Montana's BBQ & Bar has 105 restaurants located in all the Canadian provinces except Quebec, Newfoundland and Labrador, and none in the three territories.
[2] Montana's Cookhouse first opened its doors in 1995 as a subsidiary of Kelseys Original Roadhouse.
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.
