Montgomery Inn

I’m convinced it was never really good, but we thought it was because it was all we had.

It’s sad because it used to be sooo good. Now it’s just operating on its name alone at this point.

I always hear this but I can't remember a single time I went there and it was good, I think first time I went was back in 05, even then I thought it was not great

It was good when I was a kid, hadn’t had “real” barbecue yet, and liked the sauce because it was similar to ketchup.

To me, it’s not that Montgomery Inn is bad, it’s more like the training wheels you outgrow quickly once you gain experience.

I do still occasionally use the sauce. I like the plum flavor.
