Cracker Barrel

Here are some more spots:
Four Way Grill
Southern / Soul Food Restaurant

Walking into the Four Way is like approaching the pearly gates of Soul Food heaven. The 65 year-old restaurant in the Soulsville neighborhood serves classic meat-and-three lunches. Their rotating line-up of meats and veggies changes daily, but a few things (like fried chicken) are constants.
Also, they have turkey and dressing every day. And it's really good turkey and dressing. It's the food equivalent of a hug.
