Went here for dinner last night. I was very disappointed. I usually get the salmon but it's no longer on the menu. I decided to try the fish and chips. Terrible! The fish was like a flat piece of cardboard; it had no flexibility and no flavor. The "chips" or fries were just okay. For $10 I had a glass of wine - but it was less than 4 oz. The lady at the next table had a glass also but there was more wine in hers than in mine. I will not be eating here again read more

Decided to try out camp right side. While the atmosphere is fabulous and it would be great for family. The food is just not up to par. We were a little disappointed that we left the 20% tip only to find out that they only bring out the food, they don't fill or refill drink. They don't even come and check on you. The pricing was very high. It was $20 for a hamburger and french fry. We wouldn't be upset paying for that except for the food was mediocre at best. My chicken fried steak was burnt and flavorless and I also didn't appreciate how they put the green beans on top of the mashed potatoes and the chicken fried steak on top of that. I had to dig all my green beans out of the mashed potatoes. I did like the fresh charred green beans and the mashed potatoes. My husband had the fajitas and he said they were OK but definitely wouldn't want to come back again. I tasted his guacamole and it just tasted like lime. Maybe we will try them again in a few months. read more

Very disappointed. We drove out of our way to visit and were told dogs were not allowed even on the outside patio. We saw on multiple sites that pets were welcome and we were told they've been "trying to change it but can't". read more

I went for the first time today for lunch. Lived the food and atmosphere. Service was very good. I will definitely be going back for adult beverages and dinner. read more

Well, it's a Wednesday for lunch not crowded. Bartenders sat at the end of the bar and took pictures of phone stuff. Had to ask a random whoever if I could order. I had heard about this place and their service. So won't go back. It's sad because we totally support Georgetown's restaurant community. Go somewhere else. read more

We have visited Camp Bright numerous times on the weekends and everything has been great. Great location, Great service but what keeps this restaurant from being our number one go to is their lack of Brunch. We've started going elsewhere to fill that need. Lease reconsider doing brunch. Thank you read more

beware!!! not dog friendly!!!! asked to leave after we were told it was ok for dogs!!! very rude manager! will never return. read more

Food, service and ambience very good. Only criticism is parking lot. The stone they used gives off a white, chalky dust. No way to keep it out of your car! read more

Really really wanted to like this place, but unfortunately its just not for us. for most this is just a place for parents not to to parent. kids run wild and unattended. (all for fun but its like the family's just sit and booze it up and forget they brought their kids" food mediocre at best. wings were ok, Inside smells of greasy burger from the lack of ventilation. and each of the 3 times i have gone in the bathroom area has been lacking in attention, missing supplies, floor wet and just a mess. we drive by every day and its great they are doing well. just not a place ill go back to. read more

We've been here a couple of times. The food is really good. I like the atmosphere and the outdoor area. I would definitely recommend it.

Was there the first week they opened and my family had wonderful smash burgers. A week later they were off the menu. Place feels good accept for the trophies on the walls. Many people around us felt the same way. Staff is always nice. Service is average. Kids loved it! read more

Visited there Friday Sep 13th at about 1:30. First the Pros: 1. Camp Briteside (CB, I cant keep typing that name!) is on the far Northwestern edge of Georgetown, outside of the city limits, where neighborhoods are popping up everywhere and there is *nothing* out here (because I live out here) other than the Andice Store. So, the "Gold" team chose well. They converted a vacant warehouse that has served a few, short term businesses. 2. The refurb and layout reminds me of the many brew houses in Austin that caters to young families with young kids by building outdoor fun areas (eg., Celis Brewery). They then added a full restaurant/bar and can serve an even wider audience. 3. Its like 4 minutes from my house! 4. The staff was amazing (with one exception). 5. The food prices were slightly below what I was expecting, given this is the same bunch that owns The Golden Rule. Pricing seems to follow The Gold Burger Diner model. I would perhaps expect it to be lower than in town simply due to the fact that it is not in the City limits and subject to the ridiculous rents one sees around The Square. 6. Rueben the close manager is awesome. I was asking a hostess what our bar maids name was since the ticket only said "BAR" and that is when Rueben came over and we started talking. Great guy, very good presence, and he helped us out due to our server issues. The sign of great management is when the manager walks the floor, checking in on customers. Now some Cons: 1. Someone at the Gold company needs to brush up on their Internet presence. And no, it isn't expensive. CB has no venue webpage -- and I do not count a Facebook site as a web presence. Social media presence? Sure. Even The Gold Diner webpage still says "Coming in Spring 2024" LOL. 2. We were unfortunately seated at a table whose assigned server was out sick -- so we got one of the bar staff. The bar maid did not introduce herself, did not know the menu, and checked back once. This was while we watched other wait staff continually checking with their tables. Did I add that the bar maiden did not really know what off-menu beer she had on tap? Always ask for off-menu on-tap --- it is a good exercise. 3. Did I mention that our food came out late, was apparently sitting in the window to the point of my wife's bottom bun being completely soaked and spongy? That goes back to #2 above. 4. My personal opinion is the beer is a little overpriced and there are way too few taps - I was hoping this would be more like Mesquite Outfitters (which Gold owns) but sadly it is not. Sure domestics are cheaper, but for me that is not what beer is about these days. I'd say CB will struggle for just hanging out and having a large choice -- which one gets at MO. 5. Now the food. We only had the classic burger with fries. Honestly, the burger patty itself was not seasoned or well seasoned, just kind of ok. It is my guess that the angus patties are frozen/preformed and I am guessing are pre-cooked earlier then simply re-heated (a lot of restaurants do this, very common). Perhaps the owner will let us know. Picture attached. Oh, and the cheese was really not melted as one can see in the picture. 6. Our bar maid told us the seasoned fries came out of a bag (there is another story about that elsewhere on this site which will answer "why did you ask about the fries?") and they basically would know what they were made of when I asked her if she could ask the kitchen staff. I found that really odd. Then I did ask one of the food runners and he went and asked and the kitchen staff knew exactly what they were made of. Can't make this stuff up. Overall impression: CB is nicely done, well laid out, a nice addition to this forgotten part of Georgetown and we will be back. Sure, there are growing pains and I REALLY hope the owner pays attention to what I feel is a very honest and respectful review. CB appears to be ALWAYS busy (did I mention we live 4 minutes away?) which is likely a function of the fact that it is the ONLY place out here! CB is worth a revisit, plus it does mean not having to drive into town to go to Mesquite Outfitters - but dang, the selection! read more

Sadly disappointed today. Went to dinner with friends and raved about our experience back in October. Ordered margaritas...those were NOT margaritas. Sent them back and order very basic drinks. Again no alcohol. Guys beware they are watering down the drinks. Also food was subpar....so surprised as our meals last visit was wonderful. We had to ask 3 times for extra chips, charged for milk we never ordered and overall the experience was terrible. Do not recommend and so sad because we live so close and would love going back but between the service and food I'm not sure. They also need to improve options to reserve ahead of time. Not fair to families with young kids waiting for so long. I'd rather drive a way out to get reservations rather than deal with the wait. read more

We went last night(Friday) for the first time. When we pulled up the parking lot was full so we expected a wait which was fine since you can get drinks outside while you wait and the kids can play. The problem was after we sat. It took forever to get our drinks, our appetizers and dinner. Finally, after waiting for over an hour for our dinner we asked to take them to go since our kids were all losing their minds. The food we did get to eat there was served cold so it had been sitting around and our beers were warm. Not sure we will ever go back for dinner but maybe for the live music and to let the kids run for a bit. read more

Excellent food, excellent service. The Westside Chicken Sandwich is probably the BEST chicken sandwich that I have ever had in my life. The fries were extra crispy. Will definitely be going back. read more

Awesome location outside of town. Great for the team get aways! It probably can be hot in the summer.

Initial visit earlier in the week to test internet connection & environment. A+ Service from Steve BT was awesome. A+ 2nd visit for to go order...Speedy A+ CFS Corn and Fries A+ Gaby & Steve BT servers A+ Atmosphere +A My home town since 1972, traveled the world, and this is home and happy to take business and family to this place of enjoyment. -Teddy V read more

The service was great. Food was good too/ loved the Brussels sprouts! The atmosphere is bright and airy. We will be back.

The new menu is nothing but fried foods. The waitstaff has all been let go, due to the changes in food delivery. Now they give you a number and bring your food to you. The bartenders are slow and don't pay attention to you. Kids running around out of control everywhere. The food was served cold and lacked any creative flavors. We were really praying that it would have been a better concept with foods and drinks to desire. But sadly they have fallen flat. Last thing, it seems like the management there is not concerned with customer service. He was too busy on his phone to even take care of any of the guest. So I did not want to interrupt him with a valid complaint about the food. We will not be back. DO BETTER! It seems like they are struggling to even stay open out there. Any time we go there or drive by the place is empty. Oh well HEB is coming soon right down the road. At least they will have some good options in that area for patrons to eat at. read more

This place has a great atmosphere! I love the camp theme of everything. Service was great and food came out fast. However, the food was underwhelming. Not much flavor going on with the queso or mac & cheese. Would definitely go back for drinks and hanging out or to catch a game! read more

Been a few months since back here. Found that the menu has changed. The cauliflower dish was removed...waitress said it was too much work for the kitchen to keep it going. Now it's pretty much a burger and beer place (and still too noisy to have a conversation with your dinner party). Good luck with that. read more

Great to have something in this area of town and lots of potential with the activities . However, there really needs to be some staff responsible for overseeing the activities as clearly many parents go to drink/socialize and absolve themselves of any responsibility for their kids behaviors, to include damaging the equipment ( I observed kids playing in the rocks/dirt using the restaurant dishes/flatware and others using the ping pong paddles as shovels which explains why the ping pong paddles are in bad shape). Balls being thrown in the direction of people sitting at picnic tables, etc. This was written after my 3rd visit there, so was not an anomaly. read more

Been here twice and not impressed at all. Besides being a lil pricy the food here is not that good, and from within my friends I am not alone in this assumption. I had the wings first time. I had to send them back because they were bone dry. Second time I had a burger. I felt there was no flavor to it and it was over cooked. The fries were good though. From my friends and other ppl I talked to there are a couple of things good but it's a crap shoot. The menu has a good concept, they just need a chef that can actually pull it off. My main issue is there are too many teens working here that actually wanna work and not have social hour or actually give a crap. Example, the 2nd time I was there I was at the bar. My girlfriend ordered shrimp avocado something. It is served in a hot cast iron skillet. The girl that brought the food out squeezed between us and burned me with the skillet. She looked at me and said nothing. Not I'm sorry, are you ok or even kiss my a**. Luckily the bartender saw this, and I few moments later I saw him reading her the riot act. Overall unless someone is having a BDay get together I won't be making any special trips. read more

Got a carry out burger. Burger was good size but a little bit too salty fries were just OK but nice to have a decent place to go eat out here in the boonies. read more

Amazing experience. Food is top notch and drinks are fantastic. Honestly the best burger I've had in the area. The burgers are smash style with a little crisp, which is amazing. White cheddar cheese sauce. The environment here is unmatched for families. HUGE outdoor turf area with a wiffle ball field, corn hole, and live music stage. This place is one of a kind and will end up being a treasure in this community. read more

We went for our first time the other day, and absolutely loved this place! The atmosphere is fantastic! Fun, clean, very spacious. I love the outside area. Our food was terrific! I had the chicken sandwich, and it was excellent. The rest of our group had burgers and said they were great! The servers were very accommodating and friendly. We will definitely be making this a regular family outing place to eat! read more

The ambiance is amazing and the ability for the kids to run around and play within eye sight is great!

Just went to the "revised" Camp Briteside (July 11) a favorite ( no more) restaurant near our Georgetown neighborhood. What a disappointment. Menu changes , food not up to previous standards, burger so salty it was hard to eat. Green beans so undercooked I couldn't eat them. Dry dense mashed potatoes...Drinks filled to brim with ice took two sips and it was almost gone for $11. Took to bar thinking bartender would do something but I guess she doubled down and said it was made as usual. Manager I voiced my disappointment to (about menu items I loved are now gone) said the changes are meant to streamline service but we never felt service was lacking before. Our experience tonight seems to scream cutting corners to save $$. AND no servers!!! What? To pay the prices they charge and have to go order yourself now as you enter , get your own bar drinks, waters etc... not something we want when going out! Why, oh why, did you change a good thing into a bad thing? Sadly we will not be returning... read more

Camp Brightside has a really cool ambiance and is an awesome concept, very family friendly BUT the food is just okay and very overpriced. Also, the service is just sub par. It would be a fun place to go and get a drink at but it is just overpriced and mediocre in my opinion. read more

Was there last week and loved it! Atmosphere was great, food, drink and service all top notch. Going there again tonight!

Food & service was outstanding. What a great place for friends and families to hang out. Highly recommended!

I am editing my review because the manager stopped by to talk to us, apologized for the server's behavior and took care of us. They were short staffed and our server was the bartender. However, for a bartender, she didn't know what beers were on tap. We will come back and give them another try, but only because of the manager, the hostess and the young man who brought out our food - all of whom apologized for our server and for the way my gluten free option was prepared. If our next visit goes better, I will adjust my review and rating. So far, as a person with a gluten sensitivity, I'm not impressed. Their menu clearly states to "please inform your server if any food allergies or restrictions". So, I asked our waitress if the fries had a coating on them and her reply was 'I don't know, look at the customer's plate next to you'. So my husband asked if she could go ask the kitchen if the fries had a coating and her response was 'they don't know - it comes in a bag' Don't tell me to inform you if you can't tell me which food I can't have. Not a gluten-free friendly place. I can't imagine what they tell people with other allergies. When my burger was delivered on on a gluten free bun (they don't have a lettuce wrap option) the bottom bun was so soggy that it broke into 3 pieces and I had to eat it upside down using only the top bun. I don't expect restaurants to make special accommodations for my gluten issues, but if you offer an option, make an effort to prepare it right. Or offer lettuce wraps, they're less expensive and a lot of people are watching their carbs these days. Waitress seems completely distracted and uninterested in our table. read more

Just ok. Food just ok. Venue just ok. Not close to us, long drive from Georgetown proper. Won't make the trip again. Disappointing.
