Calhoun’s Bearden is located at 6515 Kingston Pike, very close to I-40/I-75 (Papermill Road Exit) in West Knoxville. This is the home of our custom-built, steam-heated microbrewery where we handcraft specialty beers to the taste of Tennesseans. The brewery’s copper kettles can easily be seen from most seating in this contemporary atmosphere. Calhoun's has become a place where friends and family gather to celebrate what’s good in their lives while they sample some of Tennessee’s best BBQ, ribs, steak, and sandwiches. So come on down and experience the best hospitality and BBQ around.

    We went after a UT game, so expected it to be busy. Our table was sticky. Our waitress was doing her best, but appetizers came out without plates. Took a long time for drinks from the bar. The floor was dirty. Our steak was cooked properly, but wasn’t warm. Our burger was ordered medium rare, but came out well done. We frequent Knoxville, as we have a student there. This was our first time at Calhoun’s and I don’t think we would go back.

    One word… Disappointing! Pork plate was cold and mealy, ribs were cold, Mac n cheese had no flavor. Brisket was good, but not great. Would recommend looking at other options.

    Not impressed at all with Calhoun's. Not sure what has happened with this restaurant but it has gone down hill over time. Feels like a sports bar instead of a nice sit down restaurant. Employees were dressed way over board for Halloween and the atmosphere was unprofessional. Food was just so so for the price point. Very disappointed. Probably won't return to a Calhoun's for a while.

    We did a 3:45 reservation, requesting bar room seating. When we arrived, we were taken to a booth, in the bar area, with very limited views of the televisions. The area, at that time, was not busy. Many tables were needing to be cleaned. We requested better seating and waited while a table was cleaned. Very strange for this to be a football afternoon Saturday with many people waiting to be seated before heading to the stadium, as we were. Food was good, as usual, but I miss the generous house salad that was served just months ago.

    A must whenever we visit Knoxville. Started off with a delicious complimentary bread basket. Rocky Top Tater skins were flavorful, the ribs were smoky and tender, plus the sides were all delicious.
