My server Tyler was great. Friendly, not hovering but not invisible. The pull apart cheesey garlic bread was fantastic as was the BBQ Brisket sandwich that I took home. They were the best part of the meal and the reason why I would go back again. The wings were OK and the gravy was good but the ribs were disappointing. They were fall off the bone, but just didn't have the same deliciousness as they used to have. I also had the apple crumble, which sadly was one of the worst that I have ever had.

This was absolutely the worst meal I have ever had in Montanas ...! The ribs were tough and the wrong flavor from what I had ordered. The coleslaw was bitter with no dressing. The beans were just ok and only the good part of the meal was the cornbread.

Noch am Dessert verspeisen und die Bedienung fragt nicht nur, ob sie die Rechnung bringen kann, sie bringt das programmierte Zahlterminal gleich mit und steht wartend daneben. Gastronomisch unterhalb jeder Gürtellinie.
