Introduction
It is Takeout Wednesday again. OK, it has now gone national and is being called National Takeout Day. Every Wednesday is for helping support your local restaurants through takeout, curb-side or drive thru options. We are definitely all in!
We chose this Wednesday to get takeout from one of favourite haunts for BBQ cuisine, Montana’s located in Richmond Hill.
Normally we dine in at Montana’s but we so love the BBQ food that we are continuing to support them through these changing times and doing takeout.
So onto the history of Montana’s.
History
Montanas, officially Montana’s BBQ and Bar and originally Montana’s Cookhouse, is a Canadian restaurant chain that has a relatively short history.
It came on the scene in 1995 as a subsidiary of Kelsey’s specializing in in-house smoked ribs and having a distinct Western BBQ vibe.
There are over 100 locations across Canada.
Recipe Unlimited(formerly Cara Operations) completed its acquisition of Montana’s along with Kelsey’s in 2002. Since 2015 Montana’s has under gone the rebranding to Montana’s BBQ and Bar.
Next up the all important facts.
The Facts
As mentioned in the video this location is just a short trip on the 404 and 407 for us. We like this location as it has easy access off of High Tech Road(although the address is 8735 Yonge Street) and there is never a shortage of parking.
For the takeout we phoned in our order and completed payment at the same time. Ordering and payment can also be done through their apps or website.
When you arrive you phone them and they will bring your order out to you maintaining distancing at all times.
It was a very smooth experience and they are extremely friendly. Our food was amazing and the order was perfect.
Now, onto the fun!
The Fun
More often than not we usually all order something different and share but this time Lee and I both decided to try the new Double Onion Bacon Cheeseburger.
Ruth went with the signature Texas bold back ribs. Ruth ordered sweet potato fries, Lee french fries and I ordered the onion rings. Like I said we do this and share. We get the best of each world this way.
It goes with out saying that all of above has our seal of approval!
While we were at it we also ordered a couple of jars of their BBQ sauce. We got one of the Texas Bold and one of the Apple Butter flavour. They do make awesome BBQ sauce.
For some reason the drive home seemed longer than the drive there. I fully anticipated once we got home I would have to fight off Ruth and Lee to take photos before they started eating. I however, didn’t anticipate I would have to fight them off in the car on the way home as they wanted to get into the food before ever reaching home. I must say, I can’t blame them as the aroma of Sweet BBQ wafted through the mini van. It was, for sure, eating away at any will power that still existed.
We are definitely doing this one again!

A double onion bacon cheeseburger sounds really good right about now. Let’s hear it for take-out Wednesday!
We are definitely looking forward to Wednesday’s now.
If I am ever near one I will have to check it out! Your food looked amazing!
It would be worth the trip.
This looked absolutely delicious though I don’t think I can get delivery this far away. Could smell the ribs! Thanks for the writeup. I am now hungry!
Its too bad you can’t have it flown in. You would enjoy it.
Wow, this looks SO GOOD!
It is definitely tasty for sure and worth the trip no matter the distance.
This looks so tasty! I’m from the city of BBQ, Kansas City, Mo. and now I’m craving it!
I do love the Kansas City BBQ flavor. We would love to get there one day to try it first hand, and then write about of course.
WOW looks like a yummy place for some great BBQ! I wish we had a drive-thru BBQ in my town!
It is certainly a place we are lucky to have. I guess I forgot to mention it is something else we are grateful too.
More and more businesses opening up and putting employees back to work. The support is invaluable.
We are trying our best to help support them.
That looks so delicious! My husband and I love Ribs, thanks for the info!
BBQ Ribs are amazing.
That looks really yummy! Thanks for sharing!
You’re welcome. We try and showcase great food this area has to offer.
Delicious! We love good barbecue at my house!
There is just something about BBQ flavor that takes food to a whole new level.
I’ll take one of each please!
I wish I could deliver. They do taste awesome!
Sounds delicious. I would like to try the Apple Butter flavored BBQ sauce, it sounds yummy.
It is a wonderful and mild BBQ flavour that I really love. Their web site(montanas.ca) does not say anything about shipping products but I did find this toll free number for their guest relations that you could call and enquire(1-844-729-7830).
Excuse me while I go fix myself something to eat. My mouth is watering with the thought of a wonderful take-out burger!
It was delicious!
That Double Onion Bacon Cheeseburger!!! Those fries also look so good. They’re one of my favorite kinds of fries.
The burger has both sautéed onion and onion rings in it. It is yummy as are the fries!
We used to have a Montana Mike’s BBQ here in KS. I wonder if they were ever connected? In any case, your pics made me hungry!
According to my research they would not be related although similar name.
Yummm.. the food looks so good. I need to see if we have a good BBQ place here.
There is just something wonderfully unique about BBQ flavor.
Ooooh! I cannot resist some awesome BBQ! I would be snacking on the way home too!
It was a battle to keep food unopened until getting home!
This looks so good! I love a good restaurant of home cookin!
It was good. We neglected to mention the cornbread. It was awesome too.
Sweet potato fries and onion rings?! I’m sold! Too bad Canada is soooo far from Hawaii. lol. It sounds so delicious, I think I’m hungry. lol
I will happily trade you sweet potato fries and onion rings for tropical weather.
LOL. You are very welcome to come for a visit…well after all this covid fears have loosened up…
We would love a Hawaiian Vacation especially in the middle of our winter!
This is making me so hungry. Those ribs 😍
They are amazing!
I tried a new recipe for sweet potato fries last week. I haven’t tried tackling BBQ yet, though. I’m sure the takeout variety would be WAY better than anything I would create in the kitchen!!
You never know. You can make a lot of good food at home.
That looks yummy. I love the idea of takeout Wednesday.
It is a wonderful idea to help support restaurants that are struggling right now.
I hadn’t heard of Takeout Wednesday before, but I just have to say, that food looks delicious!
It is a phrase we started hearing locally after things changed in March. It is now gaining national traction in Canada as National Takeout Day.
This looks amazing! Always love finding new BBQ places and this looks great! Maybe one day we will be able to explore a bit of Montana!
The food is delicious. I love the apple butter BBQ sauce.
Sounds wonderful! I tried to support local restaurants and order take out. I hate to say but I always forget to take pictures until the plate is empty!
It is so hard to take the photos before eating!
How wonderful to support local restaurants by taking home carry out! It makes a difference. We are doing this too, to encourage and support restaurants in Joplin MO.
I am glad you are supporting your local restaurants too!
That looks amazing!!!
It was awesome!
