    We had a really delicious meal, my partner had the all you can eat ribs which were not only delicious but he really got his money's worth, if not double (although he can barely move now). At the start it took a while for them to bring the refill plates but towards the end they were filling the table. We were also allowed to take the leftovers home which was very nice. I have the beef brisket burger which was great and well seasoned. Their long Island iced teas were yummy too. Pretty average pricing and good service. Will be back

    We reserved a table requesting a quiet corner and the staff set us up in a quiet nook away from the main dining area that was perfect for our needs. The staff was friendly and helpful.

    We had a reservation (three senior ladies) and were seated in a booth in the far back corner beside the kitchen and next to noisy families. Waitress didn't smile and was not engaging. There were frequent very loud bumps coming from the other side of the wall we were sitting next to. We have eaten here three times within the last three months as we found the food to be good, however this dining experience will give us pause to dine here again in the near future.

    Food was cold. Service was amazing. Won't go back because of the quality of the food. Very poor for how much you are paying.

    Love Montana’s usually! Went for the Surf and Turf and those that had it, loved it! The ribs were a huge disappointment tho. Super dry - almost like they had been reheated. Just super sad cuz we were really looking forward to a god rib feast!

    It was another great dining experience at Montanas. The server was efficient and friendly, as usual, and overall, it was a wonderful lunch experience.
