Calvins' Restaurant And Sportsbar

Headed to Major's for some 50s decor and food but it was closed due to Summer hours. So went across the street to Calvin's . Absolutely delicious hamburger all hand pattied great beef, fresh veggies. We also tried the Cobb salad, fettuccine Alfredo and onion rings and fries everything was great. Do recommend this place. Service was quick. Food was great.

This bar is a big disappointment. My husband and I call here every couple of months and this is the fourth time in a row the have been out of bud draft. Who ever is doing the ordering obviously doesn't know what he's doing. On top of that still no wifi what bar in this day and age doesn't have open wifi. The owners of this pub need to lift their game. If u wasn't a bar full of drunken noisy locals with no bud draft and no wifi then this is your place!

Great place, service dog friendly. The bartender I think his his name was Ernie was very nice.

Not sure who the previous poster was paid by to post their review, but I definitely have to call BS on their review. I went there with my brother and boyfriend after some hiking nearby in Cleveland National Forest... we were just looking for some food and unfortunately for us, Calvin 's was the first place that popped up on the GPS. We should have stuck with our gut and gone to the Frosty Burger next door or just kept on driving. When we arrived there was no one else in the entire restaurant and there was a noticeably loud argument going on in the kitchen, ending with a man saying, Oh great, of course NOW we get busy! when we walked in the door. 3 people is busy for your restaurant?? We should have taken that as our hint to move along since they obviously didn 't want our business. We were seated by a kid who looked like he had been toking up for half the morning already, and I was honestly a bit surprised by the prices on the menu. My brother went to the bathroom and described it as a Haunted House having to walk down a long darkened hallway and needing to be sure to leave the door on one end open to use the light to stumble your way down to the restroom. I ordered the fried shrimp (and had to remind our waiter that the menu shows it comes with soup or salad and 2 sides he had no idea what their menu had on it). It took him 5 minutes to find out what the soup of the day was, and even then he came back and told me he was wrong and what the ACTUAL soup of the day was. It really didn 't matter, all he needed to have said was Leftover dishwashing water since that 's what the soup tasted like and looked like. The sides I ordered were garlic mashed potatoes (which really should have been called week old rancid garlic potato salad) and rice pilaf. I am not sure how you can screw up rice pilaf, but they managed to do just that with flying colors. The fried shrimp was tough beyond belief. My brother ordered the World Famous BBQ and only ate it because his cheap thriftiness wouldn 't allow for him to NOT eat it... but he complained the entire time about how awful it was. My boyfriend ordered a steak with the same sides that I had... he had the same complaints about the sides that I had, and I tried a bite of his steak and literally wanted to spit it out as soon as it touched my tongue. All this terrible food coupled with our Dude... I 'm so hiiiiigh waiter who literally had his iPod in his ears BLASTING metal music so loud that we could hear it across the restaurant and as he served us, and brought the wrong order twice... and the waiter having to turn up the music on their CD player (a Chuck Berry CD we heard 3 times all the way through the entire time we were there) to drown out the owners/chefs fighting in the kitchen loudly. We 're pretty sure they were fighting over whose fault it was their restaurant is such a failure. We ended up pushing our food around the plates awhile, then paying our overpriced bill.... only the sodas were worth paying for... $5.00. I wouldn 't wish this place on my worst enemy... we ate another dinner once we got back to San Diego.

My wife and our friends decided to go out to dinner on a Saturday night, and since we were in the area, we decided to try Calvin's. The first red flag that we should have noticed, was that we were the only people in the restaurant on a Saturday night. The first thing I noticed, was that our waitress was not wearing any kind of uniform or anything that told us we were at Calvin's. She was wearing a hooded sweatshirt, and a pair of jeans. The further we got into ordering the meal, the more we started to think that maybe she doesn't work there! She knew nothing about the menu! She didn't know what sides they had, or how certain meals were prepared, she knew nothing! So once we get through the ordeal of ordering our food, after 45 minutes we finally get our food. I ordered the ribs, and seeing that they were about $20, I thought I was gonna get some tasty ribs. Wrong. They were terrible. Dry and tasteless were the first words that came to mind. Not to mention that everybodys food came out cold. We just stomached the cold food though, because we didnt want to wait another hour for them to make us new food. Stay away from this place. Drive 10 minutes west on the highway and go to Fred's Diner or Janet's Cafe...much better.
