    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!!!

    Read a lot of reviews about how great the ribs are here. Both of us got them. They were not great. Very dry, seemed overcooked and is if they sat under a heat lamp for hours. We did get the pork nachos appetizer which were delicious.
