Although in new digs, the decor evokes the ambience of the original Shack, resulting in an interesting, funky place to enjoy their food. This time I had the mushroom burger with sweet potato fries, and the large serving of angus beef did not disappoint. Our friendly server made sure our diet cokes and water kept up with our thirst, and we were happy we could still count on our oasis The Shack. Great prices, good sized servings, several meat choices.

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.

Most surprising was the lack of oysters at the Oyster House. Fried oysters were the only ones offered. No raw, grilled, baked or broiled available. No redfish. I don't recall all of the other items they didn't have. I had fried oysters with red beans and rice and a side salad. All were OK. Presentation was bare bones: a plate with oysters and a bowl of beans and rice. No garnish-no parsley-no lemon wedges. Service was good. Ambiance is good. Lots of old photos on the walls. Some cute drawings and folksy sayings. I have enjoyed previous visits. This one was disappointing.

Boudin egg rolls was our appetizer. 10/10 would recommend to everyone. Just a few minutes out of Troy, it's worth the venture out here to enjoy some great food!

BBQ is a gem of the American countryside dining. Partially, because the only other alternative is…read moretypically fast food. But, that would not be a fair description of this tradition: BBQ is an incredible style of cooking and spots like this represent this tradition well. BBQ 65 is conveniently located right off the interstate in a gas station in a saloon like building that has a beautiful character from the outside. Open since 2010s, this spot has started to earn its place in the BBQ world, albeit being newer to it. There is an indoor seating inside near the gas station shop aisles. The ribs are cooked well with a nice wood profile, but neither very delicate nor particularly notable for their flavor of the meat itself, with smoke notes dominating. The quality of pork itself and the slightly tougher preparation could be better to rival Alabama's best. The BBQ sauce is loaded up with vinegar, completely overpowering the meat if consumed together, although to be fair, this may be a matter of preference for some BBQ lovers. The star of the show is potato salad which was perfectly balanced on its acidity, sweetness and overall flavor. As a whole, BBQ 65 is a pleasant stop to experience some traditional southern cooking and support a local business instead of tossing money into another "by the exit" fast food chain.

The menu is simple and limited, but perfect for a homy kind of meal. They offer 1 choice of meat and 2 sides or 1 and 3 sides, and also about 5 choices of specials of the day plus about 4 choices of deserts - we planned for the apple cobbler, but no room in our stomach, unfortunately. Prices are very good, portions were huge. My husband chose chicken fingers and said he never had such a tender chicken. I had the fried shrimp, also very tender inside and crispy outside. The picture I shared was "after" I was finished, so generous the portion is. The ambience is simple but very nice. There are about 3 rooms style; we set in the booth in the front (nice) on the left side, in front of it there's s room with tables, and behind a nicer room with great light, which we will try next time. All customers seem to be returned clients, the happening of the town I guess, very warm and friendly as well as the staff. If you are on the road, great place to stop. If you live near by, well, I'm sure you were there today or will be tomorrow.
