Right when you walk in, you can just tell that their burgers are amazing. Our server was very nice. And the interior is absolutely spotless

I visited on a sunny Tuesday evening just after 5PM and was immediately seated. The dining room is considerably larger than their Ringgold location and they have both tables and booths. A waitress was quick to greet me and took both my drink and food order. Both arrived in a timely manner. I had the Downtown BLT (and they accommodated my request to substitute the Kaiser bun with the croissant) with a side of fries. The sandwich ingredients were quality, but (and this is just my personal taste), they didn't synergize the way I expected. The fried green tomatoes had an excellent coating and perfectly cooked and the bacon was nice and crispy, I liked the sauce on they used, and the croissant was nice and soft. The fries were a bit under cooked and limp and dense instead of light and crispy. I also had the Chilly Willy Dog and the footlong was tasty except for the bun which was dry. read more

My wife and I enjoy eating here a lot. The food is very good, and the service is good too. We recommend you try it and see for yourself

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. read more

Great dishes. Even salads, who wouñd though tha a BBQ qould have good salads. Great vibes and workers are very nice

The BBQ is pretty good. I forgot what the plate is called, but I got the tater tots topped with BBQ toppings. I would definitely recommend getting that plate. Good experience. Give this place a try. read more

12/2025 dining room was going through construction, so ambiance is lacking -- it looks like the goal is a very casual utilitarian barn (not farmhouse) feel -- poured concrete floors and minimal decor. Service and food quality made up for it! Very nice staff. Decent quality of food. Prices are a little bit high for all food being served on a tray. But I felt comfortable and welcome for being a first-time customer. Brisket very good. Ruben sandwich EXCELLENT. Chicken strawberry salad good. Macaroni and cheese-- PERFECT! Onion rings good. Creamed corn GREAT! read more

Love Thatcher's! So much more than just your typical BBQ! My favorite is the Chicky Doo Bucket....smoked chicken, served over extra crispy tater tots. It has lots of cheese on it and ranch dressing. I add BBQ sauce. The salads are also delicious! Great service and always with a smile. It can get crowded quickly as it is a local favorite! read more

Service and restaurant cleanliness were good, Food was NOT! Disappointing BBQ pork was very dry, Brunswick stew was good but soupy. Smoked Navy beans and Loaded potatoes salad was very good. And they got the yummy ice, lol. read more

Stumbled on this place on a road trip and what a delightful hole in the wall. The service was great but more importantly the food was one of the best bbq places I have ate. As a brisket enthusiast I would highly recommend ordering anything brisket. It will not disappoint along with sides are compliment the entree because of their wonderful flavor. read more

Thatchers in Calhoun never has disappointed us, both dining in or take out. The food has always been great and plenty to eat. Have always gotten a seat but they are always packed. read more

Went for weekday dinner at about 6pm and was seated promptly. Very comfortable atmosphere with a variety of seating options. Menu was extensive but tons of reasonably priced options. Loved the combo plate with 3 sides. We will be back. read more

It's okay. I first ate at Thatcher's a few years ago and discovered their Philly Cheesesteak. Since I had lived just north of Philadelphia for almost 30 years, I love a good cheesesteak. Thatcher's was as close to a genuine Philly as I have found here in the Resaca area. Unfortunately, they took it off the menu. I hadn't gone back until today. In the meantime, I ate at Dubb's High on the Hog. Today, I ordered the half-rack ribs with coleslaw, tots and baked beans. The beans and tots were good. The coleslaw was minced cabbage (everyone knows it should be shredded) and it was tasteless. The ribs were dry and very thin. At Dubb's, the ribs are thick and juicy (the best around). The prices at Thatcher's are comparable to the area. The service at Thatchers is excellent, which is why I gave them 3 stars instead of 2. If you want the best BBQ in the area, go to Dubb's. read more

Have you ever seen "Christmas Vacation"? Do you remember the scene at the dinner table when the Griswall family was trying to eat turkey? My wife brought me home a 1/2 rack of St.Louis Ribs tonight after she ate at Thatchers today with my Daughter-in-Law. I guess they were happy with the service and food but when I opened the Ribs that my wonderful wife brought home to me, and started to eat, I started laughing as they remembered what the "Griswall" family must have felt trying to eat the "over-cooked turkey". The ribs were the "WORST" Ribs I have ever had. I am shocked that this well known restaurant would allow these 1. over-cooked, 2. Well done, 3. Non eatable Ribs to leave their restaurant. What a shame. Beware Restaurant Goer. If you have never seen "Christmas Vacation", please watch and when the segment showing the Griswall family eating turkey arrives, you will know what I experienced. HAVE A GREAT DAY! read more

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

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! read more

Great tasting BBQ and very friendly service. Lots to choose from on the menu! There was plenty of seating without feeling too crowded.

This is some serious good bbq. No knife needed as the brisket is fork tender and amazing cooked and flavored. Honorable mention also goes to their Collard Greens. This is how I would cook mine (if I cooked greens). The greens aren't stewed to death and they have the right smokiness and just that perfect level of heat. My husband also loved the Baked Beans and the Mac N Cheese. Do not leave without ordering the Banana Pudding to go. Cuz let's be honest you're going to be so full you won't even look at the deserts. But you'd be doing yourself a disservice if you don't grab some of this top notch amazing desert for later. Please for all that is holy open another location farther south. This is worth traveling too but if it was closer we would come more often. read more

Excellent food and service! The fried dill pickle spears are a must! The pulled pork was amazing!

We love Thatchers! We've been here tons of times. From the protein to the sides and whoaaaa the deserts-amazing food! Service is always amazing and there's never been along wait. The prices are a bit high-but they really deliver quality food. We love the decor and find some inspiration every time we are there. They have been super creative with their light fixtures and more. You'll never be disappointed by stopping by. Love love!! read more

Great all the way around from the sweet tea to the smoked pork. Fried pickles were hot and tasty. Highly recommend this place!!! read more

We had a decent trip to Thatcher's for the first time. New to the area, we had people tell us about this place. Honestly it was ok. I think our expectations were so high from what people told us that we were a little disappointed with the quality of the food. We had have great wait staff who took care of any issues and replaced some of the food that we felt was too cold. We really appreciate it. They have amazing crushed ice.

The food here is great but the service and kitchen operations really bring it down. We waited over an hour and a half last night for our meal and watched almost everyone in the restaurant do the same. The kitchen was focused completely on takeout orders rather than patrons waiting at tables. Our server only came to check on us twice during the wait, leaving us with empty drinks. When our food was finally ready, he gave it to the table behind us and they were so ready to leave they just ate it, leaving us waiting another 15 minutes for the kitchen to remake ours for us. Absolutely ridiculous service and operations. read more

Today's dinner was a disappointment all the food that we got was not hot! It was lukewarm at best. The french fries were cold. We ordered more and it took 15 minutes to get some hot fries. The Mac and cheese,green beans,baked beans were not good at all! The brisket and ribs were good. So much for a good birthday dinner! read more

Huge Menu, Great Quality, Great service. The sweet potato tots were the perfect combo of sweet and salty. Super cheese Mac and cheese complimented the bbq pulled pork well. read more

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.

I drove here for dinner from Detroit today, literally, lol! We are on a one day, 18 hour drive to Tampa for family reasons and I managed to find a Thatcher's en route. (We ate at a different Thatcher's last year in similar circumstances and loved it) The girls at his location are just so sweet. One had to call me to drop the news that banana pudding was not available, , but she was so pleasant about it that I took the pumpkin pudding instead My husband had the Porky Bucket (tots covered with pulled pork and cheeses) and I had the Cowgirl spud (topped with pulled chicken and cheeses) and I like to order extra bbq sauce in the side. (You'll want them because these are meals for 2 or 3 go rounds) And our two dogs are along for the ride so the best part is that they don't smother the tender meats too much.. they let you do that with the sauces, so you can taste the freshness and my dogs can share as well. We had a family meal in the parking lot and then back on the road!) Love Thatchers! Gotta drive through coming home next week! read more

A full parking lot and dining room are signs of a good restaurant! We split the combination BBQ platter with sides--mac and cheese, onion rings, baked beans, fried green tomatoes. Everything was delicious! We also got banana pudding for dessert, also very good. The wait staff was friendly and knowledgeable about menu recommendations. It's a little off the beaten path but worth it! read more

Always excellent service and food. The time I had a problem they fixed it immediately no questions. The aesthetic is really cool and while it's always busy it's not really loud. read more

I'll start by saying that our waiter did a good job; not her fault that the kitchen was so slow. The couple beside us came in 10-15 minutes after we got there and had their food 15-20 minutes before we did. They also ran out of silverware; I got a plastic fork and knife. I ordered the brisket which is usually good but tonight's was greasy and full of fat. I wont be going back for a while. read more

The meals are huge and delicious. Wait staff is very friendly and helpful. Recommend the Mac and cheese and the bbq.

Ooooohhh man let me tell you this place is amazing so flavorful and delicious cool ambience and great service nothing but love.
