So, I haven't actually eaten here during business hours, but a couple years ago I was traveling through, and couldn't find a place to eat because everything had already closed. I was peeking into the front window of Martha's Place and about to leave, when a man invited me inside (even though they had already closed for the night! All the customers were gone!) and insisted on making me a plate of food. And: it was incredible. Fried chicken, lots of tasty sides, bread pudding, sweet tea... all top notch. I am heading to Montgomery again soon and will make a huge effort to get back there - this time during normal dinner hours!
I first ate at Martha's in 1996 while attending training at Maxwell. I've been back to Maxwell 6 times since then and always go to Martha's at least once during my stay in Alabama. It's a great place, nice owner :), good service, awesome southern cooking! You rock, Martha!!!
My Martha's Experience: The food is wonderful. I'm really picky about my food, but, not at Martha's place. I trust the cooks and they really have my trust! The ambiance is excellent as it's quiet and relaxing. The service is ok, I guess it really depends on what time you eat there. The value, "you can't beat" is all I can say because nothing else will amount up to that. I really enjoy going to Martha's Place for lunch. What I dislike about Martha's Place are their hours. I lunch from 1 until 2, but they close at 2 so it's like I get what's left over or risk the chance that they don't have what I want left.
