Chuckwagon Restaurant

Good food, friendly staff, great Coca Cola museum, a little slow delivering food, but worth the wait. Unfortunately, some of the items are not always available, so prepare for no Mac and cheese! Overall what you would expect in Calhoun

This place was amazing… Like eating at Granny’s! My husband and I had the special for 9.95– a meat, three vegetables, roll or cornbread, cake, and beverage. The squash casserole and creamed corn were my favorites. My husband loved the slaw! We each enjoyed the turkey and dressing AND the chocolate cake.
We were heading home from Kentucky and this was the closest nonchain restaurant. We enjoy trying local places and quickly decided to take the chance. It was well worth the risk and we will visit again.

Wonderful people
Great food! Simple, tasty and fresh
Dont forget to check out their cool Coca Cola museum:)

I do NOT know what all you Unilocalers are talking about! This place is a joke! It might be fun to stop by for a laugh but it certainly does not have good quality food (other than the burgers). My son had all you can eat catfish and it was very salty. I had the chicken fried steak and it was uneatable. The gravy was a thick flour water bland concoction. The green beans were equally as gross. Overcooked and extremely salty. It took a very long time implying the food was cooked to order. The staff said they were out of several items on the menu. One redeeming quality was that the iced tea was remarkable.

My husband and I were staying at Wess/​Hilco (he drives a truck) and we had a friend who lived a half hour away that wanted to meet us for dinner. This was the closest restaurant with the best reviews so we decided to check it out.
We almost passed it. It’s kinda hidden away next to a motel very close to the I75 overpass at 41. Our friend’s ninja driving skills got us in just fine there at the last minute.
I had the country fried steak per the recommendation of Christi B below. Excellent decision. It was served with gravy, real mashed potatoes, green beans and a roll. Delicious. My food came out before my husband’s and our friend’s and my mister decided to start «taste testing» my food upon delivery. I thought we were about to fight over the fork!
My mister and our friend both ordered a cheeseburger with fries. Both guys thoroughly enjoyed their burgers. I snagged a bite of one (fair is fair, right?) and it was indeed tasty.
I had intentions of dessert but the servings were large enough that I barely finished my meal. Adding more food was simply out of the question.
The older guy that served our food (and cooked it to my knowledge) was laid back, friendly and quite humorous. He checked on us frequently and made sure our experience was pleasant. Great southern hospitality you would/​should expect here in the deep south.
Definitely a hole in the wall with an interesting atmosphere. A lot of Route 66 décor decorates the walls. There are both tables and booths. You choose your seat when you walk in. I will admit it looks a little sketchy from the outside.
Reasonably priced. The mister and I got out of there with a bill that was under $ 20. Our friend spent maybe $ 6 or $ 7. Of course, both are before tip.
Go check it out. We will be back when in the area.

We both had the country fried steak, so crispy even with the milk gravy! Must try the broccoli casserole, real mashed potatoes and pieces of ham hock in my green beans, so delish! Chocolate fudgy cake so good!

The grilled chicken sandwich is yummy! Great atmosphere and great people!
Some nights have music or karaōke. A very family-​friendly place.
Might be scary from the outside but it’s worth going again and again.

Great family owned and operated, southern restaurant. Country fried steak with mashed potatoes and gravy is wonderful! Must try, don’t believe your gps, they are behind the Shell station at I-​75 and US 41.

Great little southern restaurant with great southern hospitality. When I arrived, there was only two other customers there and only one old man running the whole restaurant. He gave us a hand written menu that had 4 plate options. The C.F. Steak plate, the turkey plate, roast beef plate and the veggie plate. The veggie plate was 4 sides with a bun or cornbread, coconut cake or chocolate cake. The other plates were your meat and 3 sides with the cake, roll or cornbread. I had the roast beef plate with mashed potatoes, Mac and cheese, green beans, a roll and coconut cake. He gave us our dessert first and said «welcome to the south, we eat our dessert first.» The food was great and came out fast. Definitely a great place to eat. I’ll probably go back some day.

The wife and I stopped here yesterday for lunch. For a meat and three type place in the small-​town south, it’s a bit pricey ($ 10 for meat, bread, 3 sides, and a piece of cake), but the food was excellent and it was a LOT of food. It’s a little hard to find by GPS, but it’s at the Hwy. 41 exit on I-​75 at the intersection of 41 and Soldiers Pathway. I had the turkey and dressing, fried squash, mac and cheese, and pintos and all were very good. I would definitely visit again, particularly if hungry!

I had the catfish, he had the burger. He said it was very good, mine looked better. My sides were beets and greens. Very tasty! Very quirky staff.

Great southern food by a chef that really cares about his food. I try to stop by here often.
