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.

Located near Lakeview Park & Regional General Hospital in the Northern end of Nanaimo, we are a short turn off of Island Highway North.

    the reason why we reserved a seat so that we can a good spot and i already indicated that we want a couch seat for that day but still we seated in the at the bck of the waiting area which is everytime that someone passby we have this feeling that we are blocking the walkway then we ask for a seat transfer and they transfer us to beside the kitchen which is too hot…

    The ribs were tasty but needs more sauce and spices. Staff was polite but will definitely need a smilier face.

    Good value on the deal of the day menu. We have been a few time for the all you can eat ribs. Ribs this time were more fatty than on previous visits. Cole slaw I'd lacking flavor.

    Something needs to be done about the hoards of fruit flies. I am not sure that they don't pose a health risk. We spent our whole time at your restaurant swatting them.
