27 Best Southern Restaurants in Montgomery

“We had the pleasure of surprising my mom with a birthday brunch on December 7th. My experience from beginning to end was nothing less than spectacular! India, and the rest of the staff, made sure that my mom's experience was a memorable one. We will definitely be going back soon!“

“Miss Gail came to our table to introduce herself! Four cousins on a road trip!! BEST FOOD WE’VE HAD SO FAR Everyone in here was terrific“

“the food is good not going to lie but they need to do something about customer service over the telephone no one don't want to deal with no one where the rude mouth or hanging up on them when I'm spending my money only thing I wanted was for the cashier to open up my food and allow to dash it to take a picture of my food so I can see my food before I got it as they do in the restaurant they open up your plate for you to look at it and you content with your meal and you go so why is it the same done for doordash the cashier should have on gloves open up the customer plate allowed to Dasher to take a picture to send to the person who ordered their food that's all I'm saying I paid 33 some odd dollars for one plate with a tip to the Dasher that left me paying 40 something bucks for one plate yes the food is good but I do not like dealing with no rude people I almost walked up there because it is the neighborhood where I grew up from“

“The food reminded me of classic comfort meals from childhood. Everything was cooked with so much flavor. The staff treated us like family during our visit. Portions were generous and priced fairly. I can’t wait to come back for another meal.“

“This Place is So Rich of Black History. Loved the Food. I had Baked Turkey and dressing, Swai Fish, Mac and cheese, collard greens, and some good Ole Cornbread. All I can say is Somebody Grandma lost her Leg, arms, and Foot GONE!!!!! AKA EXCELLENT FOOD. WILL BE BACK. THEY HAVE SOMETHING FOR EVERYDAY OF THE WEEK.“

“We would give this place 0 stars if we could! Amazing, down home cooking with some of the best fried chicken in the south! We had chicken, wings for me, dark meat for hubs. Sides were cheese grits, string beans, collards, slaw and okra corn and tomatoes. Delicious corn muffins came to the table with our drinks. Drink choices are sweet and unsweetened tea, lemonade and water. Somehow we got lucky and hit on a rare slow day, so no wait for a seat right at noon. We drove two hours to give this place a try after reading rave reviews online. I can easily say we would make the trip again, just for the remarkable chicken!“

“I eat here frequently for lunch and it never ever disappoints!“

“Sommers Place is my favorite place to eat be it lunch or dinner. The staff there very friendly and attentive. The food is excellent and always taste the same. Ice tea is also good. I took my brother and dad there and they love it also. I give them a 5.“

“I love chicken salad chick when it comes to their food! Never disappointed. The service is pretty slow and sometimes you have to ask for someone to come take your order. Other than maybe needing more people up front working, I love it. Will always get the sassy scotty on a croissant with a side of potato soup!“

“The food was very very good. It was well seasoned fresh and hot! I would definitely recommend! 10/10“

“Very nice experience tonight. We did have reservations and were seated right away. Our server, Gideon, did an outstanding job throughout the meal and at least 2 front of house staffers check on us to ensure we were satisfied with the table, the food and the service.
Although not directly related to the restaurant but it does figure in to our overall visit, the parking situation is terrible here and the overpriced (for 2 hours) city parking lot may be your only option if you don't want to walk several blocks.“

“Stockyard catered our Annual Employee Christmas Luncheon yesterday and did not disappoint. We had steaks, salad, potatoes and tea along with the condiments for the salads and potatoes as well as plastic/paper products and serving utensils at such an amazing price. Ms. Jennifer and her staff went above and beyond. She even called a couple hours later to check on how things went. Excellent food! Excellent prices! Excellent customer service!“

“We ordered for the first timejust to try some place new. Seriously glad we did!T-bone steak for $18.99,I was apprehensive. Steak was very flavorful and tender. The hotdogs were huge anddelicious! The bake potato was a masterpiece and weighed like 5 pounds. Everything we ordered was awesome. We will order from here again!“

“This was wonderful…the food, the service, the friendly people…I just can’t say enough about how much we loved this restaurant. Well we ate 3 of our 6 meals here. We would have eaten more but we ate two of our 6 at the Riverwalk Stadium during baseball games and another before we found the place. Love your Cafe! Oh and also the best sweet tea of my 61 years!“

“Had a taste for some good catfish while in Montgomery and I found Joe’s Again and man oh man am I glad that I did! I got the catfish plate and it was absolutely delicious!!! Three big, perfectly fried pieces of catfish, and the fries were plentiful, perfectly cooked, and amazingly seasoned!! Everything came out pretty quickly too! And very reasonably priced (especially for all that you get)! Get extra of the pickle-flavored sauce, it’s delicious! I will definitely be back before I leave!!“

“Great food, atmosphere and customer service ❤️❤️“

“I came in from out of state and they let me in right at closing and the food was hot and fresh. Everything was very clean and staff was friendly. I was really impressed!“

“Fried chicken was a big hit for my dads birthday! Many said it was the best they've ever had! Highly recommend little donkey ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“The portions here are getting smaller and smaller. It was NOT worth the half filled cups of sides and maybe 6 ounces of meat that we got for $11.99. My meat and okra were cold. The place was dirty with trash all over the floor, the tables were so sticky that our napkins stuck to the table. Also, Do not go here to eat if your group is more than six people! You cant slide tables together so your party can sit together. You can't slide even a chair over to sit at the end of a table. You have to decide how to spilt up and sit at different tables even if it is for ONE single person that wont fit!! Lady told us we couldn't move a chair... that's ok, we wont eat here again.“

“Exceptional Service from Pam! I had the pleasure of being served by Pam during my recent visit to the Cracker Barrel in Montgomery, and I can’t say enough good things about her! From the moment we walked in, she greeted us with a warm smile and made us feel right at home. Pam was attentive, kind, and incredibly efficient—she anticipated our needs before we even had to ask and made sure everything was just right. It’s rare to find someone who combines professionalism with genuine hospitality the way she does. She truly made our dining experience special, and we’ll definitely be back thanks to her outstanding service. Cracker Barrel is lucky to have someone like Pam on their team!“
