My husband just surprised me with a stop in on our way home from Florida vacation. Fried green tomatoes has been a favorite movie of mine ive seen so much I can quote it word for word. Fried green tomatoes is also a favorite food of ours as a family and most of what we grow in our garden to freeze back getting us through winter. I cried so many tears when he pulled off thinking we were lost and I realized where we'd stopped. It was an absolutely amazing experience. To see it all, walk it all, sit on the porch while waiting for our meal, that did not by any means disappoint. The service and our waitress was just as wonderful. It holds a dear spot in my core memories for sure. Also, we're very much picky eaters. Im a baker and love to cook. We traveled this vacation through Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi, Georgia and Florida, ate at many restaurants that left us excited for our journey but eager to get back home to mommys cooking (my cooking). My husband and child are very picky, this was ournlast meal of our adventures and the best. We could smell it cooking while waiting and both my husband and child said (wow, it smells just like home). and warmed the heart and belly in many ways. ❤️

Our family was traveling south on 75 to Florida and looking for a unique place for lunch. We stumbled upon the Whistle Stop and realized it was the original Whistle Stop from the Fried Green Tomatoes movie! We took a small 10 minute detour to Juliette, GA and had lunch. We signed ourselves on the list on the porch and waited to be called. It was a Monday afternoon at 12:00, so it was about a 45 minute wait. However it is nestled in an adorable little town with lots of antique and shops so killing time was fun and went by quickly. Obviously we started off with some fried green tomatoes and they were the best I've ever had! We had the Fried Chicken, Chicken Fried Steak and a concoction of steak/mashed potatoes topped with a tower of Onion rings. we tried as many sides off the menu as we could but they had a LOT of options for sides. Sweet Tea was exactly what you want from a Georgia town! We also really enjoyed all of the movie memorabilia and it was exciting to see the stone BBQ pit out back! It is a busy place (but its understandable bc it is a smallish place with only so much room!) But WELL WORTH the wait! This will be a new spot on our travels!

Very good! Fried green tomatoes hit the spot. I got the fried green tomato sandwich. 10/10 my Husband got the country fried steak he said it was classic southern Cooking. The tea was perfect too!

Had a wonderful experience here. The chicken however was a little dry and bland but everything else was great

Waited forever for food; it was hot but nothing tasted seasoned at all. Place had just opened and didn’t appear clean since salt shaker was absolutely gross.

my sister and I visited today. we drove 3.5 hours for a bucket list visit. the staff was outstanding! and the food was even better! everything came out steaming hot (literally steaming), huge portions, and delicious! Fried Green Tomatoes was a favorite movie of ours growing up. and our visit rekindled that live of the movie!
This place is definitely making money on the movie name alone and not the food. The food is horrible. Instant mashed potatoes and canned vegetables. The fried green tomatoes were crunchy on the outside and hard in the inside. I do not recommend!
