dinner hour. He was good, although the volume was a little louder than ideal for a meal.
The service was okay, and our server was certainly friendly, but the food was where the experience fell short. My 12-ounce striploin seemed noticeably smaller than the claimed weight, and the “smashed potato” was not what I expected. Rather than a properly baked, smashed potato, it arrived with a light sprinkling of what seemed like unrelated cheese accompanied by a side of disappointment. My beautiful dining companion’s chicken wings were also quite small and, unfortunately, not particularly good.
All in all, this was a rare miss for Montana’s and a far cry from my usual experiences, especially in comparison to the Kingston location. Hopefully, this was simply an off night, because I know Montana’s is capable of considerably better.
