What is the name of the café that appears prominently in the movie "Fried Green Tomatoes"?

In the 1991 film "Fried Green Tomatoes", Academy Award winners Kathy Bates and Jessica Tandy star with Mary Stuart Masterson and Mary-Louise Parker in what is an inspiring drama adapted from Fannie Flagg’s best-selling novel. Action in the film takes place when an unhappy housewife (Bates) befriends a lady in a nursing home (Tandy). Bates hears a remarkable tale about laughter, devotion, and a special friendship that defies all obstacles. A centerpiece and parallel storyline is about the murder of Ruth's abusive husband, Frank. The story about the ladies is truly told in a heartwarming way from acclaimed director Jon Avnet.

To help with the overall mood and film plot, the café that appears prominently within "Fries Green Tomatoes" is the Whistle Stop Café. It is a safe place for the main characters to meet and let their relationship grow. At this place, they are able to be themselves, speak their minds, and act out their emotions.

Also, the "Whistle Stop Café" presented in the book and film was loosely based on a real café (the Irondale Café in Irondale, Alabama). It is located in a suburb near Fannie Flagg's birthplace. The café was bought by Flagg's aunt, Bess Fortenberry, in 1932; it was run by Bess and two friends for four decades. It is still in operation and, like the fictional café, is known for its fried green tomatoes.
