We always enjoy eating at this Calhoun's location on gameday weekends. It is located close to shopping that our family enjoys in the Turkey Creek area.

I had the Prime rib sandwich. It was delicious. It was cooked perfectly medium rare, tender, and very tasty. The spinach Maria is always good and the service was very good and friendly.
