I was really excited to try this place but it ended up being very disappointing. The food was good, nothing spectacular though. The service was terrible. It took about 15 minutes for her to even acknowledge us and take our drink order. We had to ask her to place an order for an appetizer. She brought our drinks and it was another 20 minutes before she came back to take our order.
Our waiter, Jai, at the Pigeon Forge location was the best. He was polite, attentive and extremely efficient. When we arrived on a very cold, TN afternoon, he noticed us linger by the fireplace and immediately served a cup of hot coffee. Please know that he is an asset to your business.
We have been many times over the years and the Calhoun's in Lenoir City seems to get consistently worse. The managers seem quite incompetent and our burgers are cooked incorrectly 100% of the time. The managers either don't care, or have no ability to manage their staff. I keep hoping they will find people that know what they are doing.

Calhoun's offers a lively atmosphere with delicious food and attentive staff. The restaurant has a warm, classic rock-filled ambiance. The brisket is a popular choice, and the lemonade is highly recommended. Parking is convenient with ample spaces available. Customers consistently praise the quality of the meals, including the biscuits, garlic rolls, and the Trio dish. The service is generally excellent, though there have been some instances of short-staffing. The smokehouse atmosphere and the Smokey Mountain Brewery Red pair well with the barbecue offerings. Customers can also enjoy a variety of tasty sides, such as fries, tots, onion rings, or garlic rolls, which can be complemented by the flavorful kickback sauce. The bar staff, particularly Alex, is knowledgeable and friendly, making for an enjoyable dining experience.
