A bit 'meh' on this occasion due to the combination of disinterested waitress and burnt stake, as you can see from my pictures. A bit annoyed that in this time and age, some people calling themselves 'chefs' still manage to burn a steak. My other...half was happy with his poutine and this steak was OK. Why does this always happen to me? (I remember a cartoon character crying). Not nice.More

Just passing through the city and stop to celebrate an anniversary and have dinner. The restaurant was busy but service was quick. Ample parking. The washrooms were clean and well stocked. The prices were right on par. The food was good. I have no complaints...with that. This was a four-star review but what made it a five star review is our server. Nothing makes or breaks a restaurant or establishment faster than a poor server. Our server Anna was just playing perfect. Simply based on having a good experience with the server we will definitely visit again when we pass through the city. CheersMore

We came to this place before a spot of shopping in this area and we found the same great food served by very young girls as in the other Montana's we have been to in the past. Our steaks were OK but not memorable and...the food was served with a smile until we left the not busy place during the week: peace, quiet and food we could digest quietly - what more do you want? One would ask.More

We ate here last weekend with our daughter and it was fantastic. Loved the SMS table reservation, works perfectly. We had a really tasty meal and the waiter was very friendly. Our daughter is a fussy eater and even though she's an older teen, the...waiter was so good about giving her a kids menu to order from, and even joked around with her a bit to put her at ease for asking. Overall a great time and well worth the price we paid. Would highly recommend Montana's in Brantford! After just posting a poor review of the waaay overpriced restaurant across the street for thinking they are something they are most definitely not, I figured I better showcase a roadhouse that provides a great dining experience at a price point that is spot on.More

If I could vote 0 stars I would. We (my partner and I) decided because we had a Cara gift card that we would try Montana’s. Either of us had been there for years. We remembered good quality food and service, but it has been...years. We ordered the southern chicken and the macaroni. The dishes came extremely quick. I mean 5 mins quick which was odd, retrospectively it makes sense. The “southern” chicken was so dry you can crack it. Vegetables and fries just dehydrated AF. Obviously, all under a heater for many hours. The macaroni was undercooked, soupy, tasteless and definitely not worth $15.99; a box of KD would have been better. Our server never checked to see if the food was satisfactory. We sat there waiting to express our concerns for generously at least 30 mins. Our beverages were empty, multiple servers ignored us offering no service the entire time. The server finally came after I didn’t eat and sat there for what seemed to be forever because I was hungry. I told her how horrific the meals were. No conversation, she took the empty glasses and didn’t give any explanation. Leaving my disgusting food in front of me and left us for another 10 mins. She came back finally and said the food was compensated without management, an explanation or apology. I worked in my early 20s in the Cara restaurant business and that was beyond unprofessional. Management didn’t care!! Didn’t offer another entrée NOTHING. The Cara gift card was from a neighbour we helped out and guess what…we’re all very close and located in a hamlet close to Brantford. Now they all know to never go there. Word of mouth!!! AVOID don’t waste your time and money.More

We recently visited Brantford and went out for dinner at Montana’s, it was a Saturday night and there was a little bit of a wait but less than the initial wait time then predicted.

My wife and I found ourselves without children and decided to enjoy a lunch together. We had been to this Montana's restaurant previous, (some time ago) and our experience wasn't all that. But that was pre-covid times. The hostess greeted us with a smile and...lead us to a table right away. Our server, Anna greeted us, took our drink order and made recommendations for lunch. She was very friendly, efficient and always approached our table with a smile. The food was absolutely delicious. The ribs...fall off the bone good! The fries were an after thought and the cornbread, well it lacked something. Yes, it lacked that cornbread flavour you'd expect from a southern style restaurant. But that is the worst of our meal, if you can call it a bad thing. Service was fast and we enjoyed our time here together. We will be back.More

Four of my family went to the Montana’s in Brantford on Saturday, March 27 for an early supper. Two of us had the rib and wing combo and we both were really disappointed in the ribs, especially given Montana’s advertising about their fall-of-the-bone tenderness. Both...of ours were anything but tender. Neither of us even finished them. What a disappointment. I won’t be getting their ribs againMore

My meal when it arrived was no more than lukewarm. I caught the server's attention and she immediately set about correcting this for me, apologized and brought me a very hot meal. She was attentive and checked periodically that everything was ok. The meal was...delicious and plentiful. It was a very busy night and with all the extra work because of convid, these servers were literately running back and forth for their customers. My hats off to these servers who continued to smile and be gracious under these conditions. Thanks Montana in Brantford for a wonderful visit.More

Our kids played hockey and we would always end up going out for some food after at some point. One of the dads said one time let’s just go to Montana’s it’s never to busy to seat all of us. There is a reason why!...To me it almost seems like the food is all precooked and they just warm it up. Nothing worse then going out and paying for food that is just plain and your like man I really do t want to finish this or even pay for it. Here is a question I need some help with. So when you go out to a restaurant there is an expectation to have to pay for a tip. So what if the service is good but the food really sucks is there an obligation to tip? This drives me crazy my wife feels that you always have to tip.. I feel if you have to ask for a drink or have to call them over for something and they don’t check back with you if you require something then why should I tip???More
