Don't let the strip-mall facade fool you....Martin's is the real deal. Dating back to the 1930's, Martin's has been serving it up Wiregrass style forever.
Known for the corn muffins, you would be Krazy not to love them. A perfect mill grind, texture, and surface area make these unforgettable. Don't skimp on the butter, fool.....
No restaurant can survive on corn muffins alone. Good God, Martin's has excellent fried chicken. and sides. and desserts. Both Lou and I had the small lunch plate. One piece white meat and two sides. I had the cole slaw and rice with gravy. Lou had the collards and string beans. I swear, the rice and gravy was identical to my Mamaw's. She would have been dismayed how a restaurant in Alabama could have made her weekday staple in such an identical manner.....hmmmm. Lou's collards were excellent. Her fork didn't stop. And then dessert.....coconut meringue pie for her, strawberry pudding for me. I could have swallowed a gallon of this stuff. Bless Martin's!
So to wrap up, here's the weekday menu for Martin's. Hope you can read it....and go to Montgomery. And coincidentally, this is the first restaurant, juke joint, stand, or cafe to actually realize and publicize (at least outwardly.) they were actually on John T.'s list of places to eat before you die. Martin's said "Yep, we made the list. We're proud. Now eat."
