The staff when we called didn’t understand that only tomato and lettuce on a burger was ok to order. Or it should be straight forward was very small portions my burger was full of crunchy bits from the grill over cooked and yeah they put nothing on my burger. Not impressed not going back for a while
I have to say they were swamped when we came in, but all the staff were so considerate and sweet. The girl who sat us was multitasking, answering the phones getting our stuff ready to be seated apologized when she didn’t have to. Then our server Julia was the perfect server, she let us know what was going on came at the perfect time to check on us. The staff you have on board really make the experience that much more enjoyable. On top of the delicious food the kitchen cooked perfectly. Got the bbq brisket potato skins and the buttermilk chicken with the mashed potatoes. 10/10 experience thank you!
My family surprised me with my birthday supper here and I must say I’m so happy with the choice. Not only was the food amazing and not long of a wait at all, but our server Sylvia was the absolute best! She was such a sweet heart, with an awesome personality. She went above and beyond for all of us. Thank you again for everything even that awesome birthday song ❤️
I loved the atmosphere, very crowded yet waitress Allyson and Julia gave us the best experience. I even got a cake. I loved the food here are some pics. I highly recommend.
My tacos 🌮 were pretty great. I'd skip the Kapow sauce next time and maybe ask for salsa... but that's just a personal preference.
Our server Jenn was super helpful and friendly. Our orders arrived promptly, with no delays. Within approximately 10 minutes, we had our food. The ribs were well done, the fries were crispy, and the coleslaw was great. While the chicken was a bit bland, it was still okay. The only downside was that our table wasn’t properly cleaned before we sat down, as we had to wipe away some food crumbs. Overall, though, it was a great experience.
By far the best ribs I had in Saint John. The food was decent and the atmosphere was snug!!!! Omg the chocolate cake is to die for!
Jess B. Was our waitress. She was very pleasant & checked on us frequently. We had ordered our appetizers and meals and received all of our food in only 17 minutes. We were blown away! Everything was hot and delicious. Thank you for the great meals and service. :)
Great food every time! Parking: Lots of room and close to building Kid-friendliness: Provide crayons, activity menu and kids menu
Our server Charlie was great! We had a great time here celebrating a birthday.
Slow service. Lots of missed opportunities
Jenna was an amazing waiter 10/10 will be coming back
Everything is always great!! Especially the staff!! Dietary restrictions: Unable to eat fish for yo sllergy Food : 5/5 |
Very friendly staff
Great service and friendly staff
Low quality of food, either these guys are using expired meats or they are have hygiene issues. On Saturday I went to Montana for lunch and got super sick. Could barely make it back to hotel room. I took activated charcoal. My friends went to the same place for dinner and the next 2 days had gut rot.
Dietary restrictions: Even if you have dietary needs, they can cater to the vast majority of them. By changing or taking out some of the toppings, ingredients, or substituting side dishes, etc. Kid-friendliness: Definitely kid friendly, and they also have their staff do a non-traditional Happy Birthday song for your birthday if you so choose. Wheelchair accessibility: Montanas is wheelchair accessible, and the parking lot is flat. There are booths as well as tables for seating.
Food was yummy as we only wanted something to share for two people, we had the beef nachos and spinach dip, highly recommend both! Our waitress Charlie was incredibly friendly and helpful which was a nice change compared to some other restaurants these days! Have been here before and will come again!
very welcoming, service was very quick and helpful.
Great waiter, great food, the best double date night!
We were served by Sylvia. She is so good at her job. She is professional, attentive and has such a bubbly personality. Montanas is very blessed to have her as an employee. The food was good but could have been a bit hotter. Overall, a very good experience.
Excellent steaks
Exceptional service from our waiter Sylvia. She was very kind and attentive. Food was great and our steak was cooked as we like and spinach dip was delicious!
Great atmosphere to have food and drinks with friends and family. Service was excellent. Steak was a little tough but all in all it tasted great.
Very good food and very nice Customer Service by Ryley. Thank you! Vegetarian options: Veggie Buritto Bowl Food : 5/5 |
Charlie is a wonderful server and made our experience very pleasant
Its expensive for the quality of food but the orders were right and the service was good.
Alyssa was really great and helped answer our questions about food allergies!
Alyssa was lovely! I had an allergy concern about a dessert and she brought out the entire box for me to read. She was friendly and fast.
Me and my wife went to Montana s for dinner, it was fantastic the food was delicious and the waiter was the nicest waiter we ve ever dealt with her name was Alyssa she made sure we had everything we needed and went out of her way for us thank you Montana s for the great food and service.
Our lunch was delicious, drinks were mixed well, service was awesome. Thank you alyssa! Hope to have you again next time Kid-friendliness: Baby high chairs available and great for drawing on tables with crayons and be allowed
Great service!
Nikki was the BEST waitress I ve had at montanas! She has a great sense of humour and made our experience very enjoyable.
Nikki was amazing and very attentive. Always checked in to make sure we were doing OK and needed anything. Food was delicious and it definitely has the best spinach dip!! Food
Had the fish & chips and it was very good. Loved the Tarter sauce for the fish. Service was great also.
We had an absolutely excellent supper at Montanas in Saint John last night. Our server was Sylvia and she was so sweet and patient with my two little kids. We re from out of town and we go to Montanas often it s my son s favourite and he wanted to go last night while we visited. Him being only 6 even made a comment about how fast the service and food was to get to us. Even when they had a birthday party of over 40 people in the front and three other table filled with birthday people. It s always nerve racking going out to eat with your little ones especially my two year old who has cerebral palsy and cannot talk or sit easily in a high chair. We were given a table with an abundance of room for him and Sylvia couldn t have been kinder or more friendly didn t act annoyed like I have experienced many times before. I would 10/10 suggest everyone stop by and give the restaurant a try! Kid-friendliness: The serve Sylvia was so friendly, laughed and joked with my kids. She was very prompt and helpful cleaning up a spill and never made anyone feel bad she smiled and laughed with us. Wheelchair accessibility: My son has cerebral Palsy and they were able to give us a table without hesitation perfect to fit him and us comfortably.
Charlie is the most amazing server I have ever had!!
Food was good, the service was a bit slow, might very another night to see if its any better
I ordered Chicken Fajitas. Not a good dish to order here, because it doesnt taste good and bland . Not good value for the price paid and not authentic.
Southern fried chicken sandwich came with a handful of fries. Also it was supposed to be plain, but it has sauce and coleslaw. The BBQ burger we ordered is a brisket burger .
Montanas and their staff go above and beyond each and every time I visit, the service is fast whether in the restaurant, picking up or ordering through a 3rd party. One thing I really have to mention is there dedication to prolific service. Two times in one week I was so wowed I called to thank them. They helped a family member with accessibility issues twice and went above and beyond always. Consistant staff and great food and Ill give credit where its due. Parking: Easy to park lots of space.
Our server/waitress, named Jess, was top notch. She went above and beyond. She noticed straight away that my wife was not enjoying her main course and offered to get her something else. My wife was pleased with the opportunity to get something else - she did and enjoyed the rest of her meal. We were very pleased. To Jess, from Saint John NB - thank you for making our dining experience worthwhile. Parking: No problem finding parking.
Had an issue, they were good and made things right. Thanks Cash and Diana Food
Great meal, and good a good value.
My waitress was very friendly and very accommodating.Our dining experience was fantastic.ty
Never been to a Montanas before (from the US) and it was a fun, family friendly atmosphere. Food was decent. We would try again.
The air was very cold, the meat and ribs didnt arrive very hot, the service was the best, and the wings were very good
Waited at the door for 10 minutes so I left. Not worth the money at that rate.
Stella was a great server
Steve, our server, was terrific!
Always great service and food at this location. Jenna was lovely!
Excellent food and great service. Kids like it there too because they can always find something on the menu. Had all you can eat ribs. Now Im full.
nice restaurant
Went on Monday for 1/2 price wings, they were awesome, had the suicide, and they are just the perfect heat.
Could use a new dish on the menu once in a while, but great overall. Good service. Cold drinks. Hot food.
It was a busy night & the wait staff was working hard. Great service. Quite loud but as I said it was busy.
Montanas is just amazing the people the food the atmosphere everything. Food : 5/5
Cute waitresses to flirt with. Not sure if she gave her number to my brother in law that I tried to set her up with!! But it was a terrific meal and we all had a great time celebrating my wifes 65th birthday.
Great night out Parking: Easy access Food : 4/5 |
Very disappointing. Dont get spinach dip as they put maybe 4 shreds of cheese on top. Its suppose to come with pita and tortilla chips but no tortilla. My southern chicken maybe had 2 tablespoons of gravy on top for 22 bucks. Brought my cousin here for 60th bday and told waitress which at end of meal she said staff wouldnt come sing happy bday with her and she gave her a desert which was a cookie with freezer burnt ice cream. What a disappointment especially for a freaking 60th BIRTHDAY!!!!
Kudos to Andy for giving out such awesome service!! Will definitely visit again Food
Fantastic place to eat, very comfortable, good service and great food. Also child friendly.
It was great my server Sylvia was very kind and helpful
Friendly service and fun atmosphere. Wheelchair accessibility: It has excellent wheelchair access. Food : 5/5 |
Kind of sad this is one of the better restaurants in Saint John Ive experienced. I know its a backhanded compliment, but essentially, its just a commentary on the overall food service scene in the city. Ive eaten a lot of bad food at places, but Montanas wasnt one of them. They seem to always put forth a solid effort all around.
First time visiting here, food was great, service was great and the atmosphere was good too, late lunch so was fairly quiet and got seated no problem.
Vegetarian options: Great options Food
Awesome service! Main meal was ready just as we finished appetizers Parking: Lots Food : 4/5 |
Shout out to Melissa our server for great service and sense of humour (request a joke). Food was good, wings could have been spicier but still yummy. Ribs were done well and the fries didn t disappoint. Atmosphere; as long as you re not allergic to wood, it s fun and western . This visit, the service really impressed, thanks!
I had to change my review, thx to the management they addressed my complaint very profesionaly thx guys ! I recomend this place !!!
Very good ribs.
We had Alyssa and she was great today!
Big shout out to the staff and manager for last min booking for sports team
We stop by offen for supper. Riley has been our server a few times now. They always provide top notch service and great food. Management are lucky to have such a dedicated team member! Awesome job Riley!
Booked our reservation of 13 for a Birthday supper. Very accommodating, asked lots of questions pertaining to the guest and the birthday individual. Great service. Dietary restrictions: I was asked When making reservations if any of the guest had food allergies or any food concerns. Kid-friendliness: When booking our reservation, we were asked if any kids under 12 would be attending which is thoughtful because there was one in attendance.
Had a great supper on Saturday. Both kids mentioned that our server Andy was really nice!
Food was hot, delicious and fast. Service was excellent! Vegetarian options: The veggie burger is delicious! Food : 5/5 |
Our go to restaurant!
Never met that level of disrespect before at Montanas. All started because I asked for the kids drink to be served after the food. It was an eight years old boy birthday... I have been to Montanas several time with white coworkers and I have never been treated that way. If there was a problem, the manager on duty and the servers would come and try to fix it... The manager on duty tried his best today and even offered a $25 gift card that we declined. We already paid our bill and tipped them graciously.... The servers ignored the manager on duty.... or his remarks.... And you guess right... he wasnt a white manager... Thanks Montanas sj now I know... next time I will bring white friends with me
A friend and I were looking for a place to have dinner in Saint John and we rattled off in our heads kind of food we were craving and also thinking somewhere we havent been in a while. We both settled on Montanas and we are so glad we did. Although the restaurant was busy when we arrived the young lady at the front as we came in attended to us immediately and we were seated right away. Within a couple minutes our waiter James came over to the table and crayoned his name down on our butcher paper covered table and preceded to ask us if we were ready to order. He was attentive and friendly during our stay and his service was very good! The food was very delicious!! We will be back! Thanks! Bruce
Excellent experience, fantastic waiter Steve E. Thanks for making our evening enjoyable. Dietary restrictions: Able to stay Keto
Friendly staff. Had the 10 Oz steak which was perfect and the triple chocolate cake was very good but not too sweet. Kid-friendliness: Very helpful.
Amazing service, amazing food, amazing feeling!! Thank you Alanna!!
Alyssa went above and beyond for our service
Steve enman was my waiter and was hands down the best customer service of my life
Had the Nachos. Holy cow they were good. I had enough left overs for lunch for the next 2 days. And our server, Jenna, was very pleasant and professional. Checked on us a few times during our meal.
Brought our young daughter and the waitress brought over a high chair and brought her some crayons and an activity mat. Jess B was our waitress
Food and service were excellent Parking: Lots of parking Food : 5/5 |
Food was hit, fresh and yummy! Our server Jess was awesome.
It was busy. Service was quick and accurate. Ribs were perfect tenderness and steak was cooked exactly as it was requested. Kid-friendliness: Nice kids menu
We recently went Montanas for lunch, and it was outstanding - I had the 12oz striploin with potato smashers and a mushroom skillet on the side. The steak was cooked medium to perfection, the entire meal could not have been better! My husband had the rib & wing combo, the ribs were saucy and delicious, wings juicy. I cant say enough how good it was, totally recommend!
Amazing time at Montanas on the east side!!! Our waitress Sylvia had exceptional service!!! Very friendly and willing to help with anything(appetizers, meal, dessert and drinks!), all while having a very welcoming smile on her face!! Great job Sylvia thank you for making mine and my family s visit one of our best!!
i was very pleased with my experience and had amazing service! Parking: there is always plenty of open spots that is very close to the restaurant which is very convenient! Food : 5/5 |
We love Montana s. it is a family friendly restaurant, with great quality of food and service. Jess did a great job serving us.

Great service from a friendly ,engaging staff
Ryley and Tanya are very cheerful and friendly. Great service from their end. 5 stars for them! :) The manager argued with us and told us the chicken wings could not possibly be undercooked and that there was nothing wrong with them. Felt very disrespected by this manager and could not believe the audacity.
Amazing Jess.B
Delicious
Had to wait 10 minutes longer than the rest of my table for burnt food. Mashed potatoes were hard and the Server never checked to see if the meal was ok or if there were any concerns. Cornbread was hard like a rock. Very disappointed by this experience. I had to leave and buy something else cause I wasnt able to eat with my family.
Our lunch was great and our server Alyssa was so pleasant
Food is amazing. The people are happy and helpful. The place is very dark and the lamps over the tables are full of dust and cobwebs. If they where cleaned Id give it a higher raighting.
We had Jess as a waitress and she was wonderful. Personable, bubbly and quick to take our order. The food was delicious. We will definitely be back!
Jess was a great server. Asked us multiple times how are food was! Very good Parking: Great location Food : 5/5 |
Awesome food here! Alyssa provided top notch service!
They have 2 steaks. Thats it. 6 onion rings is a $3 add-on from fries Food
Nikki, our server, is the best. We have lunch every week and she always greets us with a smile and remembers our order.
My go-to place for a quick lunch. I appreciate the gluten free options, and Nikki (server) is likely one of the best in the business.
Ryley provided awesome service. It was the end of the night and she was still patient, friendly and attentive.
Excellent food and service. Sylvia was our waitress and we just thought she was so helpful and genuine. Great customer service really comes easy to her. It s nice to see and hard to find.
Ryley is amazing. She always makes sure our food is quick and hot! She s our favourite server! So friendly..I hope she s training everyone Parking: Sometimes it s pretty full and we will just drive by..unfortunately.
This place is awesome food is great service is great Parking: It s a great parking lot not far to walk to the front door Food : 5/5 |
My family and I had such a wonderful time during our last visit. Our server Jess was so helpful and kind! She took care of us really well and made some great recommendations!
We had server Jess!
The last visit we had was great! The food was delicious and we had exceptional service from our server Jess. We are looking forward to our next meal at Montana s! Dietary restrictions: The staff here was super accommodating and helpful with our gluten free dietary restriction.
Outstanding Experience at Montanas Thanks to Jessica! I recently dined at Montanas and I have to say, the experience was elevated by our server, Jessica. She was incredibly attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and had a warm, welcoming demeanor. Her recommendations were spot-on, making our meal an unforgettable experience. Its not often you come across service that genuinely makes you feel at home, and Jessica managed to do just that. Cant wait to return, and I hope to see Jessica there again!
Julia was super sweet at the Saint John location!

Amazing food and the drinks taste really good the service is excellent and good location for shopping and restaurants!!! Written By: Liam Van Stone Food
Ordered 7 oz sirloin with baked potato and coleslaw. The steak was tough, smaller than 7 oz, and the baked potato was not cooked all the way through. Coleslaw was good.Hubbys dinner had a tough steak,cool fries and they forgot his ceasar salad side.
Great experience Parking: Great location Food : 5/5 |
Great rack of ribs for me and Smokehouse Wrap for my wife Parking: Convenient handicap spots Food : 5/5 |
We love Montanas. The staff are helpful, friendly and happy and usually join in with a laugh and a joke. The only reason this visit dropped one star was because my stake was quite dry which just spoiled the visit a little.
Jess B. was super friendly and cheerful! Made our first visit special. Will definitely return.
My husband and I went in a while ago for dinner and Julia was our server. She was super friendly and made good recommendations. She was prompt in addressing us to take our order and checked up on us many times during our meal. We will be back!

Ordered online for delivery. Got the spicy chicken sandwich with a baked potato. The potato was still raw, barely warm to even melt butter the chicken sandwich was raw and also cold very disappointing since I did love Montana s
Yummy food, nice waiters, but usually busy so wait time is about 30min or more
Kid-friendliness: Great Food
