Fried Green Tomato's - Hoover

The place was ok, and the food was ok. I liked the service and how attentive and helpful the staff were since it was my first time there and i had no idea where to order or what to order. Will probably be back to try more stuff.

We LOVE this restaurant! We have tried lots of different vegetables and they are all fresh and delicious but the fried green tomatoes are amazing!

I really enjoyed my vegetable plate. The everything was hot and flavorful. I particularly enjoyed the black eyed peas and the Mac n cheese. The roll was an excellent addition to the meal. <br/ <br/ I was not fond of the pecan pie. Hardly any pecans.

Delicious!. Aside from the girl at the register who coulld use some customer service training, everything was delicious. No complaints except that the on-line menu needs updating earlier in the day than 10:30. We wanted the green tomato okra fritters but they did not have them. The jalapeno hushpuppies were to die for! Love the bright and cheery space! Look forward to going back.

A hard to dislike restaurant with great potential. Cute and clean decor (although somewhat small . This restaurant is hard to describe. It fits the description of a meat and three, but it reminds me of a diner, that meets a fast food joint that meets a hospital cafeteria. The staff is friendly and helpful. The restaurant is clean, with a cute and cohesive decor and seemingly efficiently run. If you like meat and threes you should definitely give it a try. <br/ Taste of the food: The food is usually tasty, but somewhat bland. One of my recent orders had mostly beige, white and tan foods. Mashed potatoes, country fried steak (which was really chopped steak and gravy , and butterbeans. Yes, I 'm the one who chose such bland in color dishes, but you see, the choices are somewhat lackluster and not exciting. I really didn 't have a lot of colorful options. They don 't offer a lot of bold and exciting choices and the portions are somewhat small. This is why the meal experience is not very exciting. <br/ The food that actually is good is very tasty, but I found myself adding salt and pepper on almost everything. They don 't use a lot of seasonings (like butter, etc. So if you 're looking for a healthy meat and three, this is the restaurant for you. The macaroni and cheese was not good at all. Nothing like we like it in the south. Breadcrumbs on top? No. Just no. Update:I went back on 03/16 and ordered the chopped steak. It was fatty and/or woefully undercooked. I could not tell which. The green beans and mashed potatoes however, were very tasty and well-seasoned and ultimately saved the meal for me. <br/ Anyway, overall, I think the restaurant has staying power. They just need to turn up the seasonings, sass and creativity. They play it so safely, that I feel as if I 'm about to nod off while eating most of their food. The fried chicken is very tasty (maybe some of the best I 've ever had . But their signature dish Fried Green Tomatoes weren 't really that good. I would give the Fried Green tomatoes (the dish a 5 or 6. The breading was like the like the breading on fast food fish fillets. Smooth and tan, without a lot of flavor. The tomatoes themselves were definitely green, fresh and sharp with the necessary fried green tomato 'bite '. But what happened to cornmeal with salt and pepper? <br/ <br/ The buttermilk pie was tasty and spot on, although the custard was not as firm as it could have been. I 've made that mistake myself when baking it. Back to the point, everyone has their own interpretation of recipes. This restaurant has some slightly different interpretations. I am not sure if it 's a regional thing or what. For example on 03/16, they served pineapple cobbler. It really wasn 't that good. It sounded like a great idea, I suppose, but somehow it didn 't come together. The filling wasn 't quite sweet and thick enough and had a slight aftertaste. I admire them for trying something new, however. <br/ <br/ The good news is: If they would stop trying to play it safe, add a few more seasonings, keep up the quality and not make any more technical errors (like my fatty undercooked chopped steak we might have another strong meat and three contender in the Birmingham market. However. they are right on the line. If the quality drops or they take any step backwards, I don 't see how they can complete in the Birmingham market that is already full of restaurants.
