This was the 1st time we've ever been to this location. We have been to the one on the river only once, and it was quite a while ago, maybe 8+ years. We went to this location for date night/my Husband's birthday, just him and I. A very rare thing were we get to go to [what we thought would be a fancy experience]...Things that didn't bother me: it's outdated decor, seats, tables, etc. Not a big deal, it is what it is. -Things that did bother us: All our food came out at once. Salads, bread, appitizers, main dishes. The waitress did offer to go take our main dishes back and put them under the window, but yeah...not sure anyone would want their food just under the lamp knowing it's done....Anyhow, I got the filet. At first I thought it was cooked perfectly, but the more I got into it, it was cooked uneven and dang near raw and mooing on one part. -We were 0/10 impressed with the salad, bread, and macaroni. The salad was bagged dollar store lettuce and a few sliced cucumbers. The bread was dry and the frozen butter paddles meant you weren't spreading any butter, so no bread for us. The macaroni was 100% the same macaroni you get at Bob Evans. Same taste, same look, so guessing same supplier. -My husband got the ribs and pork chops, both saving the entire experience, lol -Overall, we made the decision we would not return to any Montgomery Inn location again. The price of food just doesn't match the atmosphere or quality of food. We are pretty salty we spent over $120 for sure.

The brisket meal was a great disappointment! The meat was tough, flat as a piece of leather and full of fat. I couldn't finish it and brought it home to feed my dogs!Parking: Tough to find a place. Adjacent parking very restricted!

Montgomery Ribs and sauce at restaurant are vastly superior to the branded product at grocery store.

Back after 5 years and still a good restaurant to have dinner. Ribs are always one of the best foods in the area. Fast and precise service. Clean and wide space. Maybe some refurbishment is needed .Very goodParking: Valet service

We came over from Indianapolis after someone recommended this restaurant. The atmosphere is super fun and the food was amazing. We both got a rib combo with shrimp and ended up taking over half of the ribs home. Our teenagers loved them just as much. There are some cute shops in the area so we walked around a little after. Definitely recommend.

Over hyped. WAY overpriced. Absolutely nothing special. Actually, McDonalds food tastes better.And, the waitress short changed me by $5. When I told her she said “are you sure”?I got my change. And, I WILL NEVER GO BACK.

Ok, over priced and disgusting. The Mac and cheese is probably from a frozen bag placed in hot water. The prime rib was fatty and hardly any good meat. The fish was old, definitely not fresh. The salad had soooo much Dressing you could taste anything else. I don’t know why people think this is a decent meal. If you want to spend a little money and actually enjoy your meal, you have so many more options. Hard Pass! Please go somewhere else! I will never return. I went here with a gift card. I spent $40 out of my own pocket and definitely not worth a penny. Home cooking exceeds the quality served here. The only good thing was the glass of wine I had and the server was friendly and polite.

Worst ribs ever! Super dry and not falling off the bone. The inn has declined post-COVID. Great service (staff always prompt and helpful) but quality was poor beyond belief. Got offered another slab of dry ribs as “apology”. Our waitress tried to make it right. Manager? Not so much. We told the waitress to keep the new ribs and give them to someone in the kitchen. Beware! At the prices they charge, Montgomery Inn should be the best in the city. They are not. :(

Montgomery Inn could be good if their menu wasn't stuck in the 90s and if the food was actually fresh. They need a substantial revamp to be relevant

Very good BBQ Ribs! The char was perfect - a very thin char along the edges. Tangy sauce, tender meat, clean bones.... Get Some!
