First time eating here, and it was a very enjoyable meal. The menu is a bit small, but has a nice variety. Food was very fresh tasting, you could tell it was made from scratch. Garlic mashed potatoes were excellent. The salad had a fabulous raspberry dressing. The bread served with the salad was Amazing! It's almost worth it just... More

We started enjoying this wonderful restaurant about ten years ago when they were still located outside of town. The food is always amazing as is the service. The fried green tomatoes appetizer is a must do when dining here!

We recommend the steak martini appetizer! The entrees were wonderful and came with lots of delicious home-made salad and warm bread with olive oil for dipping. Everyone was great.

I've eaten here on 2 separate trips this year already and this place is unforgettable!!! The fried green tomatoes are worth the trip even if you just have them and nothing else but everything we've had has been delicious. This place is on our go to list every time we visit Galena!!!

Great ambience and a fabulous meal - I had the expresso crusted filet and it was perfect! Cleaned my plate in no time! The deserts were also fabulous, we really enjoyed the chocolate cake! I would love to give it five stars, but my sister was disappointed that her normal filet tasted so much like charcoal. It should be noted... More

a friend and I went to Galena for a girl's night out. I had heard so many great things about Fried Green Tomatoes that I insisted we have dinner there. I made reservations well in advance. It was not very crowded (a Saturday night). the service was good. The food was just ok... but it was very expensive. We did... More

Friday night they had great entertainment (12 string guitarist). Lively bar scene. Food was well above average. Now it's a must stop whenever we are in Galena.

The service and the decor were nice. The food was well presented but underseasoned and the flavors were not as developed as I would have liked, The mango salsa was mostly tomatoes but I enjoyed the salad and house vinegarette.
