Reviews for Simply Southern Cafe in Montgomery, AL
The area around it looks distressed, but don?t judge a book by its cover. This is a great meat & three. I had some excellent... meatloaf, Mac & cheese, mashed potatoes, and yams at this place. It is not heart nor diet friendly! Spent around $10. Thestaff were really friendly. Read more
Purchased the oxtails plate with 3 sides. Let me start with I only received 4 oxtails with so much fat on them it was ridiculous... (I eat oxtails all the time) never had them with that much fat. Second the rice was bland no type of seasoning no salt, butternothing. Third the Mac & cheese tasted like nothing but cheese and not the good cheese. Fourth the dinner roll was dry nobutter, like they got it out the pack and served it. The best items I received was the green beans and dressing even tho thedressing was kinda dry the gravy made up for it tho. Very disappointed for almost $30. I will stick to my Jamaican restaurantfor now on!! FYI soul food has flavor?? Read more
The food was delicious. It was well seasoned, hot, and the portions were good. We actually dined in and then ordered food to go... for dinner. Also, they have a different menu everyday so depending on when you go you will be able to get something differentevery time. Staff was courteous and professional and the owner greeted us at the door. I would recommend this familyrestaurant to everyone. Read more
I didn't have a good experience coming to this place. It came highly recommended by hotel staff so we took a chance. I wish we... wouldn't have. The portions were terrible for the price. The fish was so hard i thought i was eating fish cracklings. I askedfor sweet potatoes and string beans. A and a roll. One chicken wing was $3.00 and two drinks. My total was $26.00 and somechange. They gave me a piece of sweet potato, and a half a spoon of string green beans. I don't eat a lot and i was stillhungry. I do not recommend this over priced place. The staff was not pleasant at all i assume its not a good place to work. Alady from the kitchen came out to give me a piece of foil, that they didn't have. There is no reason that they can give thatwould justify the serving sizes. I ran a business where i served food for four years. If you can't give people a healthy servingthen you need to raise prices i expect better servings considering that both tasted as though they were from the can. Thistype of service is why people of color never raise to the top. Poor service, poor quality food, over priced. Lets do better. Lastly this place looked like it was pieced together the chairs were tattered and torn. The serving area was no better thesilverware was not protected. They were wrapped in paper towel. Im not sure who put this place together but they need to closeand hire someone to help with the presentation. Do better!! Read more
My wife and I drove over 300 miles to taste this food. The food was so good I forgot to take a picture. ????The parking lot was... full. The line wasn?t long at all. Menus are visible to get an idea of what you?d want. You can also call their menu line tohear what they?re serving. The gentleman greeted us at the door. Atmosphere was pleasant. Free drink if you?re paying cash. Read more
