Very low key spot for a late Saturday night dinner. Great service We started off with the southwest eggs which were good. My fiance had the bacon burger. And I had the black jack burger.

The service was decent but the food was very underwhelming. I ordered the lemon pepper wings (which…read morewas best item imo) but the chicken tenders were super dry and the Parmesan fries did not have any seasoning or flavor whatsoever. I almost stood and yelled "EEEYUCK" at the top of my voice. My girlfriend had the grilled shrimp tacos. They were very underwhelming as well, lacked flavor/seasoning and the sauce was watered down on them as well. The corn salsa tasted like it came out of a can. Not a great experience at all from the food standpoint, but if you do come here, I would stick to the wings to ensure a decent food experience.

The area around this location is poorly maintained (a Hooters across the road is empty and overgrown, and the restaurant next door looks like the roof is about to cave it) but inside Fried Green Tomatoes is a very friendly, customer-focused staff serving some of the best Southern food I've had in a looooooong time! Their chicken is perfect and the tomatoes! I will each three servings of the FGT's next time, no doubt! Do not miss this place. . .they deserve all the business they can get! (Also, just FYI: "two meats" on the menu means FOUR pieces of delicious chicken and you can choose light or dark or a combination of both. . .) UPDATE: I stopped here again two days later for supper and the food was exactly the same quality, but the customer service was even better! Don't miss FGT!

I went for lunch but didn't get the opportunity to eat it til supper since my sis text once I ordered my plate and wanted to do lunch together. I ordered the turkey wings, dressing, and potato salad. I know a lot of starch but I really wanted to try the potato salad as another reviewer posted it and it looked really good. Well this one wasn't. It was white and not yellow as I had hoped for. I love the mustardy taste in potato salad. It was not seasoned and so bland as was the dressing and turkey wings. The fried green tomatoes were chewy. And I tasted those time I got in the car as I always do. Huge difference!!! I was really shocked. There has got to be a new cook or at least for 1/8/26. This was not the typical seasoning or taste I was used to. I ate my turkey wings so my stomach wouldn't be touching my back and trashed the rest. Maybe I'll have better luck when I return. I'll be switching things up tho when I order.

I went inside so that I could actually check out the spot , seems to be a pretty nice. The line to place your order is so the left when you walk in. There were a few people dining in but I couldn't really tell if they had table service or if you still had to go through the line. They also have a drive thru option. The food was standard. The dressing was a bit dry. They offered a choice of gravy that likely would have helped but I don't like gravy on my dressing. The cabbage were a bit overcooked but all was still edible. My mother had turnips on her plate, she advised they were tough also I sampled her yams and they were really good. 7.5 out of 10, would try again.

The shrimp was seasoned well the Grits had Gouda cheese in them and were delightful all in all it was absolutely delicious. We also tried their fried Grits sticks, which were very yummy again it's one of our favorite places to travel to in Georgia, highly highly recommended.
