Not impressed with the ambience or Decor, staff okay, not what I expected but I'm cool with it. Food looks good, smells good, appears to be fresh. Just tasted squash and onions and my deviled eggs and cornbread is off the hook... O M G. IM IMPRESSED, this food is so good and fresh, deviled eggs taste like someone in my family made them lol, and the fish taste like it was just caught, and the bread pudding was out of this world, I've never tasted bread pudding like this. A little skeptical at first but I'd highly recommend this place that's why I gave it five stars, keep up the good work guys.

We were looking for somewhere to eat and happened to see this place off the road, so we decided to give it a try because there were a lot of cars there! Worth every single penny. Everything was homemade and delicious. The staff was all super friendly and the food was really awesome!!! Prices couldn't really be beat for the quality of food!!! Can't wait to go back and try something else. This was the best eating we have found in Montgomery in the year we have lived here!!!

This was my third time here. I try to give a place three times before I give up on it. Today, I had terrible service. I could not get seated, once seated, my drink and order were taken immediately, but after my food was delivered, I could not find waitress. When she did come by, she waited on the other tables and did not glance my way. I take clients out to eat on a regular basis, but this is one place that I will not be taking them.

"What can I get you sweetie?" was the first question I was asked when I stopped in the Down the Street Cafe. It's a nice diner adorned with photos of Coach Bear Bryant (of course) and has several TVs with news, weather, and I'm certain on fall Saturday afternoons....Bama football. The staff is friendly and the food is fine southern cooking.

Great food, great staff. The people were very friendly - especially the lady at the table next to us doing the silverware (who turned out to be Gail the owner.) It is southern style cooking and it is good. We were traveling thru to Savannah and the restaurant is not far from the interstate and easy to get to. We struck it rich when we found Gails for lunch.

I like Gail's. Heck, I like Gail! I like almost everything they make. fried tomatoes, chicken, crab cakes, and they have a very hearty chili I am slightly envious of. If I have any complaint about Gail's is their salads, while well portioned, lack a punch that could be easily fixed by using some mixed greens instead of the standard iceberg lettuce.

Great home style cooking, great price. Don't expect a large menu, they don't have it. It's like eating at mom's. There is a limited menu for lunch. Choice of one of meats and three sides. Everything served is country, from fried green tomatos to lima beans. Fried Chicken Breast is always on the menu as is Salt Water fish. (During the afternoon, you can get fried Grouper for a little more.) The price is very reasonable and the food fills you up. Great for after church (have to compete with other 'after church' diners), during the week if you work near there or just an afternoon bumming around for a meal.
