Fried Green Tomatoes
A long-running Main Street dinner house open since 1993, known for its Italian-style fried green tomatoes, steaks and seafood pasta. It is one of Galena's highest-rated sit-down restaurants.
Housed in a multi-story historic building at 213 Main Street, the restaurant has served steaks and Italian-style dishes since 1993. Its name comes from the signature starter: green tomato slices, breaded and fried, topped with mozzarella and Parmesan and served with tomato sauce. Hand-cut USDA Choice steaks, seafood flown in weekly, and a wine list recognized by Wine Spectator are also praised. The espresso-rubbed filet is a frequently recommended main. Portions are generous and the atmosphere is fairly formal, which suits dates and anniversaries. Dinner only, from 4:00 pm Sunday through Friday and from 2:00 pm on Saturday. Reserve weekend tables in advance through OpenTable or by phone. Walkable from the historic district.
