“we have ate here on and off since moving here over 20 years ago. I love the salad bar and have always been very satisfied. However our most resent visit was NOT good. I got the cod and mashed potatoes . Our food took a long time and then my mashed potatoes and gravy were very cold. The waitress did not come back to the table for a long time. The boys were done eating and I was still waiting for a waiter to come. Eventually she came and warmed them up but by then my dinner was ruined and everyone was done eating. I will not eat warmed back up cod. So my whole dinner was chicken food. We may return but im in no hurry . Very disappointed in this visit. Never encountered this before, so hopefully it was an off day.”

“Ate here a couple months ago. My wife and I ordered the Nachos as an appetizer, which were amazing and definitely could have been a meal for both of us ( yes we were warned, but we love leftovers) Our waitress was top notch and very friendly. I am a lover of Philly Cheesesteaks, and this place by far has been the best I’ve ever had when dining out! They use Ribeye and actually give a generous amount, unlike most places that usually have more toppings than meat. Definitely will be back!”

“We had a wonderful dining experience at Fried Green Tomatoes in Galena! 🍂 The restaurant is charming and beautifully decorated for fall, creating such a warm and inviting atmosphere. Our waiter, Spencer, was fantastic! He was polite, professional, and very knowledgeable about the menu, making the experience even more enjoyable. We started with the chili-glazed shrimp, followed by the house salad with an excellent vinaigrette. The Parmesan-topped bread with olive oil dipping sauce was delicious, too! For our main course, we enjoyed the filet mignon with a crab-stuffed lobster tail, served over sweet potato mash with lobster sauce. Absolutely fantastic! The handcrafted cocktails were equally impressive. 🍸 From the food and drinks to the atmosphere and outstanding service, everything was wonderful. Spencer deserves a special shout-out for making us feel so welcome. We will definitely be back the next time we’re in Galena! ❤”
