Downtown Montgomery Convention Center District

A sophisticated, yet laidback atmosphere permeates this downtown restaurant that’s housed in an 1890s grocery warehouse. Central’s food is focused on fresh, regional produce, meats and Gulf seafood, and Chef Brandon Burleson treats the ingredients with respect, highlighting them with expert preparation and artful presentation. The menu changes often to reflect what’s in season. Central’s signature dish, 1895 Pork & Beans, is an upscale twist to a southern favorite, featuring a Duroc pork chop stuffed with pears, red dragon eaves, farro with seasonal beans, mustard BBQ sauce with a charred cabbage and beet reduction.
