Calhoun's is a chain in Tennessee and we have eaten at the one in Nashville. The one in Gatlinburg had excellent ambience with lots of lodge-style wood and a huge fireplace. A huge waterwheel adorns the main entrance in reference to the original Calhoun’s, which is on the Tennessee River in Knoxville (?).
The food was tasty and there is an appetizer that was yummy with cheese and bread for dipping -- nothing fancy here. Barbeque favorites abound, so relax and enjoy. Also they have their own microbrew beer, which was very tasty. Kids meals were typical, but served in a cardboard "convertible," which the kids liked.
