Calhoun's

We were in town and looking for BBQ. We came here specifically because of an article I read that mentioned this as the best BBQ in the area. The thing about articles---they contain subjective opinions just like reviews (so take this to heart or not, but we won't be back). Our visit started with poor customer service. The waitress either needs more training or should move on to a different profession. When the customer says "the lemonade doesn't contain any lemon" (perhaps it was mixed wrong???), the response maybe should be "I'm so sorry, can I remake it or get you something else? instead of arguing with the customer that the bartender mixes it and it's different all the time. My kids both ordered pink lemonade but all they got was sugar water. So she did not offer to replace it and the kids drank water. Anyway, the service was extremely poor, especially when we arrived at 5 pm and were the only ones in the dining area and her only table. Next, my margarita did not taste like it possessed any tequila, although I was charged for top shelf without telling me. Maybe they do add a shot but actually for the large glass they use they should consider two shots. Definitely not a $10 drink during happy hour no less. Third, the bread was so stale we couldn't eat it and the biscuits need a new recipe because all I tasted was salt. Fourth, the mashed potatoes tasted sour and unfortunately sent my nephew to the bathroom in a truck stop on the way home, which is not somewhere you want to spend any time. How do we know it was the mashed potatoes? He ate it first and refused to eat anything else. The pulled pork was grisly with little flavor. Finally, two stars only because two out of three of us had tender ribs. The coleslaw was good but the portion is very tiny and for the price of the meal, perhaps a tad more is warranted. I really wanted to like this place but unfortunately it wasn't meant to be.

I had the pork and a baked sweet potato. They were both very good. I like that they put the sauce on the table and not on your food so you can control the amount of sauce on your food. It was Sunday afternoon and it was not too crowded. We didn't have to wait at all.

The restaurant was busy when my friend and I went in, however, there was still plenty of available seating. The soft pretzels & beer cheese dip was very good, as well as my grilled chicken teriyaki with baked sweet potato. The tea was fresh …

This is a local chain that has a nice atmosphere and a broad menu selection. I had the Calhoun’s chicken and my wife had a salad. Both were very good, but the bread service was most remarkable. It includes a roll, corn muffin and biscuit. …
