Simply Southern Cafe

Montgomery Alabama Great start of the day with a great Southern meal with Simply Southern Cafe. A simple cafe run by people who loved to feed people with their good Southern food. It is cafeteria style run with set meals & prices attached.
It appears that they have different meals each day. As you enter, the menu board reflects the daily specials of the day. We had oxtail stew with 3 sides.
The stew was served on rice, for sides we had the green beans ( yummy), corn pudding (it was packed with corn & delicious), yam (it was cooked in brown sugar, quite sweet but oh soo..
yummy) served with corn bread or roll.
We opted for the corn bread. We had the pork chop & fried chicken meal.
The pork chop was coated with a dry rub & a light coating, you can taste garlic & onion taste to the fried pork chops.
Their fried chicken was outstanding, crispy in the outside & so moist on the inside even chicken breast which is challenging to deep fry while keeping the inside moist.
We also had Mac & Cheese as one of the sides, one of the best we had..
real cheddar cheese on the Mac. A most enjoyable Southern meal!

We’ve been wanting to try this place out for quite a while.
Today, we were in the area and definitely not disappointed and well with the wait.
Ribs were tender falling off the bone, cabbage and fried okra was perfectly seasoned.
Steadily stream of people coming in and the ladies behind the serving line kept it going.

I love a good Soul Food spot, and this is one of them! One of the best in Montgomery, AL! I dined in for lunch one day an hour after they opened and found that they were already out of Yams! I got turkey & dressing, mac & cheese, lima beans, a corn muffin, and peach cobbler.
Everything was on point EXCEPT the mac and cheese, which is weird cause theirs is always delicious without a question.
It tasted like it came out the box, but they put it in the oven. There was barely a line, and the customer service was friendly as ALWAYS.
The place was clean, and very festive!
