It's Tamale Time in Phenix City, Alabama

Tamale Time on Summerville Drive is a great local spot if you’re craving fresh, flavorful tamales and friendly service.

Prices are reasonable for the quality, and the staff is warm, patient, and happy to explain the menu or make suggestions, which makes each visit feel welcoming. The space has a casual, relaxed vibe that works just as well for a quick lunch as it does for grabbing a box of tamales to take home and share.

First time going here. We had our order to go since the place is small and only had 2 small tables. Tamales were good. Not as big as I thought they were going to be but they were good. The green salsa needs a little bit of kick for me but once you deep the Tamales in it, it all comes together. The street corn on the cob was amazing, I keep trying to figure out the sauce but I gave up and just had a 2nd one. It was amazing.

Love supporting locally/ family owned businesses. The food is so delicious and full of flavor. I had the pork tamales and one al pastor taco, I immediately regretted not ordering another taco! I will definitely be a recurring customer. Amazing food!

Today was my first time eating there and I must say, it was good! The service was great. The staff was very nice and helpful. The prices are reasonable. They also have vegan and vegetarian options as well. It didn't take long time for the food be done either (which you can actually SEE them doing. I also like the atmosphere. Very chill. Check it out👍
