The past three meals we have had have been disappointing. The food tastes like it's being made with lower quality ingredients. it is also overcooked. Spinach Maria was just sitting in tons of Grease. Baked beans were tasteless. I could go on but needless to say we are not going back. Three strikes.

Ordered 16.00 burger and it was bleeding when I got! Wish I could post a pic of it! The waitress new something was wrong and didn't want to stop and ask how our food was cause she knew I would complain! Didn't cause a seen at all and wouldn't had anyway. She finally came by to give us our bill and never asked how the food was and I told her then just for the record the burger is completely raw! She said oh I'm sorry would you like one to go? I said no thank you I didn't eat this one so I definitely would not eat another one like this! I will not go back for sure! I'll stick with longhorns steak house! Sorry I treated the waitress good but was very aggrevated because she didn't make it right the hour and 20 mins I was there

Great service at the bar. Cool place. I had high hopes after reading reviews. Chicken wings small and a bit dry. Ribs kind of average. Brisket was very good.

The bbq was very good although the French fries seemed to have been cooked last week. I wasn't offered a second beer or dessert, although the waitperson was pleasant enough and not very busy.

It was so loud in there and over stimulating for our child she could barely handle it. On top of that the server never came back to ask if we needed refills so apparently you only get one drink.
I ordered chicken and I think it was contaminated with pork or beef drippings because I became ill within a couple hours.
The food was kinda cold when we got it.
The other server that wasn’t ours was nice and understanding.

I love Calhouns and every time I go I have an awesome experience! My girlfriend and I went yesterday and our waiter’s name was Jaydon. He was very friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. Definitely made our time enjoyable!

It has been a while since we ha e been here and it will be a while before we go back. The food was ok but the service was horrible. It took 20+ minutes to get our pretzel appetizer. When the food finally came it took 5 minutes to flag someone down to get condiments. We had to find yet another person to get us to go containers and the bill.

It's a cool place to see. The atmosphere is like a chain BBQ restaurant. The food was all around decent. But to advertise as the best ribs in America is very far from the truth. I ordered the Trio only to have the ribs come out to our table of 12 extremely dry and overcooked to the point of jerky and/or leather. 5 other people at the table ordered the ribs and had the same experience. When the manager came to the table, although he was apologetic, the ribs should have been credited to the meal and removed from serving them the rest of the day.
The food at Calhoun's is always good. Jayden (not sure if I spelled his name right) was an awesome, very friendly, server.

I give up on Calhoun's. Different locations, different food, same mediocre experience. The truth is they're like any other chain restaurant where the food leaves a lot to be desired.
This time I ordered a well done burger which wasn't cooked thoroughly when it arrived. The chicken fingers were really good so I'll give them that.

Waiter was always on go even when asking about food…stop and listen… Was the best pork chop I’ve probably ever eaten. However, both of the sweet potatoes were undercooked and over half inedible… Told the server he made some remark about the cook and left and never offered to replace it with anything or do anything to make our meal good… Was my daughters first experience here and our first stop on a trip we were taking…was not a good experience … Could not find any place to review them at this restaurant; I.e., this review online… too expensive to not be good

Waitress was prompt and friendly. Food was NOT quality. Wife's spinach Maria was cold. And my fries had been sitting somewhere for awhile. Fries were forgotten originally and had to be reordered. But, when they came out they were cold. Tennessee/Arkansas game night and the place was dead. I guess they weren't too worried about customers they had. Also. No Veterans, AARP, or senior discount. NO Veterans discount means NO money from my household ANYMORE.
