I was pretty underwhelmed with Montgomery's. Perhaps its because I ordered fish or because of the table we were seated at that was right in the entry way and we were constantly being bumped into. I definitely want to go back and give their happy hour a try and I think it would be a good local place to go watch a game at (Go CATS!). Overall my dish was just very bland and I won't be ordering it again. I was also unimpressed by the looks of my boyfriend's Cajun Shrimp Caesar Salad (which was a special). The shrimp were tiny and looked very dry. He said it was OK. He was, however, pretty happy with the nachos. The only tip I would have on those is not to order the half size portion. I'm sure the full size is too large but the half size was nearly the same price which they didn't mention when they suggested the half size option. Because it's a local place and we don't have a whole lot going on in Vail we'll probably give it another shot at some point and maybe not order the seafood!
Review Source:We live in Vail and have frequented Montgomery's several times over the past few months. Â The food is consistently good and the service excellent! Â In fact, the only reason I've been reluctant to post something on Yelp about Montgomery's is because I'd rather not see it so overrun with customers that the waits get long. Â Anyway, it's time to share the joy of this great little bar and grill -- Vail has very few restaurants and this one deserves high marks. Â They also have good beer on tap -- my wife enjoys the "Kiltlifter", and I prefer the Guinness.
Review Source:We stumbled across this place while out in the area geocaching. Â If you don't know what that is, think treasure hunt with cheap treasures. Â What we found was a very nice Bar and Grill with a friendly staff and great food. Â The inside is nicely appointed and bright, and there is an outside patio. Â We were there for lunch on a 100 degree day, so not too many folks outside. Â I had one of the specials, a prime rib dip sandwich that was one of the best I have ever had. Â My wife had a Reuben sandwich, which they will make with corn beef, pastrami or turkey, and she said it was very good too. Â She had the corn beef and it was piled high. Â The prices were reasonable and the service was good. Â We very much enjoyed this little out of the way place. Â You won't find this place if you don't live in the area or have a reason to go a couple miles north of I-10 on Vail Road, but it is worth the trip.
Review Source:Since they have had new management it has been great. Â The chicken strips and fish are hand battered not frozen....very good. Â The staff is great and good beer. Â Pretty much everything is freshly made. The ONLY thing I wasn't
impressed with was the blackened fish which had no flavor at all but what do you expect when you live in the desert.
Stopped in for dinner with the family on our way through Vail, looked on Yelp before I went in, had fairly high hopes we would get a good meal, but our visit left a lot to be desired.
The waitress was great, zipped drinks out to us, and really provided good service. Â We placed our order in record time, and less than 10 minutes later, our meals were in front of us.
Wife ordered shrimp scampi and was going to share it with my son, after cutting into the shrimp, it became apparent why the wait for our food was so short... it was raw inside. Â So, back to the kitchen with it, and they brought out another plate which was fine. Â No excuses for serving under-cooked food, especially ticks me off since my son was sharing with my wife.
I ordered their saloon steak salad special and it was a wreck. Â Lettuce needed at least a few more runs with the knife, the pieces were huge! Â Second, they tossed in huge chunks of white onion and didn't even bother the separate most of them---there was one piece of red onion, I suspect they ran out of red. Â Third, they were out of guacamole, which is kinda key for something like this, and although they called it out when they delivered it, they should have checked with me before putting me on the spot so I could have changed my order before it was delivered. Â Last, salad was supposed to have red bell pepper, but to them, that means one tiny slice. Â The only good part was, the steak on the top was pretty good. Â Not worth the money---I expect more.
So far, the worst $40 I've spent in a while and I would not go back. Â Other reviewers seem to have better luck here, so perhaps they were having a really bad night, but I won't be going back.
Oh no!!! I was THAT customer tonight :(
I ordered the chicken salad sandwich with the high, high hopes of eating half there and bringing the other half to work for lunch tomorrow. When it came out it was riddled with pecans. Pecans are the delicious delight of many an eater... for me however, Â I feel one pecan away from anaphylaxis. Not wanting to risk the sirens and chest compressions, I sheepishly returned it. Actually, my huz spoke up for me (yay him!). Allison, our most attentive server, was kind and understanding. She smiled and returned the sandwich... I had their most delicious burger instead...
Such a nice experience there, again. Great service... decent food... yummy sweet potato fries, and compassion for a dumb dumb that didn't think to ask about nuts in the chicken salad.
There's not a whole lot of eateries in the Vail area and Montgomery's certainly fills the bill as one of the best. The food comes in generous servings, and is downright good. The service is fast and friendly and attentive. I especially love their fries. It's a little more expensive but I think it's worth it all things considered.
It's definitely on my "visit again and soon" list.
Montgomery's anchors a tidy little strip mall in Vail, and has done a great job serving a diverse clientele of suburbanites, cowboys, bikers and city-fleeing hermits. The menu doesn't offer anything unexpected, and the sandwiches and steaks are unexceptional (although the burgers always have a sweet smoky flavor and grill stripes that always impress me). I've been disappointed by lukewarm fries before, but the other sides are slightly above afterthought in taste and appearance (yummy potato salad, creamy cole slaw). The service is excellent, attentive, and down-home. The wait staff call most regulars by name, yet are not so familiar that they become uncouth. The restrooms are almost opulent with heavy copper door handles and pounded copper sinks, which seems incongruous in a small town dinner joint, but Montgomery's takes pride in its singular role as the only show in town that's not fast food. It's worth the short drive from I-10 and consider driving back to town on Colossal Cave Road after a nice dinner here.
Review Source:Montgomery's is a little off the beaten path but a really good deal if you find yourself in Vail, AZ. Â It's always happy hour here with $5 glasses of wine and a full bar. Â I tried the steak and for $13.99 you can't really beat the price for the quality. Â The sweet potato fries were perfection! Â I also saw the nachos and the plate was the size of the table. Overall really pleasant dining experience.
