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 really delicious meal, my partner had the all you can eat ribs which were not only delicious but he really got his money's worth, if not double (although he can barely move now). At the start it took a while for them to bring the refill plates but towards the end they were filling the table. We were also allowed to take the leftovers home which was very nice. I have the beef brisket burger which was great and well seasoned. Their long Island iced teas were yummy too. Pretty average pricing and good service. Will be back

    We reserved a table requesting a quiet corner and the staff set us up in a quiet nook away from the main dining area that was perfect for our needs. The staff was friendly and helpful.

    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.
