We ate at Calhoun’s a few nights ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. The salad, biscuits, baked potato, broccoli, and chicken were excellent; the brisket was good. Service was great. Will definitely eat there next time in Gatlinburg.

Most of the reviews were pretty average and our is the same. The service from Luis was very good but the food was just okay. The burnt ends were tasty but we split the Calhoun tris and it was just okay. Also had a Caesar salad and it had a very watery dressing.

The bacon wrapped burnt ends were delicious as were the green beans. I opted for the Tennessee chicken special which I would rate as good, but not outstanding. Probably should have stuck with the brisket or ribs, their real specialty. We had blackberry mojitos which were outstanding. Prices were reasonable.

I made a reservation two months ago for our vacation, a couple walked in no reservation and was seated before me. That irritated me. The found was cold my brisket was cold. The pulled pork I ordered was warm. The ribs were stiff not pull apart and they cleaned number one for ribs, that was a lie. The host couldn’t handle his job. Understaffed, just really all a bad experience. I won’t be going to the Gatlinburg location again.

Our table was waiting when we arrived. The mules were excellent. We both ordered wings (fried and smoked). They were both good and my husband really liked their signature sauce. The service was excellent!
