Went on Saturday evening at 7pm. Nearly packed but lots of staff on. The service was good and the server was nice and helpful.
My wife ordered Chicken fajitas. Perfect, no complaints there. I ordered the Maple Brisket smash. Did not look as appetizing as the picture. The brisket was the problem. Very little of it and at least 50% fat. It was difficult to discern between what was fat and what wasn't because it was drenched in BBQ sauce and mashed potatoes. It was about the same price as the Fajitas. Compared to the Fajitas, in quality, quantity and appearance, the Fajitas were a 10 and the Smash was a 3 or 4 at the most. If you want to include Brisket in the menu item's name, it should be the highlight of the dish, and it was not. The taste was good, but having to pick through every bite to ensure there was not a lump of fat was a real downer.

Visited the Montana’s at South Keys a couple of times with friends. This was my first Montana’s experience when I arrived in Canada in 2002, so it holds some special memories. I still remember not understanding the tipping rules back then and having an embarrassing moment at the bill — a one‑time lesson. The service here has been quite good, just like my experiences at other locations. I’ll come back again when time allows.
Update: Thank you for the quick response. I appreciate it and will stop by again in the future.
