The food and service were very nice. Tasty dishes and attentive service. Unfortunately, our experience (and others in the room as well) were greatly affected by a large and clearly inebriated group of people. They were talking so loudly at one another, and it made it very difficult for other diners to enjoy the otherwise pleasant environment. While the restaurant can't be blamed for having loud patrons, I was surprised when a first - then second round of drinks were served - that IS a management issue.

We had a wonderful dinner at Fried Green Tomatoes! The osso buco was perfectly cooked—tender, flavorful, and falling off the bone. The lasagna was also fantastic—rich, cheesy, and full of flavor. Great food and a warm, inviting atmosphere. Highly recommend!

We watched the end of the 4th of July parade from the window after we sat down. Great atmosphere, friendly & efficient service, great food. We shared the fried green tomato appetizer & the delicious bread. Entrees we ordered were the Osso Buco & the 5 oz filet w/ shrimp. Both came with mashed potatoes. Added the pineapple crème brûlée for dessert. We loved everything!

Food was very good. Server at the bar and waitress also very good. Only negative was our entrees came too soon before we had even finish our appetizers. Think they may have been trying to get ahead of a large party. Reasonable pricing for quality and quantity.

My wife and I celebrated my retirement at FGT and found it to be the perfect spot. Our server, Stephanie, was wonderful. Our meal was delicious, we had the seats we requested, and we didn’t feel rushed. Love this place!
