Ulysses S. Grant came to Galena to help his father with a leather business, a business once located at 213 North Main Street. Over a century later, the same building is home to Fried Green Tomatoes. Charm, intrigue and history make guests wonder what stories they might hear “if walls could talk.” Restaurant owners, Fred and Mari-Kristin Bonnet, wanted a building with history and vintage character to support the distinctive dining. As quoted in the Galena Gazette, Bonnet shares his enthusiasm for the ambitious project. “I left the brickwork exposed. I left the patterns on the wall and reproduced them elsewhere in the restaurant. The history of the building Mr. Dowling built is part of the experience for our guests,” explains Bonnet. “This is not just going out to dinner; this is a real dining-historic treat.”

Named in honor of Galena’s nine Civil War generals, this restaurant offers casual evening dining with house specialties, steaks, seafood and pasta dishes. Aaron Alexander at the Piano Friday and Saturday evenings.
