Central Central, a locally owned restaurant situated in the heart of Montgomery’s downtown entertainment district, offers contem- porary southern cuisine in a sophisticated yet relaxed dining expe- rience. As Montgomery continues to grow its reputation as a destina- tion city, Central continues to be the number one pick on Trip Ad- visor for visitors and even draws celebrities like Oprah Winfrey, Malia Obama, Usher and Jonathan Goldsmith, also known as “the original most interesting man in the world.” Plus it ranks at the top of the list for those locals in the know. Customers’ favorite dishes include the Local Catch which in- cludes a seasonal bean & crawfish succotash, collard greens and potlicka sauce; the Bricken Chicken featuring smoked gnocchi, broccolini, meyer lemon, cipollini onions and natural jus; and the Cowboy Pork Chop brined in good ol’ southern sweet tea.
