The menu at Montana’s is a celebration of bold flavors and expertly crafted dishes. Their hand-helds, like the Brisket Burger, are a standout — imagine a juicy Angus beef patty smothered in Texas Bold BBQ sauce, crowned with tender, slow-smoked beef brisket, melted cheddar, crispy Cajun onions, and a smoky chipotle ranch on a toasted ACE Bakery® bun. It’s a mouthwatering masterpiece that perfectly balances smokiness, tang, and a satisfying crunch.

For those craving something more substantial, the Dig In Dishes offer a sizzling array of choices. Picture the BBQ Chicken Fajitas: tender grilled chicken strips infused with smoky BBQ goodness, served alongside vibrant peppers, onions, and all the traditional fajita fixings. Or indulge in the Steak Fajita, featuring a generous 7oz sirloin steak grilled to perfection, bursting with flavor and paired with fresh, vibrant accompaniments like diced tomatoes, lettuce, and creamy sour cream. Each dish is thoughtfully prepared to awaken your taste buds and satisfy your cravings.
Don’t forget to leave room for dessert—the “Sweet Stuff” at Montana’s is a decadent conclusion to the meal. The New York-style Cheesecake, rich and creamy with a buttery graham cracker crust, is served drizzled with chocolate fudge and English toffee sauce, layered with crumbled chocolate chip cookies for a delightful texture contrast. Or choose the Triple Layer Chocolate Cake, an indulgent stack of moist chocolate layers drizzled with warm toffee and fudge sauce that melts your worries away. Their Shake N Share Donuts—eight warm, freshly made mini donuts—offer a playful, shareable sweet bite to end your visit on a high note.

Jordan was an outstanding server and genuinely made the experience better from start to finish. They were friendly, attentive, and checked in at just the right times without ever feeling intrusive. Jordan knew the menu well, gave great recommendations, and made sure everything came out exactly how we wanted. You could tell they actually cared about the service they were providing, which is rare and really appreciated. Professional, upbeat, and efficient—Jordan is the kind of server you hope to get every time. Would 100% come back and ask for them again.

I came for girls night and had ribs, coleslaw, corn bread and fries and it was so yummy! The fries were seasoned and the ribs were perfectly cooked! I enjoyed it so much! Shout out to Rachel for her amazing service!

The place was great, and food was delicious. My server, Steph, was really friendly and checked on me occasionally to see how I was doing. This is a great place to go for a solo date and just take yourself (or others) out for a nice meal. Plus, I got a free appetizer card! I’ll definitely be coming back :)

Hands down one of the best servers I’ve had in a while. Darren was so on point the entire time warm, professional, and super attentive without hovering. He has this calm, confident vibe that makes you feel like you’re in good hands from the second you sit down. He nailed every part of the experience: checked in at the right times, remembered all the little details, and even made some great food and drink suggestions that totally hit. Honestly, you can tell he takes pride in his work. It’s rare to come across someone who balances great energy with efficiency so effortlessly. The food was amazing, but the service made it even better. Will definitely be back soon and hoping to land in his section again!

First time in Montanas and I would say, I'm really happy with the experience! Dustin (the waiter) was really kind and super servicial with us, give us great recommendations and the service was fast and efficient. The ambient its really amazing, cozy with that country cabin ij the woods with a charming "man cave" vibe, my wife and I love it. The food was great and the prices are great, are way more cheaper than other places and the portions are good. I would totally recommend it!

Montana's never disappoints From the moment we were greeted, we were looked after so perfectly. Made us feel welcome, seated us exactly to our requirements. Gave us great restaurant information. Drink and food specials were excellent even on a Friday! Their Long Island Iced Tea is the best version yet. Kapow shrimp and chicken fajitas were delicious, plentiful and good value. Server was very good. Restaurant clean, tons of TVs but quiet enough my wife and I could talk. Will come here more often.

We went to Montana's last weekend. We had a reservation, so we didn’t have to wait long to be seated. However, we waited about an hour for the food which was expected given that it was a busy weekend and the restaurant was full. The food was good and worth the wait!
