Calhoun's on the River

We had the best experience dining here! The service was attentive and warm. I started off with the freshly squeezed grapefruit juice that was refreshing and delicious followed by fried pickles which had a crunchy batter crust outside and were juicy on the inside. The baby back ribs were excellent and the pulled pork was so good. The chicken wings had great seasoning & were delicious too

This place was phenomenal. The pulled pork nachos are a must! My husband ordered the ribs and they were amazing, soft, fall off the bone meat. I ordered the brisket platter which had brisket, chicken tenders and pulled pork… DELICIOUS. I would come back here on my next visit and definitely recommend if you’re in the area. Also, their deck is pet friendly. 10/10.

Beautiful view of the bridges that span the river. Server was very attentive and the food was great. Had the triple combo which includes tasty ribs, pulled pork that was tender and juicy and fried chicken fingers that were very meaty inside and came with a tangy mustard dipping sauce and their own BBQ sauce which I'm sure was incorporated into the delicious beans. Dog friendly, too! If we had known, we would have brought them along....next time!

We stopped here for drinks and appetizers before boarding a river boat cruise. We sat on the deck overlooking the river. There was a slight drizzle but we stayed dry. We had a party of 10 and our server was attentive and friendly. We ordered wings, soft pretzels and loaded potato skins. All were good but the potato skins with bbq pork on them were amazing! Kid-friendliness: Kids meals available Parking: Lot is shared with River boat patrons

Beautiful restaurant, atmosphere and view. Sweet server, but I didn't receive my salad until I asked, and that was after our entrees came. The server disappeared forever, and another server had to bring us utensils after our food came. The ribs were impossible to even get the meat off of. The best parts were my son's wings, as well as my green beans, which were delicious.

My experience here was great! The portions were large and not too expensive for what you got. We sat on the deck overlooking the river and it was a lovely view. The heaters on the deck were on and it’s covered so the chilly rain wasn’t felt. The wings were some of the best I’ve had and the fish and chips were good! The fish was beer battered so the flavor was slightly different. I highly recommend the ribs as well, they were tender and buttery and delicious! One thing to note is that the menus for the deck versus the dining room are different, the deck has an abbreviated menu.

Had a banquet style meal with my whole family group. About 19 people in total. The staff said it was something they had just started. But it went off with hardly a hiccup! We did the ribs pulled pork and chicken tendies. The tendies were mid but everything else was delicious! And the craft beers were great too!!! Parking: Not a lot of parking spots. But you can park your boat on the dock!!

Food was Great our server was over worked but amazing! Love the view and atmosphere!! My first time in Knoxville was great!!Food: 5/5

Had high expectations for this place and left slightly disappointed. Somehow my $29 prime rib ended up being closer to $40 because I was served a 16oz cut vs 14oz along with a salad - that was supposed to be included. Staff was super friendly. The prime rib itself was just bland.Food: 3/5

Visiting the area for work. Thought it would be a nice place to have supper. Atmosphere was pleasant, but the burnt ends wrapped in bacon came out sooooo very salty. And the French fries were limp at best, disappointed for that.Food: 2/5
