Montgomery restaurant lists by category: wings, pizza, Mexican, barbecue, breakfast, burgers, sushi, desserts, bakeries and patios, plus brunch.

Last checked 2026-10-17. Refreshed every three months.

These are Montgomery Live’s lists of places to eat, one per kind of food. Each list is alphabetical, gives the address, the hours each place publishes on its own website and a phone number, and links straight to the restaurant. Downtown’s dining is around Dexter Avenue, Commerce Street and the Alley; most chains and many local restaurants are on the east side, along Atlanta Highway, Vaughn Road, Eastern Boulevard and at Eastchase.

How we made these lists. The places come from OpenStreetMap records inside Montgomery’s city limits, the same data behind our local directory, checked against each place’s own website on Oct. 17, 2026, with places added from their own sites where the map missed them. The lists are alphabetical. They are not rankings or recommendations, and nobody paid to be on them. Run a restaurant in Montgomery? Write to us to be added or to correct your entry.
