Our food was excellent! Both of us had the ribs. Food was fresh and well prepared. Our Server Sali from Romania was very attentive and never let us run out of anything. He's a great asset to your restaurant. I have zero complaints. The staff and food was great. Well done staff and management of Calhoun's.

We always eat here once we get to PF. We love the ambience. We also have been lucky enough to get by fireplace for last 3 years when we are able to go. Waiter was excellent, food was good. Good experience
