My AMAZING CRAZY ECLECTIC Auntie!!! (Not actually my auntie) It's what I would imagine if I called my auntie and said "Im in town, let's get together." And she's like "I'll start the mimosas" Food: 5/5! seriously down home cooked meals from scratch. You leave feeling a little thick in the middle and a heart full of love. Ambiance: Crazy Auntie does not have a theme. She owns the essence of art and vibe. Sunflowers? Check. Stone walls? Yes! stained glass? absolutely. Fireplaces in August? Why not?!!! So. FREAKING FUN!!!! The service was on spot. Seated before we walked in. Served before we looked at the menu, but we didn't feel rushed. Food came out and we all attacked each others plates. YUM YUM YUM I literally took my mimosa for a walk around the place and read the walls. Articles posted, original art and photos. So cool. There is outdoor seating. Tap is available. What a desert Rose of a place!!! A real piece of gold among the Nevada mountains. read more

Stopped here for the 1st time with wife & couple of friends. I had the pastrami with onion rings. Wife has the Light breakfast, our friends had a Cesar salad with chicken, the other had the hamburger. All our food was awesome, the service was excellent. Novel concept here, pay attention ... no one greeted us with the overused phrase " WELCOME IN." Hey folks STOP IT, stop saying "WECOME IN"! Anyway the tables were kept clean, the ice tea, water, lemonade never went dry. Refills were plentiful. The condiments on the tables were clean. The bathrooms were clean. The staff were attentive & very friendly! This is a rare place in an area where there is a desert of good Resturants! I highly recommend "Crazy Calamities" read more

Oh this was by far my favorite restaurant in Virginia city . The food and the prices were good And it was adorable inside . It felt like being in someone's home . read more

Crazy Calamities - Menu - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Virginia City, Nevada

Delicious food! I had the huevos Rancheros and my daughter had the Crazy Cakes pancakes which were delicious and I don't usually like pancakes at most restaurants. Burritos were a favorite too. Great service and a nicely shaded outdoor area, we'll be back next time we're visiting Virginia City. read more

Great little secret in Virginia City! The outdoor seating area is wonderful as is the staff. The food was enjoyed by all.

Calamities used to be at the opposite end of VC. Now on the south end of B Street in the old Cider House. This straight forward home style cooking serves breakfast and lunch five days a week until 3 pm. Breakfast portions are substantial. Fluffy airy pancakes that require no syrup. Biscuits and brown sausage gravy bigger than a lumberjack's fist. And if you require a little adult beverage- there's several options for mimosas. Including a flight if you can't decide. And house made Bloody Mary mix that creates a drink that looks like a meal, but I was assured it was just an appetizer. If you slept in or weren't quite feeling like breakfast, there's a great variety of hearty sandwiches. My go to is the BLTA on your choice of bread. Fries are good, but I highly recommend the tater tots- they are tossed in crack, so you just can't stop. And don't ask me to share. The French dip was piled high with thinly sliced roast beef on a fresh hoagie bun. There's a great small patio out front, large dining room to the right or the quaint cafe like area you walk into. Also congrats to the CC crew. 2026 Rocky Mountain Oyster Festival winning Philly cheesesteaks. Yes it was delicious. read more

I was getting married that morning so we ordered 10 breakfast burritos for the girls helping my Bride. They were great! My brother calls "where's a good breakfast place?" Me "right here, nice people. Cute venue." We're going back! read more

I love this place. This is a cute and delicious place to start the day. Food is delicious and tastes homemade. We ordered pancakes and eggs, huevos rancheros, NY steak and eggs and Devil's Gate Dip. All the food was delicious: we didn't leave anything behind. Service was great. We sat by the fireplace which was great because it was cold outside Our waitress was super friendly and inviting. This is a place I would definitely come back and try other foods :) read more

Food is fresh and Homemade. Chicken fried steak with homemade gravy, 2 eggs, hash browns. I ordered half portion of biscuit and gravy, 2 eggs, slice of Ham Staff were extremely pleasant. Large portions. Homemade apple muffin, was delicious! We asked for it to be warmed with some butter. The Bloody Mary was perfectly spiced, and the Mimosa (18 flavors to choose from) was served in a pint mason jar, nice size! Sit on the outdoor patio, enjoyable and welcoming. read more

When I say this is the best food in town, I mean it. This adorable little cafe is a powerhouse and a must-try when you visit Virginia City. Everything on the menu is superb. Nothing frozen, everything is fresh, from scratch and made to order. They feature a full breakfast menu and a lunch menu. I've tried multiple things on the menu and nothing has disappointed me ever. They also have weekly specials and you must try the Huevo Rancheros (when available) made in house. You can't get any better in town or the surrounding towns. Huevos rancheros is one of my all-time favorite breakfast dishes, and I make a point of always trying it if it's on a menu. This one ranks up with some of the best I've ever had. This place has a little dining area inside off from the kitchen and a gorgeous dining area adjacent for larger groups. There is also a patio area to eat outside with the most cutest decor and you might glimpse a local kitten playing in the flowers. They have the cutest names for their food items as well. Dishes I've tried and loved include: Breakfast: The Cow Patty (chicken fried steak) Wild Bill's Breakfast (2 eggs, potatoes, meat, toast) The Norman Helloooooo (New York Steak) Pork Chorizo Potatoes (hello! Yum) *Breakfast things I need to try and haven't yet but include the Biscuits and Gravy (I have heard so many locals rave about this; I can't believe I haven't tried it yet) & Gold Rush (Orange Spiced French Toast) Lunch: Devil's Gate Dip: seriously, amazing, slow cooked beef French dip. The beef is so succulent, and the au juice is amazing as well with onions added. A must! Fried Potato Balls: just as it sounds, with a delicious sriracha dipping sauce. Onion Rings: Huge pieces for us onion lovers! The Italian: Another must! Delicious Italian salad: i'm a sucker for a good salad and I've been known to add the beef from the Devil's gate dip to put on top of the salad. And the Italian dressing is homemade and incredible! *Lunch items I need to try and haven't yet include the Sharp Shooter (chicken breast in buffalo or ranch sauce sandwich ), The Ringo (New York Steak Sandwich with blue cheese & mushrooms (be still my heart!) & Tombstone BLTA (and you can add freshly shaved turkey to club it up). Now let's talk about their Mimosas! They have amazing mimosa flavors! This isn't just your standard OJ and Champagne! They even offer a flight of mimosas, I have never seen that anywhere. You must try them! Flavors include my two favorites (Blueberry & Sunrise) as well as a Mango flavor, a Tropical Rum, Pineapple , and Strawberry. Seriously, who else offers that assortment of flavors? So perfect to wash down your breakfast or lunch with. You had me at mimosa! I'll definitely be back multiple times every time I visit my family in Virginia City. Their hours are 6 AM to 3 PM so you've got to make sure to go during breakfast or lunch and they are closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays. The folks who run the place are great! Super friendly, accommodating locals who serve the best food you can find. Chef's kiss to you: Misty, Leslie, Susan and Chris! You guys are killing it!! read more

Crazy Calamities - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Virginia City, Nevada

What a absolute gem of a find in Virginia city. It's a little bit of ways from the main downtown strip. The place has very unique decoration and the vibe here makes you feel like you've taken a small step back in time. Each table has a small bowl of various chocolates and candies. The interior decoration and exterior looks great. The food was better than expected with a lot of the items that are homemade. I would suggest this place and wouldn't mind coming back and trying some of their other dishes. read more

We decided to try the new Crazy Calamities for breakfast. You can have breakfast or lunch up till 3:00pm. I made a reservation for noon, but truly wasn't needed. It was not busy at all. I like that they had a fire going, I would have preferred to sit by the fire, the resturant tends to be on the cold side, but in the main dining room has mostly tables for large parties. There are two sides to the menu for Breakfast & Lunch. My husband and I split the Strawberry muffin and it was to die for. The waitress Susan said " they are super good the chef/owner (Misty) is an excellent baker" and she was right about that! My husband had the Bloody Mary it was spicy just the way he likes it and it had a meal of its own. We shared the breakfast burrito the bacon was tasty. I think I should have gotten the muffin for myself! Next time I'm ordering the bake goods & a side of bacon. read more

This restaurant is in a Historical Building in the historic town of Virginia City, NV. The ambiance of the old rooms was fascinating, welcoming, homey. Food was quite delicious with huge portions. Nice prices. Staff was accommodating, helpful, friendly, with quick, excellent service. (She gave us awesome history of this 1862 structure, as well) I highly recommend this wonderful place for a fabulous mealtime experience with family and/or friends. :~) read more

Super good food, great onion rings. Had the burger and was surprised how fresh and yummy it was.

Amazing place! The customer service and the food here was amazing. We will definitely be back! Great flavors and perfect portions.

Showed up here for a quick lunch on a Sunday people were awesome. Food was amazing. Great location off the beaten path we sat outside on the patio. It was delicious. read more

Awesome everything! Excellent food, cool atmosphere, service could not have been better! We had our little pup with us, she was in her stroller, and when we were seated, our server asked if she could offer Mia (dog) a treat... which was a chunk of their House-made sausage (included in my breakfast sandwich - again, awesome!) My husband is a biscuits-n-gravy guy, picky and hard to please. He said that these were the BEST biscuits and gravy he had EVER tasted! (He's 74 years old and has eaten a biscuit or two over the years.) The biscuits are made right there each morning, and the gravy was to die for! We also shared a freshly baked strawberry muffin, which was excellent. We are looking forward to breakfast there on our next visit to Virginia City. read more

This place is a true gem. "Sublime" food in the words of my chef partner. Wonderful staff. The best chocolate muffin I've ever had. It's a must if you're in this area. Amazing homely ambiance. Great coffee. Five stars!!! read more

Great food and great staff. Found this gem through a Google search. It is off the main road in Virginia City. Highly recommend it!

Crazy Calamities is always a favorite when I'm in Virginia City! The old Western vibe makes it feel special, and you're always greeted with kindness.

What is super cute place! The people at Tahoe House hotel told us about it, but I also saw the reviews here before I ask them. There were a few choice breakfast places to pick from and we picked this place. Their food was perfect and the outside was so cute. We ate outside before it got super hot, but it's shaded. There's no air conditioner in this building either as I assume most buildings in VC are not air-conditioned. They have a small menu which is perfectly fine easy to choose from. My husband got the cow pattie and I got the wild bill. Love these names. Cow Pattie is chicken fried steak with gravy and eggs and potatoes. The wild bill was eggs, choice of meat, choice of bread and potatoes. We also got a side of their homemade peach crumble muffin that was really good. (Not gluten free, which I cheated) they have a full bar here too if you wanna mimosa or coffee drink. I definitely recommend this place ! It's the street above the main town so it's not as crazy busy on the street. read more

This place is fantastic! We came here for breakfast after staying near by for our honeymoon. I selfishly want to gate keep cause it's so good lol but they also deserve the attention because they are seriously delicious! The service was friendly and they went above and beyond to make us comfortable and find things we would like! The atmosphere was also really special! Their main dining room has exposed original stone work from when it was a cider house and the walls had pictures of famous people who came there! It's rich with history and pride. I love how they have kept that alive and honor all of those who came before them. It's a cool spot, beautifully themed, tucked away off the main road, and it's the best food I've had up in Virginia city! Highly recommend! read more

Wow! So many times I read reviews that are too generous. Not this time. I had the chicken fried steak and eggs with chorizo potatoes. Eggs were cooked exactly as ordered, the potatoes were crazy good, and the gravy was amazing. It wasn't that typical boring white gravy. This gravy would be the star of the show if it weren't for the fact that everything I had was the star of the show. My bloody Mary was also great with lots of veggies. I certainly know where I will be heading for breakfast when up in VC. BTW... My partner's breakfast was very good as well. His hash browns were wonderfully crispy. read more
