The Cool Factor

Legendary country music crooner Hank Williams got his start in the capital city and frequented many Montgomery restaurants. He was known to often write songs while sitting at the lunch counter in Chris’ Hot Dogs on Dexter Avenue.
If you’re not from around here, some of the lingo you’ll read and hear at area restaurants may be confusing. Here’s a little dictionary to help decipher Southern food speak.
Meat & Three: Usually refers to more casual “home cooking” spots and means the menu offers a plate with your choice of one meat (fried chicken, country fried steak, fried catfish — sensing a pattern here?) and three sides, usually Southern-style vegetables like fried okra, fried green tomatoes, squash casserole, creamed corn, collard greens (see definition below) and more. Often served with cornbread or biscuit.
Sweet Tea: The default setting when you order a glass of iced-tea down here. And sweet means S-W-E-E-T. Specify “unsweet” if you don’t want any sugar. Or ask for half-and-half for just a little sweetness.

Yellowhammer Cafe

Proud member of the Montgomery Area Chamber of Commerce

Specializing in comfort food classics and Southern standards, this homey spot is dishing out generous portions of your favorites like pot roast, fried pork chops, fried chicken, greens, black eyed peas, creamed corn, fried okra, shrimp and grits and more. Go in hungry and try this eatery’s signature dish, the meat ‘n three plate, featuring your choice of meat and three hearty helpings of sides. Don’t fill up too much though. You’ll want to save room for peach cobbler or banana pudding.
