Montana's BBQ & BAR is a Canadian comfort food restaurant and sports bar that is famous for barbecue cuisine. Enjoy in-house smoked pork ribs, beef brisket, grilled steaks and juicy burgers which are paired perfectly with catching the game. Montana's Nanaimo celebrates fun-to-eat, finger-licking smoked and barbecued comfort food that breaks the 'proper' rules. Located near Lakeview Park & Regional General Hospital in the Northern end of Nanaimo, we are a short turn off of Island Highway North. Experience the fun, casual and unpretentious vibe, where you can laugh heartily, cheer on the game and enjoy your friends and family. We can't wait to serve you.

    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.
