Calhoun's in Gatlinburg

Awesome experience as usual! Loving going here when we're in Gatlinburg! Gray was a great server!

We love Calhoun's. Food was delicious. Server was overwhelmed due to Christmas Parade crowds.

Our seat and service was good, but the food was not so great. Also I had put we had a birthday on the reservation for my son and nobody ever said anything about it. Disappointed in our visit.

Pretty disappointed. Came here because we heard the ribs were good, but they were super chewy and hard to get off the bone — didn't enjoy at all. Hardly any flavor either. Service was really slow, and the drink menu wasn't great. The wine options were especially bad. Overall, not worth the hype.

I celebrated my 79th birthday with you on 11/1/125. Since you opened I have made a special effort to be there. I currently live in Atlanta and have for 40 years. Ribs are my favorite birthday splurge and I brought my daughter and granddaughter. I also celebrated my 50th birthday with you and my father was with us that night - so it has become a special place for me. I have celebrated many , many birthdays and dinners there. I have traveled all over the world and have the means to go anywhere I choose to celebrate occasions. I have always chosen to come there. This was possibly the worst meal out I have ever experienced anywhere. To be honest the ribs were fair but cold.. The bread was not hot - would not melt butter and tasted stale - my cornbread was surely days old. My fries were soggy and limp. My granddaughter was served cold Mac and cheese that was bottom of the last of the pot. Nothing came out hot. I explained to our server who must have told someone then someone apologized much too late. It left a bad taste in my mouth that I can't get past and a terrible memory I CANNOT get past . What has happened? This is awful -I may not ever come back , but I hope you can fix this, you have lost a lot of and not just me as a customer. Joanne Burch

Restaurant was nice but the ladies restroom was out of paper towels. We ordered our food and when it arrived we had no silverware. The food was barely warm when it got to the table and it was even colder when we finally got silverware. I left a note in open table that it was my mom's birthday and we were celebrating. Not one mention from the staff about her bday. One guest ordered a coke after a cocktail and the server never came back to the table after dropping of the coke. We had to flag down several people to pay the bill. $3.60 for a soft drink that never was refilled. Very unimpressed with our dinner and the service.

We made a reservation about two months in advance for seven people. I also included two high chairs for our grandkids. The hostess was not very accommodating on helping us have a table together even though we ate at 5:00 PM and the place was empty. Not very friendly! 

Good barbecue ribs and smoked chicken. Sides were ok - potato and Cole slaw better than Mac and cheese. Even though we were early, it seemed like they were very busy.

Ran out of ribs. Didn't tell us up front. Did prime rib shrimp special instead. Prime rib appeared to be what “was left” at end of day ( we dined at 9:45).

Ok, went because the sign said local trout and half price bottle of wine. The server has to check for 5 min on wine before confirming. They were out of Trout. Ordered wine but never got it. Server said they were out of clean glasses! What? Ordered food. Never got our salad. Pork chop and meat loaf were good. Was a really bad experience for an up scale restaurant. Was disappointed on not having what was advertised and service that was not prepped on what they were doing.

Great service. Good food quality.

Nice place to get a normal meal in town. Food and service was great. Reasonably priced for a tourist town. Restaurant was clean. If you get tired of the gimmicky restaurants in town, give them a try.

Jonathan was an amazing server! Very knowledgeable and friendly. The food was outstanding as well!

The sign out front says the best ribs in America. Now that I have eaten there I agree with the sign, I truly do!!
I had ribs and baked beans,. I must say that the Smoky Mountain baked beans were the best beans I have ever eaten in my life of 66 years!!
