Calamity Jane's — Restaurant in Sugar Grove Township

PLEASE DO NOT SUPPORT THIS COMPANY AS THEY ARE DISHONEST PEOPLE. Unfortunately, the owners of this company are crooks. It has taken me 12 years before having the courage to write this review, but I believe it is time. I created the logo for this company. Yep, the beautiful sign with the fun rope letters and the horse that reads Calamity Jane's is stolen artwork. The owner's husband hired me to create a logo for them (I am a graphic designer). On the phone, he sounded like a great guy. I spent about 15 hours creating their logo. Then crickets. I didn't hear from him anymore. The next thing I know, I am driving by and see a sign hanging up with my artwork! I couldn't believe it! I called him and he said that he didn't owe me anything because we didn't have a "written contract". So, at 6 months pregnant, I took him to court. That was the first time I have ever even entered a courtroom. I was young and had no clue what I was doing, I just knew I was dealing with some bad people. It gets worse. Not sure if the owner knew the judge or what, but he basically LIED in court and got away with it!! So, not only was I out the money he owed me for my time, I was out the court fees as well. This also goes to show you the court system does not have your back. I had all my emails and documentation that showed I created the logo and the judge even said to him, "You're telling me that you got this artwork and it just happens to look the exact same as your graphic designers...that sounds like a one in a million chance" ....YET, the judge sided with him because Jim lied and said he didn't use my work. Anyway, I have to drive past this place every Sunday on my way to church and it still makes me sick to my stomach that people like this get away with...

We've had good experiences in the past, but our last visit was not that. My wife has a gluten allergy. We are well aware that there's risk anytime we eat out. She asked about any ciders that were available and the waitress, who shared her mom is celiac, mentioned the Stella cider. She went with that. What was delivered was a Stella beer. Unfortunately my wife figured it out by taking a drink. According to the explanation from the waitress, the Stella cider keg was out so they substituted the beer. Wow. My son ordered mac n cheese. It was brought out looking quite dry and unappealing. He picked at it a bit but I couldn't blame him for not eating it. We mentioned it to the waitress and she said she didn't think it looked very good coming out of the kitchen and understood. Hmmm, maybe she should have taken that up with the kitchen instead of bringing it to the table. Overall a disappointing experience and we'll drop it from our local places to revisit list. Too bad too because there's not a whole lot of options...

Hopefully someday I'll have the pleasure of meeting Corinne at Calamity Jane's. She was my husband's guardian angel today. Her act of kindness might've saved my husband's life. She will never truly know just in words how , much her actions did to make sure he was ok. In conclusion Wife (In Washington) could not reach husband (travelling from Ohio back to Oregon). His phone died while he was parked in Calamity Jane's parking lots according to Google maps location sharing. So after some time had passed I became a bit worried as to why his phone was still off and no word that he had taken his insulin (which he forgets often). So after playing detective The Angel "Corinne" message me back quickly to assure me my husband was fine and resting peacefully in his truck. I knew then he would be just fine and I was able to...
