Friendly service. Dining room and lounge/bar area available. We sat in the lounge area. I had the lemon shrimp special – very good. My husband had the pulled pork BBQ sandwich, and he said it was good. The BBQ sauce they make is well balanced in flavor.

Nice place with great views of the lake. Very good service. Pork bbq sandwich was moist. Tried their sauce for some flavor & it was quite good. My wife’s shrimp skewers were excellent.

Calhoun’s – A Rainy-Day Win with Killer Views and Food
Even with a downpour, Calhoun’s delivered a five-star experience. We had to skip the outdoor seating (those waterfront views are incredible) and sat inside—but the service and vibe were just as great.
Started off with the fried pickles and didn’t even have time for a photo—absolutely delicious and gone in seconds. The wet wings? Perfectly cooked, saucy, and packed with flavor.
Service was friendly and fast, and even with the weather, it still felt like a perfect lakeside meal. Highly recommend—rain or shine, Calhoun’s hits the spot.

They let us in before opening to get out of the weather. The hickory smoked prime rib sandwich was outstanding. Never put it down. Still looking at pictures of it.

We had a wonderful late Sunday lunch. Our server was wonderfully attentive without being over the top. Hubby had a burger and fries and he raved about being the best he’s eaten a a while. A smokey flavor without being over powering. I had the half chicken. It was perfection. Also I have to eat GF and items are marked on the menu and the server was very knowledgeable and steered me in the right direction regarding BBQ sauces and salad toppings. Overall I’d give this dining experience a 10 out of 10.

So, we went on a road trip from Florida to Tennessee during Hurricane Helene. We were looking for a cozy place with good food, and this place totally delivered. The staff was super friendly, especially the hostesses. They gave us a great table with a beautiful view. Our waiter, Robbie, was awesome and took care of everything we needed. Even the manager, Kyle, came over to introduce himself since we heard about the restaurant from some locals. He assured us that if we needed anything, he’d be there for us.
The food was incredible! I had the steak and shrimp, and the steak just melted in my mouth. It was seriously the best steak I’ve ever had. The whole experience was amazing, and we’ll definitely be going back to Calhoun’s the next time we’re in Tennessee. There are a bunch of locations in the area, but the one in Oak Range has a gorgeous view of the lake.

Firstly, they didn’t served us breads as a starter, but they served other customers it. Secondly, they served us plain potato as a side while the other customers’ potato was with different topping. Next, the steak we order was supposed to be Medium, but they gave us well done. I might guess that they know about it, but why won’t they tell us about the steak if they mess up. Overall, the foods are good, but I think they should improve their customer service.

Overall, fun place with a neat location on the water. Sitting outside during good weather is a must and the service here met my expectations. I got the ale steak with a baked potato, a house salad, and a fresh squeezed lemonade. Pretty sure they used sparkling water or carbonated water as it had kind of a bubbly texture to it. Interesting take on a fresh tasting lemonade that I certainly enjoyed. The sirloin was just OK but the bread, baked potato and salad were on point and also exceeded my expectations. I would recommend for the location for the scenery alone, but the food certainly pairs well with a nice evening on the water.

Staff was friendly, accommodating, attentive. Food was mediocre. Ribs were dry and fry portions small. Main issue was the condition of the patio seating. Spiderwebs everywhere, sticky dirty chairs and table settings, a simple sweep of dead bugs and debris would have gone a long way.
