This is my favorite place in Montgomery -it is called
COUNTRY'S BARBEQUE. It is a diner that takes you back to the 60's and 70's .You can imagine the people .Girls with PonyTails, Bobbie Sox and Chantilly Lace -chewing gum and gathered round the juke box. Real 'Happy Days' stuff .Guys with leather jackets and the essential comb, crepe soled creepers and jeans and wanting to be Elvis Presley trying to be super cool.
It is filled with tons of memorabilia and you can remember when everything was new? When you go in you start boppin' and you feel like a jive,then the waitress comes out in sixties gear.Being British this looks so 'American',at least my idea of 'American'.you can imagine the Fonz coming in, or Ronnie Howard or Connie Francis.
You go in and become 18 again.
The food is cool (well it's mostly hot,unless you have a salad) and the iced tea is really thirst quenching.
It is not just young people but older ones as well ,sharing memories and the waitresses share theirs, as well as giving out Coke and DrPepper's
It is nice to be young again,but it does not last. You go through the door to outside, from the mountain top,down to traffic on the free way and you are back to reality. Then the Lord makes a promise in Isaiah They who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength.God can make me 18 again forever.In the mean time -Showadda -do,dodedo shwadda ....now where is the Brylcream?
