Montana’s Cookhouse

My wife and I got a gift card from some friends for Christmas (one of the ones you can use at multiple restaurants) and decided we wanted to try Montana’s as we had never gone to one before. We got there around lunch time, and it was quite quiet. We were seated promptly, and were brought our drinks. We then decided to order an appetizer. Our appetizer was good, though over priced.
Then came the time to order our main course. My wife and I had settled on steaks, and as we ordered the waitress said «Oh I forgot to tell you, we’re actually out of steak»… What the heck kind of steakhouse doesn’t have steak!!! Had we not already ordered an appetizer, we would have up and left right there… Also, don’t tell me you «forgot» to tell us. We ended up getting burgers… Which was apparently «an amazing burger» according to the waitress, but was actually a below average burger.
All in all, save your time and hard earned money, and don’t go here.

Well. I was thinking that this place doesnt deserve my time in writing a review, but then I remembered there might be someone out there who I can save from yet another horrific over priced meal.
A business colleague suggested Montana’s for a quick lunch and a meeting. Went in at 3pm on a Tuesday, the place is empty. That right there should tell you something? Anyway the service was good and the place was clean. However, the food was just pathetic especially for the price. Buddy had chili and a Caesar salad, both looked like they were canned (canned salad? I know I never thought I would see such a thing till Montana’s today).
I had the pulled pork flat bread $ 9.99. Heh. Wow. I guess it looked ok in the pictures, I was expecting something like the flat bread you get at Boston pizza. you know, actually good? This thing was a pile of slop really, and it had some kind of sour cream or Kraft salad dressing or something on it that was just horrific. I couldn’t even really eat the whole thing, only ate about half just to make it look like i was eating at a business lunch. I didnt complain in front of a client either, I just won’t be returning .
I don’t have any idea how a place like this stays in business. Are there actually people who like this? Won’t return, cant recommend, and I am baffled that anyone would ever go here twice.

Came for lunch with the hubby, we were only the third table in the place when we were seated just before noon.
It took over 20 min for the food to arrive. This is where things go way down hill… Hubby’s bison burger and fries looked like a kiddies portion, for $ 17– put some food on the plate!!! And remember to put the bacon you charging extra for on the burger, then, while you at it some beef in the pot roast soup wouldn’t go a miss! The broth and veggies were tasty but there was no meat in the bowl.
Now the piece de resistance, when the server was flagged down and told the burger had no bacon, she did apologize, whisked the plate away and returned a few minutes later with a cheery «we found some bacon, enjoy» and put the plate with the now cold fries and the partially eaten burger with bacon sticking out from under the bun, ewwwww who handled that?
Will never go back! This was the second visit and the last!

Every time I’m here the service is worse and worse. I’ve been here twenty minutes and she hasn’t even brought us water yet. Very rude people don’t know the value of a customer

Service and atmosphere are pleasant as expected, but that’s where it stopped the food was terrible my wife’s was inedible. You would expect a place like this to be able to cook a steak. I would never go back.

I found the service here was very good, lots of checking in on us to see how we were doing. We had to wait for seats but is was a Saturday night.
We ordered two types of steaks and antojitos stuffed burger. The food was descent but every piece of meat was charred black including the burger patty on one side. Please let us know if you are going to burn the food!

Greeted and seated promptly. Drink order taken right away. Server pointed out new menu items. Ordered the NEW Antojitos stuffed burger. Then the waiting began took 25 minutes to get our food. Table that ordered 10 minutes after us got their burger before us? Burger appearance was ok patty was over cooked and dry Luke warm small portion of warm fries as well deep fried pickle on top. When you charge $ 15.00 for a burger you have to be better than the local fast food burger joints.

We came here for a bday celebration. Since we had a reservation we were seated promptly. The service was consistent and very friendly.
I ordered the brisket sandwich which was tender, juicy and flavorful. My bf got the Firecracker burger which was very filling, the sauce had lots of flavor but not so much the burger itself and it was lacking in heat.
I had the outback whiskey drink which was WAY TOO SOUR and there was so much lime, lemon and orange in it that it was filled with pulp and seeds which made it very difficult and not too enjoyable to drink.
Will go back again but will stick with the draft. ;)

We were warmly greeted and quickly seated. It helps to go early on a Monday evening I guess. Our waitress was so nice and friendly and most importantly attentive!
I had some new items on their menu. Fried green tomatoes and a poutine. Both were very yummy and filling.
Prices were reasonable and potions are large. Very decent for a chain restaurant. We always love their ribs.

This is our standby restaurant — we love the firecracker shrimp SO good! We get them every time we go. I had the pot roast — holy heck… it was delish! The pot roast was perfectly cooked, so tender and really flavorful. The gravy was nice and dark and very good. I don’t know if i’ll be able to order anything else from there now! I’ve had their burgers in the past and they are just ok. My step-​son always orders the pulled pork and he loves it. Cant get him to order anything else either!
We always get very attentive servers. Bringing refills of our drinks before they are even done .I like that kind of attention to detail.
Now I’m thinking of pot roast again… sigh…I’m a fan!
