    The food was absolutely delicious. Our server was very attentive and helpful. If I'm ever in town again this place is at the top of my list. The crab claws were my favorite.

    It's been a long time since I had visited Wishbone! I was delighted to have a meal with my family there. I wanted some Cajun. I ordered the Tilapia with brown rice. There were supposed to be two but I got just one and said nothing about it. My wife was not flattered with her choice but this was my choice of restaurants. I'm glad we did it.

    Very small place with open cooking area. We were greeted with a small glass of their special tea which is very sweet and good. We had good service but it's such a small place that it's easy to get their attention. I had the shrimp salad and was amazed at how much flavor it had (most of the food is Cajun style). This is a very informal place but the food was top notch.

    This review is based right now on the service. Not very friendly. In fact a bit indifferent considering that any customer is a potential regular. I’m a little disappointed but I will try the food at least one time and update my review. Sadly my review has to change the food was trash. Jerk wings and every thing is burnt. The Jeffery’s was the worse. I also asked for it without the ham and they still added it. This has been the worse food I’ve ever had in Montgomery so far.

    Today I came in and ordered 2 Quarts of the famous collard green soup to take back home with me, absolutely disappointed, first off it was served cold and tasted like spoiled milk and old stale greens, it was extremely bland and there were none of the normal ingredients used. Never coming here again. Not to mention they have a low score on there health inspection with the word bugs circled.

    Really friendly customer service. Good quality freshly made food at reasonable prices. Only thing that could use some improvements is a bit of bathroom repairs. Easy nice stop.

    New to the area and wanted to get out. Decided to come here and so glad we did. Food was absolutely amazing, service was awesome, and atmosphere was very comfortable. Menu has so many good options, definitely will be coming back.

    Had been wanting to try this place for some time. First let me say that the service was excellent. Our server immediately offered us samples of the House Specialty Collard Green Soup and House Sweet Tea. Both were great. It was a Friday night and we were expecting a crowd, but there were only a few patrons. We ordered and our food arrived pretty quickly. It had very good visual appeal, but the taste was less than stellar. Nothing like the menu described. The taste was very simple, flat even. More like something that you would cook at home. My wife had the salmon and it had a very strong taste. I took that as a sign of it being less than fresh. The floors were very sticky as if they hadn't been mopped in quite some time. The windows needed some major attention, and there were so many cobwebs hanging from the ceiling that my wife thought they would fall into our food. I really want to like this place, but there are some things that need attention before we would return.

    This is a gem of a restaurant. I love Louisiana cuisine, and I’ve lived a few years west of Baton Rouge. The food here reminds me of the best I’ve had there. They absolutely nailed the rice; the bedrock of great Cajun grub. Excellent, balanced seasoning, nice seafood. The chefs take pride in their work- it shows.

    We had take out. The place doesn't smell very good but the food was delicious. Crab craws and fish croquette sandwich. Both very tasty. Makes for a great stop when passing through Montgomery. Totally recommend.

    Had a very great experience at the Wishbone Cafe. The service was great and the food was great also. I had the Collard Green soup and the Smoker sandwich. My girl had Mr. Blount's Cuban sandwich, which she throughly enjoyed. We also had the Cajun Truffles (Stuffed Mushrooms). I will be returning to try the entrees next time I visit. Thank you for your excellent service and food Wishbone Cafe!

    First time in, the service took a second to come online but then did a great job. The sample of collard green soup convinced me to try a bowl and the signature tea was offered to sample and it also won a spot at the table. I checked the menu and decided on a smoker sandwich for lunch and it was great. The patio seems like a nice touch but always looks kind of haphazardly arranged and I like the variety on the menu. The winds the gentleman across from me had also looked good. I would love to come try some other items

    My husband and I often eat here for lunch and the food and customer service has always been exceptional. They also have the best tea we have ever tasted.

    Stopped at the Wishbone Cafe for lunch while I was in Montgomery on business. WOW is all I can say! The food is outstanding. Tried a large variety of items and everything was incredible. Service was prompt and attentive. Also, the pricing is great for what you get. I would have expected to pay significantly more for the quality of food they have. I have nothing but great things to say about the experience and will definitely be returning on future trips to Montgomery.

    The food is excellent. Service lack waiters and waitress. Please put a vegetable pizza on the menu. I am vegan.

    Didn't get a chance to eat, but the atmosphere was lovely. Was there for a meeting. Will have to come back real soon and try the food.

    Food was good nothing crazy good but the server/host/cashier was amazing he was running all over trying to keep up with everything.

  • 1/5 Quanetta P. 7 months ago on Google
    Arrived a little after 3:30pm was seated and said server will be right with us. Maybe 20 minutes or so she arrives we were not given sample of tea or soup of the day she just asked what we wanted. Another 20 mins or so goes by she comes back with my drink and my daughter's drink but my friend never received her drink. Every time she came back we had to constantly remind her and that still didn't work. I had to go and find her to get it. I had a starter that took forever to come out and when it did I received no silverware. There was patrons who came in after us to dine in and or sit at the bar who received everything they ordered before our table even got ours and all I ordered besides the fully loaded fries was a club sandwich. Everything did not get to our table until almost 5 and at that point we were ready to go. I am VERY disappointed in the customer service I recieved today. I ate very often at the old location in Taylor junction and since I've move away I was very excited to try the new location but that excitement ended very quickly because of service.

    I was looking for something different and was enticed by Wishbone Cafe's online menu, which is unique for Montgomery. Sitting down, a waiter served us a small sample of delicious gumbo and this amazingly delicious tea. I don't really even like gumbo but this was wonderful! Then we shared a rice/seafood dish and a Cuban sandwich. Entrees were nicely portioned and served with a nice presentation. Waiters were helpful and friendly. Only complaint was they got a bit busy and it took forever to get the check. Oh, and prices are great, too. What a nice surprise to find!

    Food was amazing and perfectly seasoned for myself and family and that tea just hit differently! Was a last minute decision after our daughter wanted Cajun after her swim meet a great decision! I would recommend the Cajun bread and the pasta dish!

  • 5/5 Marialisa M. 1 year ago on Google
    Wings were crunchy, Bayou was creamy and full of flavor… such a nice laid back atmosphere. Great place to visit.

  • 4/5 Catrina F. 1 year ago on Google
    Great experience! I attended a business Christmas team building/bonding event. The patio set up was perfect for games and our catered meal. The DJ played a variety of music to keep the crowd hype, and the drinks were on point at the bar.

  • 3/5 TARA A. 1 year ago on Google
    Normally I'm a huge fan of this place. I normally always order take out for myself and several of my coworkers because the food is amazing. Decided to take my fiancé to dine in for lunch since we both were off that day. We walked in and waited a few minutes to be greeted. We had time to notice there was only 2 or 3 tables at the time dining in. While we were still waiting on a hostess, he went to wash his hands. When he came back; I decided to go wash mine as well, by the time we both came back we still have yet to see any type of employee to ask them if we are supposed to sit ourselves or what??? We waited about another minute or so and he decided to walk back to the open kitchen doors to see if he can see an employee to help sit us. He seen a lady back talking on the phone, and the cook made eye contact. He told him to give her one second and she'll be with us to get us seated. We waited another minute or 2 and left. We waited 5 to 7 minutes to be seated from the time we walked in until we left. The food is amazing, and I would hate to see customer service be the reason for a downfall.

    I had the homemade banana pudding. Not a fan of the whip cream and the stuffed truffles, which were great . ,5 stars for that.

    Grilled Salmon Croquette Sandwich was nicely seasoned. Complimentary tea and soup offered, both are awesome. Friendly staff. Nice waiter Mr. ?? Brown Eyes

  • 1/5 Jovan 2 years ago on Google
    I ordered through Waitr while at work and the food I received was incorrect. I ordered the bayou classic add tilapia and didn't get it. I called and was transferred around...I agreed to a remake. I took what I got back to the restaurant just to have another negotiation about remaking it. Waitr won't refund because I told them I took the food back and nobody will answer the phone from the restaurant to verify. Wow! im super shocked! That was ridiculous.

  • 5/5 Fred L. 2 years ago on Google
    The collard green soup and salmon croquet sandwich is fabulous. The service is always great. Always make a point of eating here when I am in Montgomery. Don't miss it. You will love it.

  • 2/5 Kamron J. 2 years ago on Google
    As the years go by the quality of the food gets poor. Also, I think it’s off that the place stays open til 11 but the kitchen closes almost 3 hours earlier than the open floor/bar. Wishbone’s prime was at its old location.

  • 5/5 Teon S. 2 years ago on Google
    Today I was greeted with the friendliest smile. We had a party of 10 and the hospitality was fantastic. I celebrated my 45th birthday today along with Antwoine celebrating his as well. There was two Dj’s and two bands. We celebratied inside as well as outside. The atmosphere was everything. The food was fresh and tasteful. I enjoyed myself so much we will be visiting soon. Thanks for great customer service.

  • 2/5 Marcella H. 2 years ago on Google
    This was not the best night for me. I was there as a guest for a dinner party. There was one waitor and he was running back and forth, table to table and least to say I really felt sorry for him. My children did not like their shrimp nor quesadillas because it was cold... It took a long time to get the ticket because again he was the only working waitor that night. I don't know if it's because there are very few workers and Cooks and that's why the food was not good and service slow but I pray they will do better in the future.
