I've only been here for drinks in mid-March so I can't comment on the food. Located in the Stella hotel, this is a spot that has the look of an elegant upscale spot. With that look comes upscale prices. You'd think the prices would match the experience but as with most hotel restaurants, they do not. Don't get me wrong, there's plenty of food and drink options here and some deliver such as the Pine & Petal cocktail which is as pretty as it is tasty with the hibiscus, pineapple, mint and lime mixed with buffalo trace. And I enjoyed the Walt Blue Jay Pinot Noir which was a generous pour delivered. As for service, it's the definition of inconsistent. When I sat down, they greeted me within a couple minutes and poured my wine immediately and let me sip it in peace. So far so good. But when I finished, they approached and asked me if I'd like another drink which I replied about the Pine & Petal cocktail. They put it in and then the bartenders go to some other guests and chit chat about some contest they are setting up with the soda gun and building some paper boat to float down it with the person building the best paper boat getting a prize. I'm sitting there thinking are they gonna make my drink or do I have to remind them again? So they organize this contest with about 4-5 participants and then crown the winner. As they're celebrating, the bartender comes back and asks me what'd I'd like to order. I'm definitely a bit peeved since this was roughly 15 minutes after I had asked them to make the Pine & Petal cocktail. So mentioned that I ordered that cocktail a while ago. The bartenders realized their error and made the drink and decided not to charge me for it. While I appreciate the no charge, having the attentiveness to make the drink instead of focusing on the paper boat contest would've been more sufficient. Especially given the reviews commenting about customer service. Should I stay at the Stella again, I may venture here to try the other cocktails. But I'll probably just order one and be done with it. read more

My partner and I dinned here last month. I had been looking forward to trying their roasted chicken with mustard sauce. The chicken was dry, flavorless, and disappointing. It came with roasted potatoes and brussels sprouts. The potatoes were flavorless and the brussel sprouts were burnt. It was definitely NOT worth the price. The service was a 7/10. Our waiter took my glass for a refill and never came back. He was very friendly. Ambiance was 10/10. It was a beautiful dinning space. Very relaxing and peaceful. I will more than likely not go back to Campfire. read more

Campfire Restaurant - Beer Brined Half Chicken - New American Near Me - Bryan, Texas

No reservations needed on a Sunday at 1230 but service help is definitely needed. 20 minutes to order then 20 more minutes for the food to arrive that's stating that the salad, the appetizers and the main course all came out simultaneously. Harvest salad was a good size and tasty, Brussels sprouts were heavily saturated and didn't have any taste of the jalapeño and lastly the chicken sandwich needed a little more chicken to bread ratio. They must've been short staff as the manager/supervisors were behind the bar and didn't seem to happy to there. read more

Cute restaurant in the area. Definitely recommend braised beef. Good amount of tendon and fat weaving inside the lean fiber. Good balance of flavor. Cocktails are more on the alcoholic side Really interesting flavor for the smores. Really smart way of reinventing the smell and taste read more

For an $80 steak it was well done not med well...which wasn't a huge deal but it also had ZERO flavor. So the did the "Parmesan fries", it was just boring fries. Our waitress was great. Otherwise for the price it wasn't worth it, even tho I love the lake walk. For the price of food it should be way way better I wouldn't go here again. read more

My son is a student at Texas A&M, and I LOVE staying at the Stella Hotel. Campfire is the hotel restaurant, but it doesn't *feel* like a hotel restaurant. It has great food and an excellent vibe. You wouldn't know you were in a hotel if you didn't have to actually go to the hotel to get there. :) Bar service is always great, there is usually no wait, and the food is excellent. read more

I gave this restarant 2 stars. Because the customer service was very poor. One of the waiter was nasty. And the food was not that good. Meal came up to 76 dollars for 2 sandwich and 2 drinks wine and a regular mix drink. Food way over priced. The ambience was beautiful. But would not recommend this place read more

It started off weirdly with the host/hostess asking "what brings you here?" My reply was "to get a table and dine...?" I suppose I said my reply in a tone that ruffled the hostess/host feathers cause as we walked to a table we engaged in a passive aggressive back and forth about what would make me happy in a seating location by the host/hostess and what makes more sense for the house in my retorts. With the introduction of our server things got better quickly, she expertly walked us through the menu, highlighting her favorites and the changes for the fall. She was great. The table decided on brussels, brisket meatballs, cheddar biscuits (featuring honey) and a 10 oz strip with frites. The food was good, brussels were served hot, crisp, yet tender and had the perfect balance of sweetness and saltiness. Sadly this was the only dish served at an appropriate temperature. Must have been a mixup in back of house with firing the apps and entrees. The meatballs while again good, smoky, sweet and spicy were room temp. One of the biscuits was hot the other lukewarm warm. Those are excellent too, I taste bacon fat in the batter I'll bet you a shot of blantons I do. The $50 steak, while cooked to the right temp, it was served lukewarm. The garlic frites, were seasoned to perfection and the horseradish aioli provided a great spicy tartness to the protein. We returned later that evening and decided to have drinks at the restaurant bar. The micro aggressions from one of the bartenders really put a damper on the evening, that could be overcome by expertly crafted well balanced drinks that she failed to deliver on. I mean if you are going to me, and only me to leave a credit card or pay for a drink after my order, not any of the white folk at the bar, but my black ass you trippin'. And I was the only one at the bar actually staying on the property...you trippin" I don't recommend anyone with melanin visit the camp fire bar, Hershel's was more accommodating and a comparable spirits collection. I don't know if all are managed by the same group but the vibes are totally different. read more

Campfire Restaurant - Avocado toast and oatmeal...we added eggs to both - New American Near Me - Bryan, Texas

What a great find! Looking for unique breakfast (not just same old chain) and was not disappointed. Excellent food. Great service. And a very pleasant setting. Nice to see such places here. read more

The braised beef chilaquiles exceeded my expectations. The espresso martini was good too. Kind of disappointed with the kids meal as it was fast food quality not the quality you expect from a restaurant. We sat at the patio and enjoyed the atmosphere as it was intimate and quiet (the inside was booked with graduation parties). Service was good. The restaurant is attached to the Stella Hotel. read more

Ate here two times during a recent stay at the Stella and had cocktails twice. All times were exceptional. Great service, fabulous food and drink. I especially recommend the biscuits on the breakfast menu and the salmon brunch dish. Paola and Connor were both excellent servers and the bartenders were all great. It's got a modern ambience, and casual dress is ok. read more

If I could give this restaurant negative stars I would. We were in town for an A&M visit and given my boyfriend is a Marriott Titanium Elite status Marriott member, thought we couldn't go wrong based on Marriott's impeccable service. This was the worst Marriott & dining experience of my life. It started with a wait to sort out the two people we were adding to our 3 party reso - 10 min to sort out our table in an empty restaurant. We were advised 20% gratuity is automatic for parties of 5 or more. That's fine. We ordered the street corn appetizer which ironically the bartender said earlier was 'fire' but was delivered cold. Our meals (again in a not fully booked restaurant) took over an hour to arrive. The friend we were with immediately noticed her 'medium' filet was rare and could have walked off the plate. This was sent back and replaced. Our redfish was charred and overcooked - barely edible but with one complaint already we chose not to make a scene and ruin the evening. Then our daughter bit into her pork chop and the meat was so tough she had to chew it extensively to be able to swallow it. Again - I would have made a scene at this point, but in an effort not to embarrass our daughter and friend we just met, I bit my tongue. The bill arrived and although we were advised they could not split the tab, we expected to be able to advise on a dollar amount to put on one card versus the other. We were told only an even split was possible due to policy. This left us having our friend Venmo us and we put it on our card. Oh - and the tip was 21% not 20% - just one more final dig. PS casamigas is $21 per drink - my advice: go to the Dixie Chicken where Casamigas is $7.75 and they have one of the best burgers you will ever eat. A $40 dining experience to die for compared to this atrocious $300+ experience. Oh - did I mention the entire hotel is out of hand soap due to a supply chain issue??!! We check out tomorrow and I can't get out of this hotel quickly enough. Marriott - do better. read more

I use to love coming to eat at Campfire, but with the menu change it is just so basic now. I feel like the previous Chef put more creativity into each dish read more

It was a lovely atmosphere. The food was great! Our server, Oscar was great!!! If we came here again we would request Oscar. Thank you Campfire! read more

Always good! Great steak and drinks and hospitality. Nice fire pit outside in the winter and fully equipped bar. read more

This place was great. Nash was our server and he did a great job with informing us about menu items and drinks. It was such a welcoming atmosphere and a great date spot. We had the red fish and a chicken Caesar salad, Brussel sprouts, macaroni, and split the banana foster bread pudding. There was not one thing we would have changed and we will definitely be visiting again. read more

Amazing service and amazing food!! Their shrimp appetizer was probably the best shrimp platter I've ever had. Could have that as a meal! Also the s'more dessert was amazing!! I keep thinking of it read more

Okkkk. I went here on Friday and they said as of a few days ago they have a new executive chef who has put his spin on the menu. By that did they mean ridiculously expensive for a hotel restaurant?? No entree was less than $30 and the shareable sides will run you an easy $15 per side. The service was slow and not as attentive as I hoped for the prices you're paying. And btw if you have a party that's big enough where there will be gratuity, it's 21% and they don't split checks. Ambiance is nice but really disappointed their menu is more expensive and less diverse now. read more

Campfire Restaurant - Wedge salad ($15) and side of chicken ($8) - New American Near Me - Bryan, Texas

The service here is amazing!!! We had such an attentive waiter towards the beginning but it did drop off towards the middle of the meal. Things that were requested never came such as condiments for burgers. We ordered the burger and chicken sandwich that had good flavor but the bottom buns were soggy upon arrival. The biscuits and jam are so amazing, and the dining room and outdoor area has great views and a pleasant ambiance! read more

For a $25 Caesar salad this is gross. The chicken is for sure boiled, then grilled which is ridiculous for what is supposed to be a higher end restaurant. Although, the fries are very good. I wouldn't go back for more over priced food. The salad at chick fila is by far better than this. Save 30 bucks. read more

Campfire Restaurant - Texas Cesar, French fries, grilled chicken - New American Near Me - Bryan, Texas

I would honestly give Campfire 6 stars if possible. Amazing venue, fantastic service, food is very high quality. Ate dinner last night, breakfast this morning and both meals were extremely high quality. Try roasted chicken, ribs or the beef roast for dinner. All very good! Highest quality all around. Most definitely RECOMMEND Campfire and the Stella Hotel. read more

I've gone twice and enjoyed my experience and food the first time. I had the duck and soooo good. The 2nd time I went, they changed their menu like 60-80%.. they didn't have the duck anymore but the food I did get sufficed. read more

Decided to eat at Campfire this morning for breakfast. I ordered the eggs, sausage, potatoes, and toast. The nice gentleman that waited on me suggested the sourdough bread toast. Man, was it good. He gave really excellent service. I will be back. Just a really good experience! Thank you! read more

This place is beautiful and cozy, the staff is so sweet and helpful. The food was so good and a good portion for the price! Highly recommend

I come to the Stella about 10 times per year for home football games and other engagements with the university. Consistently the bar and wait staff are just plain awful. It's the same people I watch standing around and pretending I'm not looking at them. It's like they've been trained to actually slow down serving people. The bar is consistently like this every time I come. The restaurant has other problems. Food is great, if it ever comes. The servers are constantly clarifying and apologizing for being in the weeds. It's everybody's first day, every day. Today we counted apologies at 14 over 90 min. The manager needs to be tuned up. Completely not present. read more

We just went here on a Saturday night to grab a cocktail and walk around lake way. I got an Irish coffee that tasted great! When it got cold they happily put it unto a new cup with ice and it became an iced coffee! We also ordered French fries that were perfectly crispy and came hot and under 5 minutes! The service was amazing and everyone was so friendly! We loved that we could sit by the fire or cuddle up on a couch outside. We will definitely be coming back! read more

We were in the area, so we decided to give this place another try. This time we were helped quickly by the hostess stand, and when we were seated (again in the bar area), someone quickly came to take our order. We were checked on several times throughout our stay. We just had drinks and dessert, which were very good, so I am not sure about the food, but I think we will be back. read more

The tomato and okra salad was very fresh and light. I thought it tasted really good. The meatballs were a little dry and I would have preferred a little more bbq sauce but they were flavorful. Service was great! read more

Campfire Restaurant - Texas BBQ Meatballs Heirloom Tomato & Okra - New American Near Me - Bryan, Texas

This place had great servers and staff. It's also a nice place for a date; I enjoy the ambiance and the cleanliness. The cocktails were good, albeit pricey. My reason for giving it 3 stars instead of 4 or 5 is the lack of a good vegetarian dinner entree. Not everyone wants to devour a carcass at every meal. The chef was willing to create a vegetarian dish but it was very basic pasta with vegetables - something I could easily make at home for a fraction of the price. I'll certainly be back because it's one of the few date night restaurants nearby but I'm hoping the menu evolves slightly to allow for better/any non-meat entrees. read more

Came in for a quick lunch in between conference sessions. The restaurant was dead-- 3 other tables with no more than 3-4 patrons per table. My friend and I ordered a cheese burger and a Cobb salad. It took 35 minutes to get the salad and 45 minutes to get the cheese burger. We ended up just packing everything to go. Our waiter was sweet and refunded part of our meal, but the kitchen service was abysmal. The food is decent, but it was absurdly slow. read more

They changed the menu and prices went up. Really disappointed as I stay at the hotel that the restaurant is in multiple times a quarter. Not sure what they were thinking with getting rid of so many good dishes, shrinking the overall offerings, and increasing prices while reduce the amount of food for an entree. Entrees used to come with at least one side and now you have to order sides separately at a cost of about half that of an entree. Quality has also changed and I've given up and eat outside of the hotel now. Used to be my spot while in College Station but not any more. read more

I would give this place zero stars if I could. I took my 19-year-old daughter here because this is was where she want to go for her birthday. I also took my other daughterm my grandson and another friend . We had reservations, and when we arrived, we gave the hostess our name. We requested a booth. A black lady came up who acted like she was in charge, and was talking to the hostess. Then black lady then said " Do you have a problem with the bill being all on one check? " I have no idea why I would ask this question. is this something new to ask your customer or is this something they only do at the campfire restaurant? We were then asked to follow the hostess who said we've got something like a booth, if you don't like it we'll see if we can do. She then escorted my party of five people to a round table. I don't know what a round table and booth have in common But I guess they're considered the same thing at the campfire restaurant. again it was my daughters birthday and did not want to causes a scene. Even though there was no less than five booths surrounding this table. And only two of those boots were used by other parties the entire time we were there. The waitress was very nice, and we ordered Appetizers and then our main courses. The food was average at best. And the prices were outrageously high for the quality of food received. The only saving grace was the waitress and the dessert she brought out for my daughter for her birthday. If you want fine dining go to Christopher's World Grille or The Republic. And if the black lady at the hostess of stand is there front of the house manager, it's a wonder anybody eat there. Of course there weren't many people there, and those that were there were sitting at the bar.Mark my words it won't last another year or two.... Don't waste your money nor your time going to this place! You've been warned! read more

The food was good but it wasn't anything to write home about. The ambiance was nice and so was the customer service. Joslyn was great!

Fun place to sit outside and have brunch. Always love the menu. We like the waffles and the omelet especially. The service is good as well, nice staff. It is a bit expensive but fun for a treat. read more

I had the waygu burger, it was pretty good. Since I was staying in the hotel for work I just came down and picked it up. Would be a cozy little place to have a nice date. Seemed fairly quiet and had a good drink menu. I would recommend the dining options if you are in the BCS area. read more

Campfire Restaurant - New American Near Me - Bryan, Texas

My favorite spot in college station! It's located on the first floor of the Stella hotel and has an incredible outdoor seating space. Perfect for lunch or dinner with a great selection of unique spins on traditional entrees. It's also located right next to a beautiful lake and coffee shop so you can relax and enjoy the day after the meal. Great for dates and business lunches. read more

Carmelized Cauliflower- delicious as a side or starter. Great flavor. Cooked with a nice crunch. Would absolutely recommend Roasted beet salad- I swapped the bleu cheese for goat and it was still just as flavorful. Add shrimp as a nice kick to protein but not at all overpowering to the actual salad Redfish- my date described it as delicious and perfectly cooked. Not dry but also not undercooked. He would order again Charcuterie board (to-go) presentation was very appeasing. The flavors included were eclectic but complimentary Texas heat-great drink! Fun combination of flavor for tequila. Well done Texas :) Port: Ruby and Tawny both sweet and a good end to a meal. The tawny is better in my opinion. Not too candy sweet but still salacious Taylor, Morgan, Mikaela, were our servers on two separate occasions. All very sweet girls, great service, very knowledgeable of the menu and incredibly friendly. The service is what made took this from 4 to 5d stars Looking forward to returning! read more
