Pub Cheeseburger
Harry B.

Food was very good. We were sat by the kitchen??? Why? Open restaurant. Our server was amazing! He was an older man and did one of the best jobs I have run into in a long time. He could serve in a much higher end restaurant and be successful. Thank you, I wish I would have grabbed your name. The ambiance is sports bar like. Funny thing is, we were sat in one of the only seats in the place that couldn't get a good view of the TV. We wanted to see a bit of the Little League games. We could have asked for a different table but I am glad we didn't after the service we got.

I am working in the area, so I stopped in for dinner at the suggestion of a local friend. This is an upscale sports bar if that can happen. Sports bar feel with an elevated menu. The vibe feels a little weird with the music choices compared to a sports bar atmosphere. I had a local beer, White Squirrel West Coast IPA and the Bang Bang Chicken to start the evening. Everything was very good. Thanks to the bartender that recommended the Bang Bang Chicken. I watched the 3 bartenders make cocktails and by luck of the draw I did not get the bartender I wanted to prepare my last cocktail of the evening. I tried the Prohibition Old Fashioned. The bartender I wanted to make it, was not the one that actually made it and it showed. There is one rockstar bartender in there this evening and unfortunately she did not make my Old Fashioned. I would come back and give it another try.

Baja Fish Taco
Summer S.

We sat near the bar on a Saturday. We got the nachos to split and they were only okay. Very southwest style. We split one of the special mimosas by the bottle and it was yummy. I ordered a Baja fish taco which was delicious. The Nashville hot chicken taco was okay. The jalepenos on it were too much for me, personally.

We had a great meal here! We came with a big group after going to a WKU basketball game. My brother in law had been here before and very highly recommended it. We were with a big group of around 10. It took a good while to get a table, so see if you can make a reservation. My brother in law could not stop talking about the pub nachos, so much so that he got them as an entree. I wanted to see for myself so I ordered them as an appetizer for the table. The hype is real, they were really great nachos. For my entree I got the slinger burger, since everything about it sounded great. I upgraded to truffle fries. I would not get this if I were to come back. I didn't love the chili on the burger, I thought it was way too overpowering, especially for it being wagyu meat that I wanted to taste. Also, this is my fault, but when I read "chili" on the menu idk why I thought of a pepper, like a chili pepper, and was disappointed when I saw chili chili (again, my fault). The fries also were a waste of an upgrade and money. They were below the burger and mountain of chili, completely masking the subtle truffle taste. The staff up front was alright, not sure if they especially cared about us, or listened when we were trying to simplify their job and get us in and out. That being said, we came on a Saturday evening and it was pretty busy, so I am sure they were doing their best. The atmosphere is industrial, with lots of TVs with sports on, like an elevated sports bar. I'd still come back, but I would be more careful about my order.

Kentucky Hot Brown

Nice place for lunch or dinner with an outside patio. We were there during an afternoon lull, so we were seated and served quickly. The hot brown dish was a little too cheesy and hot. The shape of the dish made it difficult to get any of the soggy bread in a bite. This The grilled chicken teriyaki was tasty and made for a less filling meal. This place is good for a quick meal on the road, but we were not impressed by the experience overall.

Hot Brown
Danielle M.

Our hotel staff recommended we try out a local restaurant and we are so happy we did. Service was excellent and food was very good! Beer selection had plenty of options with a selection of seasonal drinks as well. I ordered the hot brown as it's a local favorite apparently. I was curious so decided to give it a try. Came out super hot with hand cut fries. Took most of it back to hotel for hubby to eat later. He ordered southern pub burger which looked good. He said the burger was a little dry but otherwise okay. Had the buffalo cauliflower as an appetizer which was pretty good. The sauce seemed a bit sweet unlike a traditional Franks red hot.

Five of us went for lunch today. The food was very good and service was outstanding. Cheeseburger 5, Hot Brown 4, Sweet tater fries 5, Chicken and Waffles 5, Fish and Chips 3.5 (small portion of fish) and Chicken Wings 10! Easy parking and roomy inside with lots of sports TVs.

Hot brown

I go here once a year during ls fest. I crave the hot brown. I really have nothing to compare it to but i love the taste. The service has always been good . My favorite appetizer there is the el diablo.my wife had the blackened mahi sandwich and felt the tarter sauce and mahi was bland.

We were here again last week. We just can't get enough of this place. It has the best servers and the best feel, and we love those peppers.

Shrimp & Grits
Denise Y.

Love - Love -Love this place! My BlackBerry Lemonade was awesome (had 2, but I wasn't driving ), food was great, service was spot on and patio dining exactly what we were looking for this afternoon's late lunch. I do like seafood and always look to see what might be on the menu and it was a no brainer to get the Lobster Flatbread AND Shrimp & Grits for my husband & I. Both were amazing and our golden loved his grilled chicken breast. We had excellent service. So, awesome weather for patio dining - great food - awesome service. What's not to like?

We are from Michigan, and a few days after returning home, we noticed that our debit card had been charged more than the total on our receipt, including the tip we originally left. Thankfully, I kept my copy of the receipt, as it did not match the amount that was processed. It appears that our server removed an item from our bill and increased the tip without our authorization. I contacted the restaurant as soon as I noticed the discrepancy. The manager on duty at the time was unable to assist with a refund, so I had to call back the following day to speak with another manager. While the second manager assured me the issue would be resolved and suggested the server was unaware of the error, it has now been four days and I have yet to receive a refund. I strongly recommend that anyone dining here keep their receipt and consider taking a photo of the final bill before leaving to help prevent a similar issue.

We were quickly seated and ordered our drinks while studying the really excellent menu. Instead of rolls, a cast iron skillet containing "Fire Bread" was delivered to our table. It was delicious and was quickly devoured while waiting for our dinners. My wife ordered the Montana fried chicken salad and I opted for the chicken pot pie. While the salad was nothing out of the ordinary (except the chicken was quite good) she thoroughly enjoyed it. My chicken pot pie was really good and it contained lots of large chunks of chicken. Many places that serve this dish think all you have to do is put some pastry puff over the chicken and you have chicken pot pie. NOT! At Montana Grill, this dish was prepared like I would make it at home-a complete crust which does a great job sopping up the chicken and vegetables. The portion was huge and had I not been traveling, I would have taken some home. This dish was also served in a cast iron skillet. Service was excellent and appreciated after driving nearly 9 hours. We waited for nothing. Very happy to have been reintroduced to Montana Grill.
