Hello to the best place around. We arrived during the lunch hour, very busy, waited about 25 minutes for a table, and worth the wait. The service was amazing, the food was delicious, and the whole experience was wonderful. I loved the atmosphere there. Everyone was friendly and attentive to all our needs. I was very happy with our waitress, as I tend to drink a lot of water, and she was always right there to fill my glass when it was empty. After we finished our lunch, we went into your gift shop. Oh, my goodness, there were so many awesome things to choose from. I purchased an adorable calico kitty stuffed animal. She was so soft and huggable. Sadly, somewhere between there and home, I lost her. I went on your website to purchase another one to replace it and could not order from the website. that was the ONLY downfall I found with this place. I recommend everyone to eat here on your way to or from the beach. We will certainly be back for more food and souvenirs! Thank you again for the amazing service we received.

Beware of location/directions! This restaurant is in Seaside.. or is it??? It shares a zip code with Seaside but you will drive a very long and windy road to get to this restaurant and it was like an hour aways from the Seaside that we know to be by the sea. The food was ok, the service was friendly and the restaurant was a big, cozy cabin. If you are driving by, cool, go in. But if you are near Seaside by the sea, then double check your distance before making the trek to this restaurant for mediocre food. read more

We love Camp 18! Everything we've ordered had been yummy, satiating and just all around solid. The service is always friendly, albeit slow sometimes. But, maybe that's good! What's the hurry!? The restaurant is absolutely beautiful. The log cabin ambiance reminds me of what it must have been like back in the logging days. I love the building. Solid, elegant and homey, at the same time. The Hot Beef Sandwich was served with zucchini and sweet potato fries (at my request). Down home delicious! My husband's streak was cook a perfect medium and flavorful. We both enjoyed our Valentines meal, very much! You won't be disappointed with Camp 18. read more

Very cozy and cute stop on our way from Portland to Manzanita. My cinnamon roll was delicious and absolutely massive. My husband and I both enjoyed our breakfasts and the vibe on a beautiful Saturday. read more

The restaurant itself was very cute-like a log cabin. The waitress was great and attentive, however the woman who sat me and then took my money was beyond rude. When I went to pay, she didn't say anything to me. Not a thank you, zero acknowledgement. The food was okay. I ordered biscuits and gravy and they came out lukewarm. I did go to the shop next door and those employees were so sweet and kind!! read more

Camp 18 Restaurant - Biscuits & Gravy - American Near Me - Seaside, Oregon

Stopped by for breakfast on a Wednesday morning a couple weeks ago on our way to Cannon Beach. Had not been in for about 5 years, so we were not sure what to expect. It was GREAT! Food tasted good, really friendly service and we did not have to wait. Really enjoyed it and we will definitely be stopping by again soon. Of course, like everywhere nothing is cheap anymore, but we feel like we got a really good breakfast! read more

Camp 18 Restaurant - Main dining area from loft - American Near Me - Seaside, Oregon

There's a few things I'll mention in this review. The cabin and restaurant itself is stunning. It's a gorgeous stop if you like the cabin vibe. There's a lot to see and enjoy if you like learning or viewing history. The food is where it gets choppy. I got the BLT, I know it's pretty basic but generally restaurants tend to make them better. This one was not it. It had one lettuce piece that was brown and rotten edged. It had one tomato in the center so a half slice of tomato per side. There were 3 pieces of bacon, one which was burnt and old. And the mayo had turned into some kind of rubbery slime texture. Overall not good at all! There was also a hair in my sandwich so I did not finish it. The staff was mediocre, they seem like they don't want to be there and are in general just sick of tourists or people. The waitress was nice enough but the lady at the "stump" was rude. She was snarky and made sure you knew how she felt. Get a job somewhere else. On the plus side there is cute cats roaming which is always a plus. Overall , if you absolutely need to stop I would. If you can make elsewhere that's what I suggest. read more

No one loves to prepare a Thanksgiving feast, so, when we saw that Camp 18 in downtown Elsie, Oregon was offering a Thanksgiving buffet with all the trimmings in that beautiful and wide-open yet cozy log cabin, Count me in! We made our table reservation months ago and all 6 of us are so glad we did! The humongous tray of white and dark turkey was tasty, moist and juicy. I smothered mine in a river of gravy while sided with cranberry and savory dressing. The generous slab of yummy roast beef was tender, flavorful and prepared perfectly. Our attentive table attendant took care of our drinks, cleared our plates and encouraged us to go back for more delights including the pumpkin pie and Marrion berry cobbler! She also took care of processing the payment and saving me a trip to the line at the stump! (payment counter) Count me in for the Easter buffet next year! read more

I dont get the 3.5 star rating. Its a busy restaurant in the middle of nowhere. Youre going to have to wait during rush hours. You have to go up to the cashier and ask to put your party in the queue if there is a line. The food is delicious and decently priced. Their is lots to look at and explore while you wait all over their lot. They even have a riber in the back and some nice places to take romantic photos. This place feels very country and I like it. read more

I Love Camp 18! Only had breakfast here but each time it's been enjoyable. The food is great with good size servings. The service is good and attentive. The atmosphere is incredible. Its like you are in a giant log cabin. There are also lots of cool things to look at outside and a cool gift shop. read more

Camp 18 is our Thanksgiving go to spot! They serve a wonderful and generous homestyle buffet. We love the ambience with the log cabin style decor and a huge cozy fireplace. The service is friendly. We like to pick up their giant cinnamon rolls for breakfast the next morning too. Great stopping point on the way to/from Seaside/Cannon Beach! read more

Stepping into this log cabin, surrounded by a dense forest, truly feels like a blast from the past. The place has character, from the charming gift shop to the historic sights around the property. Inside, the open and spacious layout, with its large tables, is perfect for hosting big groups. Service was friendly and helpful, though a bit busy during my midday visit. I had a 15-minute wait to be seated, which makes me think they could benefit from a counter or seating area for single diners. This would allow them to better utilize their larger tables for groups and families. Reading other reviews, I had a feeling the food might be bland, and unfortunately, my experience confirmed it. I ordered the house special kielbasa skillet, and while the presentation was appealing, the dish was disappointingly warm and lacked any real flavor. It's as if the ingredients--the kielbasa, potatoes, and vegetables--were simply warmed together without any spices or seasoning. This suggests a pattern of dishes being made quickly and without attention to taste, a consistent complaint I've seen in other reviews. I hope there are changes as I would enjoy returning with the family. read more

Have been here a few times in my life lol and well, it just never gets old! The Oregon history of the logging industry is captured beautifully and should never ever be forgotten- in my opinion.... The wait was not long, service was excellent, very busy but the young people working there were friendly and efficient. The grandbaby loved all the bear statues and trains, she left with a train whistle! Memories were made, tummies full, one happy family! Thank you! read more

Limiting my review to just the cinnamon roll, which is the whole reason that I come here. It's AMAZING. It's absolutely massive, gooey, and warm. Cost is $10, which is good value considering it can feed a family of 4. Ambiance also is really nice. Always on our stop between the coast and Portland. Got a drip coffee but the price seemed a bit steep at $4.50. That said, we'll be back for that delicious cinnamon roll. read more

My French dip was good but the beef broth was tasteless! They offered me another cup but it was exactly the same. I couldn't finish it. Plus our server was like a robot. No smile or asking how we were nor how or food was . I usually tip good if I get good service but I have as much as she gave in our service. I'll not be going back. It's expensive so think twice before going there. read more

Disappointed in the service. Pay attention to your food and bill and speak up early. They made multiple mistakes on our order and ended up overcharging us. The lumberjack burger, sweet potato fries, and regular fries were good. Side salad was nothing special. Ambiance was rustic and fun. read more

The good the food was really good. The service was alright although they were really kind they took a while to get me and my family's order and food so we had to wait there for about 30 minutes. The ambience was like everyone was having a great time but at the same time quiet because there weren't many there. read more

Everything! Great food and atmosphere. Family owned business as well. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone that loves great food and a cool looking log cabin type restaurant. read more

You have to visit this place. A great atmosphere and a timeless collection of logging machinery. The service was ok. Just ok. The food quality gets less year after year. The big biscuits are now small of course. And dry. No toast offered. The home potatoes are probably baked. No hashbrowns. Overall it's just a meeting place. Our party of six agreed the food is not good. But it's a cool building. read more

Wow what a gem! Been driving by this place for year on way to the beach. We decided to stop here for breakfast great choices on the menu. Nice cozy seating next to the fireplace place is nice all the way around and they have a great little gift shop. Waitress and staff were very attentive and their coffee is great! read more

Came in 14 minutes to closing, sat at the front for about 6 minutes then the server sat us with a passive statement about how they were trying to figure out if they were still open or not because they close in 2 minutes. Ugh no you close in 8 minutes I have a watch? Also why is there open sign on still if they didn't want to continue to seat people not only was the open sign on but there was another sign out front of the door hand written also said open? Felt super rushed and still left before the family there eating when we got there. The salad and onion rings were the best. Server had no knowledge of spirits behind the bar. The French dip reminded me of a pulled pork sandwich it was awful. The burger was not the best thing either. The salad was amazing, was confused why my shot came in this shot glass? I guess don't go close to closing read more

Food is always great. Lots of food for the price. You can buy 1 cinnamon roll that can feed 6. The pancakes were fantastic. Omelettes are good. So much to choose from too. Service great and it's set in a beautiful huge cabin, 18 miles from Seaside Oregon. read more

Nice service ok food. Ordered the combo breakfast with sausage, eggs, potatoes & biscuit. The sausage links were well cooked, the eggs were cooked well. The potatoes were undercooked; got a few that were browned, but most were under cooked. The biscuit was good, a little dense, but not dry. The service was fast and friendly. The atmosphere is really cool; very log cabin themed. Lots of fun stuff to look at. Great views! read more

Ew. I don't know what was nastier, the state of the bathrooms or the waitress's attitude. The food was bland, the bathrooms were disgustingly grimey, the waitress was slow and kept condescendingly calling me "hun." Don't get me wrong, sometimes "hun/honey/sweetie" can be incredibly endearing, but the snide look on her face and her tone made her intent clear- it wasn't friendly. She also kept complaining about the kitchen staff. I assumed I was just overthinking, so I put a smile on, brushed this off and didn't say anything. As we were walking out, my boyfriend commented about how unprofessional she was too though! I paid $12 for a soggy piece of toast and some bacon. My boyfriend's biscuits and gravy were decent and the view was lovely. The building itself is quite charming, but I wouldn't come back to be spoken to that way again. read more

Stopped in for breakfast, was busy but we were seated as quickly as stated, friendly staff, delicious breakfast; French toast, bacon, omelet and toast. A really nice stop for a bite to eat either going to the beach or coming home read more

This letter was sent to Camp 18 via "snail mail." I did not receive a response and sent requests via Facebook Messenger asking for a response to the letter. None was forthcoming. My last message asked for a reply, or I would put this letter on Yelp. Again, no reply. Here is the letter I sent: Camp 18 Gift Shop & Restaurant 42362 Highway 26 Seaside, OR 97138 ATTN: General Manager/Owner July 21, 2024 Today my wife and I arrived at your property at about 10:15 AM. We were seated within about 5-8 minutes. Our server met us soon after and brought us water. We were ready to order at that time and placed our order for chicken fried steak with eggs over easy and a kielbasa skillet with side order of sausage gravy. We also asked for a cinnamon roll "to go." My wife had water to drink while I had coffee. We watched people come into the restaurant after us, getting served their food while we waited for ours. One group of four people walked in at the same time we did. They were done with their meal and were at the cash register even before we had our food. At about 11:25 AM my wife was in the restroom and I was writing a note saying we were leaving and I was going to leave $10.00 for my cup of coffee. As my wife was walking back to the table, I was finishing up my note and our food arrived. I previously noticed our server was having difficulty with a large group at a table, apparently sorting out their bills, so I elected not to say anything at that time. Our server only said; "Sorry about the wait." She never came back to check on our breakfast, or offer my wife any more water. My chicken fried steak was hard and tough, appearing burnt. I could hit it with a fork and the fork bounced off. The easy over eggs were hard. The gravy was only warm. I did finally something hot, the potatoes under the chicken fried steak. My wife's skillet suffered from similar issues. The scrambled eggs on her skillet were dried out and hard. It appeared our breakfast had been sitting under some form of heat for quite some time, waiting to be picked up. We gave up and only ate about 1/3 of our meals. My protein was not really edible. When our server finally did come back and saw we were not eating she asked how our breakfast was? My wife had already advised me not to say what I thought. Her reply, after a delay was, an "OK" where her tone let you knew it wasn't really OK. Our server's response was she was sorry, and asked if she could bring us anything else. My wife said, no, that we were ready to leave. Our server completely forgot the cinnamon roll to go. We were ready to leave and did not mention it again. We had a long drive to get home. We decided to eat day old "Taco Bell" burritos and tacos on the way home instead of taking our leftovers with us. From our receipt: Table #33.1. Server 10001/AM Cash. Check#1338. Bill total $46.75. I left a $5.00 tip only because the cashier was watching me fill out the document. We have been to Camp 18 numerous times in the past when visiting my family on Hwy 26, just outside of Seaside. It has always been a treat for us. This time it was most definitely not the treat we had waited for. I don't intend to publish a poor review over one bad visit to Camp 18. The favor or your response is requested. read more

Camp 18 Restaurant - Cinnamon Roll at Camp 18. It takes up an entire dinner plate. - American Near Me - Seaside, Oregon

Not actually in Seaside, it's 18 miles (thus the name) up the highway towards Portland. If you've already left the coast and don't want to wait till you get to Hillsboro, which is a long drive, to eat, this is your only choice. And it's not a bad choice. It's a huge lodge-like restaurant with a basic American menu. You have the option of a starch side with your entree, and it also comes unannounced with vegetable, which in this case was green beans with a lot of bacon in them, quite delicious. So was my entree, which was breaded trout. Service was a little iffy. The waitress who seated me and took my order was competent but age had slowed down her response time and speed of comprehension. However, another younger and brisker waitress also showed up and took care of other things for me. read more

We stopped in here mid day for a late lunch. I don't have comment on the food because we were never actually seated. There were 3 parties ahead of us and 20 minutes later none of us had been seated. People just kept coming in but no one leaving. All we saw were tables full of people holding menus. I never really saw any staff except the lady at the hostess station and another lady walking around eating soup. 100% understaffed. No communication. We ended up leaving and eating at Sunset Highway Diner about 20 minutes saway read more

Service was great! Love the log cabin environment and lit fireplace. The cinnamon rolls are massive and delicious as well as the hot chocolate. The food was diner quality, so not a "knock your socks off" kind of food, but still great! Food is a bit pricey but its getting harder to find places that aren't. read more

Managed to get here before 2pm so they wouldn't be closed. The place was busy. The waitress seemed rushed and never smiled. The water is served in small cups, so we drained them quickly, and had to wait a long time before the waitress came by offering refills. The food took over thirty minutes to come out. It all tasted good though. I liked how the fries were crisp on the outside but soft on the inside. My partner liked my trout better than his burger, but the burger was good too. Their pancakes are plate size. My kid wants more than one if we come here again. Their pies are served in bowls because they have more filling that crust. For that reason and because they were overpriced, I likely won't order one again. Oh, and i wasn't impressed with the biscuit, so i will try cornbread next time. read more

Fun place to eat with simple wholesome meals offered. Breakfast menu served until 2pm. Service was great with just enough check ups to keep our table happy. Wife had the French dip with crunchy fries. I had the county steak (breaded portion of round steak) with mashed potatoes and gravy making everything happy! Log buildings are a work of art and the logging history is nice to share. We forget Oregon's trees farms are a huge source of our economy. read more
