I know a lot of folks do not care for chicken livers but if you do, you must try these. They were cooked perfectly, and the fried green tomatoes never disappoint. If you are in a hurry, be patient. Two things to know, #1, there might not be more than a couple servers working and more than likely they are busting their buns waiting on tables, #2, most of the food that you order will be cooked as it's ordered. Do not expect to get your order 5 minutes after it's placed. But, it's worth the wait to me. Not everyone agrees, but this is my review. The staff has ALWAYS been super nice and attentive as much as possible. I don't get upset if the server is not standing by waiting to fill my drink or get me an extra napkin. I have seen people get upset with the server and in most cases, it's not their fault. Be patient if you order fried chicken, it will not be ready in 5 minutes. I'm just sayin,,,,,,

By the time you get up there to pay and get your drink cup, the food is already coming up. I ordered the pull pork plate with 2 sides and a drink for $11! Can't beat that price. The fries came out hot, the pork was juicy, and the greens flavorful. Doesn't come with sauce on it but there's plenty of options on the dressing table to pick from. The only downside is the parking situation... it's insanity, with folks here in work trucks, cars, motorcycles, you name it. The line just to get in the door can be long, but the staff does a great job of getting people in & out within the time of their lunch break. Pack your patience & give them a try!

Pulling up here to a full parking lot before noon on a Monday was an early sign that I was in for a…read morereal treat. 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. I walked in and there was a line, but it moved fast and the helpless taking our our orders were friendly. The inside is pretty much low on ambiance, but the food is the real star here. 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.

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!

This BB King's is situated inside of the WindCreek Casino in Montgomery and is their "house"…read morerestaurant. While staying at the casino we visited BB King's on a few occasions from lunch to drinks. Each visit we bellied up to or swung by the bar. For lunch we sat at the inside bar and grabbed a few plates to share along with cocktails. I went with the BBQ chicken nachos, which looked like a good portion size and were coated well with sauce, however they were extra stingy with the chicken. It must have been two tenders worth of chicken. The drinks were light pours, but decent for a casino drink...definitely better than what you got from the casino floor. Prices are as expected, nothing wild, but higher than your average spot given its location. Service was hit and miss with each visit. Sometimes they were on point, other times they were not. Overall, given your minimal options when at the casino, this place serves its purpose. I wouldn't come off the streets or out of my way to come here, but for what it is and where it is, it works.

I did get the banana bread pudding to go and I would say that it wasn't the best in taste (tasted artificial and sorta flowery and plasticly and the cream or whatever that was supposed to come with it tasted rubbery and thick). So I wouldn't recommend the banana bread pudding. But like I said everything else was good. They had seating inside and an outside veranda.

Fat Boy's is an order at the counter place. It has a large dining room and even some patio spots. It's no frills.

Both lacked the smoke flavor that I expected. The BBQ sauce is rich with a bit of sweetness. Onion rings and okra were both fried perfectly and had good flavor. Even the tea is freshly brewed on the stove instead of in a machine. The portion size was decent for a combo. . I struggled with deciding between a 3 or 4. If I could give a 3.5, I would.

I'd just flown into town and we were looking for breakfast. We found this place near downtown…read moreMontgomery. There was a small crowd there when we entered but it really began filling up while we were there. The restaurant offers breakfast entrees, sandwiches, and lunch items. The specials on the day that we went included smothered chicken and a funnel cake waffle. When I saw that, I assumed it was a twist on chicken and waffles. But, the lady at the cash register explained to me that those were two separate things. We ended up trying the smothered chicken and we got an order of chicken and waffles from the regular menu. The food came out quickly. The smothered chicken was a meat and two plate and okra and breakfast potatoes were the chosen sides. The waffle was cool and very dry. The fried chicken tenders were hot and juicy but they had absolutely no seasoning on them. I ended up eating one tender and half of the waffle before stopping. The smothered chicken didn't appear to be very "smothered". It also lacked seasoning along with the okra and home fries. The chicken tenders, okra, and home fries were all cooked well. This is a place where you pick up the menu, order at the counter, take a number, and find a table. The dining area is small but charming. We were hoping for really good food based on the reviews but it was still nice to try this place.
