Ox Tails
Braised low and slow until the meat falls off the bone, in a deep gravy. The plate reviewers came back for.
House favoriteOx tails, fried chicken, mac and cheese and greens — meat and sides made the way Ms Teresa's family always has. Come hungry.
"Like eating at my grandmother's kitchen table again."
J.W. Beverette's is Ms Teresa Jackson's kitchen — and in Montgomery, folks come as much for her hospitality as for the food. Every plate goes out fast, seasoned right, and made to taste like home.
Soul food here isn't a menu, it's a memory: ox tails braised down soft, chicken with all the meat and none of the shortcuts, greens and dressing and yams set beside them. Generous, dignified, and always welcoming.
