The service was amazing. Spence was attentive, friendly and helpful. Couldn't ask for better. The supervisor and manager both came by and chatted too. The music and tvs seemed to be shouting over each other, though they did turn the tv down when we mentioned it. Food was good, not outstanding, with the exception of the burnt ends which were fabulous. The buttermilk chicken was dry.. Overall , an enjoyable occasion.

Tonight, we celebrated my nephew’s birthday and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The food was absolutely delicious every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Everything was served promptly and with such care, making the whole dining experience smooth and enjoyable.

A special shoutout to our server, Amanda, who truly went above and beyond for us. She was incredibly attentive, patient, and friendly, always checking in at the right moments...

We went to Montanas Upper James for lunch on a Monday and had a great experience. Our server Lyla was the perfect hostess, and our food was cooked and served exactly right and in a timely manner. Thank you Montana's for your usual great service!
