Very impressed with special offer by CAA at Orillia Montana on Thursday. It was great tasting & surprisingly filling. It was a free sampler of ribs, fries, little corn bread & small coleslaw. Yes, the restaurant was crowded with the special on but servers were polite, friendly & prompt & I congratulate the manager for being prepared. Thanks. Shelly

Our visit to Montana’s BBQ & Bar was elevated significantly by the service provided by Bree.
Bree operated with clear professionalism and situational awareness. She managed the table efficiently, maintained consistent check-ins without interrupting the flow of the meal, and handled requests with speed and accuracy. Her communication was clear and confident, which immediately set expectations and ensured a smooth dining experience from start to finish.
What differentiated her service was execution. Orders were accurate, timing was well-controlled, and issues were addressed proactively rather than reactively. Bree demonstrated strong customer focus while maintaining control of her section, which speaks to both experience and discipline.
This level of service reflects positively on the Orillia location. Bree represents the brand well and delivers the type of guest experience that builds loyalty. Management should view her as a high-performing team member. I would not hesitate to return and request her service again

I had an excellent dining experience at Montana’s BBQ & Bar, largely due to the outstanding service provided by our server, Bree.
From the outset, Bree demonstrated a strong command of her role. She was professional, attentive, and highly efficient without ever feeling rushed or disengaged. She communicated clearly, anticipated our needs, and maintained consistent follow-through throughout the entire visit. Her product knowledge was strong, her recommendations were well-informed, and her timing was spot-on.
What stood out most was her attitude. Bree brought a positive, approachable energy to the table while maintaining a polished and professional presence. She balanced friendliness with efficiency, creating an experience that felt both welcoming and well-managed. It is clear she takes pride in her work and understands the importance of guest experience.
Service like this drives repeat business. Bree is a clear asset to the Orillia Montana’s team and sets a high standard for customer service. I would gladly request her section again and would confidently recommend this location based on her performance alone.

I have to admit that service was beyond spectacular. My server JANET was simply spectacular. Very attentive and quick to make sure that the meal arrived hot. I'll definitely go back again to try something different. JANET was extremely polite and helpful in answering any questions. Two thumbs up and a perfect 10.
