On 11/17/2025 Bobbie M. had this to say:
From service to food to ambiance we loved Fried Green Tomatoes. The bruschetta was as delicious. The bread was perfectly toasted. Not too hard and not soggy. The mussels were tender and the sauce was exquisite. White wine reduction with garlic, butter, shallots, and a hint of chorizo. For our main course we had the house salad and I was delighted that it was not iceberg or romaine but rather a mix of greens. My husband gas the Jack Daniels glazed ribeye abs red potatoes. He ordered it rare and they delivered. I had the Burrata stuffed ravioli with grilled shrimp, baby scallops, zucchini, shallots, and a deliciously creamy roasted red pepper sauce.

We stayed for a weekend in Galena at a B&B. The staff there recommended Fried Green Tomatoes and boy are we glad we listened. Best meal of the weekend, and possibly the year. Service was excellent (although it probably helped that we had a 6:30 reservation on a Sunday night) and the food was wonderful.
