For those unfamiliar, the salmon croquette made its way into Southern cooking during the…read moreDepression, when poverty and pellagra were common. The latter, a horrible disease brought on by lack of protein, ran rampant among African Americans whose diets lacked it. In the 1920s, canned salmon could be had for pennies. Add an egg and you'd have enough protein to stave off the disease for a week. The inventive cooks in the Black community found ways to make it delicious, by adding chopped onion and binding it with the salmon liquor from the can and breadcrumbs. Like so many Southern dishes that arose from need, the salmon croquette has kept the spot it earned on the soul food roster. The salmon patty was a reputed favorite of author William Faulkner who was said to enjoy them quite a lot with liquor. (Or with quite a lot of liquor, I'm unsure which.) An excellent salmon patty can be had at Greg's Breakfast Bar. According to the sign on the front door, it's the best in Alabama, and I'll not dispute it. It's what I ordered on this most recent visit and although I've not personally sampled its rivals, it would be hard to imagine a better one. When I was a kid, my own mother--who grew up during the Depression--made them every Tuesday. (Greg's may be better. Sorry, Mom.) There's no liquor served at Greg's, so I had to eat my salmon croquette with coffee. For $10 at Greg's, you too can sample the best salmon croquette in Alabama. Other local faves like Conecuh sausage line the GBB menu. Eggs and grits accompany the breakfast plates, which make up the left half of the menu. Breakfast sandwiches occupy the other half. Greg's is open early (5:30 a.m. if memory serves), and stays open until lunchtime. When my travels take me through Montgomery--as they did last week on a drive from Pensacola to Atlanta--Greg's is a quick detour off of 65 or 85. I timed my drive accordingly. The interior is classic diner, vinyl and stainless . SEC memorabilia and signed player photos decorate the place. Everybody seems to know Greg. The crowd is local. Parking limited. Makes no difference. Park on the street.

They're only open on Saturdays and Sundays so you gotta catch em on the weekend. Seating inside is a bit tight but open for groups and there is bar seating.

I even took a biscuit to go. The porkchops were huge, fried to perfection, and flavorful. Please be patient. They make everything to order, and perfection takes time.

We won't be going back for a good while if ever.

Love the decor on the wall which has charming display. The server Donavon was so cool, young at heart..... the place was a bit noisy and crowded, but tolerating....

My grandbaby must have enjoyed, because she ate her complete meal, except for a small amount of her bacon... She even had an audience observing her which was at the table beside us... they were tickled how a Lil person her age reacted to her plate..

It defies all logic of concept. It's not a restaurant, but it is. It's not a grocery store, but is.... It's not a liquor store, but... It's such an interesting evolution of business man. You could never just start something like this. It's just been percolating for a good while and just evolving along the way. They now are in the whole building they lease as the concept has grown. I love to see a family business evolve and grow! It's call Derk's Filet and Vine. I was thinking steakhouse when I heard we were going here. It is a butcher shop (slash) wine and beer store (slash) grocery store (slash) caterer (slash) that happens to also sell a wildly popular Meat and Three Caferteria Style lunch that lines up people sometimes in the hundreds. Insanity. My reasons for being here are even more insane to be honest. Nonetheless, I am so glad to have had the opportunity to see this place while I am still alive. The folks working here are fantastic! Super helpful and friendly. I dig some AL hospitality! I had never been to Montgomery before. My lunch was too freaking notch!! Yum. Yum! I'll be back. It's in the stars. Written well before you or I were around or awake to realize. Can't wait to eat some fried chicken next time!! '26 - 33

I modified the BLT by removing the bacon and adding grilled chicken; that's a 10/10 as well.

I was very surprised by this spot. The staff, of course, was busy with the after-church crowd, but they did a great job seating us.

My eggs were undercooked she (manager) did replace them but they came out undercooked again. They took off $4. One cup of coffee was $3 and my husband asked for one refill and they brought a smaller cup. The fresh fruit on the pancakes are not fresh it was frozen besides the blueberries. They also forgot our pancakes so it took us another 10 minutes longer to get. The server came to our table once to check on us. I would not recommend this to family friends. Our total for our two person breakfast was $59.40. Without tip. It also states on the menu if you use cash the bill is less by 3.5% but we said we were using cash and he could've said OK just leave it and wouldn't give us a total. Very disappointing
