Green Acres Cafe

Green Acres Cafe and its famous chicken wings are quintessential old-school Birmingham fare. The authentic fried whole chicken wings, green tomatoes, fish and more have folks lined outside the door. A slice of white bread accompanies the modest meal that is packaged in a brown paper brown.
