I had heard some troubling stories related to Calamity J under new ownership, so my husband and I went to see. Food was great and service was even better! We had the absolute best experience with the sweetest young woman. Her name was Mashayla (I think that's how you spell it). This young lady is an absolute delight! Perfect balance between professionalism and fun. She kept me laughing the whole time while still being focused on service. If you want good vibes and better food, Calamity J is your spot!!

We sat on the second floor at the bar-Frankie was great! While training another person she still paid attention to details of our service. We ordered the Cheeseburger with fries and Jalapeño Poppers! We played some tunes on the touch tunes and some sports on the TVs! Super close to the Interstate and right across the street from the Main entrance of Marshall University.

Decided to try this place out. Food was delicious! We got the pulled pork nachos and the crazy bowl. Both delicious!!! For drinks we got the red sangria pitcher which was on sale! Super cheap for such a fruity drink! Our waiter, Palmer was absolutely amazing! I highly recommend requesting him to be your server! Overall great place with outdoor seating.

No wait when we arrived and we were greeted immediately. We sat inside, but outside tables were available. The Housemade Chips are so very good. Hubby had the Clodhopper Meatball Sub and it was great portion size and he said it was tasty. Daughter had a Philly Steak and it had Spicy kick to it but not overwhelming. I had the Cheese Soup that I had heard so much about and it was not great. To me, it was like canned cheese soup with bacon bits, croutons and paprika on top. I will stick with the Pizza or Salad from now on when we get back there. Service was great and fast and friendly.

The food was Excellent! Love the art work on the walls and the overall design of the building. The cute little balcony on the second floor is a wonderful touch overlooking 3rd Ave and Marshall Campus. My waiter was phenomenal. Marco was his name. Felt very welcomed and the service was above and beyond! I definitely suggest Clamity J as one of the top suggestions to visit for a casual uplifting place to eat. The vibes are just right
