Montana's BBQ & Bar in Hamilton offers a consistently "great experience" with "amazing service" from standout staff like Brady, Riley, Jess, and Michelle. The food, especially "steaks done perfectly," is a highlight. While some dishes could use more sauce, the overall dining experience, including the "texas trash pie and drinks," is enjoyable.

    we waited a ridiculous time for our food as a party of 5. we observed another table come way after us and received their food before we did. also important to point out that the restaurant was basically empty so we were unsure what the wait was all about. i will say they resolved our issues after we mentioned our issues so we were satisfied with that and the actual service from out server was lovely.

    The food was ok, but nothing amazing. Our main waitress was great, but there was one who brought food to our table who was rude. My wife ordered steak with a ceasar salad and baked beans. She got coleslaw instead of baked beans as apparently they were out, but offered no other substitution. The place was loud from all the TV's blaring a hockey game. The main waitress who served us was amazing, friendly yet professional who went above and beyond for us. We'd go back for the texas trash pie and drinks, but not for the food.

    The young man that looked after us was outstanding. I am in a wheelchair and he helped me feel very comfortable, he suggested portions and sauces that we all totally enjoyed (3 of us). The food was delivered to us piping hot and fresh. We will definitely return.
