    Met by friendly hostess and had a great server. Lots on drink and food menu. Enjoyed our tequila old fashion immensely and had a very tasty large southern fried chicken salad. Had to take half home as plentiful! Spouse chicken was good but said it was just on par.

    Appreciated that they took our reservation as it was pretty busy. Our server was very nice and did a great job. Noise level was hight and bar service was a little slow but since it was busy we were patient. Overall a good experience.

    Always great food at Calhoun's and we really like the Calhoun's Oak Ridge. The view by the lake is great. Service is always good. We had the prime rib today and it was perfectly cooked. My husband really enjoyed the key lime pie.

    We were on a road trip through the area and found Calhoun's on Opentable. We were not disappointed and enjoyed the views and a lovely lunch. The barbecue chicken salad was awesome and packed with goodies. My husband enjoyed the chicken burger and we shared a pretzel and beer cheese. Staff was awesome super friendly and always there to refill our beverages.
