Montano's International Gourmet

Jimmy Goodson

Very eclectic menu! Got the Montano Gouda cheese burger and the Korean Beef Seoul Bowl. Excellent. Wings are a great appetizer as well.

This place is tucked out of the way in the middle of a strip shopping center, but it is probably the best eating establishment within a couple miles of 81 in Roanoke. We stopped in after several hours of highway driving south from Pennsylvania, and it was an incredible lunch experience. The service was friendly, the atmosphere was relaxing and cool, and the food was amazing. We tried a selection of flatbread pizza, meatball sub, and grilled cheese w/ tomato soup. The grilled cheese sandwich had slices of tomato which absolutely thrilled my wife, and the soup was immensely flavorful. Meatball sub was served open-face, but it was excellent. We are looking for excuses to go back to Roanoke and make this place part of our visit!!

If I could only eat at one restaurant for the rest of my life, this would likely be my selection. The menu is so diverse I'd never tire of my selection. They truly have it all. If you can't find something on this menu that you love you probably don't really like to eat. I have eaten here at least 20 times over the years. [I was taken here the first time by a local] Every single meal has been beyond great. True story.....one of the first times I ate here [at least 12 years ago] the owner was walking around and stopped at our table. He asked my dining partner what she wanted. She said she was unsure. He said 'you just describe anything you want and I will go back there and make it just for you'. She asked for some sort of pasta or a special salad [it was so long ago I truly can't remember] and he went back and whipped it up. She raved about it. My usual order is the New York Kosher sub. I love that sub. Seems so basic but I truly crave that sandwich from time to time. Service is always fantastic. The servers always know their menu and make great suggestions. Have not eaten there lately but they have always had a solid bar area, a small but fantastic local beer selection to-go and a great dessert case. They also have a small outdoor area and they are pet friendly. This is one of my favorite restaurants of all time.

The ribs were so tender they literally fell off the bone. My husband got a plantain steak which seemed an odd combo but it was really delicious. Our server had such a fun attitude and made our birthday celebration so special.
