About Pierce's Country Cooking
On Fairview Ave in Montgomery, Pierce's Country Cooking is a soul food restaurant serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner Monday through Saturday. Mornings bring a buffet-style breakfast alongside plated options like salmon croquettes and grits, while the lunch plate pairs baked chicken with rice, green beans, and a corn muffin. The kitchen runs a 17-dish menu covering fried chicken, collards, mac and cheese, and cornbread muffins, with peach cobbler and banana pudding for dessert. Orders are placed at a counter, walk-in style, with no reservations taken. Catering is available for events outside the restaurant. The parking lot has limited space, so arriving diners should plan for that when pulling in. The restaurant closes on Sundays, resuming its regular schedule the following Monday.

Customer Review Summary
Fried chicken served alongside classic sides draws most of the praise, with reviewers repeatedly pairing it with mac and cheese, rice, collards, and cornbread, plus a corn muffin and peach cobbler that one diner called delicious. Baked chicken with rice and green beans also gets a mention, and catering for a group event is singled out for good timing and communication. Staff hospitality comes up again and again, with servers described as friendly, kind, and quick, including one large group of fifty who said they were taken care of. A recurring theme is generous portions for reasonable prices, with one visitor calling the value surprising for what they received. Against this, one reviewer reports a visit where the fried chicken and mac and cheese were disgraceful, a hamburger steak tasted like a frozen patty, and both the peach cobbler and banana pudding were left uneaten. That same reviewer also warned about the parking lot damaging a vehicle. Another reviewer split on the same food versus service gap, calling the food horrible despite phenomenal service.
