28 Best Southern Restaurants in Montgomery

“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“

“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“

“Went to celebrate my wedding evening with friends. Nothing is open in Montgomery on a Sunday for dinner. Googled and saw the reviews, pictures, and decided it would be a fun wedding night place. The food was amazing. The service was so friendly! All the servers, hostesses, everyone was so kind. All the people even eating in the restaurant! Very elegant atmosphere! They even gave us a champagne toast! The service blew us away (and I am from Birmingham, where there are tons of amazing restaurants) Will definitely be back!“

“I got the beef liver and onion. Real homemade flavors. You’re gonna want to set some time aside during and maybe after because it’s the kind of place to have you laying down on grandmas couch afterwards. Not a lot of parking so ordering ahead might be a good idea if you in a hurry. But don’t worry if you late and ate at Davis cafe you’ll end up where you supposed to be either way.“

“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.“

“Love this place! Staff always friendly and helpful. Chicken is excellent.
Mom introduced me to this place when I was 4, and been my favorite chicken ever since! We're living in Mobile Alabama now, but stopped just to pick up chicken for family dinner we are headed to in Birmingham ❤️“

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

“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!“

“We stopped off here going home to Tennessee from Florida. We were so sick of fast food and restaurants food. This was the best food we had the whole trip! My husband got the ribeye which was cooked perfectly. I got the double cheese burger, it was so juicy! The kids got chicken sandwiches, perfectly crunchy and juicy. Everyone loved their food. We got butter milk pie and had to order another one for the road. So good! Definitely stop off here! Great hidden gem“

“I took my boyfriend here for his birthday, i wanted to go somewhere romantic so we can dress up and my brother recommended the house, atmosphere and my waitress was amazing, i had the salmon with mushroom risotto and i paired it with a stella rosa black and his birthday dessert was a cheesecake and that was goood“

“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!“

“They did a wonderful job on a special order for a pork crown roast! Absolutely beautiful, tender, and delicious! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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!!“

“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!“

“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!“
