Irondale Cafe

I haven't been to this restaurant I'm almost 20 years. As GREAT as I have always remembered! Fried green tomatoes is something that this restaurant is known for and they're delicious!! (Yes, the movie "Fried Green Tomatoes," is roughly based on this well established restaurant)Today, I had these, along with Mac and Cheese (Homemade, not the quick stuff) Fresh Collard Greens, Cornbread with Tea. My lunch partner had Country Fried Steak (they shared a piece with me and it was fantastic. I'm picky when it comes to this..but it was yummy!) Homemade Creamed potatoes, FGT too, as well as Cornbread! A lot of food, so a to go container was provided. We arrived fairly late, around 2:15 p.m., and they close at 2:30. I dislike going into a restaurant close to closing time, as I've owned & worked in the business, and understand how servers feel about this, however, we were warmly greeted and welcomed by all! ???????????????? Visit this nice restaurant, you will not be disappointed! Vegetarian opti

This is a must stop. The fried pork chop is outstanding as are all the sides. My wife had livers and gravy, also outstanding. If you are in the area do yourself a favor and stop. BTW service is excellent

Southern fare served cafeteria style in a cafe with walls that display acclaimed visitors. Enjoy their veggie plate esp the fried green tomatoes with remoulade. The meat selections included buttermilk baked chicken, liver n onions or fried catfish, to name a few. Cornbread was blah and coconut pie just pie... but other varieties deserve a try. Long wait today.
