Everyone is so nice! And the food....oh my gosh! Phenomenol! Highly recommend
We decided to stop in for some barbecue after a day of sports. It was a great choice as the food was fantastic and very flavourful and our server Megan was fantastic. She was very attentive and made sure we were taken care of. As for the atmosphere, there are many TVs to keep up with the scores . We will certainly be back.
Montana's delivers a fantastic dining experience that truly stands out. The rustic yet inviting atmosphere sets the perfect backdrop for a meal with friends or family. Their menu features a mouthwatering array of dishes, from tender, smoky ribs to flavorful burgers that never disappoint. The variety of sides complements the main courses beautifully, and the portion sizes are generous. The staff is friendly and attentive, making sure every guest feels valued. Thank you "Ray" for a fantastic experience. (I believe was our servers name) Don't forget to indulge in their delightful desserts; the triple layer chocolate cake is a must-try! Overall, Montana's is a top-notch choice for anyone seeking delicious food and a great time. We had a wonderful time celebrating our friend's birthday October 22nd 2024. Highly recommended!
We enjoyed a delicious meal on the patio; a great space with shade & sun. Service was prompt and polite and the food was fresh, well prepared and tasted great! We had the spicy fried chicken sandwich and the burrito bowl. 🤩 You have to try the antojitos; they're always a winner to start!
Montana's is a fantastic spot for families looking for a casual dining experience with delicious food and a lively atmosphere. We loved the all-you-can-eat ribs, which were tender, juicy, and cooked to perfection. It's a great place to catch a game while enjoying a meal together. The service was friendly and efficient. Highly recommended!
It was good overall. Busy because it was their all you can eat Wed rib night, which is a trap because you can't really eat much more than a big rack of ribs anyway.
The beef rib was delicious!!! The kids menu is lack of protein , would it be worthy to add chicken to the noddles The environment is amazing, except for the AC it was to high for my us 🥶 The music was to low, The service was incredible. Definitely we are going back next week!!! It would be magnificent to have music country show !
This place was amazing!! Came here with my boyfriend on a whim and I'm glad we did. Loved the loaded garlic starter and burgers (Canadian and the fire cracker). Our server, Matt, was amiable and hospitable. All in all, definitely coming again!

great place for a meal
Great service, fast and always delicious. We come here regularly because the prices are excellent as is the food. Our waitress Tass is great and explains everything to us in detail
I came in to celebrate my birthday with my partner, our server was nice but we had waited almost 30 minutes for our 2 drinks to come, which came after finishing our appetizer (loaded potato skins- which were excellent) it took ages to get the attention of our server to refresh our drinks, our food took very long to come out, 2 tables of 6 that came in after us were given their food first, yet we were a group of 2. When we got our food, my partners steak was NOT medium rare and it was cold, and the loaded baked potato was almost ice cold, the cheese wasn t melted and the bacon seemed like it had just come out of the fridge. we had tried numerous times to get the attention of our server and were ignored every time and at that point he was starving so he ended up just eating the cold food. I had all you can eat ribs which tasted great, the second order came out fairly quick, but when ordering the last round of ribs with the bill they took incredibly long once again, the side caesar salad i ordered was awful, the lettuce was old and wilted and there was almost no dressing. I was very excited to come and celebrate my birthday here but i was very disappointed in the food and the service.
Lovely lovely people Parking: Lots of spots :) Food : 5/5 |
Keep coming back for the spinach dip. Excellent portion size and for a reasonable price.
The food was excellent as usual. Service was above and beyond and the beer was frosty and tasty.
Great service and friendly staff!
My wife and I are avid visitors at this location. The staff take pride in their duties and the Chefs never disappoint. Best in the City.
Quick, efficient and very friendly service. Even a quick conversation went a long way. Will come again Parking: Shares a parking lot with the plaza, but that s pretty much normal anywhere now.

Went here today. Waited to be served, not one person came over even though both bartenders noticed us on more than one occasion. Finally had enough and left after they started serving people that arrived after us. Used to be a regular here but no more St. Louis down the road has better service.
Awesome service. Very fast and friendly and a place I love returning to
The perfect spot to share apps and gossip with the girlies! Great atmosphere, staff are friendly, food is always great!
Really awesome cottage style ambiance :) The food and service was excellent. Alex was our waiter and she delivered excellent and fast service.

Food was as it should be. Our daughter had the steak and said Its the best steak she has ever had Our guests from Scotland shared Ribs and Wings and said its was great as well as the best fries they had on there whole visit. Kid-friendliness: We asked our server to give us advance notice of any bday célébrations due to our Autistic child with sensory issues. He was very understanding.
From the atmosphere to the food to the employees, this is the best Montanas in the city!
So good!
Great Service!
Always a great time at this location , Antojitos are the bomb!
Our server was cheerful and had great timing. They were helpful and moved us along nicely from appetizers to entree. Attentive but not over the top!!

Worst sirloin steak EVER! Not eatable Cesar salad nor coleslaw. Very bad!!!
Our waitress was very friendly. We went early on a thursday evening. We started with 4 cheese spinach dip with nacho chips and a type of flatbread cut into small triangles. Was yummp. We both ordered the same meal. Really good, filling. Had to take some home. Chicken burrito bowl. So good. Food

Very friendly staff Parking: Great spot to park Food : 5/5 |
Arrived at approx 7. Gave our name and phone number as they said they would text when a table was ready and sat at the bar. We waited an hour and noticed a number of vacant tables. They had forgot to text us. The meal and service was great but the wait was unacceptable, especially when the young lady tried to say she did text but her associate corrected her.
My experience was not good at all we waited over 30 minutes for our bill When I went to the front the girls didn t bother helping they said you have to wait the waitress is busy and sent me back to sit and wait again over the 30 minutes The food was not good either the steak was very dry and had no flavour The waitress was nice but poor girl is running around crazy because they don t schedule enough people
Very good ribs and the burgers are also very good and at a good price
Great service and the deep fried pickles were delicious Kid-friendliness: Good choices on the kids menu Food : 5/5 |

Very friendly staff! Rima is great.
Montana s BBQ & Bar in Ottawa, and it was a fantastic experience! The restaurant is incredibly cozy, with a warm and inviting atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. Despite being cozy, it s also very spacious, providing plenty of room to comfortably enjoy your meal without feeling crowded. The decor is rustic and charming, perfectly complementing the delicious BBQ dishes they serve. The food was absolutely mouthwatering from the perfectly smoked ribs to the savory sides. The staff was friendly and attentive, adding to the overall great experience. If youre looking for a cozy yet spacious place to enjoy some amazing BBQ in Ottawa, Montana s BBQ & Bar is the perfect choice.
Super slow, unprofessional, and fake service and below average and cold food. 1. You park behind the location just to see your server and cook smoke and walk around the building to the roadside because the owner forgot to put the entry door from the parking lot. 2. Ordered bloody Ceasar got it served with the straw Ok, figured these guys are clueless about why theres celery salt on a rim, but when I decided to drink from the jar, cut my lip because the jar was chipped underneath that spice mix coating. 3. Appetizer-Antojitos was not fluffy, soft, or fresh. It was probably microwaved, sad looking with a lot of empty room in a skillet that was cold. Somebody tell the cook that he can put it on the stove or in the salamander to heat it up like its done in a restaurant. 4. My burger patty was fine, but the bun was dry while the fries were really good. My wifes ribs were stone cold. Not lukewarm but fridge cold. Classic lazy cook. What a shame. 5. The server was fake as it got. Answered AWESOME!! yo every answer we gave her regardless of whether is positive or negative. We just sat and she ask us what we wanted to drink. OK, I understand you want to push for drinks but its 11.30AM, chill the F down. Understand the time, the customers, maybe they are driving, maybe they dont drink, its not Friday night, relax, think. After we asked for a few minutes to look at the menu she was gone for 15-20min. After we ordered drinks she just turned around and left without taking the food order, leaving us to wait hungry for another 10-15 min until somebody made drinks. I guess, having pen and paper is too embarrassing for her. We waited forever for our food and 1min after we got it, the table that walked in half hour after us got their food. Great time management. At the end, the server disappeared, probably went to smoke again, we had to ask a hostess for a bill on which she said that the server will bring it to us before going back to the FD to chat with other 3 girls No kidding, for real!! She has a brain to do her nails and makeup but I guess she needs to be told to go and get the server for customers instead of talking to her girlfriends about the night before. All in all, this place is disgusting, intellectually and literally. People smoke at the back, nobody wash hands, chipped glassware, ignorant service, youve had better. We visited from Montreal the other location a few months ago, much more civilized. This one was close to our itinerary and we made a mistake stopping by thinking all the Montanas are the same. First world country, third world branch.
Awesome location
great service and food!
First time here and definitely not the last! Ray was Awesome!!!

Unpleasant Experience at the Bar I recently visited at 9.45pm 19.07.2024 and was extremely disappointed by the attitude of the receptionist. From the moment we arrived, we felt unwelcome. The receptionist barely acknowledged asking us to wait for half hour as they dont have 8 seating table. She replied all seats are reserved. After waiting for 10mins, When I asked her for assistance with seating by splitting into 4 seats, the response was curt and dismissive. Throughout our time at the bar, the receptionist continued to exhibit a lack of professionalism and courtesy. Finally she opened up saying that they need to close at 11pm. So they dont wish to take orders. I suggest, please dont visit this bar.
Went there with my fiancée yesterday to get ribs. They had an odd taste to them. I chalked it up to bad sauce. Fast forward 32 hours and both of us have been extremely sick non stop since almost the moment we left. She has food poisoning from the ribs, no need to get into detail, We know the results of food poisoning. Its been non stop. Im not sure if the ribs didnt get fully cooked or if they sat out to long but they definitely werent good. Could have been a bad batch. Not sure. But $100 for two people and now end up having to call in sick today and tomorrow is far from ideal. Service wasnt bad, but a bit better quality control on the food would be great. As clearly atleast yesterdays batch of ribs was bad. Uncooked, something.
Food comes quick, hot, and tasty. The waiters did a birthday party last night and honked the truck hanging over the bar- very fun.
The hosts were great, food was amazing and great service
The staff is amazing and take super great care of their customers. Food was delicious.
