While on vacation, there were four in my party that visited Simply Southern Café. We tried a…read morevariety of dishes: oxtails, pork chops, mac & cheese, mashed potatoes, corn, cabbage, and cornbread. The oxtails were fall-off-the-bone tender and full of flavor, definitely the standout dish. The mac & cheese held its own with rich, cheesy goodness. Two in our group had the pork chops, which they found to be just okay. Their green beans tasted store-bought, though still fairly decent. Overall, we all noticed that many items leaned heavily on the salty side: the mashed potatoes and cabbage, in particular, were overly seasoned, and the corn pudding was simply average. The cornbread wasn't sweet, which may be a regional preference. The experience was saved in many ways by the warm, down-home hospitality. The manager came over to personally check in with us, making sure we had everything we needed, something you don't see everywhere. We later learned that one of the owners, the gentleman, is also a pastor, which added a personal and inspiring touch to the place's atmosphere. One charming and surprisingly helpful feature was their voicemail system. It announces the date, the daily menu, and the café's operating hours. If you're in Montgomery for more than a day, you'll quickly come to appreciate how rare that level of clarity is. Many local spots don't update their menus or stick to posted hours, so this was a real plus. Simply Southern Café is an older restaurant, but it's clean and welcoming. There's a group seating area, and the cafeteria-style service lets you view each dish before you make your selection, ideal for those who like to see what they're getting. Everyone, from the servers to the cashier was friendly and helpful. Despite a few misses, I'd return in a heartbeat for those oxtails.

Is it becoming harder to source the quality tender ribs or are the quality ribs becoming more scarce or inaccessibly expensive? Whatever the case may be, things took a back step this time and the ribs did not have the smoked taste as I have experienced before. Did the ribs need to be on a little longer? I ordered three slabs and large sides of potato salad, baked beans, and coleslaw. Surprisingly, the baked beans were the weakest of the three. The potato salad was markedly better and the coleslaw was the best for my tastes. I still maintain Brenda's is the place to get great smoked ribs, but this weekend was not their best effort. Brenda's is the best place to get your bones in Montgomery and I take them back with me to NYC because they're that good. 4.0 stars!

She was extremely funny and personable. We were some of the last people to leave and by the end of the night she ended up chatting with us for a while.

The ribs were larger than expected with a tangy vinegar based sauce that made them delicious flavorful. The smoked sausage was just as good without being too dry. The chicken was juicy and we'll shredded, and the spicy rib wrap was well balanced with the portions that had some heat to the coleslaw due to jalapenos on it The sides were very good with the beans being the best option. The mac and cheese should have been the hero and while they were cheesy they lacked that favor you'd expected from a BBQ joint. The potato salad was decent, but nothing to write home about. Honestly the fried okra was surprisingly the second best as the sweet coleslaw underperformed Overall, the meats made the trip worth it, the vibe was amazing as it had that laid back feel and the service was great! They don't sell hard liquor so went with beer, but the selections we limited. I'd still recommend trying them out if you are ever in town. Cool spot that makes you feel like you're in the South!

Never fear, these folks hustle!! and our wait was less than 2 minutes. Our server, Hope, was excellent: prompt, courteous, informative, and patient. (5 stars for her) A warm loaf of bread tided us over until our mains arrived. Clunky steak knife for cutting and buttering...not so welcome. Mains were tender, succulent, flavorful beef filets cooked exactly as we ordered. Our sides: rice pilaf (ok), sweet potato (yummy - with brown sugar on the side), tender asparagus (nice cook with buttery/lemon finish), and (star of my dinner show) were fried Brussels sprouts with sweet glaze (amazing!!!) Half star off for cutlery. Very large steak knife is not the best utensil for buttering, let alone cutting the bread. Two large forks - simply not needed; one would suffice. All-in-all one of the best dinners we've had in a while.
