The place seemed a little under staffed but the wait/bus person was moving constantly ( only regret I didn't get her name to mention in this review). All the food was hot and replenished quickly when it ran low. My only complaint is that none of the food was labeled so it was a guessing game what you were adding g to your plate. At under $20 pp this is a great value and it is all you can eat so no complaints about portion size!

I hit it and so glad I did! the fried chicken was perfect, all the veggies were perfectly seasoned.

Me too! I have got to make a Sunday trip through to enjoy dressing and maybe Thursday too for meatloaf mmmm. I will be back Martha!!! Greg

My wife and I were passing through Montgomery, when we decided we were hungry. My wife did two…read moredifferent AI restaurant searches and Martha's Place came up on both searches, as highly recommended and one of the best-known country cooking / soul food spots in Montgomery. Martha's Place it is... Upon arrival, Martha's place looked very upscale. Very nice building and many Mercedes and Cadillacs were parked out front. We started to wonder if we'd wandered into some rich neighborhood where the prices would be sky high! We walked in and a young lady greeted us and told us that lunch was $14 including a drink. GREAT! Everyone in the restaurant was amiable and helpful. (Staff and customers). We went to the buffet and loaded our plates with beautifully fried chicken and meatloaf for our proteins. For our sides we had collards, mashed potatoes, black eyed peas a couple of pieces of cornbread and some banana pudding for dessert. Then, the first weird thing happened. As we took our seats, the waiter that helped us get seated, told us that they only had one fork and one knife. We assumed he meant he would go back to the kitchen (or the dishwasher, or wherever) and get us another set. Meanwhile, the food looked SO GOOD, we immediately began sharing the fork and taking turns. MAN! THIS FOOD WAS GREAT! After a couple of minutes, we noticed the second weird thing... we were the only two white folks in the entire, crowded restaurant. And there were LOTS OF PEOPLE. They also do a huge to go business, so, the buffet station stays pretty busy with people coming and going. But, during the entire time we were there, there was not a single non-black customer in the house, except us. Not an employee. Not a customer. Not even a to go customer, just passing through - NOBODY. After about 5 or 6 minutes of taking turns with the fork, we decided our server must've forgotten about us. So, my wife went and asked and was informed they still didn't have any forks. (No. We were not being singled out, as my wife heard them tell another customer the same thing.) My wife asked if they had some plastic utensils, used for to go orders. They were able to oblige. Back to the food... The fried chicken was as good as any I've ever had and much better than any I've had in recent memory. The vegetables were also seasoned and prepared as good as any I've ever had - in a restaurant OR at home. The cornbread didn't have real corn in it, (like I prefer) but it was still some KILLER CORNBREAD. And the nanner puddin' was off the charts. I REALLY WANT some more of that nanner puddin'!! The staff were friendly and helpful and I have no idea why we were the only white folks in attendance. Maybe it was just a weird coincidence. But, I'll tell you this. The nice people at this restaurant KNOW HOW TO COOK. And I highly recommend this restaurant to ANYBODY -- No matter what color you are! My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience and we look forward to dining there again, the next time we pass through Montgomery. Go here. You won't get a better country meal - anywhere. P.S. You might want to bring a fork.

The baked spaghetti was very good, well baked with plenty of flavor and the fried chicken tenders were also tasty and cooked just right. The bread was perfect: warm, soft, and easily one of the highlights of the meal. Unfortunately, the garden salad didn't live up to the rest of the food. The vegetables tasted like they had been sitting mixed together for a while, almost as if they'd been combined days earlier, so the individual flavors were hard to distinguish. The staff were pleasant and polite, though the service felt a little low-energy. On the positive side, the price was decent and fair for the amount of food. Overall, some items were definitely enjoyable, especially the baked spaghetti, chicken tenders, and bread, but the salad and slightly bland service kept the experience from being outstanding.

We easily found a comfortable booth, and our server, Debby, quickly took our drink orders and we grabbed our plates and headed to the food bars. I had a helping of dressing, topped with a savory beef stew, and added sweet yams, fried green tomato slices, chicken-fried steak, and fried mushrooms. I also took the opportunity to try fried liver nuggets and fried gizzards (not bad at all!). Back at our table I found a large glass of cold sweet tea waiting for me (nicely brewed, extra sweet, just the way I like it!). It all tasted so good and full of southern comfort. I appreciated the friendly, frequent service of Debby. We've long been fans of buffet-style restaurants. We are newly-moved to Montgomery, and eager to find new eating places, and Fried Tomato Buffet has earned a spot on our prestigious, discerning list of favorites! We appreciated the words of wisdom and encouragement, the cleanliness, the service, the affordable price, the wide selection, the friendly welcome, and the free rewards club membership. Only one small caution: the entrance is an attractive, double-door entrance, but the right-hand door, as you approach the entrance is bolted shut, and the left-hand door opens outward only partially! It caught us by surprise...no sign or warning was posted on the outside to give us any warning! Upon entering we did see a sign posted on the inside, a notification that the door opens only "half way"! Maybe post a sign outside the door? Maybe modify the door hardware? However, Fried Green Tomato is a strong 4-point favorite for us. Thank you, Destiny and Debby, for helping to make our experience comfortable and enjoyable. We'll be back!
