    Smoke-A-Holics Platter
    Stephanie G.

    We stopped in for lunch and had a great experience. There are both tables and booths, and the atmosphere was comfortable. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. We split the platter, which was a generous portion -- plenty of food with leftovers to take home! Everything tasted good, though I wasn't a big fan of the cheesecake since it had a bit of a frozen taste. There's plenty of parking, and the location is convenient, just near downtown Calhoun.

    The food and service is 100 plus stars got to check them out Calhoun or Ringgold ga

    The other half of my sandwich.  1 side filled me up and the rest I took home with me. Those fried green tomatoes were the bomb.

    The food was great. I had The Man of Smoke sandwich with fried green tomatoes and collard greens. The brisket was tender and flavorful. The tomatoes were crunchy and paired well with the ranch. Each of the 3 BBQ sauces was tasty too! My son had the BBQ sandwich with baked beans and macaroni and cheese. All the sides we had were good, but especially the mac-n-cheese! I had a half sweet/unsweet tea with lemon and it was perfect! One person at a time in the restroom, but it was clean. There was plenty of seating and it was "seat yourself". They have a screened-in front porch with bus seats and tables that would be good to sit at during nice weather. Great food, friendly staff and overall great BBQ joint!

    As always the food was outstanding. The Brunswick stew was watered down and didn't have a lot of flavor. But plenty of food.

    Food was really good. They are always busy so don't be dissapointed if you don't get served very quickly. It's worth the wait.

    On this sunny Tuesday I arrived about 5:30PM to find half the parking lot blocked off and reserved…read morefor bikers and live music setting up on the outside patio for an obviously planned gathering. I sat inside where there was table, bar, and highboy seating. I ordered the Smoked & Fried Wings buffalo, with upcharge for flats/drums and an extra sauce (one Ranch and one Bleu Cheese). And the Shorty Johnson, which is a pair of deep fried back-wrapped beef dogs with a side of fries. The wings were scrawny without much meat. But the flavors were great and the smokiness came through. And the buffalo seasoning was nice and the flats were tender. The Blue cheese dipping sauce was chunky and had a good flavor. The Ranch dipping sauce was boring and did not have the punchy flavor of a hand made dressing. The carrot and celery were adequate. The hot dog was properly cooked and drained and the bacon wrapping had a good texture. But there was no bacon flavor, although the flavor of the dog itself was good. The bun was dry and flavorless. The side of fries were cooked perfectly and nicely seasoned and a good portion. Service was barely adequate. They delivered the wings but did not provide any napkins and I had to wait for them to pass by and get their attention to request them. My drink refill was also a bit slow in coming.

    After church on Sunday six of us came by to try this Mom and Pop restaurant. If you read any of my…read morereviews you know I like to go to locally owned restaurants where the owner is there and has a skin in the game. So's no different here. There's a couple that owns it or their heart and soul into this restaurant. Most of us opted for the Sunday lunch, chicken and waffles. The tenders were hand breaded very tasty. Good crunch. I really enjoyed the tenders. The hot honey sauce I had on the side and it was excellent. I also got some regular syrup for my waffle which was very good. The six of us four of us got the chicken waffles. Also the french fries were very good. So if you're coming visiting the area, stop by .? Come out and support these people. We will.

    Ordered curbside to go order. Got there early with no recognition from the restaurant. Waited…read moreuntil 10 minutes past the time the app indicated the food would be ready. Looked at the confirmation e-mail and realized the problem with the delay was my fault as I was supposed to call the restaurant upon arrival. Call was answered by a recording with instructions to press certain keys based upon whether I wanted the hours of operation, etc. None of the options were for curbside pickup. The last option was to press a button for any other question. Answered on the second or third ring by a waitress who brought my food out within the next 3 to 4 minutes. Got the food home and found my error cost the food temperature...the NY Strip steak was still warm but rather fatty. The side of steamed broccoli meager and ice cold. The 3 stars are due to the restaurants inability to set up an IVR system without mention of a service I imagine is used frequently by their patrons. The Outback curbside process is much more patron friendly. They look for the cars as they drive up and park in the curbside spots...no reason to call the restaurant. For a restaurant that had one or two other patrons at the time I parked, one would think they'd pay more attention to the curbside-parked cars, especially when they know they've got an order waiting for pick-up. The other two reasons for the 3 stars is the quality of the food and inaccuracy of my order. Of course, I did not give consideration to the food temperature because that appeared to by my fault. I was only able to eat about 1/2 of the steak because the other 1/2 was all fat. I ordered the grilled mushrooms as a "steak topper" but there were not mushrooms in the bag or plastic packaging. The chain needs to ensure their individual restaurants pay attention to the quality of the product they're putting out. Perhaps a quick glance would allow them to see a particular steak should not be served. Double checking the accuracy of the order should also be a basic part of their service. Oh, by the way, I ordered my steak medium. It was delivered to me exactly as requested. They get kudos for this as other restaurants don't seem to know what medium means. Will I go back? I'm definitely not going to write them off over one visit. That just wouldn't be fair.

    OMG! I had heard about Buccees but could not fathom what I just visited. My first time visiting a…read moreBuccees ever! My friend gave me an orientation of the place. I checked out the desserts, brisket sandwiches and all of the beef jerky. I then went to the Buccees shot glasses. Of course, I took pictures of the Buccees truck along the way. The staff was friendly and able to help me find what I was looking for. My friends and I shopped and ate for two hours! Since there isn't a place to eat, we ate inside my friend's car. The bathrooms are clean with no wait time. I enjoyed looking at the artwork when I entered the bathroom. I noticed there were other products that looked like it belonged to a Hallmark store and fishing store. Buccees has whatever you need and more. The brisket was delicious and I loved the sauce. The sandwich was just enough for me. My friends and I had a fantastic time perusing Buccees and now I know why people are obsessed.

    I'd heard so much about Buc-ee's over the years, but this was my first time ever stopping at one. I…read morecan honestly say the hype about the size is true! It's so much more than a gas station, it's like a giant convenience store, grocery store, and gift shop all in one. They sell just about everything, and it's fun just walking around to see what you'll find. While we were there, a woman realized her son was missing, and it was scary to witness. Thankfully, the Buc-ee's staff immediately jumped into action to help, and after several minutes, he was found safe. It was nice to see how quickly everyone responded. I had always heard people rave about the jerky, so I was excited to try it. Unfortunately, I was really disappointed. The jerky I bought tasted spoiled and had an unpleasant flavor. Considering how much it cost, it definitely wasn't worth the money for me. My son really wanted one of the Buc-ee's fleece throw blankets, so we picked one up for about $15, and he loves it. My husband and the kids also ordered the brisket sandwiches, and they all thought they were really good. I tried a bite, but it just wasn't my favorite. Buc-ee's is definitely worth visiting at least once. The atmosphere is impressive, the store is huge, and there's an incredible selection of food, snacks, gifts, and souvenirs. I just wish my experience with the jerky had been better because I left feeling disappointed that it didn't satisfy the craving I'd been looking forward to.
