Things to do in Tsawwassen
1. Montana's BBQ & Bar
Reviewed By Michael D
We visited Montanas in Tsawwassen to enjoy their all-you-can-eat ribs promotion. We were seated quickly while we waited for a 4th person to join our party. Our server then took our order which included one beer. It took 10 minutes to receive the beer.Our ribs took about 30 minutes, and they arrived only just warm. The server offered to replace our ribs but we had waited long enough and didn't want to chance having to wait again.The server did apologize but there was no offer to reduce our bill as is often done at restaurants when things go wrong.Bottom line, our visit was not a good one and we are in no hurry to return.

I often eat here for a quick lunch. I cannot even drag my wife here for supper, as she completely dislikes the ambience.My lunch is usually a steak salad ... a predictable but good plate of grilled steak with an interesting array of salad components. This time I chose to select their happy hour wings along with their new flour tortilla wrapped anjiones (sp?) and a Shock Top beer. I was enjoying the new flavors, and tried to ignore the array of TVs set up to deliver silent sports commentators and misc sports games. As they were silent, it was easier to deal with.I don't go to sports bars generally. I did not come to Montana's to listen to sports either. My wife will never go with me here, not will she ever take her girlfriends or kids here. She hates the whole macho concept that one has to watch sports 100% of the time.But shortly after my food was served, while I was quietly trying to catch up on newspaper news, a manager came up to the bar server and said, all the screens are going to a basketball match, and the volume is going on loud, and the manager told my server he did not care who commented about the sound. It seemed the game was important to the manager.I looked around to see who in this almost empty restaurant was watching, listening, or paying attention to the sports screens or the game. Virtually no one. Except one 20 something year old sitting by himself seemed to be watching.Was this preplanned on a Sunday night for a sports event. I don't think so.The restaurant of approximately 80 seats has maybe 12 people being served, including myself. The others were mothers with family.The manager is an idiot. Or selfish as perhaps he wanted to watch and listen to the basketball game that now monopolized all the monitors and the entire ambience of this restaurant.As I said earlier, the BBQ food is okay to good, no complaints from me.However, this restaurant is almost always empty.Perhaps it is the complete disconnection of ambience in this place.What they should try out, and perhaps all Montana locations should do this ...Put on a variety of old Western Cowboy flicks, different shows, on different screens.Create a Western Cowboy schtick ... and forget the Sports Screens after 2pm or so.Put on Western videos that also show women, not just men, such as Maureen Ohara as the ex-wife of John Wayne, or similar such women... and create an ambience that women can relate to, as well as the non-Neanderthals of which there are many, that wish to take their finite restaurant spending dollars to a place they can enjoy, and perhaps take their wife to without protest.People really do wish to dine at places where the TV Screens times do not try to take away the male attention by showing off talking heads or scrimmages. The Screens should instead morph into pieces of background art that blend into the mix of ambience, food smells, and associated music.I left half my food on the plate, I left my beer only half empty ... as the noisy change disgusted me. I may never return to this place. Management does not have a clue how to attract clients ... or keep them.Hi Ken, we apologize the noise level of the TV did not allow you to enjoy your dining experience.

You can see what they've tried to do here, considering the recent popularity of southern bbq. Unfortunately, SMK has missed the mark. While their menu does feature all the classics one would expect from a bbq joint, SMK's execution of theses dishes is severely lacking. The brisket was dry and very fatty, the ribs-- flavourless (unless drenched in sauce), and the sides (beans and slaw) could have been scooped from a Safeway deli container. I'm honestly curious to know if SMK actually smokes their meat in house because their product amounts to the frozen and then reheated offerings that can be found, cheaper, at Montana's only a stone's throw away. And this is in no way an endorsement of Montana's.Jimbo J, we regret to hear that you had a negative experience with us, but would appreciate the chance to turn your experience around. I am the Managing Cast Director here at SMK and would like to hear more about your horrible experience here.It is through critiques that we learn most about what we are doing wrong or right, but most importantly if you were unhappy here, I would appreciate more feedback if you can spare the time. Things like time and date of your visit, more service details, did you talk to a manager etc. All things that can help us be better which we are continually striving to do. You can reach me at the restaurant most hours that we are open.Thank You again for your feedback and I hope you can find the time to talk with me personally.Sincerely,Antonio PasacretaManaging Cast Director SMK Smokery + Bar604.382.5066
