Calhoun's in Pigeon Forge

Absolute joke of restaurant. Horrible service, calling the wait staff rude and unprofessional doesn’t even begin to describe this monstrosity of an establishment. Hopefully this review will keep ANY future customers from giving this dumpster fire any more business.

Two words. Burnt Ends. Perfection!

The service was fast and the waiter was nice. The food was horrible. It was so bad that we couldn’t eat some of it. I would not recommend coming here.

Great food! It was hot!

Great food and service. They put us in a side room where there were a couple larger sized parties. It was almost too cold back there to enjoy the meal. Other than the cold, it was great!

We had a great experience after driving around for an hour on Thanksgiving, we finally decided to give them a try as places were closed or had long waits. We walked in and were seated and served within 15 minutes of ordering. Our waiter was great and the food tasted great too. We will return on our next trip.

Hands down, one of THE BEST restaurants in Pigeon Forge! This is a must visit for my family and I EVERY time we vacation in Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg. Food is ALWAYS DELICIOUS and service is ALWAYS on point! Highly recommend! There is one in Gatlinburg but it is not as good as this one.

While nice but dark it was festive. Went early November. Food below average. Had a steak with some kind of sauce that really wasn’t interesting at all. Meanwhile server did her best but we think had too many tables so service was slow.

Good ribs as always great service....dont miss out on potato skins

I was there Friday the 15th and I got food poisoning. I looked at other reviews. Everything looks fine, but I did get sick . after googling stomach flu versus food poisoning the difference was feeling sick within hours of eating so from what I understand it was food poisoning. I ordered the salad with the chicken strips.

Calhoun's was a breath of fresh air! After a disappointing trip due to too many tourist trap feels, this place stood out with delicious mixed drinks and fantastic food. It really turned our trip around… the atmosphere was very good. we have no complaints and definitely will be back in the future!

We ate here on Veterans’ Day and, first off, the way the treat veterans needs to be applauded. They gave every veteran a free meal. The options included steak! My veteran dad was touched. The food overall was delicious. The bread assortment was an unexpected surprise. The ribs were tender and had no fat on them. The cooked apples reminded me so much of my grandma’s. We also got the fried green tomatoes as an appetizer and the dipping sauce was so different—more a mustard base than an aioli. Our waitress was attentive and went above and beyond. The atmosphere was lovely. We will be back!
