   It was bad. I ordered a 16oz rare prime rib. It came quite well done. I asked if could be replaced and was told “this is as rare as they get”.

   Thanksgiving - it was nice to have a choice between a traditional meal or order from the menu.

   Really great service, even on the busy night before Thanksgiving. The restaurant happily accommodated some special dietary needs in our group and the food was quick to arrive - important when you have kids eating with you. Would definitely recommend making a reservation- we had one and were seated within minutes of arrival while walk-ins waited over an hour for a table.

   It’s thanksgiving week so I totally understand that they’d be slammed. But we made a reservation at 6:30 and thankfully got our table on time. We ordered an appetizer and waited about 40 minutes for that to come out, then our food came out 30 minutes after that so we waited a long time for our food. Our waitress was nice and kept saying she’d check on the food but I don’t think she actually did because when we received the food, both of our meals were cold. We sent them back and they brought out “new food” 10 minutes later. That food was still pretty lukewarm. The brisket was super dry, the shrimp was tough and the pulled pork was cold. I don’t understand how the second time it still wasn’t hot. We usually never send anything back but after waiting over an hour for food that came out cold we had to. Plus it’s not the cheapest place. Very disappointed, I was super excited to go and I expected it to be amazing barbecue but I was incorrect. The barbecue sauce is “famous” but that wasn’t very good either. I don’t know if it always tasted like that or if it’s because the bottle says refrigerate after opening and they leave them on the tables all day every day. I almost ordered the baked beans and the waitress said they weren’t very good at all and that most people really don’t like them. I’m glad she saved me from that. Overall definitely disappointed to have to pay full price for a meal like that.

   We usually love Calhoun’s in Gatlinburg, but had a bad experience on this visit. We waited over an hour for our food, and when we finally received it, it was cooked incorrectly. While the server and manager quickly took care of this issue, the overall experience was not what we have come to expect from Calhoun’s.

    When available try the Hickory Roasted Prime Rib. I have eaten prime rib in countless restaurants. Hands down theirs is the absolute best I have ever had. Mine was perfectly cooked as recommended by Kristi. Great service even on a very busy Friday Night. Not only did she take excellent care of us. She assisted the bartender when she observed his orders were stacking up, I would definitely recommend this place to anyone.

    The service was amazing. We eat here a couple of times a year ans love. This time the reason I scored 3 stars instead of 4 or 5 was the catfish. Which is our parents favorite here in Gatlinburg. This time it was over cooked and more breading than fish. We hope to be back and hope the catfish is better next time. We alway love the pork chops

    Very good BBQ. We had pork plate and ribs - both were excellent in taste, but the pork plate was delivered a little cold. That was about the only drawback. Fried green tomatoes are also excellent. Good drinks (beer, cocktails). Service was good, though delivered bill almost with the entrees. While we were told "no rush", the bill being delivered so quickly kind of implies "hurry up"!

    Service was horrible. Waitress was rude. Took approximately 15 minutes for the Waitress to approach our table to take our drink order. She walked by us half a dozen time , never even acknowledging we were there. once she finally came to our table we ordered drink, appetizer and entree order. We quickly got our drink and a very good hot appetizer. We were hopeful the rest of the service would be ok. We waited 45 minutes before we asked her about our entree. Other diners seated after us had completed their meals and were leaving or had left. When we finally got our meal, mine was wrong. It was mediocre at best. The manager comped my meal, without us requesting it to be comped. When the bill came they had overcharge my husband's meal. Don't waste your time eating here.

    The table was fine. Atmosphere was great. However once the waitress left us. The food runner brought the food and we didn't see her for another 20 minutes. Luckily the water pitcher was right behind us

    Been here before and it t was great, this time not so much. Service was very poor. Food came out after obviously having sat for a while and at a tepid temperature. It took multiple requests to get basic items, like silverware.

    A very nice building with very nice people. My girlfriend and I had a 9p reservation and arrived at 8:50p. We were seated immediately however it took until 9:30p until our waitress spoke to us, mind the restaurant wasn’t busy. We ordered and it took until 10p to get our food. By the time we got it neither of us were very hungry as we were irritated by the experience. My girlfriends food was also cold when we got it as well. The food was overall mediocre for the price. I would say it’s a toss up to dine here.

    Calhoun’s did great job with celiac disease, providing great gluten free choices. Our server, Mario was very knowledgeable on how the restaurant handled the allergy. The manager came to the table and talked to us on how they could safely cook our food. The food was amazing and the customer service was even better.

    We had the brisket & pork both very good & both served without BBQ sauce over them. You get to put it on yourself but they only have their brand of BBQ sauce which is VERY vinegary no other choice. I added ketchup to sweeten it up & take out the sour taste. I'd go back but I'd bring some different BBQ sauce.
