Montana's Cookhouse

The other night we were treated to a nice dinner at Montana's Cookhouse in the heart of Scarborough.  This place has been around for quite some time now and boasts some of the best ribs in all of Toronto.  Naturally I went with their famous Smokehouse Pork Back Ribs.

Smokehouse Pork Back Ribs
The ribs arrived within 15 minutes of ordering.  I went with their customary BBQ sauce and mashed potatoes.  The ribs were nice and hot and had about 9 to 10 bones to the rack.  I took one bite into the meat and I could tell right away why these guys are famous for their ribs.  The meat was laced with BBQ sauce on every bite, was very, very soft and juicy and it literally fell right off the bone.   I have to admit it was one of the best ribs I have had in quite some time.  Needless to say the entire meal was completed without any problems.  The mash potatoes was nicely whipped as well.  It was soft, a little bit creamy but nonetheless pretty good. They also dug a hole in the centre of the mash potato to hold the gravy which I thought was quite neat.  There were also some corn cooked with some butter and red peppers which gave it a spicy taste to it.  Everything on this plate was just perfect.  The entire meal was well worth the money. 

Overall, everything was well organized and service was good considering this place was packed on a Friday night.  Our server had checked on us regularly that night to make sure our food was good or whether we needed more drinks.   I was told the only blemish was that my wife's steak was slightly overcooked as she had ordered a medium rare but instead got a steak that was closer to medium well done.  Otherwise, there were no other complaints from others.  With plenty of free parking and the restaurant located just within eye shot of Scarborough Town Centre, it certainly would make it a great place following a long day of shopping or right after a movie.  Overall I give it a 4.5 out of 5.
