- NFNorm Files2 days ago5.0The ribs are incredible fall off the bone and the apple butter sauce is awesome. It was a very busy night due to a CAA special but our waitress Ashley was always on top of things and provided the best service we had in a long time from anywhere . Will definitely be returning and I am sure the other wait staff are just as dedicated but we will be requesting Ashley again.
- MPMike ProsserJan 5, 20265.0Our server Jessica was absolutely fantastic. Quick when taking our order, and getting us our drinks. As well as checking up on us, that everything was good. She went above and beyond. Great service by her, would definitely recommend having her as your server. Oh, and make sure you try the burnt ends.
- TPTanya ProsserJan 2, 20265.0Food was fantastic, service was amazing. Jessica was attentive, helpful and let us enjoy our meal. I would ask for her again if given the opportunity! Thanks Jessica for the great service, and going above and beyond with the pickle slaw. You helped make Friday night date night an easy choice moving forward!
- MJMichael JosephDec 28, 20255.0Was a busy day and they were understaffed. They still kept up with no delays. Food was fabulous. Side note. Don't use steak sauce. The steak is seasoned and cooked perfectly. As for our server Spencer, fabulous. Second to none. Out going but kept it professional. Best server I've had in a very long time. This has got to be the best Montana's I've been. 10/10 This place rocks. Make sure you get this server. Nothing against the other servers, just think this young guy is a gem.
- CVC vdlDec 27, 20255.0We had the very best experience because our server was by far the best server we have ever had at any restaurant. Ryan was so sweet and so attentive. We had a couple mishaps with our appetizer and he went so far above and beyond to make sure it was corrected. The food was pretty good, but the service was exceptional! Thank you Ryan for making our day, you deserve a raise!!!
