When visiting Montreal from the US mid-west, why not visit a place specializing in American southern cooking? The chef is from Kentucky, the menu is representative of great regional American cuisine. The staff is super super friendly and knowledgeable. The fried chicken is delicious, as is the macaroni and cheese. Greens and beans are both flavored excellently. Stray misfires: the oddly gray mashed potatoes and gravy, the lackluster cornbread and the bread pudding which doesn't resemble any bread pudding I have ever encountered. The dinette itself is tiny, but they do often open the larger dining room two doors down (but connected to the restaurant behind the stairway between the two shops).
