Montana’s BBQ & Bar in Cochrane

Our server, Alecc was top notch. Friendly, personable and prompt! He has a sense of humor and it was a pleasure to be served by him. Keep it up, and happy holidays!

Natalie has been great

Our most recent experience was more than disappointing. The most disappointing was how our food was cold when we waited for over and hour. We had ordered the surf and turf but supposedly they ran out of steak. We ended up ordering just the lobster and shrimp separately. When our food arrived it was cold to the touch. Very unhappy to wait that long to receive cold food. Plus my husbands food came in after everyone was finished theirs. Not to mention our server was less than helpful. Barely checking on us and when she did she was complaining about how busy it was but we seen her sitting and chatting quite a bit. She kept forgetting everything where we had to ask for silverware, napkins, refills and where my husbands meal was. Would not recommend especially ordering anything of value on their menu as it was a waste of money and time.

The food and atmosphere are great and Tania, our server was incredible! Highly recommend Montanas!

Tania was such a wonderful server and super friendly! Helped us with the menu and was so patient and kind. We will definitely come back.

Service and food was not as good as last time.

Great service. Great for kids Kid-friendliness: Coloring for kids if huge Food : 5/5 |

Jasmine was fantastic! The food was great and we love coming to Montanas

That guy Nolan is a real great server 10/10, food was okay too I guess

Great food!! Had pulled pork sandwich, burgers & wings! 10 stars!!! Food

Had two steaks and lobster dinner , worst meal ever. The steaks were so hard to cut. They were like rubber. I don t think they should cook steak. They should leave it to someone who can.

Never again. Ordered online for pick up. Tipped 15 percent. Went to pick up my food and they put me at the bar to wait then ignored me. When I asked about my food they couldnt find it. 30 mins after my order was supposed to be ready and no one knew where my food was. They finally gave me a box and no explanation as to why it took so long or where my food was. Needless to say when I got home the food was cold and ruined. Terrible service. Couldnt eat the food. Thanks for taking my money. Never again. 0/10. Parking: Parking lot was the best part of my experience.

Worst restaurant experience of my life! We went for lunch on a Sunday and were the first customers in the restaurant and one of the last ones to get our sub par food. My sister did not get served her food until we were all finished eating. The manager then offered us a 10% discount which took 30 mins for her to approve. When I asked the server to speak to the manager she was to much of a coward to come and speak with us. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY HERE!

Great service, awesome food Vegetarian options: Great selection Parking: Close to entrance Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access

very nice

Lobster spinach dip is super good! Thank you for the recommendation Cherie. We really enjoyed the evening. Thank you for the great service!

Natalie, one of the servers had great service!

Very tasty food Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly Food : 5/5 |

Amazing food, amazing staff and incredible management! I will always recommend

The best dining experience we have had in a while! The best service we ve ever had. Our server was super friendly and made the experience a positive one. Our food was incredible. We will be back!!

Great staff! Great food! And all around the atmosphere is great! The manager Chantelle is also fantastic making sure everything is great and that the experience is wonderful!

Good food, and service. Chantelle is always a pleasure and friendly.

Very helpful and knowledgeable staff, Chantelle and Cherie were to seat us in a place with plenty of space and easy access for my wheelchair so that i was able to enjoy a quick and delicious meal with my family

Had dinner with my friend at this location and the manager Chantelle came over talked to us and checked on us periodically to make sure we were fine, she was very friendly and made us laugh. Our server Cherie was also great. Will come back !

would absolutely recommend and will be visiting again with future events very soon... staff was great food was hot and exactly as described.. special thanks to Chantelle for going over and above what I would expect out of any establishment..

Great food! Our waitress was Chantelle she was very lovely, great service!!!!

Food was delicious, service was great. Chantelle was very friendly and helpful!

Great service from Tanya! She is very friendly and fast, the steak was great and the trash pie was delicious. We will definitely come back soon!

Twice weve come and twice there wasnt brisket . Im wondering if its actually on the menu or just a tactic to get you in? Seems to be a very poorly run restaurant.

Our waitress was great and friendly Food not so much 1 order was south west chicken wrap that was some kind of mystery something Chicken tenders and mashed potatoes, breaded only on 1 side again flavored with some mystery spices potatoes cold Kids size tender ok potatoes cold Nachos with beef were tasty but again cold The wait for food was so long kitchen was a fail

Excellent place

My server Jessica was amazing! Fast service, super friendly and professional. She knew what she was doing. I d go again anytime.

Jess was a great sever. Very friendly! Great atmosphere.

We went for family diner and our server Jessica gave us great recommendations she know her menu, she was dynamic. Great experience will come back !

Great experience at montanas, our server Jessica as great recommendations, she was dynamic and we can see she knew what she was doing ! Will go back !

Great atmosphere, delicious dishes and top-notch service from Jessica!

As usual the ribs were excellent! We very much appreciated Mira, our server. She was friendly and helpful.

Always great service! So friendly!

Out current favourite in cochrane! Bar staff are great Shout out to chantel Jasmine jack and Alex Always friendly and great food Highly recommend the spinach dip Food : 5/5 |

We had lunch today and Alec was our waiter, very polite and professional. And he made the best ceaser I have had yet in cochrane.

Well usually when I eat here its great but service has become slower and it took about 1 HOUR just to get my food which was average

My partner and I decided to go to this establishment and when we arrived there was only one table of people in the restaurant. We stood in the front for a couple of minutes while at least 5 staff members sat in the doorway of the kitchen and talked. They looked over at us and all continued to talk. That should have been our first clue. They saw us seat ourselves. As we sat down some of the staff came closer to the front but still no acknowledgment that we had to seat ourselves. We sat there for at least 10 minutes (again only 2 tables us and then the original table when we walked in). Staff continued to serve the original table but never once acknowledged our existence. Finally after 10 or so minutes of waiting we opted to leave. They watched us leave and still said noting to us. If I could give this place 0 star I would. Service sucks!!

Excellent

I dined at Montanas yesterday, and while our waitress was friendly and got our order right (unlike some other places), the overall experience was disappointing due to the behavior of the manager. Our food arrived late, which was understandable given how busy the restaurant was, but what really bothered me was the manager s actions. She was constantly yelling at the staff and repeatedly called them into her office, pulling them away from their duties. It was clear that the team was struggling to keep up with the number of tables, and the manager only made things worse. In my opinion, a manager should address issues with the staff after their shift, not while they re trying to serve customers.

Worst place to collect delivery orders. Too long waiting time

This had to be one of the most brutal experiences I ve ever had at a Montanas All we ordered was spinach dip and Kapow Shrimp , seems simple enough. The waitress brings out the shrimp and French fries we did not ask for French fries. She forgot all about the dip , she took the fries back left us with the shrimp no cutlery , I had to go ask someone for some. We didn t have plates to eat on. 10 minutes later the dip comes out I take the first bite and it s cold like ice cold. I had to get it sent back because who wants cold dip. She said she would get it remade. All they did was reheated it I could tell it was the exact same dip the soft pita chips were the exact same ones that we were eating. One pita still had a bite out of it when the food was returned. They were no longer soft but hard and crunchy , they d been sitting out for so long they no longer had that softness to them. They waitress told me she wouldn t charge me for the dip she comes back the dip is still on the receipt. After I realized it was still there she took it off. To have such a brutal experience for just shrimp and spinach dip is embarrassing! This was my first time at this restaurant and it definitely made a lasting impression I wouldn t go back if it was free!

Food was alright, but the bar service was fantastic. Jared was awesome and super attentive.

I ordered take out so I am not sure about the food yet! Jasmine was great, she had a recommendation, honest and her opinion for all my annoying questions - do u like chicken or burnt ends? What is ur fav cocktail, and they were just what I wanted. Personal recommendations with real experiences are the best. Thank Jasmine!

Eaten several times at this location. Excellent service by Jas! She made sure everything we ordered came exactly as we wanted. Super attentive and pleasant!

My last visit was great. Beer was cold, burger was good, patio was warm. Prices were on par with competitors. Service was prompt and friendly.

Food is great, the waiter Jared is amazing at his job

Had a fun night out with the family. The food was as expected, but our server Jared went above and beyond in service and friendliness. His recommendation of the fried pickles was great!

I had jazz as the waiter and she was amazing, very friendly and brought the food out quickly

We had excellent food and service the last time we ate at Montana s. It was great for our kids too, as our server Jasmine was patient and attentive to them and made it a fun experience.

Enjoyed a great family dinner. Our waitress Jazz was very friendly and attentive.

The server jared is fantastic. Great job. Diligent and witty. Appreciated his advice about the menu

I knew I wanted to eat ribs but our server Jasmine helped me find exactly the right cut and type of ribs and it was the best ribs. I have eaten in a very long time. Thank you, Jasmine.

the server we had his was Jared and he was vary funny, friendly and happly to help. 10/10 service

Good burger and excellent service from Jared

Jasmine had amazing service!

I ve come a few times to Montanas to eat. I ve had Jasmine as my server a few times and she always listens very well and is always in a good mood and makes my experience better.

Great food, amazing service from Jared today. Beautiful singing voice.

First time at the montanas in cochrane, food came out very quickly and was amazing! Jasmine was serving us, by far the best service I ve received at any restaurant lately! Thank you so much!

It s good and hearty.

Always love Montana s, my grandpa had a great birthday dinner and Tanya was great and super friendly overall such a great place! Dietary restrictions: My mom is gluten free and they did great on making sure she had a great dinner like anyone else

Cherie was a very good server. Parking: Really nice place. Food : 5/5 |

Cherie was amazing. Great service, amazing food

Got the fried chicken, it was absolutely amazing!

Food was great and Cherie was awesome for service

Great food and attentive service!

I highly recommend Cherie for her outstanding work in Montana s. She s consistently goes above and beyond to ensure guests have a memorable experience, and her attention to detail is impressive. She brings positivity and professionalism, making her a true standout in the hospitality industry.

We went with a group of five for dinner at Montanas in Cochrane. The food was typical Montanas food but our server, Alec, was a hoot. He knows his menu inside and out and doesnt even need an order pad no matter how many changes or substitutions you make. He took an order for all five of us and it was all right when it arrived. He took time to come and check on us and make us laugh. We had a really really good evening because of Alec. And when we were arguing over who was going to pay the bill, he suggested we play some tic-tac-toe.

Dont waste your time or money

Went in to get table had to wait 10min for someone to get us a table nobody did so left.

Mira was attentive and kind, and genuinely wanted us to enjoy ourselves. We will be back!

Ordered, 10oz steak, mushroom skillet, loaded baked potato, spinach dip, and a brisket burger for pick up. When i got home i found that the baked potato was missing so i started to get ready to go back and my wife told me the steak was dry and the mushrooms were all shrivled and burnt like they were just what was left over in the pan or something. I went back and they re made the mushrooms and steak and actually added the baked potato. After i got home again the only thing that improved were the mushrooms, they new steak was just as dry as the last one. The burger was fine but who ever made the fries was seriously heavy handed on the salt, tasted like i was licking a salt block.

Went to Montanas with my wife for our anniversary. Made a reservation 2 days prior. When we showed up they had given away our table because we were 10 min late. Disappointing but fine. Waited for another table to come available. Got the All you can eat ribs. Ribs were great. waited 1hr for our second ribs to come. Then another 45 mins for the 3rd. Took way to long and unfortunately this isnt the first time their service has been poor. Great food really poor service. (every time)

Mira rocks! Great service from her this evening!!

Cherie was awesome, she was super busy but forgot no one!! A+

Just so slow. We ordered our food (after making a reservation) at 6:00. Food showed up at 7:20. The place wasn t even full. Very disappointed. No server seemed to care when we expressed our concern on the wait time for food. Wouldn t recommend the Cochrane restaurant to anyone. Sadly we brought our kids which was a mistake. Very angry kids who were hungry.

Service was horrible. Waited 2 hours for our food. Had to ask about it several times

I wanted to plan an extremely special dinner for my oldest son to celebrate his high school graduation and even though I made a reservation for 5 pm, at 7:45 we still had not received our food, were still drinking (more like sucking the ice cubes) the drinks we were originally brought when we first got there because nobody came to even check on us over the 3 hours we ended up being there, only to end up requesting all of our food be made to go. We then paid the bill, and upon getting home we were missing 3 meals and 2 were wrong. I will never go back and am still trying to get a refund from them for the missing meals. Terribly disappointed!!!!

Terrible service would have been faster to cook food blind and drunk

Service sucked,food was 3 hours late and they forgot some of mine and my familys food when we requested it to go

So much went wrong tonight, and trust me I use to be a server in a very busy restaurant for 5 years so I get it. But still we had a bad experience ordering in so we figured we would try to sit in this time. Bad idea. 1. Hot as all hell even on a cooler day. 2.service was slow for how many people they had working in my eyes and for how many tables were seated. 3. Not the servers Fault at all, but they ran out of cheese so after we already gave our nacho order then 20 minutes later than they came back to tell us that there was no cheese for my husband nachos so he had to order again, so of course he couldn t eat dinner with us as our food arrived earlier then his second round of having to order something different. Still waiting on his food and my daughter and I are almost over halfway done eating so then I just tell them to box it up so we can take it to go so he can eat at home. 5. Wings were horrible. They re big and chunky and you can tell are not a good brand and previously frozen so there s just a lot of extra batter on them that just makes it have a bad taste. He couldn t even eat a second one. 6. My spinach dip was fine but the pita chips you can tell they keep them frozen and then just bake them to heat them up and they had a bad kind of frozen taste to them. OK, great 10% off our order thanks for the five dollars off of tax basically .and a shy apology. I understand that it was a busy weekend and that also just means they don t have the right people being able to look after inventory to know that they will be running out of items shortly and keeping track of that stuff to inform the servers on. Anyways I m sure they have there good nights and their Long Island ice tea s are great, but the food quality is not good like I once remembered it, so best to stick to more locally owned family restaurants. And no we won t be back and don t want to reconnect on our experience .lets just leave it.

Very nice experience. Excellent food and server. Parking: Easy free plentiful parking. Food : 5/5 |

Went for a steak,,ordered a 10 oz sirloin well done,order came,i could smell the burnt steak,I had a couple of bites,tasted burnt ,server came and asked how the food was,i told hime the steak was burnt,he said how is everything else?i said everything else (a house salad and beans) was ok,he did not offer me to bring me another steak that was not burnt,i removed the burnt parts of the steak and ate the left over dried overcooked steak,i was given a 20% discount but i didn t go there for discount i went for a good steak,not happy with the food quality and service,stay away from this montana s

Had the lunch rib sampler with baked beans and seasoned fries. My friend had the lunch special with soup, salad, and 1/2 chicken wrap. Both were delicious Wheelchair accessibility: Parked on Handicap parking with ramp close to the door

There was literally A BEETLE IN MY SANDWICH. Food was undercooked (and literally hearing people from other tables calling their waitress over to say the same). Honestly, I am thinking of reporting them to the health authorities. Just as many other people reported, very poor service, poor management, and looks like next to nothing for food safety. It took almost an hour and a half to get our food. Imagine that with little kids. They did all the games on their paper menus, played the montanas app for at least 15-20 minutes and we even read the coffee news front to back (horoscopes, jokes, you name it). Then the meals came in very disorganized, they missed half of ppls meals and 2 ppl from our group got their food 15 minutes later. We were wanting to go to a movie, so we got there with what we thought was ample time, but unfortunately, we never got to enjoy all-you-can-eat ribs, had to rush. No toilet paper in the womens washroom. The waitress we had felt the need to tell us (because we were a large group- 4 kids, 4 adults) that splitting the bill would make things complicated. I was a waitress at a busy chain restaurant on Whyte Ave, I couldnt believe my ears when she said that. THE ABSOLUTE WORST AND MOST DISGUSTING PART: As I ate my pulled pork sandwich, I noticed the chunks of meat were quite dense and hard with some really fatty pieces in there, not at all pulled pork. When I started to take the chunks of meat out of my sandwich, there is was, a charred beetle just lying in the bun. I honestly was shocked, thats never happened. Everyone at my table saw it, you could visibly see legs and antennae. I showed the waitress, who apologized profusely and was visibly digusted, but Im not sure she was as shocked as I was. She offered to bring me another one, to which I declined right away. And since we were late for our movie by this time, I ended up not eating. I have never had such a horrible experience in my life, Ive never written a poor review of any restaurant because Im in the service industry and understand the challenges but this was overboard. This restaurant needs to be inspected and properly managed. It seems like theyve got kids running the place who have no idea what theyre doing. If they dont start turning things around soon, I could see it shutting down, which would be unfortunate for Cochrane.

Went for lunch yesterday as I was craving some ribs and I had a wonderful experience! Food was good but what really made my experience great was my awesome server, Jonah! He was so attentive, quick with his service, and he gave me great info about the menu! Thanks for a an awesome dining experience!

Great service! Our server, Laine, was excellent and the food was good.

Had a great meal. Jasmine our server was very nice and attentive. Will definitely be back!

I want to give a big shoutout to Mira for her fabulous 10/10 service ! She is super efficient and her lovely and positive attitude will bring me back again and again !! Excellent service.

10/10 experience, our server Laine was so lovely and very helpful, she truly made our night enjoyable!

Wonderful atmosphere, my server Laine recommended ordering ribs and I was not disappointed! Would highly recommend this restaurant for the great food and wonderful service!

Restaurant was very nice and I enjoyed the food and the drinks, and our server laine was very friendly and nice and helpful

The Service was excellent. Our server, Mira was attentive and friendly. Providing helpful suggestions on the menu. She ensured our glasses were filled and checked on us frequently. Its hard to find service like this! We will be back!

Five stars isnt enough for the exceptional service provided by Laine. From start to finish, she exemplified professionalism, attentiveness, and expertise. Laine went above and beyond to ensure our experience was nothing short of perfect. Her attention to detail, prompt responses, and friendly demeanor truly set her apart. Well definitely be returning, knowing well receive top-notch service from Laine every time.

Laine deserves every star and more for her outstanding service, especially when it comes to satisfying my Mac and cheese cravings. She not only served up the most delectable Mac and cheese dishes but also did so with a smile and genuine care. Her recommendations were spot-on, and she made sure every aspect of my Mac and cheese experience was perfect. Laines attention to detail and passion for ensuring customer satisfaction truly shines through. Ill be coming back for more of her amazing service and, of course, that irresistible Mac and cheese!

Slavka is absolutely the best. So smiley, positive and efficient. She s a keeper for montanas

Mira was an amazing server Kid-friendliness: It was my grandsons 5th birthday Food : 5/5 |

Came here for supper after work the other day, sat at the bar and got awesome service from the bartender Brielle. Quick, super sweet and great food. Thank you!

Great staff and excellent personal service. One of our favourite places to go in Cochrane. Kid-friendliness: My grandkids (6,4,3) LOVE this place. Their Number one pick for a special occasion.

Aaron was awesome!

We don t leave reviews, but, Sarah our server was amazing and our whole dinner was great

Alec was excellent. Very personable, really helpful and excellent service.

The food is amazing. The staff is very friendly and attentive to your needs. I would recommend getting the antojitos theyre to die for.

Had a great bbq food here last week. Big shoutout to the chef, Evan Irish. He did a busting job!

very tasty and nice atmosphere will definitely come again separately put 5 stars for cheesecake! It s delicious !!! Food : 5/5

A couple nights ago, i tried some deep fried pickles from this location and I felt like a new person. I asked my waiter who was responsible for this astounding dish and it was prepared by a gentleman named Evan. Man, this Evan guy is something else. I dont know who he is, but THIS BOY CAN COOK!!! To be more specific, those deep fried pickles permanently altered my brain chemistry. Before this experience, my whole life just felt like an unanswered question, and those deep fried pickles at the hands of the one they call Evan gave me hope. To say I enjoyed them would be more than an understatement, I fell in love. Evan, you may be a line cook or something, but you changed my life, you are God. Thank you. Service was okay as well

Been there a couple of times love the food and love how friendly the service was

Very good food

Mira was a most gracious and fun to have as our server for our group of 10. We will be back . Kid-friendliness: They were very attentive to the childrens needs.

Nice service, very lovely waitress. But food was absolutely not good. We could not chew through our steaks

Absolutely exquisite, Brielle was an amazing server 10/10

Went in for some ribs. The food was great! Wish they had the volume up on the hockey game, since its the playoffs....But what was even better was our server. Brielle was very attentive and personable. She made great recommendations and well definitely be back.

Had a great experience. Our server was Brielle and she was so friendly and provided perfect service. Will be back 100%.

Came in for lunch today, our server Brielle was wonderful! The food was taking a while but she was great at communicating and keeping us happy! When the food came it was awesome and absolutely worth the wait! We will be coming back!

Thank you Brielle for making this bday awesome

Great. Music a bit loud Parking: Outdoor Recommended dishes Parking space Plenty of parking

Jakub at the Cochrane location is the best server ever: polite, friendly, and attentive. Thanks for the great service Jakub.

Jakub was the sweetest server. He ensured our party of 4 had everything we needed. He was attentive and patient when we were not quite ready to place our order. He was pleasant and made our visit tonight special. Thank you Jakub! 5 star!

Brutal service. Waited well over an hour for food in a nearly empty restaurant. This is a montanas my expectations are already low they could at least be quick.

Jasmine was great! Food was a bit slow and not all the same temperature but we knew it was Fathers Day so we had a good idea it was going to be busy. Ribs were great. Will be back!

Our server Sarah and the Lady manager was gracious and accommodating, ensuring every aspect of our dining experience was perfect from start to finished. Montana is still the best choice if you plan to dine in Cochrane.

Great food, good staff..BUT, music being played at 5pm on a friday for dinner time was very loud.

Braelyn was great, we had an issue with our food being cold and she was extremely helpful, would recommend for her service alone!

Music was a little too loud on the family side, appetizers were good and the food was either decent or good. Mommas lemonade was delicious. We were however given the wrong burger but took it to go and didn t notice and the brisket was not good, they did refund us the following day though :) Food

Montanas in Cochrane, Alberta must have been one of the best experiences overall! It started out with our server Jasmin, who has the most Amazing personality with such a welcoming smile. We were not sure what we wanted , when we asked her she was extremely patient as well as knowledgeable and gave us some excellent suggestions that we ended up choosing. Thank-you Jasmin you are very sweet and appreciated . We ordered the Chicken and rib which came hot and fresh . The chicken was crispy and so moist as with the rib it was fall off the bone perfection . The portions were a generous size . As for the pricing we found it very reasonable and affordable. We antispate going back soon. YES it was that good! Youre sure to leave with a full stomach, adding in the genuine smile from the service we received was an extra special blessing to our meal. Thankyou Montanas and Jasimin. Deborah & Beverly

Went on a Thursday at 4ish. It was not busy at the time. My daughter ordered the chicken tacos and I had the fried chicken and mashed potatoes. My daughter s tacos had no lettuce, few toppings and looked like slices of chicken thrown into a taco shell with a line of sauce on it. Both meals were luke warm at best. We sent the meals back. We waited ten minutes and our food arrived back. My chicken had been heated but the mashed potatoes and vegetables were still Luke warm. Not sure if they simply threw it in the microwave as my daughters was still only marginally warmer as well. Got a half hearted apology from the waitress and no comp. Not even our sodas were taken off the bill! This place is definitely hit or miss. They seem to only do consistently well with the fajitas. And be prepared to wait for your food even if it is empty there. If we are ever in the mood for Montana s again will head to Calgary.

Waited over 50 mins for mediocre food at best, the server tried his best but they were clearly understaffed. Saturday night and no expectation of being busy? Couldn t even get a draft beer for 20 mins due to one bartender who apparently wouldn t let other people serve a beer. Won t be back anytime soon.

Thank you for food and service.

Excellent service and the best food.

Ordered in - Rib combo - ribs were dry and a taster was inedible hard burnt Cornbread literally exploded in my hand when trying to break it!! Hard dry and again inedible Do better Montanas!! Definitely not worth the expense

Lunch meal was expensive. Chicken Burrito Bowl s/b renamed to Chickenless Burrito Bowl look 6as there was very little chicken.Our table ordered a small meal and a medium of the same. Was brought 2 mediums and charged for one medium and one large. Not going back

Although I generally enjoy Montanas, this recent experience bordered on a scam. Our group was overcharged for four menu items, despite bringing it up with the waitress, who seemed unresponsive. Additionally, after returning home, I experienced food poisoning, indicating something was amiss with the meal. Ive decided not to return to this Montanas, and my advice to others is to carefully review their bills if they choose to dine there.

Always a great experience when we go... Love the ribs and that Montanas BBQ sauce! Parking: While there are a limited number of spots directly in front of the establishment, there are plenty of spots directly beside it that are shared with other businesses Wheelchair accessibility: They do have the automatic door buttons and wheelchairs can easily access the building

Great food, our server Laine was very sweet and professional!

I would give zero stars if I could. We went to dine out as a treat and had the worst experience ever. We got our appetizer fast and then waited over and hour and never received our meal. We finally got up and left and went to Dairy Queen. The worst part was the server came by and said Oh wow youre food is taking a long time. Let me go check on that. and then never returned. We waited 15 more minutes and I had to flag her down and asked again when we might get our food and was told again she would go check. We waited at least another 5 minutes only for her to leisurely stroll out of the kitchen and avoid us. Thats when we got up and left. We didnt pay for the appetizer in exchange for our wasted time. This was the first time back in over 5 years because of bad service before and we see nothing has changed. I think she forgot to ring in the order. Mistakes happen but communicate with people. We wont be fooled a third time.

My experience at this location was phenomenal! My food came out just the way I wanted, the drinks were delicious, and our server, Jenn, was so attentive and friendly! Will definitely be coming back to this Montanas.

Love love love! Highly recommend!

We were a group of 14. The 2 people that ordered appetizers got hot food. The rest waited a long time , like over an hour , got cold food. So disappointing. They did give a discount and offered to remake but we were so hungry. Also the 2 fajita were hit but didn t come till we pointed out that we had the sides but not the chicken. Not sure we will be back

Excellent experience, Alec was a top shelf employee!

Great food, fair prices & friendly efficient service

I dont honestly know how this may come up as 4 stars. It is so bad! I really dont think staff are trained whatsoever. 4 other staff behind the bar, nobody checking on customers, had to go to hostess just to get the bill. Terrible! Im very gracious to servers but this was really bad...Id actually say awful would be the best description

It was made clear that the servers don t actually want to be there or present to do their job, which means a lack of management and training. Spent two hours at this location, and our table was treated like we didn t exist. Two people joined and sat for over 15 mins without even acknowledgement or asked if they wanted a drink. My first server told me she wanted to be done her shift, the second one, well .at the end apologized as she said she got busy and forgot about us. Meanwhile watched 3 people doing nothing behind the bar. I am not one to complain, but wasn t a good experience and likely my last. I was also told I couldn t order a bottle of wine because they couldn t trust my guest would show up . and had four show up!

It is so clear that these sweetheart servers and supervisors are doing their best every busy night like tonight to make customer s experience as best as they can. Watched as so many rude customers yell and so many staff members when a little patience is all that s needed. Keep it up you Angel servers. 100% Recomend

Parking: Lots of free parking available. Kid-friendliness: Butcher paper and crayons are available on all tables. We played a form of Pictionary until our food came. Food : 5/5 |

Yet another let down and a waste of 100$. We have given this place the benefit of the doubt a few times now and the food has gotten progressively worse. Decided to order ultimate appetizer off of door dash, received the order and was extremely let down. Everything was tasteless, soaked in grease and just plain gross. The spinach dip was a joke. As you can see the picture attached is what was Received , for a 17$ dish we were extremely disappointed with the portion size. Called the restaurant to let them Know about our issues ( not looking for a refund) and we were told it s somehow door dashes fault for order sizes. Definitely the last time I will be ordering from this location.

Went for dinner last night, it was fantastic! Mira our server was absolutely wonderful and the food was awesome!!

Susan was incredible. Her service was fantastic!

Love the fajitas Friendly staff Food

Always great when we go in. Managers are friendly and the servers are too. We always end up very happy and full. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Generally a really great experience with good food

Enjoyed a great meal. Mira provider kind and efficiënt service

Our server was new or having a bad day, she walked away from our table twice, saying...just a second! It was not busy at all, Im not sure what happened and we seen her to order drinks, then food, then the bill, and we waited 15 min to pay the bill. Ive served many years of my life, and that is the first time I have not left a tip - it was quite bad.

I went to Montanas restaurant with a guest from Australia, and at that time, only one table was paying their bill. The hostess asked us to wait for a moment and left us standing at the entrance for about 4 minutes. From the kitchen, she seemed to be peeking at us. After 4 minutes, she returned and enthusiastically said, WELCOME!!!! What kind of welcome is this? Well never visit Montana in Cochrane again. Im extremely disappointed, especially after my guest witnessed this experience.

Came here for happy hour on a Sunday and boy was that a mistake. One waitress working the restaurant. We ordered as soon as we sat down and waited over an hour for a couple appies and kids meals. No one came by between us ordering and us getting our food to check if we wanted more to drink while we waited. The waitress finally delivered our food and did not ask if we needed anything(water or side plates or etc.) before she walked away again. Seems like just it is just poorly managed

Montanas. Great Atmosphere great staff quality food for a great price. Oh and its family friendly Vegetarian options: Veggies burger Veggies fajitas Dietary restrictions: Gluten free menu items Wheelchair accessibility: Yes wheelchair accessible

We came in for my daughters birthday. I wasnt too keen on going there since she was just turning six but we got some coupons at Spray Lakes. So amongst all the chaotic bustle I actually forgot the cake! I was devastated. I mentioned to the server that I had to run home for it but she told me to wait a min. The manager, Chantel came to pull me aside and asked me if my daughter had any food allergies and told me not to stress since they had it covered. Next thing you know all the staff came out with 3 huge peices of chocolate cake with sparklers and all sang for her. I mean I was grateful for all that! When I got the bill I noticed there was nocharge for any cake. I was floored. She saved my daughters birthday and at no cost to boot! So yes I will definitely be returning to Cochrane Montanas. The food was awesome and so was the service start to finish. Thank you so much Chantel, you really went over and above. Kid-friendliness: We spent my daughters birthday dinner there. And it was a great success. Thanks again guys.

This place is hit or miss, Tuesday afternoon not busy at all you would think the service would be good Well boy I was wrong. I got the lobster Mac, and the cornbread that it comes with was rock hard. My cousin got the tacos and she said it was too salty. My friends firecracker burger was burnt and the fries are ALWAYS over salted after the multiple times I ve been here, I would not recommend coming here to eat.

Server food check 1/2 way thru meal Baked potato was cold Did not get my onion rings No bill adjustment Will not go back ever Poor management Wheelchair accessibility: Handicap parking adequate

Thanks Sarah, great friendly service. To the kitchen staff, yum loved my chipotle firecracker burger, mouthwatering so juicy. Hubby liked smoked pulled pork sandwich so good. Then triple layer chocolate cake for dessert. Roll me out the door. Hope everyone had out experience. Thanks again, Allegra

Really fast service! Food was fantastic. Loved the experience

Family meal for my sons birthday. Mira was amazing took care of table with friendly fast service. Food

Server tried to upsell each time she came to our table. Asked us about dessert three times. I understand they are being told by management to do that but I think it was a little excessive. Boyfriend got a perfectly cooked medium rare steak, but the side of mushrooms were slightly burnt. Still fine to eat, just a bit blackened. Best fried fish Ive had in a long time but when I asked the server for balsamic vinegar she gave me balsamic salad dressing.... Didnt bring the stars down just thought that was weird.

7pm on a Friday night, ordered two kids pizzas with fries and two chicken burgers with fries. Waited almost 50 mins. There were less than 10 tables in the restaurant, over half of which had already ordered when we got there. The table behind us got there minimum 10 minutes after us and got their food ahead of us. We finally had to go ask if our food was coming soon. Waited again, then went and asked for boxes with our food, as we would have to take it with us. They gave us 20% off for our troubles. We then had to ask twice for the kids desserts. When I explained that I worked many years in the restaurant industry, and I know from experience that this is unacceptable, the supervisor informed me that he grew up in the restaurant industry so I guess we re in the wrong for the poor experience?? Got home (10min. drive) and the burgers had disgusting, wilted lettuce on them. So we ate gross, cold food at home, but apparently 20% off makes up for that. Lesson learned, never again!

I ordered the Caesar salad online and was very disappointed. No croutons, Parmesan cheese and only a spoonful of bacon bits. Pretty much just romaine lettuce that was somewhat brown Food

Brielle was phenomenal, trust me and ask for her each time you go!! Best place on earth, chantelle (the manager) is always so kind. Food is Fantastic but server was even better.

Food was delicious, the restaurant itself was brilliant with hockey live on the TV, very clean, service was okay, waitress was very quiet when speaking to us so couldnt hear what she was saying, but other then that good experience.

waiter was amazing he was funny and super nice and the food was amazing

Our family came for the Wednesday All You Can Eat Ribs and had incredible service!!! Sarah our waitress was extremely attentive and kind. The manager, Alec, was also very thoughtful and checked on our family. The food was delicious and the staff were wonderful - I highly recommend this location!! Kid-friendliness: Staff were extremely attentive and engaging with our kids!

They looked understaffed this night, but the manager named Alec did an incredible job taking orders and advising people there might be a bit of a wait. Just a respectable thing to do as a manager. He was awesome!

Food was slow but okay. 0rdered a rib and wing combo which came out without the wings. Took another roughly 25mins to get them. Server tonight was just not into working and service was definitely lacking. Walking away after asking one question without waiting for real reply doesnt help. Last visit was much better. We will return but hope to get a different staff assisting us.

We had the best lunch today, on Xmas Eve day. Our server, Cherie was so nice, and went above and beyond. Highly recommend all e burgers and the spinach dip!

I don t normally post negative reviews but this was an awful experience. We had a large group and called ahead making sure they could accommodate us. It took us 30 minutes so even order our drink then another 45 minutes after that to get the drinks we ordered. Good came out about an hour and a half later. Our table asked to talk to a manager 3 separate times, and were told she couldn t come because she was on the line we saw her get her purse and leave, never coming by our table. There was a hair in one of the meals, the waitress took the plate of food, and didn t even ask if she wanted something else! Didn t charge us for it but one of their guests left hungry. We also had 2 people order mac and cheese, 45 minutes later the waiter came out & said they were out of Mac & cheese so the kids ordered something different, and when the food finally came out they got BOTH meals (the Mac & cheese and their alternate meal) we were never asked if we wanted another drink a few people got one but they had to flag people down to ask for it. It was one thing after another and a pretty awful experience

Probably the worst experience Ive ever had at a montanas dine in. Ordered the exact same thing as my mother and we asked for very well done steaks, my mom got hers and it was perfect, I got mine it was pretty much rare, I ordered skillet mushrooms with it and by the time I got them my steak was cold, then I let the waitress know and I get the attitude basically of what do you want me to do? Get my manager? Get you a new one that will take 20 minutes? Take it off your bill? So I said I guess (by this time my mother was done her meal), well she took my whole plate when I couldve at least ate my fries. 1 out of 6 waitresses was very nice and this one was nice until I asked for a different knife and not a butter knife for my steak.

Was refreshing to see a manager talk to her tables ensure they are good and happy. When the servers were busy Chantelle was a great help clearing tables helping with food etc. I would definitely come here again. The firecracker burger and chicken burrito bowl & lobster topper on our steak was amazing. Parking: Lots of parking, good location.

Food was amazing our server was nice and attentive.. The manager also came over to check on our meal and service. Overall great experience and can t wait to go back to Montanas Cochrane

We had a great dinner tonight! The girls were all really attentive - even the servers that werent ours. We enjoyed the food and service!

Booked for NYE dinner, arrived and it looked like a bomb went off in the place. dirty tables and washrooms. Took 15 minutes to get drinks and 30 minutes to place order. After after another 30 minutes we were told they ran out of the item we ordered. waited another 30 minutes for the food which was over done and unpleasant. Ordered and med rare steak and recieved a burnt well done steak Didnt send back because I didnt want to wait another 30 minutes and was hungry. Will not return. happy new year

Lunch was great, January 04, 1PM. Huge shoutout to our server, she was absolutely amazing. Wish I got her name to give her a proper thank you. Early 20s, blonde, said she was going on a trip to Europe. Anyway, reminded me of my daughter. Food was amazing, came quick but the service was top notch.

Recently visited - 4 people - 1 sreak was charred - hard - they were out of baked potatoes at 5:30 pm and had no rice for 2 burrito bowls

Pls sell bottles of the zesty ranch dip

My server was Chayenne. Food came quick and was hot and tasty. Too many screaming kids but it is a family restaurant I guess

Quality of food we ordered was poor. Possibly there are better menu options.

The pullet pork was very tough and you couldnt bite it, a non-GO for such a specialized company

Yikes. Completely disorganized. We ordered the bbq combo for four online and had to reconfirm the order over cell twice as they had no clue what the menu item was. Upon arrival, we waited another 15 minutes before being asked to reconfirm, for a third time, our order (that was not started). The real problem we had was with the portion sizes. Containers were pitifully filled and we found that the combo for four was really just a combo for two. Disappointing experience, to say the least

Food is amazing and service but took very long

My husband and I go to Cochrane Montanas EVERY Monday for the half price wings. For the past month, they ve been out of shrimp, honey garlic sauce, spinach dip and apples! We overlook this obvious mismanagement of the kitchen. We were, however surprised to see the manager out smoking instead of running half a block to No Frills to pick up apples, on that occasion they were out. Apples!!! Come on!! The reason for the final straw causing me to write this review was that our pick up order this evening was for spinach dip (which was hard and cold) and 8 wings(we only got 7). Surprisingly the apple pecan salad was good, and for once the take out size matched the amount we get when we dine in. The reason for my review is for their benefit! They need to know the mistakes they are making! A regular, albeit unsatisfied customer!

Had a great dinner. Jenn was our server and she was quick and amazing even with my pickiness with what to get!

Good food and good service! Jenn was great - super friendly and attentive.

Jenn is a fantastic server who really goes above & beyond to make sure youre content with your meals & fully enjoy your visit. Love going to Montanas!!! Food

Great experience! I attended last night and the food was wonderful. Our server Jenn made us feel welcome and was super attentive! Will be coming back!

The food and drinks were good. But our server Jenn is who made the experience that much better. She was so sweet to my kids and took her time to let my son order all by himself! Will definitely be back! Thanks Jenn

I rarely go out to eat but this location was so close by I decided to give it a go. Boy was I glad I did! My waitress, Jenn, was an absolute delight. Prompt, courteous and efficient. The minute I needed something, there she was!!! Thanks, Jenn!! I will be back!!!

Good food and the waitress Mira was awesome.

Brianna gave our family fantastic service and the steak was cooked perfect thanks for a great dinning experience!!!

So happy to have found this Montanas!!!! Excellent food and amazing service. Thank you for being so attentive and a joy to deal with Chantelle T and Cherie!!!! We ll be back amazing service as per usual.

Good restaurant in Cochrane, thats really kid friendly. Food is consistent. Service is really friendly. Mar 21, 2023 - Service is still really good. Food is good. Tried the Taco special. They were ok. Food

My family and I had dinner Saturday night at the Cochrane location and our ribs were delicious! Our waitress was Cheri and she was very pleasant and accommodating. I was super impressed that the manager Chantel even came to our table to make sure we were being well taken care of and were enjoying the meal. It was refreshing to see a manager on the floor helping her staff by clearing tables and running food. Will definitely eat here again.

Jen is absolutely amazing!!!!! They are so lucky to have her she is an asset to your company!!

Our server Alexia was excellent and steaks cooked to perfection!

Kattera was the best server we have had at Montana s so far!! Thank you so much for being AMAZING!!!

Had dinner at Montanas tonight, Jenn was our server. She was very friendly and came back frequently to see if we needed anything, great service.

Went for lunch the other day and wasnt too impressed. They didnt have the pitta chips for the spinach dip so we got regular tortilla chips which was fine if we didnt get the bottom of the bag chips. Most were tiny crumbs.. They didnt have any 12oz or 10oz steaks left. It took over 45 minutes to get our appetizers and it took 1.5 hours to get our main dishes.. the food came room temperature, so the plates clearly sat in the kitchen for a while. Does it normally take almost 2 hours from ordering to getting the food?! Our waitress was friendly but she was so busy as she was the only one in the section that had about 6-7 tables of people, so it took a while for her to get anything we needed/ordered brought to us.

Have come in here a couple of times with my family and their service is always incredible, all the waitresses are incredibly kind and go above and beyond!!! The food is good as well!! My favourite is always the spinach dip or anijtos!!!

Had a great night with Cherie as our server. Terrific service. Great food and lots of laughter. Saturday night is busy so get there early.

Just dont! Save your sanity and go somewhere else. I have never been to such a disorganized restaurant, ever! Waitress had no idea what we were trying to order, had to point at the menu and she still had no idea. Drinks were wrong, my spouses meal came out 2 hours later. Not mine though, waitress had no idea what I ordered and tried to go track it down in the kitchen. This is just the key highlights of our excruciating 2hr visit.

Friendly place and great staff My rare steak was tough, but not their fault. My particular cow must have been chased around the stock yard before slaughter. Lol Food
