Our 4 year old granddaughter asked to go out to lunch at Calhoun's! We were happy to oblige her. Great lunch in a cozy atmosphere on a Winter day. It's our favorite place.

Solid river side dining experience! The staff is super friendly, the atmosphere is laid back, and the food is good. What more can you ask for? Sit outside, its the best view and you might some wildlife.

I went with a party of 4. The food is always good. I had the 10 oz sirloin and spinach Maria best side on the menu in my opinion. Steak was perfectly cooked. Beautiful day on the back deck outside.

Waitress was: Peyton. She was FANTASTIC!!!! My Fiance got fish and chips and then ge wasnt in the mood for fish. He said he would order something else next time. No fault of Calhouns’. Me: Chicken Tender Salad—-it. Was. Amazing. Probably the best CTS ive ever had. Four hand breaded chicken tenders, hand breaded onion rings, fresh salad with tomatoes, boiled eggs, BACON....with a side of garlic rolls. WE WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK! Thank you Calhouns’ for a great dinner date.

Always LOVE the lakeside dining experience here at Calhoun's. The decor with all the windows and outdoor sitting areas where you may enjoy the lakeside views and dining makes one of the best dining atmospheres you may experience anywhere. The staff is always friendly and helpful about making suggestions from the wide variety of options on the menu. The food is delicious and my favorite like today is the BBQ chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries. I've eaten at a lot of restaurants throughout eastern Tennessee. The sweet potato fries with cinnamon sauce is the best here. I live in Athens but stop by Calhoun's about once a month for lunch while work keeps me on the road in east Tennessee. I highly recommend Calhoun's for great tasting food, high quality service and a wonderful and relaxing atmosphere.

Great local bbq, ribs, salads, chicken and steaks. Can’t beat the waterfront location and the service is always good.

Our first time in to Calhoun’s, and I have to say we were impressed. My Salmon with rice was beyond good. My wife’s steak with fried cabbage was fantastic as well. While we ate dinner we had a nice view of the water too. The place is pretty big and has plenty of seating.

Everything I've had here has been delicious. All the way down to the sides, the beans had bits of brisket. Some of the veggies had some special cheese on them. BBQ is the way to go, but there are so many ways to have it since it's all over the menu. The atmosphere is really nice and sets this location apart from the others. Sitting on the deck on a cool evening makes for a great atmosphere. Will go out of my way to visit here again in my future travels.
