Stopped here when in town for a Marshall basketball game. Friend of mine lives in Huntington and he said it was pretty good. So we ate upstairs and pretty much just chatted and watched the televisions. I had the Santa Fe chicken dinner which I thought was pretty good for the most part. A little on the cheap side in quality but still good. Friend had one of the route 66 burger which he said was also pretty good. So the food here is okay but it's nothing spectacular. Definitely would be willing to come back though and try out many of their other things. Service was good for the most part and the ambience was just sports bar. Nothing really else to say about it except it's close to a college campus so that's usually always up in the air on how good things are. But I'm sure they stay just as busy nonetheless.

We've visited Calamity J numerous times at this point and it's a great place to get some good inexpensive food and drinks. The staff are friendly, and the large indoor seating offers multiple sections with different ambiance available in the various sections. There are two bar areas to sit and watch the numerous tvs with sports playing.

I stopped into Calamity J for a bite and a drink after a Marshall basketball game. It wasn't too crowded so my friend and I sat at the bar.I started with the cheese soup, which the bartender said was a popular item, plus it was pretty cold outside. The soup included bacon and homemade croutons. The soup was hot and tasty, but I wish it wasn't so thick. I had a salad with grilled chicken as my main entree. The chicken was juicy and flavorful and the lettuce and tomatoes were fresh. I was very pleased with the salad! Service was good and I loved the restaurants vibe. I will definitely stop by again and try some other menu items.

It is very convenient to the Marshall campus and caters to that business. It is the best of the close to campus restaurants we have tried. Good selection of basic food. Pretty plain ambiance. Food was good and reasonably priced though not spectacular. Lots of choices. Service was solid. I would go back.

Great service. Great food. Great experience per usual. Only thing I would suggest get some bigger tables for people with a larger group that wanted to sit outside and was told didn't have a table for 6.

What a terrible disappointment. When I come back into town, I would always stop in for my favorite dish, the jalapeño angle-hair pasta with shrimp. It's one of the few menu items leftover from the original restaurant. The recipe is simple, but oh so good. I still make it at home from Roy's original recipe that was published decades ago in Huntington Quarterly magazine. Although it hasn't been nearly as good in past years, and declining more my last visit obviously because shortcuts have been made to the recipe; whoever is the current chef has no sense of what the dish was previously and zero palate. The entire dish was encrusted in some sort of Southwest Blend of spices that overwhelmed what this dish is supposed to be. The shrimp which are supposed to be cooked to just done and lightly sprinkled with cayenne pepper were cooked to the consistency of a victim of Pompeii. If bounced off the floor they would have hit the ceiling. There was no hint of a pine nut in the sauce. The Angel hair has been replaced with spaghetti noodles and were undercooked. It was sad. I didn't eat a quarter of the plate, which I had always finished before, never leaving a scrap. For reference the attached photo is what this dish is supposed to look like, made in my own kitchen from the original recipe. That was my last trip to Calamity. There are at least a few other better restaurants to visit in town when I come back home.

I'd enjoyed going to Calamity J's for lunch so I suggested it to my husband for dinner one night. He couldn't believe a ribeye was on the menu for $18.99 so he tried it and said that it was excellent. As a result, anytime I want to go out, all I have to do is suggest Calamity J's and he's headed for the car. The salads are excellent and now, they have added pizza. It's very good, too.

Food was absolutely terrible not even one star worthy. I ordered a medium well done steak it was more rare with a nice burn to the outside. The food was placed an hour before close but that doesn't matter quality should still remain the same. would I recommend anyone eating here or wasting the money no. Will I ever spend another penny there no I won't. I spent $40 on food to turn around and cook at home.
