Stopped in this past weekend, it was busy and they looked to be short staffed but Jaz who we thought at first was the manager because of how quick she stepped in to help out with the situation, she proceeded to facilitate getting 15 of us in for lunch with no reservation, she then continued to serve us the entire time despite already being busy. Experience was incredible, food was great, hot and quick. We met the manager who kindly delivered our food to us and introduced himself, chatted to us which was nice. Host was kind, young but you could tell he was hard working.
Very glad that we chose to try our luck and come in, you made our day Jaz and it’s good when you can tell people love their jobs and go above and beyond to make sure the experience matches.
Next time we are in town for a tournament we will plan a reservation with Jaz, who gave us her card with the number and we can’t wait.
The team ate, spinach dips, tacos, fajitas, burgers, ribs, it was all awesome.
Thanks Montanas Stratford

Came in for lunch today and Jaz was awesome. She was fully attentive even though it was quite busy, she was amazing with both of my children which is a big deal when it comes to meals out. Staff like this are important, thank you Jaz.
We had lobster steak meals and antijitoes for starters, everything was good.

Casual dinner with a group of eight. Server excelent. She seemed a little gruff but that was her schtick. All the food was good. I had a wrap and fries that was the size of a true burrito. Surprisingly good. Assorted food around the table, everybody happy. The place was noisy.

Ordered a bunch of food. However, we were cut off from ordering a SECOND round of drinks. First round was 3 Caesars for 3 people.
Side note, the exterior looks dystopian, and run down. Also fix your lighted sign “ontana’s”
