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

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

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

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

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

Camp 18 Restaurant - American Near Me - Seaside, Oregon

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

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

They have a great pet friendly patio. The food was great, awesome Marion Berry syrup for my waffle!! Easy to access when leaving the coast back to Portland. 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

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

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

High priced fast food that doesn't even come out fast. They could do so much better :(

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

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

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

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

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

Fun spot, lots to see. Could spend at least an hour looking around. Food was fine, nothing spectacular. Worth a stop if you are driving through. 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

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

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

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

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

Camp 18 Restaurant - Camp 18 omelet - 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

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

We went there for dinner a few weeks ago and it was terrible. Liver and onions were dried up and my country fried steak was burned. Went there this morning for breakfast and it was worse. Got 2 eggs, bacon and sausage and biscuits and gravy. The bacon and sausage were burnt and the biscuits and gravy I would not even serve to my dogs just a runny mess with no taste to it. Canned sausage and gravy is better. Tried to give this place another chance after not being to it for a few years when it was bad and now they have gotten worse. Do not understand how they are getting 4 or 5 stars but I think its the liberals from Portland that are doing this. We live out in the country and expect better food. 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

Such a fun place with lots to see inside and out. And a bonus--the food and service are great! It was our first time and we will definitely be back. read more

I have been going for years and lately I have been disappointed. The razor clams are good but over priced compared to other restaurants. Trout sometimes it's good and sometimes not depending on the chef that day. Same as breakfast omelettes. If you get a bad chef, the eggs taste like they came out of a can. The wine is always a poor choice. 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

Camp 18 Restaurant - Breakfast combo - American Near Me - Seaside, Oregon

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.

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
