I had fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and butter peas. The potatoes and peas were fresh and delicious. The chicken was crispy, juicy, and delicious. My wife had a vegetable plate. She said all the vegetables were fresh and tasty. The portions for both of us were plentiful. The sweet tea was great.
We always try to get Charlotte Elaine as our server. She is friendly and does a great job.
We go to Montgomery on business. We usually try to eat at Martin's every time we go.
Driving through. Montgomery Tuesday and my boss picked this place. I was not excited about it but he is the boss. It was wonderful. My family grew up in Dothan and Enterprise area and it was like I had gone home to eat lunch at my grandmothers. Great fried chicken and vegetables and friendly service. The place was packed with a cross section of the city and everyone was friendly and gracious. Big portions of great food servered pretty quickly and hot. Just a wonderful southern restaurant.
Delicious FREE sweet tea!
Need I say more?
Well yes actually, their mac n cheese already had salt and pepper in it! Now that's some real home cooking!
Awesome REAL home cooked food, getting harder to find these days. If you're a foodie? This place won't disappoint you, especially if you enjoy southern food. Yum!
The food was awesome the service was awesome and the only thing I regret is that I got too full to the eat the pie! Got to go back just for dessert and coffee even though it’s an hour and 15 minute drive for us we will be going back soon!
Very friendly staff from the gentleman in the kitchen to the ladies in the front of the house. The fried chicken and hamburger steak with gravy are amazing!! Thank you Martin's Restaurant for feeding the body AND soul!!
Absolutely classic Southern cooking. Lunch (Dinner in the South) is an event. The staff is fast and friendly, the atmosphere is more akin to eating at someone's home or kitchen table. The fried chicken, peas, greens, and cornbread are good enough to make your tongue try to slap your teeth right out. Martin's is a monument to good food. If you eat there once, you will want to go back.
I was there at opening and was seated immediately. I went to sample legit southern cooking. No disappointments. I had an very filling lunch of baked chicken, collard greens, fried green tomatoes, and cucumbers. Added ice tea and banana pudding. For $12.50, it was a great value and I got the southern culture as a bonus...from the wait staff and the patrons. I am writing this review in a coffee shop of a major casino where I was just charged $7 for a glass of ice tea. Do you want good value in warm surroundings or lousy value in a corporate entertainment palace? Choose wisely!
My brother and I are from Texas, traveling! We wanted some good soul food and Martin’s did not disappoint! The wait staff was so pleasant and made us feel so welcome. We got the fried chicken and fried shrimp! SOOOOOO GOOD! The biscuits are to die for. Thanks y’all �

The food was delicious and the service was excellent. I don’t live in the area and I Googled Restaurants near me. I’m so thankful for the Internet. I highly recommend Martin’s if you like Country cooking.
Martin's Restaurant was my first job. I started working at the age of 19 in 1999. I enjoyed not only the food but as a former employee the entire staff were friendly, kind hearted, and co-workers and the atmosphere was awesome. Now, at the age of 37 years young I can still say the same thing; great food, atmosphere and loving people. They're absolutely the BEST in Montgomery Alabama for soul food.
The most amazing fried chicken! Everything was delicious and the service was awesome. It’s a must, if you’re ever passing through Montgomery. You won’t be disappointed.
Thank you so much for the best home cooked meal. The chicken was fantastic. So we're the green beans, sweet potatoes, mac and cheese. My Sister in law loved the turkey and dressing and black eyed peas. The corn bread was delicious. We are from California and wish you were located there. Give you a triple A rating up to 10 stars.
Chicken is the best. The collards were perfectly seasoned and the butter peas were also. We were almost finished before she brought our fried green tomatoes. Always been delicious food.

Amazing food, Amazing service and Amazing restaurant all together! The end ❤️❤️❤️
Great place!! Food was great and friendly staff first time coming will be back next time i am in Alabama
Martin's will always bring back so many memories from my childhood. My family and I would go at least once a week to enjoy the food and the wonderful Martin's family. I have not been home to Montgomery in almost four years, but when I do this will be one of the first stops. Thanks for serving the community for so many years!!
We found this place in our Road Food book and it did not disappoint. We had an early dinner here. The staff was very pleasant and prompt. We were seated immediately and were brought some cornbread muffins. We both had the chicken dinner and it was very good. If you enjoy home cooked food this is your place
Very good fried chicken. I ordered the lunch meal special which comes with meat and three side for $12. I also added a pulley chicken based on other reviews. I was surprised the meal came with not only two pieces of chicken but two breast. I tried the rice/gravy, string beans, and mashed potatoes/gravy along with corn muffins (2). The side were nothing special. In fact the rice/gravy barely had any gravy on it. The mashed potatoes/gravy was good and the string beans only needed a little pepper. The muffins on the other hand were not good at all. Not sure what all the rave is about the pulley chicken as it was just white meat cut where the wishbone is located on a chicken. The breasts were just as good. Very good price for what you get. Would I stop again if nearby...yes. Would I go out of my way to go here...no. Service I received was excellent. It was very busy but received my meals quickly.
Most of my reviews are first impressions. Initially this spot does not give the impression of great dining,but I was wrong. The dinning room is under stated. Older furniture, plastic table clothes.
The food has a homemade southern look ,taste and it was great. Cornbread muffins hot and delicious. I had meatloaf with green beans with mashed potatoes. Chocolate meringue pie for dessert good. the service good food I highly recommend
The friend chicken was great. Super fresh and not very oily. Their mashed potato and macaroni and cheese were on spot. Nice place to eat when visiting Montgomery.
I had time for one meal in Montgomery and multiple people directed me to Martin’s. Am so glad they did. I had a huge feast for under $20. “It ain’t food if it ain’t fried,” said a prominent sign. That sums it up pretty well.
The real deal! Good down home cooking at it's very best. Very friendly staff... Get there early or expect options to become limited. You won't find any out of the box, frozen fast food here!
The food has a homemade southern look ,taste and it was great. Cornbread muffins hot and delicious.
Edit: Went today 11.19.21 and was also here a week ago, the food has started to come out on the cool side of warm. It still tasted great but I gotta bump my rating to 4 stars because of this. Then the meal is usually 12 dollars and for some reason I was charged 14:30 today. It was busy and I didn't realize it till I was outside. Not sure what's going on there but they are kinda slipping... Picture attached of receipt....
Very awesome restaurant with some down home cooking. Everyone is always polite and courteous. Customer service is spot-on. Food is always fast hot and delicious. Get there early and ask for the pulley bone chicken. Be sure to try the honey if they have on the table with your cornbread. I can never finish all my food they serve nice portions.
