Calhoun's - Best Ribs in America!
Is it possible to resist our Hickory Smoked Barbecue or our ribs
awarded "Best in America"? Probably not, but then again, there are a
lot of other temptations on the Calhoun's menu.
In 1983, the first Calhoun's, a big barn-like structure, opened in
West Knoxville as a tribute to the agricultural roots and great
barbecue traditions of Eastern Tennessee. Within a year of its
opening, the restaurant's signature hickory smoked baby-back ribs
won the title of "Best Ribs in America" at the prestigious National
Rib Cook-Off. It was clear a tradition of greatness had been born.
From the savory starter of Buffalo Wings or Fried Green Tomatoes, to the enticements of such favorites as our House "Ale Steak", Southern-fried Catfish or Rotisserie Chicken, to the sweet send-off of freshly made seasonal Key Lime Pie, we guarantee your tastebuds will enjoy their trip to Tennessee. We also feature sumptuous salads, sandwiches & burgers. And have we mentioned our award winning hand-crafted micro-brewed beers prepared by our very own brewmaster? What should you choose? Hard to say. You just better count on coming back.
Today, Calhoun's boasts nine full service Tennessee locations, each uniquely and stylishly designed, and all boasting the contemporary interpretations of regional food favorites that have made us famous. In the 26-plus years that we have operated and grown, we have attempted to pour our passion for great food, atmosphere and hospitality into every dining occasion in our restaurants. We are proud to be the Taste of Tennessee.
