13 reviews for Cally's Restaurant and Brewing Company
Virginia, you rock!
We ended up in Harrisonburg by complete chance. Up until two days ago I had never heard of it. As with any new place, I always check for breweries and Cally's came up. We didn't go into it expecting too much but had a good time. The beer was tasty (although they didn't offer a porter or stout...very odd) and the service was good.
If you're looking for a brewery that also serves inventive, fusion foods this isn't it, but the food is a hell of a lot better than most small town bars.

Nice, fresh food with great ingredients (and a good descriptive menu) -- local beers to remember. Absolutely love their zippy bruschetta appetizer -- marinated tomatoes really make it pop, and it's plenty large enough to share. Good service, too. Some dinners range into the 20s, but their selection of sandwiches and salads is less expensive (many around $9) and very tasty.

Cally's has an awesome outside deck upstairs where you can enjoy the weather, but that's about all you'll enjoy. I went for brunch and the service was great, but the food was just okay. Maybe I need to try it a as the "burger and beer" joint that people have noted so far.
Food is just above par American salads, burgers, sandwiches, etc. I highly recommend happy hour (4:30-6:30 M-F) where pints are $1 off and appetizers are half price.
Beer is very good, especially the darker selections (Porters, Stouts, etc). A locally owned business worth supporting.
Pretty good.
had the jerk steak here one night. it was overcooked but still tender and i had one of their own brewed beers. not bad.
perhaps i need to grab a burger next time. might be more impressed. would come back.
Restaurant / Brewhouse.
Apparently there are still a few of these Brewhouse places out there- I had thought that they were mostly gone by now.
Having driven into Harrisonburg and having no idea where to get a bite to eat, we were given a list of restaurants to pick from over at the visitor center.
The decor is nice- but it seems that the space is wasted- it is huge but there is so much open area that you have to wonder how they turn a profit.
The servers are excellent- very quick and efficient. The home grown beers are adequate but nothing to jump up and down about- in fact Sam Adam's has them beat on most of the styles.
The food was good if heavily sauced - everything seems to be in some sauce or another. Tasty but I can't imagine what the calorie count is on those dishes.
The portions were large and surprisingly the waitress didn't even ask if we wanted dessert - maybe she saw we were ready for a nap...
Parking is on the street.

Some of the beer they brew is quite good. But the food suuuu-uuu-uuucks. It's completely… Read more »
The beer is the reason to head to Cally's.
It's a "burger and beer joint", and the house brews are worth the visit.
The food won't knock your socks off but i haven't been disappointed.
The service has always been good.
A relaxed vibe, nothing pretentious, very accommodating.
This restaurant, formerly known as "Calhoun's", seems to be one of Harrisonburg's most treasured eateries. In all honesty, I was never really impressed with the place. The interior is nice, and the waiting staff is consistently and mysteriously Caucasian, fit, tanned, and clad in khaki's, but other than that, nothing else seems to stand out. I actually feel that most of dishes are a little soapy in flavor, and this makes me wonder what the common source of this may be. I didn't really try enough of the in house beers to accumulate a respectable sample size on which to make judgments, but based on what I did try, I can say that I found the beer less than special. Oh, I've also been ignored while standing near at the restaurant's doorstep. I never really understood the source of this snootiness.

I only had one beer at the bar. I had an Oktoberfest brew and my dad had a hefeweizen. I thought both of the beers tasted sweet. The crowd seemed a bit older. 40 something couples and groups of friends in their late 20s and 30s. The menu looked like standard American fare.
Our experience with this place was extremely slow service and possibly the worst pasta (the Tuscan Chicken Pasta) dish I've ever had in a restaurant. Seriously, I think it ranks with a PastaRoni that's been overcooked. And it was $15 - not cheap exactly, especially in a smaller city in Virginia. It was a Friday night and the place was packed, although mostly it seemed that people were drinking, not eating. Smart choice. The beer was pretty good, but even standard pub grub like a burger was cooked to almost well done, instead of the medium rare that was requested. It was nice to sit out on the rooftop deck... and that's about it.

Love this place. Scottish Ale is rediculous
Based on a recommendation from the visitor's center we dined on the rooftop of this place. I ordered their cobb salad with grilled chicken and avocado viniagrette. Very yummy. My husband ordered the fish tacos and enjoyed his dish. He also ordered a sampler of their brews but wasn't much impressed, he thought the Trader Joe's ales tasted better. I ordered the Hawaiian Blue which was too sweet, I think they forgot to add the pineapple juice to give it a tart kick. Overall we thought the food was decent and it was cool to dine on the rooftop. Our waitress was fairly attentive and we got great service.
