Hopefully First Watch sees this and stays on top of their quality improvement. Everything else was great!

The long story short is - the place is GORGEOUS, the food is fine, the service was atrocious. Even with 4 people taking our orders 4 separate times, none of our orders got put in in a reasonable amount of time. It took 90 min to get our entrees. They were much smaller than described (the 1/4 chicken was just a chicken breast with about 1/2 cup of rice) and the prices are spendy for the portions. And that's coming from a Seattle resident who frequents farm to table there. In addition to all of that, the owner left the rudest response to my review on Google.. which was accurate but definitely on the kinder side. Disappointing to say the least.

We're new to Montgomery, and there are lots of breakfast joints to enjoy, and lots of Waffle Houses. But, this one is only a few blocks down the street from us, so we came for a quick bite to eat before starting our Saturday chores...and I'm glad we did. We were warmly greeted outside, as we approached the entrance (actually, as we were getting out of our car!). Then we were greeted as we came it. We were quickly shown to a table, which was clean, Lola quickly took our drink order and gave us time to choose from the menu. Prices were totally reasonable! I ordered a Texas Sausage and Egg Sandwich, and a side of hashbrowns chunked with diced ham and covered with country gravy, and hush puppies. Lola brought our order to our table lickety-split, and they were well-cooked, well-presented, well-seasoned, and well...they were just what my taste buds were pining for! Lola checked on us frequently and made us feel welcome and appreciated. We'll be back! Thank you, Lola!

I found the cleanest appt at the bar (just some crumbs...nothing sticky) and gave it a shot. I hadn't been to WH in years, as they aren't available where I live. I remember my time in high school and college with fond memories of WH. Thankfully, the food is the same. Chicken sandwich, waffle, and hashbrowns scattered covered and smothered. Tasty! They forgot the extras on the hashbrowns. Bacon on the chicken sandwich was very poor quality, so I set it aside. What I ate was good. But, man, was this place dirty! $20 for a chicken sandwich and a waffle. This location will likely close soon, if it doesn't do something to improve.

Mama's Sack Lunches is a small, unassuming luncheonette that also serves breakfast and should not be missed. My wife and I ordered medium breakfast bowls and we could barely finish them! The generous portion size was not the only highlight. I had to compliment them on having the most delicious grits I've ever tasted and walked out telling them that it was the best breakfast I've ever eaten. My wife said the same. So if you're in Montgomery, treat yourself to this thoroughly Southern flavorfest. You will not be disappointed. Mama's is simply the best there is! read more

We stopped going because the new management seemed to be more concerned about the profits than the customer experience. Several servers quit because of this. The food has really gone downhill, and the place was basically empty at lunch. Back before we stopped going there, if you didn't get there when the doors were opened, you were almost always guaranteed a wait. Even though it wasn't a long wait, the place was usually full. We got there about 11:15 am today and the place was almost empty. We only recognized one server from the past. The food wasn't fresh. We had the buffalo chicken salad and the buffalo chicken sandwich with fries. The Chicken tasted old and overcooked. The fries seemed to have been re-heated to death! It's sad, but the bread of the buffalo chicken sandwich was the best part of the meal. Don't think we'll be back anytime soon. That's sad because we have been eating lunch there at least once a week for years up until several months ago. The inside hasn't been updated in ages.

Empty plates remained at the table as our server regularly walked by empty handed. When we got our bill there was no offer of discount or anything to make up for the 30 min wait in addition to the normal wait for my daughter to get her food not the end of the world but more of principle of attempting to make things right for a guest. Paid the bill and got in the car, noticed on the bill we were also charged for the million dollar bacon that never arrived. Definitely not worth it and likely won't return unless requested by others in our party. All in all after our wait to be seated (not a big deal) once seated and orders in we were there an hr and a half.
