    As usual we oldies are leaving a doctor's appointment. So after being in that Cold office, the hubby decided on something hot. We lucked up on this spot.. ordered fried chicken, collard greens, lima beans, rice gravy, Mac and cheese.. The ambiance was quiet, which made it so easy for conversation. I will say the place was very homely, but a few things could be corrected. I noticed a few items out of place, like the cleaning supplies not in the safe zone. The restroom was pleasant, I never comment on that, but will start. But all in all things were enjoyable

    Fried pork chops, Lima beans and turnip greens.

    This meat and two is what southern cooking should taste like. My wife and I recently ate there and plan to take some friends there on our next visit. The fried chicken was excellent. The turnip greens and Lima beans were well prepared. Nothing was over seasoned. The staff were kind and courteous. The diner is tiny and nothing fancy. The location is sort of in the Auburn Kroger parking lot facing Glenn Ave. We had to drive "around our elbow" a couple of times to find it, but glad we did.

    This was my first visit, and it was definitely worth it. I got a good amount of food, especially since they were giving out free plates. Everyone was really nice and welcoming, and the whole process was quick and smooth. I'd definitely recommend checking this place out if you're in the Auburn area.

    Food was fantastic! Chicken fell right off the bone, candied yams were perfection, mac and cheese was so cheesy and good, service was great and the food came out super fast, definitely one of the best comfort food restaurants in Auburn!

    Loved it. Super simple meat and 2. Walked in with no line and easy enough to find our seat.

    As good as Soul Food can be. We use to stop here about 6 times a year when traveling through now it…read moreis about once a year...and oh, how we miss it. We ordered two Meat & 2's and both consisted of A Big Fat Fried Chicken Breast, Black-Eyed Peas and Mac n Cheese. As always the chicken was cooked perfectly. Crispy on the outside with that perfect fried chicken skin and totally moist meat. The mac n cheese was very moist, not really runny and the texture was the perfect chew. No mushiness and no hard noodles. The black-eyed peas were out of this world good. They had a bit of spice in them and cooked good ole' Southern Style...cooked! We ate and ate until there was not more room. We gladly took our left overs for another wonderful meal. As we were leaving I said, oh, no "I forgot to take pictures. So I went and broke in line and took a couple of the cafeteria style food that everyone was so patiently waiting to be served. The staff works extremely hard. The restaurant is very clean. And the food is absolutely delicious. They do take togo orders and sometimes the line is out the door. They are closed on Saturdays. Highly recommend one try if in the area. Prices have remained relatively low while other places have increased their prices drastically. Our two meals which included drinks and tax was about $21. You can still buy a whole fried wing for under $2...it is $1.95.

    I have to give this wonderful restaurant an upgrade! I must have had some bad luck the first time…read more On my second visit, I realized what locals were trying to tell me, that this old-school southern eatery is fabulous!! This is classic, southern food at its best! The catfish tonight was on point! The mac and cheese is absolute gooey, cheesy perfection! The purple hull peas are so scrumptious! I'm a new fan of Pannie-George's!

This is a hole in the wall place so don't be detered by the ambience as there isn't much but oh wow, the food and the service. Those deserve five stars for sure. The chef personally came out and explained to us what she used and what she recommended. Being a vegetarian , she knew how to make side dishes good without any meat which was a plus for us since we had a vegetarian in our group. See menu attached but how it works is they give you a piece of paper with what's available and if you want meat, you circle one meat and two side dishes for $9.99. This price is great because it also comes with rice, and a roll or cornbread and a drink. You definitely cannot get that deal anywhere else. We decided to go crazy and ordered a bunch more of their other side dishes and they were about $2 - $2.50 each and well worth it. Give them a try, I promise you won't regret it. Note: don't use the bathroom if you don't have to since it's in a weird part of the house/restaurant. In no way is it dirty but it just a makeshift bathroom located in a weird room. You'll know what I mean if you go there. Don't say I didn't warn ya.

    I visited J.W. Beverette's Soul Food in Montgomery, Alabama [1172 S Decatur] on Saturday, 06/06/26…read morearound 12:00 PM. For lunch, I ordered the Oxtails plate (served with white rice + cornbread) with a choice of three sides. I opted for the Baked Mac & Cheese, Steamed Cabbage, and Luscious Collard Greens. The taste of the food was fantastic. The savory oxtails smothered in gravy were tender. All of the sides were flavorful and met expectations. For everything, it was priced at $29.99, which was quite reasonable considering the portion size. The inside of the restaurant was cozy with a family-friendly diner feel. The music playing was very entertaining. Each table had a great variety of condiments available, including hot sauces, ketchup, mustard, etc. Overall, J.W. Beverette's Soul Food was a solid choice for experiencing comforting, delicious soul food. If I weren't visiting from California and resided in Alabama, I'd totally be a regular customer at this restaurant. I will be sure to visit here should I travel to Alabama again.

The collard greens and fried okra were good. I like the dressing, but kept picking out bone fragments from it when eating. The meat was for the most part tender but over cooked. It was still good though. We will definitely eat here again. I will order two helpings of that cabbage. Great stuff!
