I don’t usually report on the sane restaurant but Sheila read the last blog on Montana’s and just had to experience their BBQ. So off we went on Saturday for a late lunch. 

At 2PM it was busy and we actually had a short wait Until seated at a high table. Our server was a sweet young lady dressed in jeans and a Black Montana’s T-shirt as were all the staff.  Our drinks arrived promptly and we ordered quite a variety. Burnt Ends, Appetizer sized Ribs and Caesar salad For Sheila, BBQ Chicken Fajita for me. 

Here is the scoop. The Ribs, according to one who knows, were fabulous. Almost as good as Victoria’s late,  famous,  Cherry Bank Hotel. That’s high praise. Not that I can make the comparison since my Victoria upbringing somehow omitted the Cherry Bank. 

The Caesar Salad also received a rave review. The best restaurant Caesar in ages. 

The Burnt Ends were OK but not as good as those at the Rusted Rake in Nanoose. 

My Fajita was quite substantial with a generous portion a tender BBQ Chicken, served with grilled onions, red and green peppers and  flour tortillas. Also shredded lettuce, chopped tomato and grated cheese. Oh, and sour cream, salsa & guacamole. All good but more than I could finish. Oh course I did get a taste of the rubs, salad and Burnt ends too. 

Sheila’s first visit to Montanas. Would she go back? Absolutely! Next time maybe Mac & Cheese.

Montanas is definitely with a visit. There are nearly 100 locations in Canada so you should be close to one wherever you live. 

Just saying…
