Montana's BBQ & Bar has 105 restaurants located in all the Canadian provinces except Quebec, Newfoundland and Labrador, and none in the three territories.

[1] As of February 2009, Montana's closed their United States locations in Michigan and New York.

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.

In 2024, Montana's became the title sponsor of The Brier, the Canadian men's curling championship.
