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 felt that I had to come here because this place looked old school. I remember going to some old…read moreschool places in Atlanta so I figured this would be similar, yet not really. And what I mean by old school is a long standing business frequented by an older clientele. It reminds me of my childhood, I guess. I got some fried chicken with mac, it came with corn bread (not the sweet kind), and I could taste the home style cooking. I really enjoyed. I also got a cinnamon roll and a pound cake, and both tasted homemade. And it was all good. I guess I got no more to say.

They have also expanded their drink menu which is a plus for us none beer drinkers. The bartender was very friendly and the food was brought out quickly.

They had some good choices. The saw shee I don't need but they are always delicious just to put that out there. So I've been seeing these skins when I come. No I have never thought to try them. I got 2 plain ones off the bar as I would inquire about the bags of BBQ at the front upon leaving. The nice young lady said they were brought this morning. I believe that, but my problem is I don't feel they were freshly cooked skins. Both skins the plain on the bar and the bbq which I purchased upon leaving were chewy as hell. The BBQ seasoning was so good. But I can't get down with stale skins. I need some crunch. My dad was one of the best pitmasters there was. I know when the skin came off that hog and it wasn't crisp to throw it in the oven. It crisp right on up for a skin sammich. But you might be lucky and catch some on a good day so I won't say don't try them but for me this was my one time experience. One & Done!

I gladly dropped my cash. ..salmon cakes made me cry....everything was off the chain. Well, I had my good juju on, I sat on a bench with a 30 year veteran of this place. She talked my ear off, what a delight. So the place is decked out in Allman brothers memorbilia. It was their early haunt as they rose to fame. Well the founder, older blk lady is dead. Her family smartly sold out to corporate. But it was worth it. They maintained all thats good. Even the tiny old bathrooms. Need an update for sure. But. .Definitely worth the visit. Parking was horrible! So go early! Now, you need to go by Macon cemetery. See Allman burial, civil war places. I want to explore Macon more now! Well, as we drove home, around Jacksonville, I reached in the back seat. No fork. Just a smile. Yes i fed my driver. Salmon cakes hit on all cylinders. Sadly the two meat plate left off my meat, turkey. But forgiven. I should have checked my to go order. Never trust. Always verify. Broke my own rules! Stop by.
