About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for groups
When we say our ribs are famous, we mean it. Enjoyed by actors, athletes, and every U.S. President since Gerald Ford, they’re hand-spiced and slow-roasted daily, then finished off on our custom broiler. But Matula’s secret recipe sauce is the real star, made with only the finest California tomatoes and a super-secret blend of all-natural spices. And don’t worry about wearing a bib. It’s a good look.

Our world-famous ribs are definitely a hard act to follow. That’s why we also offer equally out-of-this-world entrées and combos, signature appetizers, soups and salads, and seriously decadent desserts. And if you have little ones who refuse to eat anything that’s not a nugget, children’s menus are available as well.

Whether it’s lunch, dinner, or carryout, there’s always something delicious you’ll want to try. But if you always decide to go with the ribs, we’re fine with that too.

    Montgomery Inn is a classic. Service is definitely above average. I did not find the food that good. I ordered a brisket sandwich and I found the brisket to be dry in the bun to be stale.

    Haven't been in years. Moved to Florida 2 years ago and are in town to visit family. We were a party of 6. Sat in the bar area and the music was good but hard to hear people at our table. The server was so unfriendly and had no patience. The food was not what we remember. The quality has gone way down hill. The decor of the restaurant needs to be updated. We will not be back.

    Were seated in the bar area, even though we had a family with children. Friday nights are a band night - the music was dated and incredibly loud, we could not enjoy our food it was so loud. Service was incredibly hectic and server was inattentive. One salad came out with a mysterious red mark on the edge of the bowl and we had to send it back; one family member ordered the salmon California and it was just grilled salmon with green beans underneath - was not the correct thing but at this point, pointless to send back and she ate it anyway. Food was messily plated with no ambience whatsoever. So disappointing as Montgomery Inn used to be a real treat for our family.

    We have been to the Montgomery Inn many times but our food last night was not good. The ribs were all very fatty-more so than usual. One of us also got brisket and felt it was also all fat. For the price it just wasn’t worth it. It has always been a gabbier place to go for parent weekend when we are visiting our son at college so hope it is better if/when we go again.
