Prior to going to Callaways I asked quite a few people their thoughts because I had never been there. Almost everyone I talked to said... It's okay, middle of the road. Well, I thought the breadsticks were good. They did offer some oil type dip with the breadsticks. I had the spaghetti and meatballs. I think the meatballs were frozen and not made fresh. The sauce was really tomatoey tasting. I substituted for angel hair and thought the noodles were cooked really well. The plates had cheese all over the rims when they were served. I've never been a big fan of that. I know it sounds a little nitpicky but never been a big fan of putting stuff on the rim of plates. The person I was with got ravioli and I couldn't quite tell but it tasted like the sauce was different. I had a quick taste of the sauce and thought the ravioli sauce if it was different seemed a little better. Maybe it was the same sauce, I'm not sure. I thought the service was really good as far as the attitude and pleasantness of the servers. When I walked in one thing I didn't really like was seeing the belly of the hostess and some of the waitresses were wearing tank tops. (Spend some money on these girls so they can wear Callaway branded uniforms or even t-shirts). In their defense it was pretty hot that night and I mean really hot but what I'm talking about has nothing to do with modesty so much as it is I love seeing everybody wearing the same type of shirt with the logo on it. I just love conformity in a restaurant setting and feeling like they're a team and it didn't totally feel that way when it came to uniforms. At the end of the day our server was the one that made the experience really great. She was on top of it. Kept the drinks filled. Got the order in fast. Our server was really great. In my opinion, if you change that sauce to something special you'll be selling out every night. I can tell there's good people there with good intentions, just need to tighten up a few things to take it from good to great!!!

Food was okay, I have certainly had better for the price. $$$ One star because the building was so hot I started to feel sick. There were no fans in the large room we were in and the garage door was down. I eventually went out to my car to cool off. Our waitress was great. Probably won’t be back.

First time at Callaways. Great if you want to eat your meal in a sauna. Way too hot, no AC, might be better in the winter, but then you might freeze. We were sweating to death! Could be better if they’d fixed that issue, put in some central heating and air. We won’t be going back. I feel bad for that staff having to work in those conditions. Someone needs to call OSHA.

Placed a order forgot one of our meals. Said they could make in 45 min. Very over priced for not even 2 cups a noodles and 6 shrimp for 20.00. fettuccine was terrible tasted like came from frozen box. Garlic bread was so seasoned couldn't even eat. I won't eat there again

Been in the restaurant industry my whole life, I don’t usually write reviews… but YIKES… Ordered take out. Got a Pasta dish with chicken, chicken breast tasted like a frozen piece of chicken that was microwaved. Pasta not flavorful at all. The calzone was fine. They forgot the dressing to side salads we ordered. Went back in cause they forgot the breadsticks only to be disappointed that they were literally just bread no seasoning, not even a little buttered or marinara to go with it. Very surprised by the lack of attention/detail put into this order especially when it wasn’t busy. We ordered at 7:45pm, I get that is close to closing time at 8:30pm, but the employees should still be focused on putting their attention into their food/service during any hours open for business and not just closing duties.

We came here for our friends birthday. First off the bread sticks were so good and they give you so many. Our server was really nice and helpful. I ordered a side salad and the creamy chicken pesto. I did need to add quite a bit of salt to my pasta, but other than that the food was really good. My husband ordered the bbq chicken pizza. Really good portions. The carrot cake was so good we ordered another to go. It’s so moist and the frosting balances it perfectly. Highly recommend !!

Vegetarian options: Pretty much everything could be vegetarian just by taking the meat off. The pasta dishes would hold their own without meat and they have great salad options too

Kid-friendliness: Super kid friendly. Lots of tables that are farther away from each other so you have your own private area

Food was great, service was good, atmosphere was great. A little loud when we first arrived, but quited down by halfway through our meal. Waitress was cute with a friendly smile and personality. She tried hard...
