    The menu claimed prime grade ribeye. The steak was cooked to order, but the steak was tough and chewy, not tender as expected from a prime cut of beef. The shrimp was overcooked, the baked potato was underbaked and barely any toppings to be considered “loaded”. Overall, pretty disappointed, but maybe should have expected that for a tourist town.

    Service was terrible and our food was okay, would have been better if it hadn’t sat and got cold before it was brought to the table. Best app bacon wrapped burnt ends! That was the best part of our meal.

    We had excellent service from the minute we walked into the door and our server was no exception. I ordered the Pork Chop which is what I always order when we dine at Calhouns in Lenoir City, Farragut and Alcoa. The chop is always marinated well and cooked perfectly. I also ordered a loaded baked potato which was a little on the cool side. I did not want to send it back so, just enjoyed it! My husband ordered the Prime Rib which was cooked to the right temperature but, very fatty. Overall, we love Calhouns and will go back again!!!
