On Friday, I went to Montana’s in Cambridge (on Hespeler Road) and immediately noticed a new menu. I always enjoyed Montana’s because of their great gluten free options (well, ok, it’s mostly about the ribs). So when I noticed that the menu had changed, I was a little bit worried at first. Did they change their sauce for the ribs? Does the rotisserie chicken now have gluten on it?
Well, as it turns out the new menu is great. In fact, Montana’s has a new nutritional and allergy information page (that you can ask for, and take home if you wish) that lists all the items on their menu and if gluten is present. (The column is called “Wheat & Gluten Sources”). They also have other allergens listed such as peanuts, tree nuts, sesame, milk and milk products, fish, shellfish, soy and sulphites. They’ve obviously done their homework.
The ribs are still gluten-free (thankfully!) and it’s good to know that the Texas Bold and Apple Butter BBQ sauce are gluten-free. I always chose the Texas Bold since I had checked the ingredients, but never checked the Apple Butter sauce. Also a nice surprise: the burgers are gluten free (without the bun of course). Note that the rotisserie chicken is still gluten-free, but the dipping sauce is still not gluten free. I usually have the Texas Bold BBQ sauce as a dipping sauce when I have the rotisserie chicken.
Apparently the fries are gluten free as well. I didn’t check if they were cooked in a separate fryer though – anyone out there asked their local Montana’s?
Note that some of the salads are listed as having gluten, but this is only because of the croûtons. The salads can be made without croûtons, and as I mentioned most of the salad dressings (except for the Lemon Garlic Vinegarette) are gluten free.
Well, enjoy the new Montana’s menu!
