For me, the meats just missed the mark. I had the pulled pork, which really just felt dry and unseasoned pork, loosely pulled and dowsed with sauce. The boneless rib tips were interesting, and tasted ok, but I believe ribs or brisket would have been the better choice. Baked beans were solid, Cole slaw lacked any of the sweetness or flavor I was hoping for. It was great having real sweet tea again and the hospitality didn't miss. If I returned, I'd have to adjust my order. People were friendly and the place was welcoming, a great in-and-out spot for lunch in downtown Montgomery.

Brenda's is still the place to go for ribs, but they were a bit off this time. The quality of the…read moremeat was not as good and tender this time around. Is it becoming harder to source the quality tender ribs or are the quality ribs becoming more scarce or inaccessibly expensive? Whatever the case may be, things took a back step this time and the ribs did not have the smoked taste as I have experienced before. Did the ribs need to be on a little longer? I ordered three slabs and large sides of potato salad, baked beans, and coleslaw. Surprisingly, the baked beans were the weakest of the three. The potato salad was markedly better and the coleslaw was the best for my tastes. I still maintain Brenda's is the place to get great smoked ribs, but this weekend was not their best effort. Brenda's is the best place to get your bones in Montgomery and I take them back with me to NYC because they're that good. 4.0 stars!

I know people throw out places like Texas, the Carolinas and Tennessee as barbecue meccas, but I stand by my claim that some of the best barbecue comes from the great state of Alabama and Fatman's is great proof of my claim.

Since it was packed inside, I got my food to-go and ate at a nearby park. I had the pulled pork plate with camp stew and potato salad. Everything was absolutely wonderful. I would definitely recommend here and I give it five stars.

The fried rice was good, but I think it could have used a little more spice, but then again it's possible I needed to cleanse my palate from the wings. The service was friendly though it did take a bit for someone to come to the counter. Inside was nice and had a good amount of seating if you wanted to eat in with a group, and ample parking in the lot outside as it's within a shopping plaza. I'm not in Alabama too often, but I save this place to my maps listing as it's well worth another visit.

This included the pimento cheese board, wedge salad, entree, and small dessert. It is a tiny bit pricey for the size of the entrees, but was worth it for the private space, service, and quality.

First, let me say, I've tried a variety of foods from Joe's and everything I've had is good. My favorite by far though has got to be the bbq rib dinner. It's filling even for the hungriest appetite. It's hot, smoky, juicy and tender and you get four that have plenty of meat on them. The dinner comes with two sides. We usually get the potato salad and baked beans to go with our meal but there are a lot of options to choose from. I've also had the grouper and fries and the grouper is also good though it's a smaller meal than the ribs. I got three finger length pieces that were crispy on the outside and flaky on the inside. I had fries and a slice of grilled French bread with mine. If you want something sweet after your meal they have several desserts to choose from and they are homemade. My favorite is the key lime cake. The four layer cake is a generous portion with just the right ratio of cake to icing and so moist it just melts in your mouth! I like it so much I can't bring myself to try anything else. If you're having trouble deciding what you want for dinner, try this little place on Fairview Avenue which offers plenty of variety from sandwiches and salads to bbq ribs and fish and everything in between. There's something for everyone at Joe's Again.

When we went there in 2021, it was fairly good. The older waitresses oozed the old south charm. And…read morethe food? It was like a good Southern family home cooking place. Now, I don't know what has happened since then, but something did. To begin with, the place always looked "used". It had been there a long time and that's expected but this time the chairs looked badly worn and the carpet was in need of help. But it looked clean over all. The workers were friendly but very busy. They had a teenage boy who seated us who was in need of some grooming. But he was polite, so we let it slide. The waitress was very casual and nice as well. But it looked like this one poor lady was handling the entire side of the place by herself. I can overlook all of the above if the food is good but... To begin with, I ordered the same meal I ate in 2021 and yes, I remembered it! As a turkey lover, I recalled it as a Thanksgiving kind of meal that I enjoyed which was why I ordered it again. It was billed on the menu as: Sliced turkey, stuffing, three sides and cranberry sauce. I could eat Thanksgiving 365! And that first time was like reliving Thanksgiving at Moms. Not this time. Aside from being out of broccoli (which limited the green sides down to green beans and/or collard greens- which I do not like) there was an issue with things not being as presented in the menu. The "stuffing" or "dressing" was a small heap of mushy something. It was thin, watery and bland. Horrible! The "sliced turkey" was fractured white meat of turkey, fractured so much that it seemed to meld into the mushy dressing. The two were undiscernable. And it, too, was bland. There was something they called turkey gravy but it was definitely a canned or otherwise prepackaged gravy: bright yellow in color and gloppy in texture. The mashed potatoes were fine, a little salty but fine, though I am not sure if they were homemade or from mix or what. The "green beans" were not what I had before. Before I had what, at worst, had been frozen green beans, though well-seasoned and cooked through. This time I was given Italian beans from a can that had no flavor to them. And then there was the mac n cheese. The test of a good Mom and Pop place is the M&C and this batch failed. Over cooked elbow macaroni in a non-saucy glob of light orange gunk that tasted like flour and not cheesy at all. If that sounds bad, worse was the pie. They used to serve cake and some damn good cake, too! But we were told today they serve pies. I ordered the lemon meringue. I make lemon meringue pie so I know fully well what one should taste and look like and this was NOT it! The fill looked like leftover banana pudding with the bananas extracted. It wasn't set and the meringue slid off of it. The meringue itself had a wateriness that I couldn't quite figure out but it was lightly toasted on top. The corn muffins were good, though they could have gone without being dunked in butter. Over all, I cannot give this place the report I would have liked to have given a landmark in Montgomery. Its sad, too.

The two meat came with another side so chose the broccoli casserole. Had I come on the day when the fried green tomatoes or fried okra were the option, I definitely would have swapped out the broccoli casserole. Generous portions and I easily could have split this meal with someone. They definitely know southern cooking here. It's not a fancy place by any means, just good cooking. Our server seemed a bit tired or put out, I couldn't tell which thus the 4 stars. I did go later afternoon following the lunch rush so that could have been the issue.
