Beware of the muffin scam!đ§âđ”
My sisters, dad, and I were so excited to have lunch at Crazy Calamities this afternoon as a fun destination during our Nevada trip.
Upon entering the restaurant, the staff seemed really inviting and helpful, and we thought we were in for a great meal.
The waitress told my family that a scratch-made chocolate chip muffin was leftover from earlier and asked if weâd like to try it. She said they werenât even on their menu. Iâm trying to avoid sugar, so I said no thanks. However, after we ordered and were waiting for our food, she returned with the muffin on a little plate and set it right on our table, making a comment that made it seem like she was just being kind and giving it to us to try. We ate it since we were super hungry, even though it wasnât something we asked for.
A little while later, she did the same thing with one of their lemon muffins. Again, we ate it, thinking that it was just complimentary.
After we ate and received our bill, we noticed that it was approximately $20 more than it shouldâve been. I asked the waitress if we were accidentally overcharged, and she said, âNo, I donât think so. You had four meals, two drinks, and two muffins.â That means she charged us crazy high prices for muffins we didnât even ask for!
Admittedly, the food was tasty and the restaurant was clean, but the shady sales tactics left a bitter taste in our mouths.

1st timers from Dayton yesterdayâŠ2-14-2025. I had The Ringo and my Birthday girl had The Hickok. Fabulous. Bloody Maryâs. Fabulous. Took home a 6 pack of the strawberry muffinsâŠhomemade.
Susan was a joy and our 3 year old lab EllaâŠhad a burger.
GREAT EXPERIENCEâŠ

The food here is super good home style comfort food. I can't believe I've lived here 22 years and am just finding out about this place.
If you want a great place to have your family comfort food then you need to get your butt at one of their tables. We were helped by the owner and she was very nice and helped us with some local haunting lore of Virginia City which was awesome as it was Halloween and we knew where to go and what to look for. Every time I go up to Virginia City I'm always amazed by another little hidden gem. This place is definitely a rinse and repeat. If you don't like it there you're weird and have problems that you need to seek professional help on.
Parking: Oh it's Virginia City so parking is always rough.
Kid-friendliness: Plenty of items in the kid section but they're very accommodating as my wife and I split the BLTA with added turkey and she separated it onto 2 plates

In search for a place to have breakfast around the Nevada mountains, we came across this place. We did not Jon what to expect but we were super pleasantly surprised. The restaurant is part of an Inn where many characters from Bonanza stayed during filming. The place is filled with pictures, which made the whole experience super cool. The food was good but adjust expectations. For us, we had all we wanted. The best part was service, which was above and beyond expectations. We were in the front room because there was a big wedding party using the nicer room. That was not problem and in fact we preferred it as we had the room for ourselves. Give this place a chance and enjoy your time in this time capsule.

We were looking for a quieter, more peaceful atmosphere with great food, and were so lucky to find this wonderful, quaint place - Crazy Calamities!! We had the Hot Pastrami sandwich and The Devilâs Gate [beef] Dip w/au jus. Both were absolutely delicious! The Bloody Mary was excellent as well. We also had such an enjoyable conversation with the owner [Lesley?]. We highly recommendâŒïž
Cute cute CUTE place, excellent chicken fried steak, biscuts and gravy for my husbands birthday today. The owner was so wonderfully nice and attentive. And her creation the pineapple rum mimosa was delicious! Go, you will love it here.

Great breakfast in a fantastic courtyard... but be careful of up selling here. Things which you believe to be on the house may appear on your bill.
