The cafe Idgie and Ruth run. It was built for the film inside an old general store in Juliette, and it stayed open after the crew left.
What to order
Fried green tomatoes, then fried chicken and a slice of pie
A tiny Georgia railroad town that kept the movie set as a real Southern lunch spot. The fried green tomatoes are the point.
