Downtown Montgomery is the center for both the Alabama state offices and many of the city’s major cultural attractions. Like most big cities, there is a large selection of restaurants, offering different types of cultural foods. Here is a list of some in Montgomery.
Montgomery Brewing Company
One of Montgomery’s most popular downtown restaurants is Montgomery Brewing Company, located on Jefferson Street. This casual restaurant is located within walking distance of the Riverwalk Stadium. In addition to lunch and dinner, the menu also features a line of signature draft beers brewed on site. Menu options range from simple burgers to more exotic seafood options; one of the local specialties is Cajun pizza which is often paired with mixed green salads and a generous glass of Montgomery Blonde ale.
The Chophouse Vintage
A high-end steak house, The Chophouse is located in the downtown Montgomery neighborhood of Old Cloverdale. The restaurant is open from Tuesday to Saturday, for dinner only, and reservations are recommended; reservations can be made by phone or on the restaurant website. The menu includes wine, appetizers, steak and seafood entrees, and desserts. Originally, The Chophouse opened in 1984 as a specialty wine shop, but began serving food soon after.
Chris’s hot dogs
For a quick hot dog and fries, there’s always the historic Chris’ Hot Dogs on Dexter Avenue. Located just a few blocks from the state capitol building, Chris’ is one of the oldest restaurants in Montgomery. In business since 1917, locals flock to Chris for old-fashioned hot dogs and burgers, cooked to order while customers wait, served with a mountain of fries. The restaurant generously uses a secret sauce on the meats and a sauce for the fries which is why they claim to have been in business for so many years.
green papaya
Traditional Laotian Thai food can be found at Green Papaya, located on Coliseum Boulevard. The menu selections feature both Thai and Lao soups and curries, noodles and rice, to name a few. Vegetarians can substitute tofu for meat in any dish, while meat lovers can request a mix of beef, chicken and seafood if they like. Many consider Green Papaya to be one of the best Thai restaurants in Montgomery.
Corsino’s Italian
Corsino’s on South Court Street has been a watering hole favorite for over five decades. Offering lunch and dinner, this oldest Italian restaurant in Montgomery is known locally for its spaghetti, eggplant parmesan, and lasagna. The restaurant also offers a selection of wines to complement your meal, with home-brewed tea and plenty of soft drinks on hand.
Oyster House di Wintzell
Serving “fried, stewed, or naked” oysters is Wintzell’s specialty, but the restaurant also offers salads, sandwiches, steaks, and a variety of seafood. The restaurant has multiple locations in Alabama and is located on Commerce street in Montgomery. The walls are covered with sayings that the founder, J. Oliver Wintzell, coined himself, making for a fun, family-oriented environment. People who enjoy eating oysters will find the menu satisfying, and for those who don’t like oysters, there are plenty of other options available.
