Had a great late breakfast. The staff was very nice and pleasant along with the delicious omelette that I had. The restaurant was beautiful. Loved all the details. Next time I'm going to check out the outdoor Museum. Had a very nice chat with the owner. Definitely go come back read more

We drive past by here all the time on the way to and from the coast and finally decided to stop in for lunch around 1pm on a Friday. I will say that the location was super convenient for this business and it was cool to see the old logging equipment, the stream, the spacious outside patio, and the parking lot had big spaces set up for big RVs for the camping crowd. The inside had decorations for fall and a fun and cozy cabin feel. They also had a gift shop attached and 2 cute cats just hanging out and napping. With that said, I called before we got here to make sure their patio was open for dining since we had our dog with us. They said we can sit outside with our dog. When we got there, I checked in the hostess and he had to double check with maybe the waitress or manager before he sat us outside with menus. We waited over 15 minutes to get waters and our orders taken but no one came. So I went inside with my 2 little kids and let him know that no one came and if I can order with someone inside instead. Our waitress happens to be passing by and she finally took my order then. Food didn't take too long to get to us but our order was incomplete at first and she did not check in on us again for the rest of the meal after that. My daughter was missing part of her order even at the time when we went in to pay. There was another table that was seated outside after us with a dog and they got faster and better service with a different staff. I was honestly so disappointed in that experience and will likely not return because of that. We did enjoy our food of Country Fried Steak with flavorful gravy and creamy mashed potatoes. My Beef and Cheddar melt was tender and filling with the Au jus and crispy seasoned fries. And we could see why the giant cinnamon roll was $10. It was soft, gooey, and the perfect sweet treat to go with black coffee. If the service was better I would have added a star to my rating for sure. The only thing they have going here is their location and atmosphere, sadly the terrible disappointing service was not worth coming back to give their food another chance for me. You can come and decide for yourself. read more

A fun and filling pit stop between Portland and the coast! Lots of cool historical photos and tchotchkes. A bunch of old logging equipment and train cars to see scattered around outside. Clean bathrooms and a good place to stretch your legs after a long drive or a hike. I got the bowl of clam chowder and not only was it delicious but it was HUGE!! I had enough to eat 3 portions and the leftovers heated up surprisingly well. Their dinner salad was also large and the veggies were fresh. The only reason why this is not 5 stars is my husband asked for his steak medium rare but it was well done. We didn't complain tho so that's on us. I think if you stick to the simpler dishes it's fine for what it is (it's not a steakhouse). Portions were massive! Friendly and attentive service. We got our drinks refilled, checked on the appropriate amount of times, even a few jokes. We noticed all kinds of cool birds visiting the outdoors as we sat by the window. read more

Yum yum yum. Came for the cinnamon roll and some bottomless coffee - delicious. Every time we're here we get the cinnamon roll and it's always consistently good. Gooey, buttery/sugary, warm, and massive. Cost is $10. Staff were great. We'll be back! read more

I love this place. Perfect road trip stop on the way to the northern Oregon Coast. I stopped in and got a cinnamon roll and coffee to-go. Cinnamon roll is as big as your head with flavor to match! Coffee was hot and delicious with a self-serve cream/sugar bar. read more

food was great atmosphere was great service was slow. We had time to hang out and play games that we brought and just enjoyed the vibes looking out the window, watching all the birds and squirrels. We will be back.. read more

Camp 18 Restaurant - bird feeders - American Near Me - Seaside, Oregon

Beautiful place, good food. my daughter loved the trout. It was the perfect spot to stop after a long camping trip

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

Great service, wonderful food & very generous portions. We always stop going to the beach & coming home

Stop here if you need to, but if you can wait until the coast or Portland, then I'd skip. The ambiance is great, like being in a cozy log cabin. Staff was lovely and attentive, but the food was mediocre and bland. The hot chocolate was huge, and very sweet (but you get a refill). That was at least worth the money. read more

The food was amazing. The service was amazing. The atmosphere was very unique. Loved the gift shop, lots of cool pictures around the property. The cinnamon roll was huge and the food was hot and so tasty! Hence the half eaten breakfast picture, we were hungry read more

Camp 18 has been a family stop for us for many years going back to fishing trips on a charter on the coast with my father as well as weekenders on holidays in Seaside. when just a lad! Now 80 y/o. This particular restaurant is Located near mile marker 18 and with old dilapidated antique logging equipment sitting on the outside exposed to the elements.. Our trips to seaside were always enjoyable for family too and might I mention our Breakfast time at camp 18 was the height of our enjoyment? I have some pleasant memories from camp 18 so 5 stars*****! read more

Camp 18 Restaurant - American Near Me - Seaside, Oregon

So let's start with saying the ambiance is awesome. You're basically dining in a big log cabin and they have old trains, and machinery all over as decoration outside with plenty of parking for rvs or trailers. Theres a walking trail to walk down to the creek too. It's a must stop at least once. Very cool! Kinda like a cabin resort. The food however is not great. It's not bad, but mediocre at best. The service is also not very good. There was a hispanic or latina lady that just seemed very unhappy/snappy with us the entire time. My sister asked where the restroom was and she's like "I'm a little busy right now" with attitude lol. Maybe they're underpaid or she was having a bad day idk they are in the middle of nowhere. But I think the atmosphere is awesome and no other place like it. read more

I got the hamburger and my husband got the fish and chips. I got a basic burger, but the meat tasted as if it was local and very fresh. The service was good and the weight staff was communicative. The ambience was fun. Lots of historical things to look at inside and out. Fun spot. read more

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 always stop in for breakfast on our way home. Our family loves it here. Always great service and great food. 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 wish I loved it, but I didn't. The food is just so so, even when I put to the side the fact that I bit into my sandwich and got a mouthful of bread tie... they took $10 off for that but it put a bad taste in my mouth (literally and figuratively). Unless you're really hungry, this spot is a skip for me. The woman at the register really struggled to make change and I had to wait at the register for her to come and help me for a few minutes while they all just stood in the kitchen talking about school and stuff. It is fun to watch the birds at the feeders and walk around a little bit. read more

I've always wanted to stop at Camp 18 Restaurant on my way to the beach, and I'm so glad we finally did! We stopped in and had the Lumberjack Burger, and it did not disappoint. The staff was courteous, friendly, and timely, and the atmosphere was such a fun experience. Dining inside the rustic wood cabin really adds to the charm, and there is so much to admire and take in throughout this historic restaurant. Camp 18 is more than just a place to grab a bite--it's an experience! If you're traveling to the coast, I highly recommend making the stop. You won't regret it! read more

Atmosphere great! Food LOUSY!! We used to come here on a monthly basis for breakfast and enjoyed a great meal. Things have certainly changed over the last few years. We went for breakfast about 3 years ago and couldn't believe how bad the food was and decided to take a break. Maybe they had a bad day. Today we tried again and YUCK!!! I had a Denver omelet. The egg was like rubber wrapped around RAW VEGETABLES WITH CLUMPS OF CHEESE. The potatoes were cold like they came out of a bag of FROZEN potatoes and not heated properly. I'll give them credit for the coffee. That was very good. My husband had biscuits and gravy. The gravy was like glue without a hint of meat flavor on substandard biscuits. I tried his sausage and it was old tasting and couldn't finish more than a bite. I'm so disappointed. We used to look forward to our breakfast outings there, NOT ANYMORE SADLY. It's an awesome atmosphere and the service was good , Just watch out for the food. read more

Food was not great, but price was okay and sizes were decent. Service was good, ambiance was the only redeeming factor. Loved the bird and squirrel feeders and all the cool wood art, old tools and equipment 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

This place was amazing, so glad we decided to stop here on the way back to Portland. The food was great, service was great and friendly and the restaurant is just awesome. The decor is all about old time logging it has a nice display of old logging equipment throughout the parking lot and you can walk around outside and go down to the creek. Don't think twice about stopping here. 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.

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

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

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

The food was excellent and the surroundings were an experience all by themselves. Love all the old equipment on display and the chainsaw sculptures. The center beam on the building is amazing! We had the biscuits and gravy combo with the pot of coffee. I love that I could refill my cup as soon as it was empty. We will definitely go there again. 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

The rudest girl on check in ever. I was blown away but her lack of professionalism. I was with my child and to be treated in that way was shocking. After being treated so poorly - I'm not American so perhaps she doesn't like foreigners - I left after waiting for my table for 20 minutes because I decided after much thought that no where merited my business after such treatment and waiting another 3" minutes wasn't worth it. I'm always unclear as to why restaurant owners/managers designate angry people haters to the people-facing roles. read more
