Greg's Breakfast Bar — Restaurant in Montgomery

From the moment I walked into Greg's Breakfast, I knew I was in for a memorable experience. The cozy atmosphere and interesting Alabama sports memorabilia made me feel right at home. As I walked towards the bar, I noticed about 16 seats available, with a mix of barstools and tables with two chairs each. It wasn't the most extensive restaurant but undoubtedly big on personality.

Step two of the ordering process involved visiting Greg's Breakfast website to review the menu. I wondered if they had paper menus, but I found the online menu helpful. Step three was where the real magic happened. I got in line to visit with Greg, the owner, who made me feel like I was the only customer in the world for the few seconds we spent together. He took the time to recommend dishes based on my preferences, and I was impressed by his personalized approach to customer service.

My 10-year-old son, Charlie, was with me during our visit to Greg's Breakfast, and he had some hilarious quotes about the experience. He referred to it as "Gregfast" and remarked on the restaurant's unique name. He also pointed out that all the employees were named Greg, which made for some interesting interactions. "Hey, Greg!" became a common refrain throughout our visit. (I told him the other employees have names, LOL!)

When it came time to place our order, Greg nailed it. He wrote everything down on an old-school order pad and ripped off the perforated number for us. The wait for our food was well worth it. We spent ten minutes looking at the Alabama State University football helmets with scuffs and other famous Alabama athletic memorabilia. We didn't even notice that hockey was on the TV instead of football, as we were too busy taking in all the attractive decor.

Finally, Greg called our name, and our food arrived. The bacon was terrific: it tasted like bacon should taste, and even though it was limper than I'm used to, it was still delicious. Charlie split his four biscuits in half and slathered them with Welch's grape jam, making little sandwiches with 5x the serving of grape jelly allowed by local ordinance. Greg just smiled at him and made us feel welcome.

The biscuits themselves were perfect - no metaphors needed; think of a classic Southern biscuit and imagine it perfectly executed. The cheese grits were also quite tasty, with just enough cheesiness. While some salt or sugar might have taken them to the next level, I filled up on the bacon and was perfectly content.

Charlie summed up our experience perfectly: "There was a bunch of ASU stuff in there. The helmet had scuff marks." He also mentioned that he didn't get kicked out for sleeping at the breakfast bar, but I reminded him that we still needed to pay. The unique decor and friendly atmosphere made Greg's Breakfast feel like a true Alabama institution.

In conclusion, if you're looking for a personalized, delicious breakfast experience in Montgomery, Greg's Breakfast should be at the top of your list. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, the food is impressive, and the service is second to none. Whether you're a local or just passing through, stop by Greg's Breakfast and say hello to Greg - or one of the many other "Gregs" who work there. You...

Stay clear of this place if you looking for home cooked meals because this is not it. They serve frozen box pancakes! Unbelievable. I can’t believe this is what they are doing to customers. This was the worst breakfast I ever had in my entire life and I love breakfast. My question is how do you mess up the most simplest food on the planet? Where do I begin…

First off the pancake are FROZEN PANCAKES FROM A BOX. It’s the ones you get from Walmart or Dollar General 12 in a box. I could not believe my eyes when I opened the box and saw the 4 pancakes I buy 12 in a box for $1.75. I was charged $5.00 for 4 frozen pancakes.

The grits, *see the photos below *, were flavorless and very oily and runny. By far the worst grits I ever had in my life. My daughter, whom usually eat anything, gagged as she tried to eat the food. She decided to just throw it away.

The eggs were also very little and lacked flavor. The cut of bacon is the cheapest you can buy maybe from a dollar store or Walmart as well. Not quality bacon. See photos below.

I’m an very disappointed and I feel cheated and stolen from. We paid $24 for $5.00 worth of the worst food on the planet. My question to you is how do you sleep at night doing this to people? I am not rich I decided to treat my family and we just wasted money....

Have you ever just walked into a place to eat and heard people belly laughing so hard you began to smile and chuckle yourself? Me neither! Until yesterday! The cast and customer exchanges I had the pleasure of witnessing was amazing. The entire staff, on this morning at Greg's Breakfast Bar, were flat out hilarious!! From the comical assistance with our orders to the settling of my bill, the jokes, punchlines, jabs, and absolute Eddie Murphy- CTA / Barber shop- like antics made you feel carefree and in a safe place to enjoy a meal and be entertained.... without a cover charge. Go for the scrambled eggs, grits, toast, and sausage. These folks cook like their momma's made them do it since they were 6 years old! Great food, even better people running the house. You won't regret the visit. Tell them Roger from MS sent you, and they'll probably add $5.00 to the bill!!!! Am I right...
