    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.
