+.5 for service This is the Montana's on Empress Street, near Polo Park. Out of all the Montana's I've been to in the city, this is easily the busiest. I'll be the first to state that Montana's is never my first choice when it comes to good food. However every so often I don't mind coming here as the experience is kinda cool, especially if someone's celebrating their birthday. As of the writing of this review, Montana's is having a beef brisket special, which is actually not terrible. I had their BBQ brisket sandwich, and honestly it was good. The brisket was juicy and plenty, and the Texas Bold BBQ sauce has always been consistent. Service was good here, no complaints at all. I wouldn't say no to dining here, at least the food is edible. A bit pricey though. read more

Montana's - BBQ Brisket Sandwich - Steakhouses Near Me - Winnipeg, Manitoba

Food is always delicious and only thing I would recommend is plan ahead sometimes can get busy so u might have to wait.

The smoked chicken wings were crispy on the outside and juicy inside, full of smoky flavor. The ribs had a tangy glaze that balanced sweetness and spice. The pulled pork was tender and paired well with their house sauce. I also enjoyed the cornbread, which was moist and buttery. The staff was attentive without being intrusive. A BBQ experience worth recommending. read more

I have never eaten at Montanas in my life,hard to figure.Had a craving for ribs last night and ordered thru one of delivery services.Chose the pork ribs with 2 sides.Let me address the ribs,they were delicious,chose the Texas sauce,very tasty but not overwhelming,l had the full rack,which was a huge portion.The ribs were cooked perfectly,fell off the bones, tender and no fat,very impressed.The sides were disappointing, beans,the portion was real small and the fries were real soggy.Cornbread muffin was ok.But l placed the order for the ribs not the sides and was impressed, just delicious When l have a real hunger will go in person for the all u can eat.Like ribs,go to Montana s! read more

You could improve by serving your customers. We visited the St. Vital location today for lunch and we waited for service. After a while and not being offered even a beverage we got up and left. Terrible! read more

Got the Buttermilk Chicken with veggies and mashed potatoes and it was pretty good. Environment was pretty fun and loud, and our server was really friendly. Think that this is a great place to go to for celebrations with larger groups, you can be as loud as you want and dishes are about an average of $30 per person read more

Montana's - a plate of meat with gravy and green beans - Steakhouses Near Me - Winnipeg, Manitoba

Awful on every aspect, they did my order wrong TWICE in a row, not very important, but the food does not represent a "grill" or anything like that, steak was awful, chicken wings were okay, really loud place, I couldn't talk read more

Great service,great food. Always my family's go to Montana's,after trying the others in Winnipeg,this one is the best. Started with the spinach dip,just tasty. My wife's steak was perfectly cook,she loved the onions and mushrooms.My daughter loved her kids pizza with bacon and her cotton candy drink,and the nachos were amazing as always. Michelle went out of her way to make my family feel welcome,thank you!!!! The whole staff seems to go out of their way for you.Great job to everyone that works there. We will definitely be back a lot!!! read more

OMG terrible on every level except the waitress was OK. Went with dog park group, 11 of us, admittedly some found the food good. But having said that they got there orders wrong. Almost chocked when I say the bill - could and should have gone to the Keg for the same money. read more

This is a favourite for the boyfriend and I!! We often find ourself choosing Montanas over any other restaurants in the city. Its moderately priced. The food is always amazing. The service is fast and friendly. And we always end up disgustingly full and satisfied! read more

Very pleased with our meal here. I had a sliced beef plate. It comes with two sides and a small piece of cornbread. The beef was very thinly slice and very lean and delicious. Dining partner got ribs and was very pleased. Have to say that we were greeted warmly and immediately upon our entrance. Our server was fantastic. read more

I come here probably once every 6 weeks - I like it here. My favourite is the buttermilk chicken plate. The service is always friendly. Tonight the music was terrible. It was loud and "tinny" and they were playing music that didn't match the venue. But - it's generally really good here read more

I used to be a huge fan of Montana's, id even say it was my number one favourite restaurant, but my last couple experiences were completely unsatisfactory, tonight I got a steak and the kapow shrimp appetizer and the steak was definitely not 7 oz it was ridiculously small, undercooked, ice cold, and every single bite I took had some sort of gristle or sinew in it, it had absolutely no flavor. I paid 84 dollars after delivery for the steak, the appetizer, and a burger. absolutely rediculous price for what I received. I don't know if they have new chefs or owners but this last experience was enough for me to never visit, order from, or recommend their restaurant to anybody ever again, i am extremely disappointed with the quality of what I received for the price I paid. from now on I will not be going to their restaurant anymore. I would give 0 stars. read more

On a trip across the Trans-Canada Highway, I stopped here for dinner. Not Bad. It was a good, filling dinner after a long day on the road. But, it was the dessert that really won me over... I was pretty shocked to find a cheesecake wrapped in a tortilla! Coming from Southern California, I was extremely skeptical about this strange use of tortillas. So I had to try the "Decadent Tortilla Cheesecake", of course. Wow... to whoever came up with this menu item... you should get a bonus. It is "4-star delicious"! California definitely has a lesson or two to be learned from Canadian chefs about 'Mexican' cuisine. I would love to see a dessert like this offered a little closer to home. read more

New management doesn't always mean good things. We have been semi-regulars at Montanas for several years now. We have over-looked the sketchy bathrooms, overall "sticky" feeling and poor quality televisions because the staff have always been welcoming and great to be around. When we heard new management was taking over, we figured ok, maybe some improvements will finally be made. Well we were wrong! Now the shabby decor is more obvious when a lot of the regular (and wonderful) staff seems to have left and the food quality has gone down. Our last meal this past weekend was served by a rather cranky waitress who forgot to put orders in, forgot about us for lengths of time while fawning over what appeared to be a boss and barely made us feel like our experience was something she cared about. The food. Wow how the quality has dropped. It was barely warm by the time she felt like serving it, the portions were noticeably smaller and my husband's steak was so overdone that he didn't finish it. My ribs were dried out and the chippers were so oily, they were limp and soft. Other guests in our group complained of barely warm food and overall dissatisfaction with food and service. Montanna bosses (but not the one wooing waitresses) I think you need to re-evaluate your new management and staff. Someone has dropped the ball in the last few months and I know we won't be returning anytime soon as a result. read more

Came here based on Yelp reviews and it was close to our hotel Hampton inn. We got the sampler for 2 and we still had alot of food even with our 2 young kids. Service was fast and friendly. They have brown paper over the whole table to color while waiting. The ribs were AMAZING! We would come back for the ribs specifically! read more

AMAZING !!!! Would recommend coming and buying a steak very flavourful and cooked perfectly I will definitely be returning back

I must say, my husband and I were pretty surprised about this place. The hostesses and servers were friendly. Food was as expected, not really a fan of their own sauce. But this is definitely a place to hang out with family and friends. Plus it's not going to put you in debt. read more

No surprises. Comfortable interior. Ate in the bar. Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. Pork Ribs were good. Chicken wings (smoked flavour) were dry and not particularly tasty. Wouldn't have them again. read more

Went last night (Monday) and sat in the lounge as it was half off wings night. We were greeted promptly and sat in the lounge. Hostess was pleasant. Our server was prompt. Also found out she was the bartender as well. She was nice but took awhile in taking our order and presenting the bill. The lounge was half packed so it took awhile for her to take our order. Should have had another server. Menu's were giant...almost like reading the newspaper. Too big in my opinion from their past menu which was more manageable. Wanted to wash my hands so off to the bathroom I go. The bathroom needs a serious deep cleaning and update. The faucets didn't match. Wish it was hands free operation as with current standards today. Food came at a decent time and was hot and fresh. The wings were good as usual and the Canadian burger was on par. Fries were just a bit undercooked. Overall, the experience was OK. It's not the same as it was when I last visited a few years ago. This establishment seems to be missing its pizzazz. read more

The food is on par with similar chain restaurants. Not bad but not great. I do like their Kapow! Shrimp with the sauce on the side. Most of my trips here included their sirloin or half chicken which were both good as well. I was unimpressed with their entree salads. This place gets very busy in the evenings so expect a wait. The bar is open seating but there are usually groups of people hovering for a table opening. The staff is friendly and the management attentive. If dining in the winter steer clear of any seats in the doors path as you may freeze to death! read more

I came here for the first time ever with my grandparents and it was better than I had expected. My grandparents talked about the restaurant before and said it was good, so I tried. Definitely not disappointed! read more

Always seem to be in town Wednesday nights, All you can eat Ribs...amazing Back ribs! Texas Bold and Apple Butter sauces are my favorite. Coleslaw , baked beans and Cornbread as sides and I'm a happy man. read more

Montana's has taken a big step down since their early days in the city. The service can be ok, but usually is subpar, and no matter what the business level is our food always takes an extremely long time. A lot of times it's made incorrectly or seems like it was just slopped together. I'm surprised they're still in business to be honest. read more

Ok food. Steak was way over cooked and service was a little slow. The beans that come with the steak are a tiny little cup full. Bread costs extra as well. read more

I ordered the brisket platter for $16.99. The meal came and to my surprise it was very small. Very unlike Montanas. Their meals are normally huge. I've had larger appetizers for half the price. When I questioned the server, her answer was simply that's the way it is. read more

Came here with my family and friends for lunch. We waited an hour and a half for our orders to come and when they came, my steak was way over done and my daughter's steak as well. They poured the gravy into the steaks when it was supposed to be on the side and they forgot to bring the corn. My mom ordered a steak and shrimp combo, the steak was overdone and the shrimps were nowhere to be found. My friends' steaks were all over done and they put baked potatoes instead of mashed as ordered. On the positive note, the manger was very apologetic and she took care of things right away and gave us a discount for the inconvenience. I'm not sure if we will come to this place again. Their other restaurant in St. Vital did a lot better the last time we were there. read more

The last two visits our food has arrived cold. It kind of kills the old appetite. Why don't they pay more attention to detail.

Over an hour to wait for our lunch. We went on Thursday for lunch. We noticed a larger group seated in side and we went to sit on the patio. A table of 6 soon also sat outside. The other table ordered their food and then we did. About 10 minutes later a table of 4 came and ordered. After about 50 minutes and no food we asked the waitress to check on our food. She came back and said 5 minutes. After 15 minutes the last table in got their food. Another 5 minutes and 4 of our 5 lunches came out, then another 5 minutes before the last one. We talked to the manager who ended up comping us the meal. This still doesn't make the experience any more enjoyable. I cannot comment on the food because I was upset over having to wait over an hour for lunch after it was ordered. By the way the first table in never did get their food while we were there. If you go you might want to ask on how long you will be waiting for your meal after it is ordered. On last thing, this is not the first time this has happened at this location. Still have not been back here read more

Went there on a Sunday afternoon for lunch, after shopping at Polo Park, Waitress was OK but the time it took to get the food was frustrating, since it wasn't too busy (found out why once we ate) I ordered a simple chicken burger which was supposed to be new on the menu, chicken was over cooked, sauce was bad and there was too much of it. even the garlic toast wasn't very dood, and the side salad was a joke................ I am never going back read more

I chose this restaurant because they advertised a gluten free menu for my allergy, but when I ordered I was told that the gluten free options (I chose 2) were not gluten free. When I finally ordered a 'gluten free' option I was told that I would have to change half of the meal since it was not entirely gluten free. When my meal was brought to me it came with a sauce that I was not sure was gluten free, and only half of my meal was brought to me at the time. My server also did not make accommodations for my allergy and at the end of the meal, he brought the bill however it was 50$ more expensive than what we ordered. As a restaurant that advertises gluten free options, I am very disappointed in the fact that all of the gluten free menu options contained gluten. read more
