Marshall Hall of Fame Cafe

We held Judge Ron Anderson’s campaign fundraiser here this past week and it was the perfect location!
The food was fantastic — chicken tenders, artichoke dip with chips, Swedish meatballs, veggie tray, and assorted ham and turkey sandwiches on Country French Rolls! Everything was the best I’ve ever had!
In addition, the staff was really friendly, helpful, and honestly could not do enough for us. A heartfelt «Thank you» to the Marshall Hall of Fame Cafė and their chef and servers. It was truly a wonderful gathering!

Came here before a Marshall basketball game and got a good sports vibe with the ambience. Plenty of big screen TV ‘s to watch sports. The staff & service was very solid. Restaurant is also pretty clean. I tried the big Herd Burger with 2 toasted cheese sandwiches as the buns and left full. Tall bud lights are only $ 2 during Happy Hour. My only critique is that they need to knock down those pillars at the bar. These make you feel hidden if you’re seated by one & the bartender loses sight of you.

Today my family decided to try something new. It took almost 20 mins before a waitress even took our drink order and the place was not that busy. I ended up getting the Fabulous Fish and Chips, philly steak and the chicken fingers. I can say that there was nothing fabulous adout the fish and chips. The breading was crunchy but the fish was almost like purée. The fabulous fries were old and not the best tasting. My wife’s philly left her song she would rather eat somewhere else and the chicken fingers were just dry. We will not be coming back here again.

This is a good place for watching a football game (or three of them playing at the same time). It’s a bit noisy and somewhat distracting, but with a few drinks and good company I’m sure this could be fun. As for the food… it was my first visit but I found it very inconsistent. I ordered chips salsa and queso which tasted like pace picante sauce, velveeta cheese and store-​bought chips that were somewhat stale. Stay far away from this appetizer. The Sicilian chicken however was tasty and offered just the right amount of goat cheese and a creamy butter and lemon sauce. The chicken was very moist and had just enough seasoning to give it flavor but not to overwhelm the taste buds. Lightly seasoned asparagus mushrooms and sun dried tomatoes accompanied the dish. My suggestion is to ask questions about the menu and avoid disappointment.

You know the appearance of this place put me off, I don’t really like the sporty bars. But god damn if the food isn’t awesome and the people are nicer than hell!

Good service. No waiting. The garlic wings were delicious and the ribs were fall-​off-​the-​bone. The poetions were generous, and MANY different beers on tap.
Our waitress Ellen was on point, courteous and friendly. I highly recommend.

Ran across this place while visiting Huntington. Good beer selection. Appetizer lettuce cups were average. Both us had the steak salad for entrees. Lots of red onion and blue cheese, but not so much steak. What was there was tasty; just feel that the amount of steak did not give credence to it being called a steak salad. One of our salads had tomatoes and the other didn’t. Interesting in that neither the kitchen nor the waitress noticed this. Lack of attention to detail says a lot about a place.

First it was renovated, wow. The restaurant was outstanding, it exceeded my expectation. In order the bam bam shrimp and a Cobb salad, and I would order this again, and again. Again it EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATION,

Although I love the food at Marshall Hall of Fame Café, their prices have recently gone up while their serving sizes have gotten smaller. So the end result is that the food is great but overpriced. By the time I added a 15% tip for the waitress, I ended up paying $ 17 for a salad and a glass of ice water.
I will probably only come here for happy hour from now on. They have half-​priced appetizers and very good frozen margaritas at happy hour.

I’ve been here a few times recently and been disappointed. The service was slower than I remembered and the food less spectacular. I do like that they have outdoor seating in the summer. And you can still always get in without a wait. The strawberry salad and salmon are still pretty good though!

Servers and host staff were friendly. The kitchen seemed a little slow, but the food wasn’t bad, once it finally arrived. It wasn’t ‘amazing’ or anything, but nothing needed to be sent back or tossed aside. Best of the meal was probably the bang bang shrimp. Lobster bisque didn’t have much lobster at all and wasn’t as good as usual. Turkey grinders were a little more bland than before the renovations also, but, they weren’t bad at all. If you’re into the sports bar atmosphere, you might give it a higher rating, but, if you’re going for the food alone, you’ll probably find this place lands perfectly under the definition of ‘adequate’. Of course, that’s a lot better than many of the competitors, so, it may be worth a shot when you’re burned out on everything else in town.

AWESOME food and great service.
The hot wings are to die for! Lobster bisque soup is by far my favorite.
We haven’t had anything on the menu that we didn’t like. On the rare occasion that something was not made to our preference, they immediately fixed the problem.

A nice burger joint showing dedication to the University of Marshall. Great layout and bar. This place has some memorabilia for the Thundering Herd and is interesting to learn about while you’re visiting. The food is good, the service is good. Your average restaurant. If you’re a Marshall fan, or just want to learn about some of the sports history — spot in if you have time.

Terrible, terrible service… food is fine but won’t be back for awhile. People going in and out of the kitchen were dirty and scratching under their arms… they seemed to be part of the management team? Ewww… just not right.

Best bar in the area! Wifi is great! Beer selection is above average! Way above average TVs. Food is decent. martha is the evening tender!

A tribute to the university that made this city, Marshall Hall of Fame Café is more about the ambiance than the food.
You can expect American food that is good but not great with good service at a reasonable price. The interior hosts a mini museum of Marshall’s sports memories with a large bar and plenty of seating for most nights. There is also a beautiful patio that sits out in one of the nicest parts of town. Great for groups, kids, and families.

The best thing about this place is that it is enormous and there is a patio for when the weather is nice.
The food is just standard American fare. They serve a decent steak salad, and the flatbread pizzas are not bad either. But it’s great for lunch bc the service is both consistently prompt and attentive.
There is a great deal of Marshall-​themed memorabilia, which I would probably find more endearing if the Hall of Fame Cafes were not a restaurant chain. It strikes me as pandering, but then again I am not native to the area, nor did I attend a Division I school, so sports enthusiasm is largely lost on me.

Don’t usually write reviews… BUT…this place has went downhill over the past couple years. My bf and I used to love it, and still occasionally go there only to be reminded that we need to stop. This place used to be clean, quick and the prices were better. I don’t want to knock the waitresses because I think it’s more of a management problem with scheduling, but the service has been horrible any time we’ve went this past year. Frequently seems like half the restaurant is closed off, the parts that Are open you’ll have 8 tables needing bussed that are empty while you wait 10 minutes to be seated. Seems like there are often only a few servers for the entire place, so the wait times to even get drink orders taken, much less ordering and getting your food are growing longer and longer. The prices have went up while the food quality has went down. And the drinks, good LAWD the drinks. Ridiculously over priced especially the mixed drinks. Have found on several occasions that when ordering a top shelf Patron margarita at $ 10+ tastes no better than the also over priced house margaritas. The last ones we got were left without being finished because the sour mix or whatever they used tasted rotten and the waitress never came back to check on us. And we were both sick within an hour of leaving.
We’ve found the last several times we’ve went the servers will often leave your check on the table shortly after serving your meal without ever asking if you’re wanting to order anything else. Which I guess doesn’t really matter, because most the times we’ve ordered another round of drinks, we’ve had to ask them to take it off the check because they’ve forgotten to bring it by the time we’re ready to leave.
Really hate it, because we used to really love it there. Dunno if there was a change in management or ownership, but we’ve definitely started going elsewhere. Hope they turn it around.

:) we are a family of four who take road trips. This whole town was a pleasant surprise. Great shops and decent choice of restaurants. This place had the typical kids menu. No complaints. Husband had the Rotisserie Chicken Sandwich. He really liked it. I had the Margherita Flatbread and enjoyed it. Good service. Sat outside on a lovely evening.
Give it a go. ;)

A good sports bar that has a good atmosphere with great drink specials. The food is decent, but the burgers are underseasoned. Salt and pepper would go a long way in cooking good burgers. The steaks and seafood are okay, but the salads are very tasty.
This place has plenty of hdtv sets and many places to entertain inside the café. The best touch in the place is the Marshall Hall of Fame Walk inside, very classy. Could be a 4 or 5 star place if the menu is changed.
