Green Acres Cafe

Visiting for work. A friend recommended Green Acres.
I ordered the wings all the way and lemon pound cake.
The wings weren’t seasoned enough, luckily I ordered them all the way for some flavor. The wings were small, which is fine but I wasn’t expecting that.
The lemon pound cake was soooo good.
I would go again, but I wouldn’t run there again.

Best. Chicken. Ever. I literally drove from Atlanta to come get this chicken. It was completely worth it and I will be back next time I’m in Alabama. There was a very long line and the woman at the counter was very sweet. They were fast and very pleasant workers. I’m happy with my visit and definitely will be coming back here and telling all of my family in Alabama that this is the place to go. Definitely try their fried green tomatoes, they’re delicious.

GREEN ACRES CAFE! can the put one in Columbus GA? I Absolutely Love their chicken wings and fried green tomatoes! This is the best place in town! I get mine «all the way». This is the best way. Completely doused in hot sauce and ketchup. You can add salt and pepper. If you are ever in the Birmingham area stop here and get some chicken wings!

On my way back to Nashville I stopped at this eatery. Learned about this place via google. The chicken was pretty good and service was fast! I usually particular about where I eat chicken and lately have become accustomed to eating mostly at Hattie B’s here in Nashville. Will return

GREEN ACRES GREEN ACRES!!! as good as it gets! It is a little hole in the wall but never judge a book by its cover. I came here with my honey and tried the wings which were AMAZING!!! I want to go back so bad too bad they are not in Tampa. I am not sure what kind of sauce they use on the wings but let me just tell you, no need to change and a must try!

I first tried them in 1982 when they were in the original shop a couple doors up. It was unbelievably amazing. The wings were not only whole but huge. I would order mine all the way, extra everything. They would be covered in an orange colored sauce that was really hot but tasted so good. Sad to say now that the wings are so small that they look like they came off a skinny yard bird. And now I practically beg for lots of sauce but it’s always little blotches of mainly ketchup and mustard with very little hot sauce. Which is NO WAY the same as it used to be. When Mama and Richard left the old place and the owner took over it has went steadily down hill. I it sucks but I don’t think it will ever be the same. The one on 1^st ave. is the same but still has best fried green tomatoes.

GREEN ACRES IS THE ACTUAL TRUTH! I had wings wings wings and more wings! And other things! All of which were spectacular. This Chicagoan is impressed!

Originally had intended on dining at the Irondale Café, but I arrived in between lunch and dinner. I had then decided on trying out Green Acres. I had the chicken wings with fries and bread. My first impressions of the food was that it looked very skimpy. The wings were very small, very salty and very greasy. The fries were average at best, but nothing special, and the bread was literally white bread. Overall I am unhappy with my experience there, if I wanted greasy salty deep fried chicken I would have gone to popeyes.

I had high hopes for this place, as it was one of my first down home experiences with Alabama food. I wanted the basics — fried chicken and fries. Both where pretty average, and the fries were pretty bleak (they were barely cooked and floppy). I know that there are better casual, authentic opportunites to eat around Bham, so, I’ll be patient and try another eatery, the next time I’m in town.

I learned from this spot what it means to go to a true chicken shack. They serve whole wings with fries and bread, and when you douse the plate with hot sauce, it absorbs into errrrythang.
The molecular integrity of the batter and skin stay intact with a lot of hot sauce on top and the bread and fries absorb it so well.
I also first started eating gizzards and livers from here which are awesome and lightly fried at Green Acres. The sleeper item here are the fried green tomatoes. Check this spot out and check out the Civil Rights museum a few blocks away.
They also have a vending maching you can buy cigarettes and condoms from, awesome.

Apparently this place is always a finalist for Steve Harvey’s best fried chicken in America. I just didn’t see it. The fried chicken was good, but not amazing. It’s only chicken wings, no breasts/​thighs/​drumsticks etc. The fries that come with it are kinda soggy, and the wings themselves aren’t super crispy either. There’s no amazing seasoning or anything, it’s just solid.
The lady behind the counter is super charming though. There’s no place to place to sit down but you can stand by the counter.
