Montana's BBQ & Bar (originally and in some cases, still branded as Montana's Cookhouse Saloon) is a Canadian restaurant chain known for smoked pork ribs, steaks, and burgers. It is headquartered in Vaughan, Ontario and is a subsidiary of Recipe Unlimited.

Operations

Montana's BBQ & Bar has 105 restaurants located in all the Canadian provinces except Quebec, and none in the three territories. As of February 2009, Montana's closed their United States locations in Michigan and New York.

History

Montana's Cookhouse first opened its doors in 1995 as a subsidiary of Kelseys Original Roadhouse. The original idea was thought up by Kelsey's owner Paul Jeffery and its president Nils Kravis. In 1999, Cara Operations (now known as Recipe Unlimited) obtained controlling interest in Kelsey's, including the Montana's chain. Cara completed its acquisition of the entire company 2002.

As of 2015, the chain began rebranding as Montana's BBQ & Bar.

Brier sponsorship

In 2024, Montana's became the title sponsor of The Brier, the Canadian men's curling championship. Montana's replaced Tim Hortons, which had sponsored the Brier beginning in 2005.
