- COCohen OberlinNov 1, 20255.0Listen. I don’t know who trained Ava, but I’m convinced she was raised by a council of barbecue angels and hospitality demigods. From the moment she approached our table, a faint aroma of mesquite and pure excellence filled the air. The lights dimmed. Somewhere, a distant banjo strummed. She didn’t just take our order — she channeled it from the universe itself. I asked for ribs, and she nodded like a sage who already knew my destiny. When she returned with the food, I swear the platter was glowing faintly, like it had been blessed by the spirit of Montana himself. At one point, she refilled my drink before I realized it was empty. How? Telepathy. Time travel. A mastery of hydration that transcends mortal understanding. When my friend dropped a fork, Ava appeared beside him mid-fall with a new one, as though she phased through dimensions to prevent cutlery despair. The dessert recommendation? Life-changing. The brownie didn’t just taste good — it repaired my faith in humanity. In summary: if Ava ever decides to open her own restaurant, I will sell my belongings and move there. This wasn’t a meal. It was a pilgrimage. 10/10. Would let Ava take my order, my soul, and maybe my Netflix password.
- CGCole GrosenickNov 1, 20255.0Listen. I came to Montana’s expecting ribs and maybe a refill of Diet Coke. What I got was a full-blown spiritual awakening led by none other than Ava — a waitress so radiant, NASA probably tracks her to study solar flare activity. When Ava approached our table, the air shifted. The fluorescent lights dimmed on their own. Somewhere in the distance, an eagle cried. She didn’t walk to our table — she glided, like a barbecue-scented angel sent to deliver us from bland customer service forever. We ordered water, and she brought us liquid diamonds chilled to precisely 33.7°F. My friend asked for extra napkins, and Ava didn’t just bring them — she folded them into origami moose. I didn’t even like cornbread before tonight, but when Ava served it, I wept openly. Halfway through dinner, I swear I heard the faint strumming of an acoustic guitar. Nobody was playing it. I think the sound was just the universe harmonizing in appreciation of her tip-earning energy. When the check came, she thanked us for coming, and honestly? I almost thanked her for allowing me to exist in the same ZIP code. If Montana’s ever renames itself “Ava’s House of Miracles,” it’ll still be an understatement. 10/10 — would sell my car to sit in her section again.
