You Must Taste The Fried Green Tomatoes At This Unique Restaurant In Alabama

Are you ready for what many say are the best fried green tomatoes in Alabama? Pay a visit to McCutchen's Magnolia House in Scottsboro and savor the crunchy, warm, tart goodness of a dish Alabama Tourism has listed among the state's 100 best.

McCutchen's Magnolia House is located just off the town square in a sky-blue Victorian home. It is open daily from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. for lunch.

Dining spaces are set up for groups of various sizes throughout the home, which is decorated in antiques and traditional decor. The atmosphere is much like having a family meal at your grandmother's house – if your grandma lives in a big, old house dating back to 1890 and is a Southern comfort food queen.

As noted, the must-do menu item is the fried green tomatoes. You can get them in orders of four or eight, alone or with any plate. Come hungry because there's more to explore beyond this five-star starter.

The menu features selections you can expect every visit alongside rotating daily specials. Dishes include down-home favorites like fried chicken, casseroles, hamburger steak, fried okra, and buttery cornbread.

If you want more than an appetizer and yet aren't hungry enough for a big dinner, do the BLT. It's your solution for sampling the famous fried green tomatoes while making a mid-sized meal of it. Unlike the typical version of this sandwich, the red tomato is exchanged for one of the Magnolia House golden-fried green ones. The sandwich comes with one side item of your choice, whether that's fried onion rings, fresh fruit, or one of the veggies of the day from the daily hot food bar.

When the weather permits, the outdoor patio is a popular spot for enjoying the food and atmosphere at Magnolia House.

For a nice stroll before or after lunch, check out the Jackson County Park Trail and Vernon Bush Garden, which is only 2.5 miles south of the restaurant. This trail is a one-mile, mostly flat loop that's especially popular in the spring for the many blooming flowers lining the pathway.
