 Dunno how much you want to take Rachel Ray's $40-A-Day word for it,
 but Mrs. Wilkes Boarding House is supposed to be good for lunch.
 Folks line up to get in, seating is family-style communal, and
 food is also served up family style.

 A Savannah native took us there, and I hated it.  Fried everything, sit with
 strangers, not even wine or beer.  But it does tremendous business, the line
 starts to form at 11am or so.

 Johnny Harris(don't have the address handy), hands down.  It's a bar b q place,
 one of the best in the country, but has an ambience that is head a shoulders
 above any bar b q place that I've ever been to.  Be sure to take some of their
 sauce with you.

 Mrs. Wilkes Boarding House (107 W. Jones Street, 912-232-5997) is
 phenomenal.  A true treasure that will more than likely be mowed over
 for a corporate franchise or strip mall in the future.  Go while you
 can, the best fried chicken ever.
