Having gluten free choices clearly marked on the menu is very important to me. I was very surprised that they offered a gluten free bread, which was very good! The special I ordered was maple glazed salmon and it was excellent. Our waitress was excellent and very knowledgeable. She checked with the chef to be able to answer several questions I had.

Food was amazing. The table next to us had the ice cream martini. First layer ice cream, then tiramisu, whip cream then layer of flourless chocolate cake covered in whip cream and chocolate sauce. It looked delightful. Many people have commented that this is their favorite restaurant in Galena. We will be back !

Fried Green Tomatoes was an excellent dining experience in Galena. We wanted to find a restaurant for lunch/dinner that was worthwhile, especially since we had an unpleasant experience in the past with another restaurant. The experience was amazing and fantastic here. The entrees and ambiance was so nice, we didn't want to leave. I would definitely return back to this restaurant and recommend everyone to join us. When in Galena, try Fried Green Tomatoes, you won't be disappointed at all!

Food was over-priced -not a good value. It was extremely loud so we couldn’t hear our conversation with our guests. Service wasn’t great as I would have expected. Probably won’t be dining there again. Plus we had to walk up flights of stairs and not ideal for older folks with bad knees.

Service was great, fast and very attentive. Food was delicious. I would have appreciated a vegetable with my meal, more than just the salad however. I rated the ambience low because several people kept their hats on and/or wore sweatshirts in this white table cloth establishment…certainly not the restaurants fault.

Great place. Have been going for years. Whenever we're in town, we know where we're having dinner. The only thing missing with some entrees is vegetables. But the salad and bread loaf are both very good!

Our favorite restaurant when we are in Galena. Food was very good, but then food has always been good here. Only issue is we felt like we were being rushed during our meal. A couple of times the wait staff asked us if they could take our plates when there was clearly food left on our plates and we were still eating.
