First off my server Dani was extremely friendly, professional and courteous. She made the experience better and was excellent at her job. I could tell she had a lot going on as there was 2 massive tables with big families in the centre of the room and she handled it all like a pro; kudos to her. I never once felt neglected, forgotten or rushed. Excellent server here. My issue was mainly with the quality and quantity of the food. I’ve been going here on and off for almost 20 years, and although I don’t expect thing to always stay the same, I understand the economy is rough right now and food is expensive, I found it to be a bit misleading and the portions are much smaller then they used to be. The steak has some extra tendons in it and was not as good as usual, the onion rings were tiny, and the chicken Caesar salad was pretty pathetic for $19+tax. The photo on the website shows the entire plate covered with 8 solid slices of chicken on top, the salad I got was half the size and a tiny portion of chicken. I get much better salads at Swiss Chalet tbh so I was really disappointed with this especially for the price. I don’t always expect the picture to look like the food (we all know that doesn’t happen anywhere) but to get half the portion I was expecting, for $19 is very disappointing. We ended up spending $120 on dinner for 2 and will not be making that decision again. I later found out they recently shrunk their portion sizes, well I’m letting them know that I noticed and I will not be back to order any of that again.

Myself and my daughter have been here twice recently. The food portions vs cost and atmosphere is great! Our first trip we had Ken and she was amazing. Our second trip we had Julia! She was so sweet and provided us with amazing customer service. Wonderful staff , great food.

I visited this restaurant for a team dinner, and the service was IMPECCABLE! From the drawing table with crayons to the staff who sang happy birthday we loved it all. I ordered the chicken burrito bowl, though I noticed that the crunchy corn tortilla bits were missing from my dish. My coach had ordered the same bowl, and hers included them. Given the already long wait time, I chose not to return it, as it didn’t greatly affect the meal; however, more consistency across dishes or a final quality check before serving would be appreciated. My teammate ordered chicken wings, which she enjoyed, although she noted that some pieces were unevenly coated, leaving a few spots on one side a bit dry. Other than that, the staff's attentiveness with refills and their genuine hospitality made for a fantastic evening. 2 of my other friends ordered the mac and cheese with buffalo chicken + bacon bites and it was amazing they said. P.S. I loved the bowl but I wished they had more sauces as the last couple bites even though mixed well the rice was dry.

This a very nice location! Great service, delicious food, and sports were on every tv, the perfect combination! The All You can Eat Ribs were absolutely fantastic, I would add more sauce flavours but other than that ribs were perfectly cooked! Corn bread was absolutely another level! Geez... I cannot even describe how good is this bread! You have to try it! Overall, it's a very great location + very good food, I would come back any time! Especially during special sport events! Oh, and they have good draft beer specials too! Not a big variety of beers but you will find the most popular ones!

I didnt go to Montanas. I went to John Bear Auto sales and bought a 2024 GMC van for my company. $60.000. A lot of money. I bought it from Shirley Griff, AKA, the queen. Very nice lady. I got along with her terrifìcly. Something tells me she gets along with all her customers. She just gives that vibe. There was a small mark on the passenger door, but it was taken care of immediately. So all things being said, Im very happy with the van, it suits its purpose perfectly. I would not hesitate to purchase another vehicle from John Bear.

We went to Montana s yesterday for dinner and after waiting for 45 minutes for food, we were hoping it would be good but the food was absolutely awful. I had chicken fajitas and my tortillas were cold and my chicken had just salt on it it was so bland. My husband had the steak with the lobster sauce and he didn t even finish it . It tasted like a cheap frozen steak. It was just such a disappointment and a waste of over $100+. Wish it was better as we were hungry and celebrating an occasion with the kids. Montanas seemed to have gone down hill as we use to go here very often.

First time eating here , we went for dinner. Hubby got a burger with canadian bacon and fries. Fries werent cooked, burger was ok. I had ribs and wings, not bad. Nothing spectacular. Service was awful, it was a bit busy, people were coming and going all the time we were there. I understand it can get busy, and I am a patient person. We sat at our table about 15 minutes before the waitress took our drink order, rye and coke was watered down. We figured we better order our food at the same times seeings the service was so slow. Another 15 minutes we got our food. Hubby says the mens washroom was disgusting, toilet paper cloggint the sink, not clean at all. Not a place that I would recommend to anyone to try. Sadly we probably wont be back. Its unfortunate the food and the entire meal was not all we thought it would be, especially after a friend recomended trying this restaurant. It was a bit busy, maybe the staff were a bit overwhelmed or short staffed in general. I am not one to complain about restaurants service unless it is bad, this is one of the times I must give a bad review.

December 9, 2024

Female employees behave very badly. If someone comes to pick up a delivery, they think that they will not get a tip so they ignore them and behave badly. So 1 star for staff service , I have completely ruined your mood today. I cancelled two deliveries due to the bad behaviour of the staff. Now I have not picked up any order from here. I will also pick up orders from here in the future. Thank you Montanas staff for For ruining my evening today.

The food: Ordered surf and turf with a medium rare steak that came out like shoe leather tough and dry and hard to cut through or even swallow. The lobster tail in the photos look bigger than the steak well my lobster tail looks like it had just been born because it was maybe slightly bigger than my thumb. Facilities: the mens washroom was disgusting and had so much urine on the floor you had to stand like 3 feet back and even that there was urine there. Best part is it was marked down clean probably 30 minutes before I was in there. Service: our waitress was very sweet and kind to our group but it took 3 hours for 3 with no entree. I swear I waited 30 minutes for the bill and was getting upset and felt like walking out because we had to be somewhere. I hate wasting my time complaining in person. People know what there allowing as acceptable to there customers and its truly sad. I will never be back.

Oct 22, 2024 Was seated at 7pm ordered around 7.10 our food showed up at 7.40 I had ordered steak and when I got it at was cold and looked like they threw it into the microwave no juices flowing; cold and tasteless. I automatically gave it back and the waitress says I ll be back in a minute, so I said you going to put that into the microwave? She says ohh did you want me to put it back on the grill? At this point I said no I don t want the dinner as soon as we finished our drinks we left. Never again will not recommend to anyone , the service was slower than a snail and the waitress was useless. She was leaning on tables while taking orders bent all the way down with her hands on her chin on the table. All these years I have n3ver seen a waitress lean on your table with half her body. Oh the manager came over to inquire what happened, she told me she will have a menu sent over and pick out something and it was on the house, never got the menu or anything on the house

First time going. It was busy evening but looked like plenty of staff there. My husband and I ordered well done steaks with baked potato. By the time we received our food everything was lukewarm. Steak. Potatoes onion rings. Tasted like it was sitting for awhile in kitchen. No one stopped by to check if everything was alright. When I mentioned to waitress when they wanted to bring bill all I got was and she walked away. Will not go back.

First experience with Montanas... I ordered well done, my steak was rare. Even after it was fully cooked as requested, there was waaay too much salt on the steak and fries. It almost made me sick. The staff was nice, though. I wasnt angry about it, just disappointed. My sister was happy with what she ordered. Her friend said his food was too salty as well, though he was able to stomach it better than me. To the cook, please ease up on the salt. I have no idea what happened, but with the ampunt of salt you added, you made the food inedible for me.

I love Montanas food and for me ordering from here is a special treat I rarely am able to afford. I have had a super hard year but with my last days of my vacation I decided I want to order from my favourite place. Unfortunately, my wrap pita was burnt on the edges, my steak was not med well and more like med rare, fries were soggy and a much smaller amount then normal. I feel like since I ordered online there is very little I am able to do to have it fixed. If I was in the resturant then the food would have 100% been sent back. Please do better for your online order customers.

Overall disappointment took my wife and two kids to go for a celebration before our oldest daughter starting school and will never be back. Server clearly overwhelmed but spent talking to other tables and not paying attention that kids didn t get their drinks till they finished their food, Me and my wife waited over 45 mins before we got our food which was sitting chicken dry and pulled pork dry messed up my order then we waited longer to even get our kids desert. Long story short you want poor service and food that was sitting come during dinner and pray you have more then one server why we go to Kelsey s cause at least they care about customer s plus no manager came to speak to us just had the server apologize which in the end all she could do but seeing that a manager didn t even come up to say anything speaks volume.

September 23, 2024

Came for lunch with my husband, grandmother, and daughter. I got the lunch trio and it was hardly edible. I got the pot roast soup which was so salty it burned my lips. The ceasar salad was way overdressed. The brisket sandwich was cold to the point the shredded cheese on top was just falling off. It tasted like they warmed it in the microwave. Just gross. There was maybe 8 people in the restaurant total so there is no excuse that it was too busy. It was pure laziness or just a poor chef. Nothing was prepared with any type of care and it was all lackluster. Wont be back.

I am not sure if the management or ownership has changed at this location but the quality of food has gone way down from what it used to be. My daughter and I visited the restaurant Saturday around 4:30. It was not very busy at all, maybe 6 tables were seated in the whole restaurant. We ordered our drinks and the loaded pull apart garlic bread as a starter. We received our drinks almost right away and our server took our dinner order. It took a little bit of time for our appetizer to be brought to the table and it looked great but it tasted like the bread used was frozen to begin with and just barely warmed up enough to not be cold in the middle. It was a little disappointing since we have had cheesy pull apart bread from here before and it was always very good. Once we were done our appetizer, we waited for quite some time for our mains. About 20-25 minutes later our server came to let us know our food would be out soon and they apologized for the wait. My meal was the 10oz steak with a herb butter topping and loaded bake potato. The steak was cooked properly I will say that however the garlic butter on top was a cold circle of butter and herbs. It was not softened in anyway and very difficult to spread across the steak as intended. The baked potato was not cooked all the way and looked like it had been sitting out for a few days. The loaded portion was a pinch of bacon bits and a few pieces of grated cheddar cheese. Definitely not worth the $4-5 extra I was charged. Our server was great, very attentive and kind. It was just the quality of food that was disappointing. Not sure if we will try again, I expected better quality for the money that I spent.

Visited this location today for a family dinner and we beyond enjoyed our meal on the Patio in the sun. Wasnt extremely busy, the outside was well kept, our server (Alex and another young woman, if we can recall correctly) were extremely polite & kind! Everything was relatively quick from us sitting down, to drinks ordered & food coming out. Food was excellent (did ribs, Canadian burgers and something else), portions were reasonable, service was honestly great and after a recent (not so great at all) experience the day prior at another restaurant chain in our home city, this was a pleasant change of place on our family day out & choosing not to cook for the night. Will definitely be back to enjoy the patio again.

We went on June 25th to celebrate my birthday. My husband got the Chicken Fajitas which he liked, I ordered the Chicken Burrito Bowl which I have had before and quite enjoyed. This time was different, It was not made in the same way as the last time I had it. The rice was flat, not fluffy at all and was kind of goey, stuck together with melted cheese. The flavour of the vegtables was ok but there was way too much corn and about three black beans. The chicken was ok. When the food was brought out mine was just luke warm and was cold by the time I was finised. The waitress said that was because what they put on top of the rice is cold. Not a good idea!

Came here for dinner tonight with my spouse and baby. We chose to wait for a booth which was fine, and waited roughly 20 minutes. After sitting down, we waited around 20 minutes for our drink order, 35 minutes for our drinks to arrive, and 45 minutes for our appetizer and kids meal, which were to come out together so our son could start eating. By this point, our son was not interested in eating and began getting upset. Our meals came out almost right after our appetizer, which we werent done eating. The meat was fatty and tough, with giant chunks of white fat throughout, unchewable and most did not get eaten. Our sons meal went untouched minus a few bites of fries. I ordered a pickle Caesar and I didnt get the deep fried pickle it comes with until after our meal arrived and my drink was done (keep in mind, this is almost an hour after ordering) and the excuse was the kitchen staff wanted to prioritize meals which isnt my problem as a paying customer, especially considering it was dying down in the restaurant and no longer in a service rush. I ended up having to leave with my son before finishing my meal because he began crying excessively from being tired. My meat aside from being tough was also cooked very unevenly, I ordered a medium rare and it ended up being rare in the middle and outside of the direct center, it was more so medium well to well done. All in all, we still paid $70 after being discounted for a meal we didnt even get the chance to enjoy, as we left with our meals unfinished. Our time of arrival was just after 8pm and we didnt leave until 10pm. This was totally unacceptable in every way, and any other restaurant would have comped the meal in its entirety due to the continuous failures on behalf of the restaurant. Considering we came with a baby, you would think the service would be a bit better and they would want us to be on our way sooner than later. The couple that came in about half an hour after our arrival got their meal before us and finished their meal as we were getting ours. One of the worst restaurant experiences weve ever had.

I usually wait to write a review however I just got home from a brutally poor customer service experience. I am a single gal who eats out almost every night and I like to sit at the bar and have a few drinks and eat after work. As soon as I sit down I should be greeted and I am not, I wait and wait and wait. Almost 10 minutes later she finally comes over. I Honey?! she says. Bad, I am not your honey. I order my favorite antojitos and have my drink. Finish my drink and wait and wait and wait. Yes I would like another, Honey. Brutal! Ask me my name, Kennedy. That is your name. I was going to leave after that but decided to order fish and chips to go. I could have had at least 3 more drinks but she was so pitifully slow and not on the ball I just paid and waited for my to go food. I have noticed from my 3 years gone and my recent return to a city from small town 1600 people in Nunavut that the big chains have lost the mark at their bars. They are not busy and the bartenders are not friendly at all. Not sure what is going on and why the niceties have gone away.? Kelseys, Montanas, Jack Astors and the like just have really bad bar keeps and the focus is on the restaurant which really isnt that busy either. And the wait staff help the bar keeps. So they have no excuse to avoid, ignore and just plain out blow you off when you arrive. And not stay on top of you at the bar. I will stick to the small establishments that actually care.

First of all, the place is hard to access if you dont know where youre going. We ordered steak with baked potato and coleslaw. Waitress brought us baked beans and potato was cold. Of course, by the time she got to kitchen and nuked potato, the steak was lukewarm. Cant say I enjoyed any of it. Then the waitress comes with the Bill and debit machine and were still waiting for our Apple crisp dessert. Btw, when it came, it was the hilite of the meal. Delicious. I get a chance to look at the bill and menu said 10 oz steak $29.99 but our bill said $32.99. I asked why and she said the extra cost was the typical little packets that all restaurants have, of sour cream and butter for our potato. Three (3) bucks for something everyone else gives away. Ok so its calculated into the price in most places but not here. Not going back and that was my easy going husband. I agreed.

March 23, 2024

The most terrible place to be. Felt unwelcome and didn t want to offer a service at all to my family and I. Those who came after us were all seated by the hostess and as for my family and I, we were ignored as if we didn t even exist. We waited over 25 minutes waiting to be seat yet nothing happened. My husband finally waved the hostess while she was looking at our direction and pretended not to see us. Then my husband spoke and asked what is the protocol and why we are not seated. Then she replied we don t have any seat unless you want to sit at the bar or you have to wait until a seat becomes available. When then asked how long it may take she then replied rudely I don t know may 45 minutes then she proceeded to attend to the other customers. Mind you, we have now waited over 35 minutes or even more. Note, that over 3 other families plus 2 other couples who also came in after us were all seated. As I made mentioned prior, we felt unwelcome. This is the worst of service we have ever gotten from such establishment. My family and I eat at this food chain restaurant at least twice a week. This is not acceptable and we will no long will be supporting such establishment and will take our business else where we are appreciated and treated with respect. I wish instead of 5 stars there should also have negative 5 five stars and beyond.

Hey just wanted to leave a quick note about my chill afternoon visit this past Sunday, which was all made possible by the bartender Miranda. She made my much needed Caesar to perfection and exactly how I had asked for it to be made. More importantly, the experience that she was able to provide was exactly what I was looking for and expected. I feel bad because when I was paying the machine asked if I would recommend Montana s and I hit no by mistake. This should not be reflective of my experience with Miranda and I would actually prefer if I didn t have to answer the question every time I pay. Thanks again Miranda and the rest of the front of house team who was working Feb 4th between 130-3pm. I look forward to seeing you soon. Joe

Ive eaten at Montanas many times over the years but I have to say I think this was my last time. Seating is extremely uncomfortable, Im not sure when they updated their lighting but no matter where you look you have bright light bulbs shining in your eyes. I had to track down my waitress multiple times to get simple things like cutlery, napkins or a refill. I ordered a lunch combo platter which included a small soup, half sandwich and small salad. I ate the sandwich first and it small but was okay. I had their pot roast soup which tasted gritty and gelatinous at the same time, I offered it to my son and when I was giving it to him some of it spilled on the table, I had to tracked down the waitress for napkins (wed already requested napkins that never came) I said I had spilled some soup so we may need a cloth. She told me shed come when she could and then proceeded to go into the kitchen and yell at the kitchen staff that our table needed more soup because I had spilled it. Apparently the cook didnt understand because she needed to yell it at them three to four more times before coming out with more soup and no napkins or cloth. The waitress seemed very annoyed with me when I again asked for napkins and at this point she was not the only one annoyed so I pointed out that I had not asked for more soup but for napkins and she rolled her eyes. The salad was some greens with a half a cucumber slice, large onions and couple cherry tomatoes. My compaian had a burger and fries, he said the burger was good but very greasy and the fries were cold but would have been good if they were hot. Our bill came to just under $50 and thats not including the tip that I still felt obligated to leave.

Was a great place that my family would use to celebrate special events like birthdays (which was the reason for todays outing). Note I said was... Went today about 1:30pm and waited 10 minutes for someone to make an appearance. One customer sitting at the bar, one person at a booth in the bar side, two tables with two people each in the dining room side that we could see... but not...one...server. No bartender either. Sadly this isnt the first time weve been left hanging. The other time was about two months ago on a Sunday evening around 8pm where we sat at the table for 12 minutes without being seen to or offered at least a drink. This will mostly be the last time we attempt to go here or even make a takeout purchase. If there was the option for zero stars I would have selected that as it was that bad. We dont like being ignored if we choose to go someplace for an outing and that is how we have been made to feel. From now on we will go inconvenience somewhere else.
