If you get a hankering for some ribs and a frosty beer, Calhoun's is the place to go. This Tennessee-based chain offers plenty of local favorites like fried green tomatoes and catfish, as well as the famous ribs. The sky's the limit with soups, salads, sandwiches, burgers and, of course, plenty of meat options to choose from. If you don't go for ribs, the fried chicken and char-grilled shrimp have plenty of fans. Small-batch brews from Smoky Mountain Brewery are available to buy in refillable to-go growlers.
