It's a relaxed place. I came here for lunch with my family and ordered the beer-battered fish & chips, which were very satisfying. It was served with seasoned fries, and tartar sauce. It all made an enjoyable meal. The others ordered a creamy mac & cheese and a spicy chicken burger. The burger was apparently extra spicy. There were no bad things to say about any of the food though. We came when it was slower and, after ordering, our food took around 10 minutes to be ready. The waitresses were really friendly and had great attentiveness. The room was a little bit chilly, but apart from that I would say it was a very good place to sit down for lunch.

We just had a fantastic meal at Montana’s South Keys. I had the vegetarian tacos, they were great! I usually struggle with options at a place like this. Sheila was wonderful with her suggestions. And my wife had the burnt end taco and a shrimp taco. Which she really enjoyed. We usually walk away from restaurants saying our cooking is better and we should have ate at home, but this was outstanding. Thanks for a great experience.

Came here for lunch with my wife and my aunt. My wife's steak was not cooked correctly but they did correct the error on request. The fish and chips were good. The service was great and the atmosphere was nice. We had no difficulty carrying on a conversation.

I had a BBQ Brisket burger (sorry, I forgot the name) that I really enjoyed. The portion size was good, it was just right to satisfy without feeling over stuffed. I enjoyed my meal very much.

A little too cold inside. Overheard other customers complaining. Food was good, ribs not very meaty but ok. Sweet potato fries were very good and frozen strawberry daiquiri was good.
