We usually come here once a week (sometimes twice) and each time we are remembered but, more importantly, welcomed like old friends by the entire hostess and service staff. Izzy was the perfect example of welcoming and friendly tonight on hostess duty (she is THE hostess!)
Tonight we had Ken who took over serving us and remembered that we like waters and immediately got us waters with our next round of drinks. She made sure that we had a food order in (it hadn't been taken yet) and ensured we had everything we needed.
When Ken was busy, Julia checked in to make sure we were okay so we weren't left too long without being taken care of. Hannah and Alex stopped by jusy to say hi and made sure we were okay as well.
If you want friendly, welcoming and awesome service, Montana's St Catharines is where you should go!

Came in tonight to crush wings. Sat at the table, and all of a sudden I hear "hi! My name is Kaley. How are you?" I look up and see the patron saint of wings and beer ahead of me. I order beer and some wings.
As I indulge in the gluttony of this fantastic food, the realization of my experience hits me. "Have I died?" I think to myself. "Is this heaven?"
"How's the food tasting?" The angelic voice says to me. I stutter back "it's... its great". Wing sauce dribling down my face, mouth half full of fried poultry, shirt covered in saucy finger prints.
"Is this it? Have I died and this is the great beyond?" Is all I can think.
"No! This is just Montana's"

My Boyfriend and I came here for our 4th anniversary. The food was really good, The spinach dip here is my favourite! Everything came out hot and fresh. The wings were really crispy in addition I really liked the honey chipotle sauce!
Our server Dani was very attentive and friendly! The only issue is we were charged for 2 things of 8 wings instead Of 16 which is a few dollars more. But Overall a great experience and we will definitely be back!

Had the pleasure of being served by a lovely young lady named Kaley who shared that she was a new server at Montana's. This was her first night going solo. Kaley did a fabulous job. Answered all our questions and if she didn't know the answer, she admitted it and got the answer. She was very attentive, checked in on us on a regular basis and smiled. One would never know she was new! Food was great! Service was great! Will definitely return to this location!

Came here last night with my team for a group dinner before our tournament. Montana’s is always a great location to go to for classic BBQ/Grill meals with big groups. We made a reservation and the staff were easily able to accommodate our group of ~25.
I ordered the mac and cheese and it was delicious! I normally find the mac and cheese at places like these to be a runny mess, but the mac here was great! The blend of cheeses they chose made it creamy at a nice consistency with an awesome cheese pull. The cornbread that it came with was dry, so I only had a few bites of that. They also gave us samples of their new brisket bites, which were pretty dry as well.
The service was great overall and our server was really nice. The atmosphere was also pretty good as we got to watch the Jay’s game at the World Series in the background. Overall had a great time and would definitely recommend!
