    We’ve eaten at Calhoun’s many times over the years in Gatlinburg but never been to the pigeon forge location. Always been a good experience, never had a bad meal. I’ve been going there something like 25 years now. Almost all bbq is good and different restaurants have different flavors.

    We've tried the Calhoun's in Gatlinburg and found the same thing. Not bad, not great, but there are some great restaurants in the area and it's just tough to justify going to Calhoun's when there are better options. Just our opinion.

    We ate at the Calhouns in Gatlinburg and we were disappointed. We did not know the history of them winning a championship rib cook off so we did not understand why they claimed to have the best ribs in America. In our experience they are no where near close to having the best ribs in America today.
    Back to your review it was spot on. No one wants to give a review that sounds negative but it is a real thing.
    Thank you for your honesty.
