Personalized service, warm ambience and delicious, healthy food. Vegetarians are welcome with delicious fresh made veggies. Complimentary delicious fruit / nut dessert came with our lunch. Women running the restaurant are super friendly. We went twice in 24 hours! read more

A staple of Montgomery. My family has been going to d'road for years and will always recommend it.

This was one of my favorite spots back in the day. I decided to try it out again, now that I'm closer to the capital city. I have been here a couple of times recently and have fallen in love all over again. The food is always hot, fresh and ascetically pleasing with delightfully pleasant flavors. The owner is very present, warm and inviting. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to those I know. read more

We arrived at this restaurant on a Saturday afternoon after our first choice was closed, and we're so glad it worked out that way. The dining room is open and inviting, and we immediately felt in our element (except the air conditioner seemed to be set on max because it was cold in there!). The server showed us the daily menu on a small whiteboard, and we noticed that at the bottom it said that vegan and vegetarian options were available. We asked about them, and she had the chef come out and talk to us personally. Chef Janett gave us some options, and then whipped up a vegan plate of veggies and a masa-type bun that was delicious. She also presented fried sweet plantains, our favorite Latin dessert. We thoroughly enjoyed the meal and getting to meet Chef Janett. She's a jewel, and I wish we lived closer so we could visit again! read more

Upon first entering the restaurant noticed a sulphur water smell. Kind of like rotten eggs. I walked out and waited for my husband to pay for parking but our only other option wasn't appealing. We decided to give it a try because of the reviews and the warm greeting I received upon first entering the restaurant. I'm so glad that we decided to stay! This is a precious family owned restaurant with the nicest people. The coffee was phenomenal as well as the two homemade hot sauce. The owner came out after beginning to eat our fabulous breakfast and introduced herself and asked if we'd like anything else. She saw me putting more of her homemade veggie salsa on my plate and offered her other special hot sauce made with milk she kept in the fridge. I accepted and so glad I did. She told us that her family is chemical free and her coffee is her favorite and drinks it all day. It was delicious and I had three cups when I usually only have one or two at the most. The decorations are very nice with a comfy with an inviting atmosphere. Very clean and the ladies room was as well. We will stop again upon passing through. Such a great experience. read more

A breakfast like no other. Everything about this place is amazing. However, if you are going to order one thing you need to get the Sunrise Arepa. The cornmeal flour stuffed shell combined with the ham egg and cheese will make you second guess any other breakfast again in your life. This place is truly a hidden gem. read more

I'm so excited that I finally got to come to one of their special menu nights! They do them every Friday and you can find out what's the theme on their social media. We came to their Peruvian night and it was very nice. We had a great time, the owner and chef are so nice. Everything was delicious, my favorite things were the salad and ceviche. They were both sooo refreshing and tasty. Definitely will have to come back. read more

My wife and I were in town recently for a meeting she had at the State Court of Appeals. We stopped by this nice little restaurant afterwards, and were very please. I don't recall what we each had for lunch, but we both agreed that our meals were exceptional. There was no wait time for seating, and our meal was delivered to our table quickly after ordering. We will definitely be paying another visit to this fine establishment the next time we have business in Montgomery. read more

The chicken and waffle.... Man, The chicken and waffle..... It is put together different, but I loved The chicken and waffle! Venezuelan food mmhmm!!! The homemade pepper sauce they put on the table is a delight to the senses and severs were amazing making customers comfortable! I choose D' Road Cafe one morning passing through Alabama and I'm glad i did because they did not disappoint me. I love my flavor being from NOLA and I love your flavor as well D' Road Cafe. Great atmosphere, amazing people, and delectable food! 5/5 for sure. read more

The food was amazing!! Had brunch with my family. The owner was terrific made special breakfast just for my grandchildren. She was so sweet and accommodating to all of us !! Thank you for a great meal and experience. read more

So we walked in to this place and asked for a menu - the answer that I got already made me a fan of the place before starting our meal! She said "We don't have menus or waiters. I try to keep it as home like as possible. When you go to your moms kitchen, she doesn't give you a menu, she tells you what she can make and makes what you pick, same here, today I have crazy eggs, omelette and...(something else that I don't remember)". I took her suggestion and ordered the crazy eggs. She added chicken and made it spicy like we wanted! Expertly presented and deliciously made. They have pickled peppers and other veggies in mason jars at every table for garnishing and they were fresh and delish! The location was great, right in downtown and there were parking spots (paid on weekdays) right in front. The ambience was lively (I believe they remodeled some other business into a restaurant - they were pretty creative and made a very interesting decor) and the price was right! We only had 2 hours to spend in this town but we were extremely pleased we spent one of those eating here! read more

Came to D' Road Cafe and well it was underwhelming from a breakfast perspective... Food temperature was warm at best, eggs where overcooked and while trying to please an array of palates, they are mediocre at best. Not worth the breakfast visit, maybe their lunch is better... read more

You can choose anywhere you want to sit, then you go up to the bar and order a plate. I got the lunch plate, and because I'm vegetarian, they let me have some of each non-meat side they had. My favorite was the sweet potato noodles. They were seasoned perfectly! I couldn't even tell they were potatoes. my fiance had breakfast. He ordered a veggie omelet. The inside was really good but the outside was overcooked in our opinion. If you like your omelet more like a golden crust then you'll love it. That's the only reason we're giving them 4 stars and not five. The tea comes with the lunch and was tasty as well. Not overly sweet like sweet tea can be. Lunch also includes dessert! It was a bread-like cake with some kind of fruity sauce, whipped cream, and chocolate sauce! The staff were very quick to serve us as well. Great option if you are vegetarian or vegan and need a quick eat. read more

I read the review about the woman entering the restaurant and the person working there saying they needed a reservation. But what seemed typical of montgomery, was, the excuse ridden reply by the "owner" was ridiculous. How about you learn how to operate a business appropriately. Put up a sign saying reservations only. You act like they were supposed to be mind readers. Shameful read more

INCREDIBLE!!! Wow, this food was some of the best breakfast I've ever had. Southern with a Venezuelan twist. The owner is so lovely and personable, and the restaurant is unconventional and funky. Amazing sweet tea. 6 STARS read more

Say you're from Latin America looking for good food in Montgomery. You'll be shit out of luck for the most part, until you come to D'Road Cafe. The place is small in a large strip mall. The owner/operator is a really nice woman who comes around and takes your order by listing off what she has in the kitchen and allowing you to pick one. I can see why yelpers are so taken with this place. The owner is social and outgoing, taking time to chat up the patrons and coo at the babies. I told her to surprise me and she picked the pulled pork. The food definitely has that home-cooked feel but alas, did not produce a foodgasm. For those more interested in quantity, you'd be disappointed as the guy I was with kept talking about eating another meal after we left. The biggest thumbs-down aspect of this place is that there is NO A/C. New England with no A/C... I can see that. ALABAMA in the blazing heat of summer with no A/C?? It's borderline some sort of human rights violation. The bathroom is even more of a steam pot. We left with sweaty armpits and an uncomfortable layer of sweat on our upper lips. Trust me, am Chinese, I totally understand being environmentally conscience and wanting to save on the utilities bill and all, but under these circumstances, not providing A/C is simply not reasonable. read more

Never again!!! If you are hungry, avoid this place. Food is served in some kind of thin wooden looking plates and not feeling at all. It's a 1 trip buffet that is served for you at $20. per person for lunch. Expensive and not worth it. read more

Ms. Janet owns this place and she just made me the best paella. It was a long day at the hospital and I needed good food. I got that, great service and the most genuine conversation in a long time. Thank you, Ms Janet. read more

The best restaurant in Montgomery, the owner is such a wonderful lady and she always goes out of her way to satisfy her customers. I have visited here at least once a week since they opened and will continue to do so, I alwa recommend this place to friends and family! Love it!!! read more

Delicious brunch; kind, very sweet owner; and incredible homemade "hot sauce". Highly recommend trying this place for a fun place to eat!

We were passing through Montgomery, and we needed to stop for a late breakfast. We had never been to Montgomery before, and relied on Yelp to find somewhere that would fit the bill. To keep it short, all the positive reviews here are right on the mark. The food was reasonably priced, hot, and delicious. The service was friendly and fast, and Janett (the owner and chef) was delightful. I can only wish I lived closer, so I might go more often! I can't recommend this place highly enough. read more

I can't say enough good things about this experience except that I will be back....and often. The owner was the SWEETEST woman I have ever met. It's a family style dining concept featuring made from scratch Venezuelan cuisine and she occasionally does a global day featuring cuisine from across the continent. I couldn't decide what I wanted as I stood looking over the buffet style arrangement so she politely says "Here I will put a little extra on your plate. Just make sure you eat it all mi amore." Then I got to speaking to her about the allepas they serve . It's like a Mexican Gordita.....it's made of corn meal or matza. It's an extremely hard to find dish in these parts. She explained to me the difference between the Mexican corn meal and Venezuelan corn meal and said "Wait 5 minutes mi amore and momma will make you one. What do you like in it?" I said "Hook it up momma! I trust you." She brought me out not 1 but 2 different LOADED allepas. This is a genuinely good person that has TOP NOTCH food. I felt like I was at a relatives house. It was a great feeling only surpassed by the INCREDIBLY delicious food. Thanks momma....or mi amore I should say... read more

Delicious healthy Authentic food! Other Owner/Chef will come out and see how your meal is and is very hospitable, along with every employee. Friday nights are "international night" she has a four course meal from a different country every week! We have went twice and enjoyed both very much. They also have very reasonably priced lunches and breakfast. read more

Great location, phenomenal staff, amazing owner. Absolutely loved the empanadas. Must have!

She is one of the nicest women I have met. She treats everyone like her child and knows me by name after about 3 visits. Her food is amazing, the atmosphere is pleasant, and the food is healthy without compromising on taste. I would recommend coming on an international night to get a good feel for the type of food she prepares. Bring your appetite! read more

This was my first visit to D'Road Cafe in its current location. Initially I was disappointed to learn that Friday night is "International Night," consequently the Venezuelan / Latin American food that I expected was not available. But I suspected that I was in good hands, and I was right. The theme was Greek and the food and service were excellent. First course was a delightful chopped cucumber salad with feta cheese. Next was an appetizer with thin-sliced summer squash, red bell pepper, eggplant, topped with pieces of lobster in a light sauce with herbs and tiny slices of onion. The taste and presentation was first-rate. Next was the main course: Generous amounts of lamb, beef steak and chicken served atop two large pieces of pita. The dish also included a small amount of hummus, two falafels and a large slice of lightly fried queso fresco. To conclude the meal was a small flaked pastry with a drizzle of honey and filled with a hevenly coconut cream. D'Road is a small, unpretentious restaurant but the chef, Ms. Malpartida, is a talented and creative chef. Her establishment provides a great value in a friendly, welcoming environment. read more

We stopped here while we were in town. My husband got the french toast and I got empanadas. He said the French toast was good and he got the fresh squeezed pineapple juice which he said was amazing. My food was ok, the empanada was mostly dough, very little meat. The taste was ok, my neighbor makes way better. And their sweet tea was not sweet tea at all. They actually should explain that when you order. When asked what was wrong with the tea and I told her it didn't taste right, and that was being nice, she said they use lime and natural sweetener because sugar is blah and bad for you. Well if I had known that I would have skipped it all together. Then she asked if I tasted the sauce that came with my food, I told her yes and she stood there for a minute like she was waiting for me to rave about it. It too was ok, nothing special. Then as we were leaving I had to use the bathroom. All I could say is OMG it look like a prison bathroom right down to the toilet, there was some kind of plastic molding on the toilet to made it taller and it was gross and dirty !! Wish I would have loved this spot. The decor was cute until I saw random pieces of rug nailed to the walls. read more

Came to this place while visiting Montgomery. It was a nice change of pace from the usual Americana food in these areas. The service was fantastic and the servers were very friendly. Food was great!

Nice friendly restaurant! The menu is handwritten as I read in the website, they serve different food everyday. The environment is neat and cute. Today we ordered criollo and crazy eggs. Both of them are amazing and filling! With the check-in in yelp, we got a free dessert offer. Even though they don't make dessert at the time we were in, they still managed to custom-made a dessert for us. We will definitely come back to try different menu! read more

We can't say enough good things about this place. We had planned lunch elsewhere, but when we found a parking spot it was right in front of D'road, so we decided to give it a try. It is unlike most dining experiences. When you walk in, you choose your seats and then go get your drinks. Coffee, water, unsweet tea, or sweet tea. Lemon is already added, be prepared! I wasn't expecting it, but it wasn't too much so still good. Then you go up to the counter. Ms.Jeanette will walk you through all of the options. Everything is amazingly well prepared and delicious. Different options on different days, so you never know what you are going to get, but all of it will be delicious! You will wish Me. Jeanette was your Venezuelan grandmother! You feel like family. It's very relaxed. It's all healthy and she has many Paleo & gluten free options also. It's extremely clean also. I may not have stopped if I had known there wasn't a menu, but I am so glad that I did. The vegetarian lasagne made my day! read more
