Love to support local businesses and they did not disappoint! First time trying food from here, I got the Turkey Pan Sausage Breakfast Plate, it was worth the 15 minute wait plus the server was on it! The inside is old timely but nice. read more

For those unfamiliar, the salmon croquette made its way into Southern cooking during the Depression, when poverty and pellagra were common. The latter, a horrible disease brought on by lack of protein, ran rampant among African Americans whose diets lacked it. In the 1920s, canned salmon could be had for pennies. Add an egg and you'd have enough protein to stave off the disease for a week. The inventive cooks in the Black community found ways to make it delicious, by adding chopped onion and binding it with the salmon liquor from the can and breadcrumbs. Like so many Southern dishes that arose from need, the salmon croquette has kept the spot it earned on the soul food roster. The salmon patty was a reputed favorite of author William Faulkner who was said to enjoy them quite a lot with liquor. (Or with quite a lot of liquor, I'm unsure which.) An excellent salmon patty can be had at Greg's Breakfast Bar. According to the sign on the front door, it's the best in Alabama, and I'll not dispute it. It's what I ordered on this most recent visit and although I've not personally sampled its rivals, it would be hard to imagine a better one. When I was a kid, my own mother--who grew up during the Depression--made them every Tuesday. (Greg's may be better. Sorry, Mom.) There's no liquor served at Greg's, so I had to eat my salmon croquette with coffee. For $10 at Greg's, you too can sample the best salmon croquette in Alabama. Other local faves like Conecuh sausage line the GBB menu. Eggs and grits accompany the breakfast plates, which make up the left half of the menu. Breakfast sandwiches occupy the other half. Greg's is open early (5:30 a.m. if memory serves), and stays open until lunchtime. When my travels take me through Montgomery--as they did last week on a drive from Pensacola to Atlanta--Greg's is a quick detour off of 65 or 85. I timed my drive accordingly. The interior is classic diner, vinyl and stainless . SEC memorabilia and signed player photos decorate the place. Everybody seems to know Greg. The crowd is local. Parking limited. Makes no difference. Park on the street. read more

Greg's Breakfast Bar - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Montgomery, Alabama

I was in Montgomery on a Sunday morning and very few places were open. I ordered the pork chops and scrambled eggs and I still think about it months later. It was so good! read more

Super friendly owner, service was very good. The food was flavorful and generous portions were served. it's a very small dining room and appointed in a sports theme. They cook items that are greasy and it has made its way to the dining area. The walls, floors and fixtures could use a wipe down with a good degreaser. I saw no pests so the state of the dining area only cost 1 star. read more

The best breakfast in all of Montgomery. These guys are so nice and such good cooks. I love stopping by to eat. If I lived closer I would be there all the time. 10/10. It's a small old time diner set up. I love the old-fashioned look with a sports set up. Very cool place. read more

Greg's Breakfast Bar - Sausage plate - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Montgomery, Alabama

The food was delicious and plentiful. This is a very busy small business. Most people get their food to go. There are a few tables and seats at the counter. I wish that they would sell one of there famous salmon crochet with having to buy the sandwich or the meal. This was my first-time eating at Greg's so, I would have loved to give one a try. I had the pork chops breakfast. It was very good. It was just a little drive in some parts, but it was still delicious. I used steak sauce on mine. read more

Greg's Breakfast Bar - Half of my pork chop meal. I saved the other half for later. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Montgomery, Alabama

Old school - love this place! Food was great, hustle, value and flavor! I'll definitely go back!

Outstanding food! Wayyy more than a "normal" serving. I brought home leftovers. Small inside seating area (maybe 22-24 people?), and the line was pretty long but moved quickly. read more

My order was delivered to me so I did not get to see their facilities or experience their service but I heard it was packed and it makes sense why because the food tasted great. I ordered the pork chop plate which came with eggs, grits and toast. The pork chop is well seasoned, juicy and was delivered in a separate container which I can appreciate. The grits were not seasoned or flavored which is ok considering some people need to watch their sodium/sugar levels and the eggs were scrambled well done. The only downside was that order did not come with butter for the toast. It only came with mixed berry jelly and grape jelly so I'm not sure if that is a norm for them but that would be the only thing I would have changed. The other downside was my cousin ordered well done, crispy bacon and they only provided the standard cooked bacon but personally I enjoyed how good the standard bacon tasted. Other than those two minor issues the food was delicious to include the always delicious Conecuh sausage that Alabama is known for and they serve it fine. I recommend anyone considering this place to try it, I would definitely order from them again! read more

This is authentic West Montgomery food. I've been all over the world but grew up on this. Although subtle, you can't get this taste anywhere in the world and believe me I've tried. Portion Sizes - Massive! Taste - Well Seasoned! Service - Down South Style... super friendly, but be patient if they are busy. Tips 1) try to Salmon Patty Breakfast 2) if you want bacon on the weekends call it in early 3) there is parking in the back read more

Came here for breakfast with my family. Delicious food and very friendly staff. I ordered the ribeye steak Sandwhich which was perfect. The flavor and seasoning was 5 out of 5. Great vibe inside as well! I believe Greg himself assisted us. Gotta love supporting local business! read more

This place is absolutely the best breakfast In Montgomery. The food was delicious and the owner is a down to earth person. I enjoyed the experience and the conversation me and Greg had. Great atmosphere a customer service. Even though he is an Alabama fan! I will not hold that against him, WDE!!! read more

Greg's Breakfast Bar - This is truly food for the soul. The steak breakfast plate. I had more food than I could eat. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Montgomery, Alabama

From the moment I walked into Greg's Breakfast, I knew I was in for a memorable experience. The cozy atmosphere and interesting Alabama sports memorabilia made me feel right at home. As I walked towards the bar, I noticed about 16 seats available, with a mix of barstools and tables with two chairs each. It wasn't the most extensive restaurant but undoubtedly big on personality. Step two of the ordering process involved visiting Greg's Breakfast website to review the menu. I wondered if they had paper menus, but I found the online menu helpful. Step three was where the real magic happened. I got in line to visit with Greg, the owner, who made me feel like I was the only customer in the world for the few seconds we spent together. He took the time to recommend dishes based on my preferences, and I was impressed by his personalized approach to customer service. My 10-year-old son, Charlie, was with me during our visit to Greg's Breakfast, and he had some hilarious quotes about the experience. He referred to it as "Gregfast" and remarked on the restaurant's unique name. He also pointed out that all the employees were named Greg, which made for some interesting interactions. "Hey, Greg!" became a common refrain throughout our visit. (I told him the other employees have names, LOL!) When it came time to place our order, Greg nailed it. He wrote everything down on an old-school order pad and ripped off the perforated number for us. The wait for our food was well worth it. We spent ten minutes looking at the Alabama State University football helmets with scuffs and other famous Alabama athletic memorabilia. We didn't even notice that hockey was on the TV instead of football, as we were too busy taking in all the attractive decor. Finally, Greg called our name, and our food arrived. The bacon was terrific: it tasted like bacon should taste, and even though it was limper than I'm used to, it was still delicious. Charlie split his four biscuits in half and slathered them with Welch's grape jam, making little sandwiches with 5x the serving of grape jelly allowed by local ordinance. Greg just smiled at him and made us feel welcome. The biscuits themselves were perfect - no metaphors needed; think of a classic Southern biscuit and imagine it perfectly executed. The cheese grits were also quite tasty, with just enough cheesiness. While some salt or sugar might have taken them to the next level, I filled up on the bacon and was perfectly content. Charlie summed up our experience perfectly: "There was a bunch of ASU stuff in there. The helmet had scuff marks." He also mentioned that he didn't get kicked out for sleeping at the breakfast bar, but I reminded him that we still needed to pay. The unique decor and friendly atmosphere made Greg's Breakfast feel like a true Alabama institution. In conclusion, if you're looking for a personalized, delicious breakfast experience in Montgomery, Greg's Breakfast should be at the top of your list. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, the food is impressive, and the service is second to none. Whether you're a local or just passing through, stop by Greg's Breakfast and say hello to Greg - or one of the many other "Gregs" who work there. You won't regret it! read more

So we decided to try this establishment for breakfast, and I am a glad we did. We were greeted as soon as we walked inside the business by the owner Greg. You can hear him talking to other customers and all. It's not huge inside, but the atmosphere was friendly, and sporty--Alabama and Auburn-themed bar stools. The grilled chicken was nice and juicy. It was dried, and it had flavor. With the eggs, I was good. The grits had cheese but didn't have a lot of flavors; you will need salt. The sausage was kinda too burnt for me. The eggs were cooked good, and like before, the grits lacked flavor. Just add some salt, and you be good. I will definitely go back to this location for breakfast. read more

Desperate for a few more hours of sleep, but unable to attain such, I wandered into this quaint breakfast bar at the darkened hour of 6 a.m. Thinking I might have to sacrifice quality for an early opening time, I was indeed glad to be wrong. Greg's is a true belly-rubbing kind of experience that offers man-sized portions, attentive service, and value in pricing. I may have to go ala carte next time due to the impressive serving size - but I will definitely be back. read more

Greg's Breakfast Bar - so much food and so good! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Montgomery, Alabama

This is a true country breakfast that will make you think about good cooking from your grandma. Yes it is a very small place but the food is amazing. The owner is nice and has a great sense of humor. The grits are amazing and whatever meat you pick will be just as good. Best part about this place is the meals are very cheap but the quality of the food is still better than many high end restaurants. read more

The food was excellent and the service was very quick. This is a place that has few rivals for a hearty breakfast.

Small breakfast bar from days of old. $9 for a bacon sandwich. There was a mound of bacon on the sandwich. There was a steady stream of customers. Food was fast. Be prepared for a fast conversation and a little comedy. The place is not fancy but that adds to the charm. All rounds out a great experience and an awesome breakfast. read more

Love eating here. Good portion are a good size and very filling. Service Jass great since everything is cooked to order. Friendly vibes. Always hear the owner joking with the regulars every visit. Love to see it! read more

I had the eggs, bacon, grits and toast. I gave it a 3 star because the food was made just as well as I would do at home. Food was served in a styrofoam container and the toast was not buttered. We also did not have butter on our table. Drinks were self serve. We felt we were definitely welcomed. The establishment seemed to need a good cleaning. The floors were quite dirty and had grease going up from the bottom of the floor. I really hate to give 3 stars because we came to the Montgomery area to go to the local history museums and support black businesses. I think this place has a lot of potential! read more

I was passing through Montgomery on a weekend morning and found Greg's on a list of highly reviewed breakfast spots. A small diner setup with just a couple of guys doing everything from cooking, greeting, and handling the register. Everyone seemed glad to be there and the atmosphere was comfortable and welcoming. The food got to me very quickly and tasted like it was made by someone who knew exactly what he was doing. The grits were delicious, the eggs were just right, the toast was on point, and the bacon was piled high. Excellent. read more

Read about the egg and bacon breakfast sandwich online and decided to give it try! Definitely stuck out as the only white guy there and had a few stares from the other patrons but "Greg" made sure I was taken care of nonetheless. The breakfast sandwiches definitely was a hit! Very reminiscent of how my grandparents would make breakfast! Would go back again. read more

Omg! Best breakfast spot I've been to in Montgomery. Fox was fresh, and delicious! Will return for breakfast each time in here

Some of the best Biscuits and Gravy I've ever had! That alone warrants five stars. As a travel nurse I've been all over the south, and I judge a spot by their biscuits and gravy. SLAMMIN!!! Sausage Gravy. It's a small crowded spot with a good group of friendly dudes working the grill. A lot of smack talking between the customers and the cooks. My kind of spot. read more

Best breakfast in town! Very friendly. Highly recommend. Breakfast sandwiches are amazing

Believe the Hype. I used to live down the street from this place when I worked downtown MGM in 2016/2017. I visited this place once then and have been craving it since I left. I came in today and got a breakfast sandwich. Ribeye, eggs and cheese. The pictures do this sandwich no Justice. It was huge and flavorful AF. Flavorful af! I smashed this sandwich in the car. I didn't even make it back to the place I was coming from with the sandwich. Do yourself a favor and get you some Greg's breakfast ASAP. The man that takes your order is something else. But like folks say in the south "he don't mean no harm...". He doesn't. Anyway You won't be sorry when you get your food. read more
