Irondale Cafe

"Iconic & endearing, Irondale Cafe is a must for lunch! I seek to visit whenever I am traveling through the area. They have a great country, soul-food, fresh selection of food via a staff serviced style cafe offering. Meat & 2, Meat and 3 or any combination one may wish for is available. Staff is attentive and friendly. The train station vibe both marvelous and unique."

"The food here is good! It's nice to have good food that isn't from a drive-thru. The history is nice too. I like seeing the train platform out front, but unfortunately it was taped off the day we went. But the food was great!"

"We decided to eat here because of the movie Fried Green Tomatoes. When we got there and saw the line of people, I must admit that we were doubtful. As the line started moving quicker we got to see the menu. It was all over from that point on. The food was absolutely delicious and we enjoyed every bite. The price was very reasonable and we will definitely be eating here again. This place and their food is worth it!!"

"We absolutely loved our visit to this iconic cafe. The food was delicious and the service great! Stopping here for lunch was on the agenda for our recent Sister Trip and it did not disappoint. I would definitely go back!"

"Love this place. Down home Southern cafeteria style . Food was excellent and service was as well. If you like Fried Green Tomatoes ( the food and/or the movie) this is the place that inspired it all. Get there early. Only open 11-2:30pm and the line is already started! Moves fast and is well worth the short wait."
