" Fried Green Tomatoes is a lovely place to enjoy a meal. The atmosphere has a charming, rustic vibe that makes you feel at home. The fried green tomatoes appetizer did not disappoint! While the main dishes we chose were good, I felt they could have used a bit more seasoning to really bring the flavors out. Service was friendly but a tad slow at times. Overall, a pleasant experience, and I would come back to explore more of their menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" We came for dinner to celebrate my wife's birthday, and it could not have gone any better! Everything from the service to the ambiance was just perfect. The pork ribeye was expertly cooked and full of flavor, while the seafood pasta was packed with fresh ingredients that made my taste buds dance. Our server knew the menu inside out and made fantastic recommendations. Can’t wait to go back soon; this will become our regular spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant is on the higher-end side for dining in Galena, but it’s worth every penny! I came here for a special occasion and was treated like royalty. The espresso steak was out of this world, perfectly cooked medium-rare, and the flavors were divine. The staff, especially our server Sara, were attentive and friendly, making great suggestions throughout. That blueberry cheesecake we shared was heavenly! Each bite was perfection, and it made our night even more memorable. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Fried Green Tomatoes is simply amazing! I stopped in after a long day of exploring Galena, and the vibe here is just right. I opted for the seafood pasta, which was delightful—not too heavy, but just enough sauce to highlight the seafood. Our server was friendly and brought our drinks promptly. The atmosphere was lively yet relaxed, making it easy to enjoy our meal. I will definitely be back soon. This place deserves all five stars! " (*Curated Review*)

" Fried Green Tomatoes didn’t quite meet my expectations. I found the fried green tomatoes too oily for my taste, though my traveling companion loved them. I ordered the steak, which was well-prepared but lacked seasoning to really elevate the dish. Service was decent, but our server seemed a bit overwhelmed during the busy dinner service. I might consider returning to give it another chance, but it wasn't as impressive as I had thought. " (*Curated Review*)

" I love the atmosphere at Fried Green Tomatoes! It's cozy, with a mix of rustic and elegant decor. The fried green tomatoes were a must-try, and they did not disappoint! They were crispy on the outside and deliciously juicy on the inside. For my main dish, I chose the cedar plank walleye. It was excellent too; however, the sides seemed a bit lackluster. Service was great, and I felt well taken care of throughout. I would rate this place highly and recommend it to others visiting Galena. " (*Curated Review*)

" Fried Green Tomatoes has become a favorite spot for me in Galena. I love their commitment to using fresh ingredients, and the menu offers a delightful variety. I ordered the seafood pasta dish, which was delightful, but my partner enjoyed the pork chop more. We ended with dessert—the tiramisu made in-house, which was creamy and a perfect end to the meal. I recommend this place to anyone who loves good food! " (*Curated Review*)
