Ladies and gentlemen, get ready to step into the culinary ring because Joe’s Again just delivered a delicious Montgomery Brawl of flavors right to my taste buds! This iconic eatery, located at 654 W Fairview Ave, Montgomery, AL 36105, has been dishing out knockout eats for over 30 years, and let me tell you, they’re still going strong!
First up, the Baloney sandwich. Now, I know what you’re thinking, “Baloney? Seriously?” But folks, don’t underestimate this seemingly humble sandwich! The folks at Joe’s Again have managed to turn the everyday baloney into a superstar with a little mayo, lettuce, and toasted white butter bread. It’s simple, yet it’s got a charm that’s hard to resist.
Next, let’s talk about those smoky, mouthwatering grilled ribs. They brought the house down with their addictive BBQ sauce that had more umami than a Bruce Lee movie marathon. The deep flavors made me want to take my taste buds on a one-way trip to Flavor Town!
Now, onto the mac and cheese. It’s the side dish we all know and love, and while it might not have won any awards for originality, it was saved by its creamy, dreamy cheese sauce. A little basic, sure, but it’s the cheese sauce that kept me coming back for more.
But wait, the real champions of Joe’s Again are those loaded crinkle French fries! These golden wonders are sprinkled with crispy bacon bits, drenched in one of the best house-made ranch dressings ever, and crowned with cheese. They’re so good that even if you’re not a fry fan, you’ll start cheering for Team Crinkle!
Now, I hate to say it, but the double cheeseburger was a bit of a underdog in this culinary brawl. It was basic and slightly on the dryer side, but hey, not everyone can be a winner. Let’s just say it played the part of the “gentleman brawler.”
But hold onto your hats, folks, because the star of the show was none other than the fried catfish! This dish was like the heavyweight champion of the evening, throwing punches of flavor left and right. The house-made tartar sauce had a beautiful herbal dance of tarragon and dill that hit my taste buds like a knockout punch. And that catfish? It was fried to a perfect golden brown, tender, and packed with flavor. They say some things are a match made in heaven, but this catfish and tartar sauce combo was more like a celestial tag team!
And let’s not forget the buffalo wings. While the wings themselves were cooked to a nice tenderness and were ok in flavor, but it was the in-house buffalo sauce that truly shined. This homemade buffalo sauce had a flavor that was off the charts. It had the right balance of heat, tang, and a hint of sweetness that made every bite a flavor explosion. I actually started to dip my catfish in the buffalo sauce and it was AMAZING!
So, there you have it folks. Joe’s Again is a must-visit spot on Montgomery’s culinary map. With dishes that range from basic to legendary, this place has been serving up delightful bites for over three decades. It’s a true Montgomery institution, and you won’t want to miss out on the Montgomery Brawl of flavors they have to offer!
Step into the ring, try a bit of everything, and let Joe’s Again leave you with a knockout taste experience you won’t soon forget! Call them at (334) 265-1462.
