Martha's Place | Buffet and Catering

Great southern soul food. Usually I don’t like buffets, but this place is very sanitary. They have gloves for customers to use when getting food and someone is always watching the food. Truly enjoyed my hot fried and baked chicken, collards, fried okra, yams, cornbread, Lima beans and banana pudding. I ate all my heart desired. They had other options as well. Also a full service salad bar. Of course southern sweet tea. You will not be disappointed!

Always receive good services here. The menu is good, and the buffet area is kept clean with COVID procedures in mind.

I ate at Martha's for years when I worked downtown, and Martha's was located downtown. The food, service, and atmosphere was always great!!!
I ate at Martha's for the first time on 10/8/24. The food was delicious!!!
The service was great!!! And, the atmosphere was very nice!!! Needless to say I will be eating at Martha's really soon. If I could rate six stars, I would!

New to the area and happened to stumble upon Martha’s Place. Food was excellent and reminded me of eating at Grandmas house on Sundays after church. Will defiantly be going back sooner rather than later.

The food was ok. The sides were bland, but both the baked and fried chicken were well seasoned and very good. The staff were attentive and the restaurant was clean.

Entering the restaurant it's a nice environment ... there was a strange kind of sour smell that I couldn't quite nail down. It may have not been as bad if it were not so hot in there. I don't know if the air conditioning is broke or what but it was uncomfortably warm. After I came thru the door the hostess was on the phone barely acknowledged I Was there .. Asked how many... took my money and told me I can sit where I like. .... Alrighty then hey to you too... Smh .. After finding somewhere to sit I was greeted by my server a young man .. Who was very nice ... So one star of my review is for him .. I don't like having to prepare my food again after its on my plate .. But that's what I would have had to do to enjoy my collards.. They are cooked well and tender but very bland .. But if you are a person who adds extra salt.. Pepper sauce .. Onions and all that to your greens they probably would be fine.. The potato salad was flavorful but entirely TOO sweet for my tastebuds .. But it may be just how some like it. Another star for the fried chicken and okra.. It was fresh crispy and seasoned although chicken seemed to be dark meat only ..which was kind of a disappointment.. Although the online menu said turkey ..none was available .. Another disappointment... The macAroni had a weird after taste and was kind of gritty.. I had one fork full and had to spit it out..just didn't taste fresh at all.. Maybe Wednesday is a bad day to come ... And the third star is for the banana pudding and.watermelon (very sweet delicious) and sweet tea .. .. The other dessert was some type of pink cake. .. I guess strawberry but it was dry and really didn't have much flavor at all. So .. Would I go back? Maybe I will try on a weekend.. Wednesday just seemed like we were given the leftovers they were cleaning out of the fridge before getting ready for the weekend batch prep..... ...

Decent buffet. No Mac & Cheese or candied yams on buffet today makes it less of a soul food buffet. 3 meats on bar, if you count chicken & dumplings. Food we ate was delicious, hot and well seasoned. Server was knowledgeable and professional/ personable. Overall, great restaurant.

Wheelchair accessibility: Large spaces to navigate. Handicap bathroom stall.

It was me and my boyfriend’s first time coming and the service was not good at all. It was hot and dark in the place and we had a hard time finding a clean table. Our waiter (which never introduced herself as our waiter) asked what we wanted to drink as she was speed walking by with plates in her hand. If my boyfriend would’ve wanted anything other than what I wanted to drink, she wouldn’t have heard it that’s how fast she flew by asking what we wanted to drink. Never checked on us again, so we had to share a straw and had to search for silverware ourselves because it was only one on the table. When I finally got a chance to ask for another straw it seemed as if she had an attitude. Maybe if we had the woman she was calling her sister as our waitress we would’ve had a better experience, she seemed to be very nice to her customers. Hate to say it but that’s Montgomery for ya! You rarely get good service in that city.
