Beef tips with rice and gravy, cabbage, and yams
Jessica S.

We had lunch today at Mrs. B's Homecooking in Montgomery, and it was everything comfort food should be--satisfying, flavorful, and made with care. The beef tips with rice and gravy were tender and rich, the kind of dish that makes you slow down and savor every bite. The yams were perfectly sweet, almost like dessert, and the cabbage added a simple, earthy balance to the plate. The smothered pork chop was another standout--juicy and well-seasoned, nestled under a generous helping of savory gravy. The mac and cheese was creamy and indulgent, while the green beans were well-cooked and nicely seasoned. The portions were generous, the staff was kind, and everything tasted like it had been made in a real kitchen--not just prepped, but cared for. If you're looking for a solid, home-style meal in Montgomery, Mrs. B's delivers in a big way. We'll definitely be back.

Catfish Friday Special

Good home cooking at its best. Fried catfish can't be beat. A little off the interstate but worth. Welcomed in like family. Nothing fancy about it, but good food makes up for it

Fried Chicken Dark, Candy yams, Broccoli and cheese casserole
Aj W.

Worth the drive over to the west side - some of the best soul food I've ever experienced. They have a set daily menu of choices, along with several homemade desserts to choose from. Every meal comes with a sweet tea. Everything is delicious! They pack a lot of employees behind that counter and all are super friendly and helpful. They have a small drive up window and a small lobby, with a few tables inside and outside for sitting. I had the fried chicken and it was possibly the best I've ever had. Skin was very crispy and it was cooked fresh. I will definitely visit here when I am hungry and traveling I 65.

Turkey Wing. This plate was $14 and came with a drink. Insane.
Scott M.

I don't even know what to say. This might be, hands down, the greatest soul food place that I have ever seen or even heard of. I was stunned by the quality and variety of their offerings. I had trouble choosing what to get. I absolutely have to return and try more of the menu. I will certainly be back when I'm in the area. Oxtails, blackeyed peas, ribs, yams, butterbeans, mac and cheese, creamed corn, huge turkey wings, pork chops, neck bones, fried fish...you name it. Everything you need to make all your soul food dreams come true. Just incredible. The seasonings were permeating the air. The operation itself was simple and efficient. Order as you walk past the food and they heap big portions onto your plate. Pay at the end of the line. Take it to go or grab a table. Small space, no frills. The whole focus is the food. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but rest assured that the good food that you need to make your life complete is in there. Go in and get it. You will not regret it at all. So good. 5 stars.

Meat Loaf Thursday Special

True southern comfort food , the staff is friendly and helpful. Its is a small restaurant with a big heart. I ate here while visiting the city from Texas. Oh be on the lookout the tea is truly sweet tea!

The food line

I visited Mrs. B's during a recent trip to Montgomery, AL because my go-to place was not open. Mrs. B's is a small, cafeteria-style soul food restaurant which, surprisingly, also has a drive-thru. I came for lunch/dinner and, from the menu, it appears they have a set daily menu (there was also a huge breakfast menu, but I wasn't there for that). The lunch/dinner meals come with a protein, 2 sides, a cornbread muffin, and a drink (I got sweet tea - idk if there are other options). We ordered 3 fried chicken meals and here is my opinion of the food (I tasted everyone's sides. lol): -Fried chicken: Excellent crunch but I would've loved if the flavor carried thru to the meat. -Lima Beans: VERY GOOD!! Top 3 I've had. -Collard greens : I don't like sweet collard greens -Mac & cheese: Ehhh... Cornbread muffin: It tasted good and was cooked perfectly. -Rice: Under-salted -Corn: It was ok.

Smothered Pork Chops, Collard Greens, and Mac and Cheese
Jeremy S.

Whenever I come to Montgomery, I make it a point that my first stop is Mrs B's. Everything on the menu is real good wholesome food, the kind that our Grandmothers use to make. The portions are generous and you'll leave full for hours. The building isn't much to look at, but the kind ladies and food definitely overshadows that.

Breakfast
Joseph L.

This place is nothing to look at but the breakfast is amazing. I can't say enough how this is a hunny hole. Right down the road of day street gate at Maxwell AFB. Service was a little slow but they were busy. They do have a drive-up window. Inside is small area and rundown a little but the food is great. Did I say the food is great. It's definitely worth a visit. I will soon return and see what lunch is about. It truly is home cooking.

My wife and I were passing through Montgomery, when we decided we were hungry. My wife did two…read moredifferent AI restaurant searches and Martha's Place came up on both searches, as highly recommended and one of the best-known country cooking / soul food spots in Montgomery. Martha's Place it is... Upon arrival, Martha's place looked very upscale. Very nice building and many Mercedes and Cadillacs were parked out front. We started to wonder if we'd wandered into some rich neighborhood where the prices would be sky high! We walked in and a young lady greeted us and told us that lunch was $14 including a drink. GREAT! Everyone in the restaurant was amiable and helpful. (Staff and customers). We went to the buffet and loaded our plates with beautifully fried chicken and meatloaf for our proteins. For our sides we had collards, mashed potatoes, black eyed peas a couple of pieces of cornbread and some banana pudding for dessert. Then, the first weird thing happened. As we took our seats, the waiter that helped us get seated, told us that they only had one fork and one knife. We assumed he meant he would go back to the kitchen (or the dishwasher, or wherever) and get us another set. Meanwhile, the food looked SO GOOD, we immediately began sharing the fork and taking turns. MAN! THIS FOOD WAS GREAT! After a couple of minutes, we noticed the second weird thing... we were the only two white folks in the entire, crowded restaurant. And there were LOTS OF PEOPLE. They also do a huge to go business, so, the buffet station stays pretty busy with people coming and going. But, during the entire time we were there, there was not a single non-black customer in the house, except us. Not an employee. Not a customer. Not even a to go customer, just passing through - NOBODY. After about 5 or 6 minutes of taking turns with the fork, we decided our server must've forgotten about us. So, my wife went and asked and was informed they still didn't have any forks. (No. We were not being singled out, as my wife heard them tell another customer the same thing.) My wife asked if they had some plastic utensils, used for to go orders. They were able to oblige. Back to the food... The fried chicken was as good as any I've ever had and much better than any I've had in recent memory. The vegetables were also seasoned and prepared as good as any I've ever had - in a restaurant OR at home. The cornbread didn't have real corn in it, (like I prefer) but it was still some KILLER CORNBREAD. And the nanner puddin' was off the charts. I REALLY WANT some more of that nanner puddin'!! The staff were friendly and helpful and I have no idea why we were the only white folks in attendance. Maybe it was just a weird coincidence. But, I'll tell you this. The nice people at this restaurant KNOW HOW TO COOK. And I highly recommend this restaurant to ANYBODY -- No matter what color you are! My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience and we look forward to dining there again, the next time we pass through Montgomery. Go here. You won't get a better country meal - anywhere. P.S. You might want to bring a fork.

It is run by a husband-and-wife team from catering, food preparation to being the entire waiting staff - just the two of them doing everything. The food - southern cuisine - was already laid out buffet style in the main hall. At the far end of the hall were desserts. Drinks of water, orange juice and sweet tea were in the dining room to the left of the hall. Now the dining room is large enough area to accommodate a party of 40 (there were 28 of us). I don't care for southern cuisine, unless it's seafood. But I did like both fried and baked chickens, spinach and cabbages; had multiple helping of them. I wished rice was included. The abundance of spaces between the tables helped in reducing the noise level. I sat at one of the smaller tables so that helped a lot. The overall decor evokes a pre-1980s feel, and apparently so is the upkeep of the building. The service was good enough that I would have given it at least four stars. Then I went to the men's restroom. When I finished my business, I turned the doorknob to unlock and it came loose. I though: was the door unlocked the entire time? This was shocking. Anyone could have entered. For that, one star is removed. (Had someone entered while I was *ahem* busy, I would have deducted two stars.) The restroom doorknob issue is enough reason for me to not recommend O'Dessa's Blessings. I hope the owners have done something about that.

I could not get her attention, and another waitress was kind enough to get me some metal utensils to eat with.  The chicken is very good, nicely seasoned, tender, and the BBQ side sauce is very tasty with this chicken. The potatoes are very good but the Mac & Cheese was more cheese and few noodles. Overall a decent meal but the service was not very friendly or helpful.

The place is not the cleanest-- floors needed vacuuming, chairs were held together with duck tape.. but I pressed on hoping the food would redeem the space. Service was friendly. However, it was awkward listening to the waiter/waitresses/hostess/ kitchen staff have a conversation with each other across the entire restaurant. This was especially true after a patron sent something back and the kitchen came out loudly exclaiming that they wanted to see the food that "wasn't good enough." I had the fried chicken, greens, okra, and mashed potatoes. The chicken was fantastic. Perfectly cooked, juicy, and the tastiest fried skin/breading. That's where the goodness stops. The turnip greens were flavorless and complete mush, as though they had been sitting on the heat all day. Mashed potatoes were clearly from a box based on the consistency, color and flavor. Gravy had no flavor as well. There wasn't enough salt on the table to make it all better. The okra came out about 15min after we got our plates. It was fresh, but again, flavorless. My husband had the fried pork chop. It was just okay -- cooked well, zero flavor. Butter beans were good flavor wise, but definitely seemed to have been sitting for a while. It was odd to us that the only things you could get to drink were water, tea, lemonade, milk, and coffee. The second star is only for the chicken. I doubt we'll go back because the above experience for $50 is not worth it.
