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

Food was fantastic and our service was excellent. There were 3 of us and everyone's meal was delicious. I wasn't sure what the other reviewers meant by "the view", but the ambiance was spot on. read more

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

Visited briefly looking for something sweet. Found $10.00 worth of heaven. Chocolate cake, chocolate frosting, dried bananas & bits of popcorn with a banana cream ice cream. Yum! read more

All I had here were the french fries but they were so good! Our service was pretty good too and the decor is really nice

I came here for brunch and ordered the chicken and waffles. I felt disrespected when my dish came out because the breading on the dry chicken breast was falling off. The nashville sauce was spicy which I liked, but too sweet for my taste. Waffles were subpar. I don't know why this dish was a "speciality" on the menu honestly. read more

Excellent service. Quite good food and value. Lovely set-up. It'd be especially nice during cooler months when you could sit outside. Two of us had: watermelon gazpacho, beet salad, Texas sloppy joe (brisket sandwich). The beet salad was great but HUGE and needed a bit more of the cheese. Watermelon gazpacho was nice, elegant but a bit creamier than one would expect. The hit was the brisket sandwich. Stunningly good with red slaw. Service was lovely. Wine by the glass offers a decent selection. Coffee was surprisingly good. I had a double cappuccino and my friend had regular coffee. Bread was arrived in a cast iron skillet with whipped unsalted butter. My friend loved it. I thought the bread could have used salt and I'm not a salt person. Will definitely come back. Okay, I've now eaten breakfast, lunch and dinner at Campfire and can recommend the restaurant without reservation. The service was friendly and conscientious, if a little green. All the staff couldn't be nicer. My friend had the eggs Benedict and loved it. I had huevos rancheros which was quite good. Perhaps could have been a tad spicier and the avocados were just ripe enough but it was a close call. For dinner, one of us had steak tartare and it was terrific and beautifully presented. I had fish and it was perfectly done. The cocktails are inventive and delicious. I have one strong suggestion: for a restaurant this "farm to table" with such care for ingredients, the regular water served was unfiltered and tasted terrible. Kind of inexcusable. But I sure they'll take care of it now they know it's noticeable. Update Wow what a change. Something has happened. We had a server so bad we had to ask others for help. They were awesome and pitched in. Ordered wine: didn't come. Then one came and the other didn't. For a loooooooong time. Then, it turned out that wine was out. Okay. Gave a second choice. Finally had to enlist the help of a second server to make it come. My friend was almost finished by the time mine came. Food: same thing. No joke. And our server kept forgetting things. My friend ordered Diet Coke and then, as an after thought I ordered coffee. I got coffee and my friend got iced tea in a to-go cup. This time we ordered deviled eggs (fine) and fried green tomatoes (fine). Main courses: brisket sliders - which replaced the brisket sandwich on the menu before. Meat was tough and flavorless. The coleslaw, ditto. Other main course: chicken schnitzel which said it came with cucumbers, potatoes, and onions. Three half-moon slivers of (cooked?) cucumbers, two tiny wedges of potatoes, and three wedges of onion (which I was grateful for) as the chicken was a just a fried beaten breast of high-quality chicken. Really amazing change from the previous times we ate there. Food has gone waaaay downhill. Fill-in server: Jackie. Ask for her. And this won't happen to you. Great outdoor place to drink and eat. Hope they fix whatever has gone wrong and recover. read more

Went to Campfire for breakfast on a Friday morning and really enjoyed the food. I had "The Toad in a Hole" - a sandwich on sourdough bread with gruyere cheese, a huge portion of ham, and a sunny side up egg in the top piece of bread. It was really good, and creative. Came with an arugula and frisée salad that was lightly dressed. Ordered a side of hash browns - if you like your hash browns crunchy then you'll love these! They were delicious! Only criticism is the salad needed acidity (vinegar or citrus), and the gruyere cheese wasn't melted. Other than that it was great and the ambiance is really nice. Great for a breakfast date. read more

I came here food a work function and it was excelllent! The atmosphere, drinks, and food were all A+. I ordered the Son of a Peach drink, and later we ordered some wine-- I think it was the Lyric Pinot Noir..? The drink was alright--I honestly should have stuck with an original old fashioned since this seemed a little on the tart side. However the wine was extremely good and they have an excellent wine menu. I would suggest sticking with classic cocktails of wine when it comes to drinks. The food was so good! We got the hush puppies, the goat cheese, and the Brussels sprout appetizers. All were amazing but I think I liked the goat cheese the best. For dinner I ordered the dry rubbed salmon and it was also delicious! I loved the stewed tomatoes with it too. But by this time I was so full I definitely couldn't eat more than 2/3 of it. The only reason I docked a star was because it is pretty pricey or "bougie" as a lot of my coworkers called it but it was a great place to go to celebrate or for a special occasion. read more

I ate their brunch and the food was definitely sub par. Not what I expected being at such a "nice" hotel. I got the simple eggs, bacon, and potatoes- the eggs looked and tasted like they came from a carton and the potatoes were definitely pre-packaged. It just didn't taste very fresh. Disappointed. read more

We came here 2 years ago and did not have a good experience with the food being bland for dinner. Came back and stayed at the Stella hotel for the weekend and had brunch here. Food was great (and seasoned this time). Great service service, and classy atmosphere. read more

Campfire Restaurant - Chop salad, pancakes, and a campfire omelette - New American Near Me - Bryan, Texas

I REALLY want to like this place.. I do... BUT its just hit or miss on the food. The service was great, like the Stella, itself, but it can't make up for the terrible steak and just plain weird chese plate. I'm not one to post bad reviews, but this one is deserved. I will go back, because they replaced the horrible steak with a cool "toad in the hole" sandwich and frankly because it's a chic little boutique hotel in a needed niche market. read more

Campfire Restaurant - New American Near Me - Bryan, Texas

This place is overpriced. The environment and service are really good but the food is not. I came with my friend at noon. I ordered gulf shrimp, the shrimps didn't absorb enough spices/sauces so they taste weird. My friend ordered steak, medium rare but taste like rare, too much blood. The hand cut fries are pretty good actually. And it is a really good place for a date! (If you don't care about food too much) Not noisy but also not awkwardly quiet. A very comfortable environment for chatting, and good views outside! read more

Food, Service, Cost/Quality, Environment, Hospitality, Location, Parking Space. Sometime is really busy and service is lagging.

Nice restaurant and one of only 2 restaurants in this area. Food was on the pricer side but expected. Menu was very limited for lunch. Most items are breakfast items. I got the shrimp ceviche which they served in a little iron dish. You can taste the metal which is not a good thing. read more

Campfire Restaurant - Shrimp cerviche - New American Near Me - Bryan, Texas

Showed up tonight with my dad after work. Not a hello, head nod, or any sort of acknowledgment for nearly 10 minutes. Menu looked small and not much options. Considering most of the reviews are regarding slow and bad service, we left and went to Kanji across the street for a great meal. Didn't try the food, never got the chance to get a drink. This is not worth your time. Kanji was amazing sushi and friendly, prompt staff. read more

Terrible service. I forgot my birthday and they would not serve me drinks. What a joke. Still had a good time though... water was out of this world. Front desk guy = not nice. read more

Good food, service is perfect the view of the restaurant is fantastic I recommend to come and visit this fantastic restaurant

Not a huge fan. Salmon was dry and the sides did not mesh well. Service was somewhat slow. Will not be going back again

Sat at the bar tonight for 10+ mins waiting to order food. Bartenders weren't particularly busy. Made solid eye contact with one at least twice, never came over. A couple sitting near me recommended I walk over to the other bar, as they weren't happy enough with the service either. I said loud enough for him to hear "thank you for the recommendation! I think I will leave and try the bar." And for the first time, he look like he might come over. Shame. Pretty location, but everyone I talked to seems to despise the staff and service. read more

I was so excited to dine at Campfire for the first time for my best friends birthday. Unfortunately, the food was mediocre, the staff was rude, we were barely checked in on, they did not follow our reservation requests for table seating, and they added a 21% tip (which they did not deserve at all). I would not recommend this place and do not think i will return soon. read more

Expensive and small portions. The food was fair, but the seating and noise was more for a business marketing venue than good for a romantic meal. The service was amicable, but I felt they were so busy that you spend most of your time waving down your waiter. Go here for a business trip. Save your money for a family get together or romantic meal. read more

We fled Laura by going to the Stella Hotel with our dog . We truly enjoyed the great service and food. The wait staff was very sociable and always willing to go the extra mile. We always felt very welcome there. read more

Visit #2 was quite different than the first. Completely unimpressed about one year ago. Sweet fried chicken? Just average on the other items (which I have completely forgotten about). They did have a very nice beer selection, always important ... but I'm talking food here. I had the Redfish and a side of roasted Brussels Sprouts. Both were excellent! The Redfish was served with some creamy, cheesy grits and they were an awesome combo. My wife had the same and it was her second eating of the same dish. She loved it (and she is a fish bigot). Service was excellent and not too invasive. They do try almost too hard, almost. I can't stand chatty wait staff. Or hour long explanations about the wine of the day. Typically hotel restaurants are to be avoided .... almost always (exceptions for 5* joints with world class eateries). Glad to see the Stella has made the effort to be exceptional in the food area. Two thumbs up. read more

I'm Not sure why this place has 3.5 stars it's always a 5 star place. No joke this place has the best burgers I have ever had and that sounds crazy but true. All there meals were really good. The service is always good if not great. Drinks were good, desserts delicious. I come here a lot since it's down the street so having eaten her numerous times they have all been 5 stars. It's unfortunate because many people would likely pass this place up due to yelp ratings but this place is my go to spot, it's totally worth it. read more

Upping my review, as I did not know they had breakfast. Well they do, and its good. I had eggs over black beans and salsa with pork belly (they call lardons) and fresh avocado. Lo carb, me happy. Coffee is decent, and service is friendly. The rest of the breakfast menu looked good as well. Non-Mexican breakfast places in BCS can be counted on on one hand. This one is one of the better ones. read more

A very nice restaurant inside the Stella Hotel that has wonderful customer service. Our hostess, Zyreshia was pleasant and brought us to a nice table to get clear view and ambiance of restaurant. Our server, Allison B, was delightful with her wonderful smile. She had amazing customer service with details of the menu to enhance the experience. It was our anniversary so the chef, Jim Porsen, surprised us bring out a board of meats, cheese and fruit personally to our table. He wished us a wonderful anniversary. The experience was amazing with a special dessert given at the end. I highly suggest you to come experience their food, cocktails and desserts. They even have charging stations in the chairs for your smartphones and laptops.I will definitely come back and stay at the Stella again as it's located inside the hotel. Great for business meetings, special occasions and romantic times. ENJOY! THANKS AGAIN ZYRESHIA, CHEF JIM PORSEN, AND ESPECIALLY ALLISON for making our day SIMPLY AMAZING! read more

My husband took me here on a fancy-ish date, and we both left pretty underwhelmed. While we enjoyed the ambience and weren't particularly bothered by the slow service, we found the food to be rudely overpriced. I got the buttermilk chicken; husband ordered the flank steak. He described it as flavorless. As for the chicken, I would've rather gone to ______ (insert any local, cheap fried chicken fast-food joint) for the same dish, with more flavor and $13 more in my wallet. The major win of our date was the excellent cocktail my husband ordered... we will definitely be back to enjoy drinks on the patio. Not for dinner, though. read more

We really enjoyed our experience at Campfire. They had a fun Moscow Mule for two that was very good! Our group of 4 split a 60oz steak that was cooked perfect. I would say that if you are an mashed potato lover like myself order your own side because they are more of a single serving and not family style as stated on the menu. read more

I'm not sure why this restaurant doesn't have more starts. Great food, great service, and a great atmosphere! We came for dinner and it was peaceful and the food was amazing.

Very friendly hostess stand, cool decor and ambiance. My date had the biscuits and gravy and thought it was fantastic! I had the power goal and liked it a lot. Would ask for again but no lemon vinaigrette. It's not needed. I also think the arugula on the bottom should be steamed or cooked and not raw as it's on the bottom. Would return again! Y read more

Last Night for Christmas Eve my husband and I went to Campfire for dinner. We never have been there before, and by looking on the menu, were happy to see beef Tar Tar, which isn't for everyone, but we love it. We have a lot of beef tar tar in a number of countries and restaurants, and found changes in the spices, but always the texture and consistency was the same, due to the way the meat is prepared. We got a very nicely plated tar tar, but it was very sinewy and fatty. I had a little bit left on my plate when the hostess (not our server) came by to pick up our plates. I indicated to her that I would like a little more toast to finish my plate with, where upon, she presented my husband's plate, which still had a small piece of toast on it. I ordered a Cesar Salad, the dressing was very nice, but in serving it with the hearts, which included a very, very hard core, I found it not pleasant to eat. My husband had ordered the skirt steak, which they called Carne Asada. He also ordered "hand cut" fries, but the server recemmentded not to, since they already came with fries. What he got was a very tasteless piece of meat, thought tender, and what looked like and tasted like the frozen fries you get in the freezer department at the local H-E-B. But the real turn off was when the hostess, I presume, served the food to us with her long, loose hair swung over her shoulder and hanging over out food. The server did come by now and then to see if we needed anything, but you could tell she really wasn't all that interested. We left a very decent tip, because after all, it was Christmas, but will not be back. read more

First of all, I love the atmosphere in the restaurant. It's elegant decor, but also rustic and comfortable at the same time. Makes it very easy to relax and enjoy a few or several cocktails with the people you're with. I also love the outdoor option. There's a wonderful fire pit that you can sit around- with these June nights as of late have been perfect for it. Next, let's talk about my server. I'm absolutely in love with Blake! Not only is he attentive, but he made my evening very enjoyable without being overbearing. My water was over filled, never below half, and it's like he knew when I needed that cocktail refill! Bless his soul! Not only that he made sure our food was cooked to perfection before leaving the table to help his next guest. Blake made it fun and would laugh at my boyfriend's lame jokes, but would also crack some of his own. It's great when you have a server who is busy still make you a priority, despite the chaos around them. Please, keep him as long as possible because I don't think I could see this establishment without his lively personality. Now I'm sure you're wondering about the food, the menu is not overwhelming like some places, thankfully. We started off with the cauliflower. The spritz of lime and drizzle of honey was the perfect combination I would've never thought of before. We went all out and got the salads too. I had the market lettuce- I absolutely love the squash in it! Mmmmm!!! My boyfriend ended up getting the Cesar which smelt amazing. The perfect amount of spices and not over dressed. For our entrees, I enjoyed the short rib without horseradish. It melted in my mouth. Normally I would stop for pictures, however it was so good I didn't sneak one in before devouring it all. Joey had the NY steak and fries. He said it was one of the best steaks he's had in awhile. The best part is they have pumpkin cheesecake! Like it never goes out of season. I loved it. Very creamy! So, overall for a hotel restaurant, I'd go back. I felt welcomed and relaxed the entire time. I also didn't feel obligated to order more food because again Blake wasn't trying to up-sell everything however build a relationship with his guest. If you come ask for him. He will make your time there worth every cent! read more

First of all our waitress looked like Ann from Parks and Rec (Rashida Jones). Her demeanor greeted us with fun helpful, uplifting and prompt service. For a Wednesday night it had a nice ambiance with a perfect balance of crowd noise, music and room to hear the person across from you talking. I knew it was gonna be a special night after I found the ladies room to be clean and elegant. Ok now on to why we really parked here for a few -the food. I started off with a happy hour well of Vodka and Tonic. Hubs and I ordered the smoked brisket soup with melted white cheddar on top as an appetizer. It was a Texas style generously beefed up version of French Onion Soup. Much better and different in that it didn't leave you unsatisfied. Filling but not too much for a following entree. A nice retreat from the boring side salad. Speaking of entree-for me the bbq seasoned shrimp accompanied with avocado relish and a two person side of mashed potatoes. Hubs ordered a rare filet with pickled collard greens and he's already scarfed it's down so it must be good. Check out the pics. Ok so my bbq shrimp came on skewers so get ready to do some work. Be careful getting them off the stick. It's not for wimpy hearted people. The medium sized morsels can fly away. The unique seasoning of bbq goodness adorned each grilled shrimp. So I'm hanging in there savoring every little shrimp buddy. The potatoes are gooey starchy thick like my southern roots demand. I had one of the shrimp skewers and 3/4 the potatoes wrapped up to go which was a nice bonus surprise for my teenage son at home who didn't want to come to The Campfire with us because it wasn't a "burrito joint". As we left we took a seat at the fire pit outside for awhile and had a nice convo with some folks visiting from out of town. I'mma coming back to this campfire!! read more

Campfire Restaurant - Texas Sweet Onion & Smoked Brisket Soup - New American Near Me - Bryan, Texas

Attached to the Stella Hotel and I ate here rather than Uber out after a long day at the Brazo's expo center. Meh.... the roll was great, and the patio has fans which made the July evening almost bearable/ my choice, I could have gone in but like being outside despite the heat. I ordered Mac and cheese and the beet salad. The Mac and cheese was bland with a scoop of butter on top... which I scooped off- that's a little ridiculous. The beet salad was too heavily dressed- should have asked for lightly dressed but plenty of beets, good amount of cheese and the mint in occasional bites was a nice compliment. I got grilled peaches which weren't peeled and cooked to mush. Not good, I should have just gotten a bowl of the coconut ice cream which was lovely. Hotel restaurants don't usually do much for me and this was no exception. Juan was a good server though, so thank you to him. read more

Decent atmosphere and not too loud. Poor service. We had to ask another waiter to bring us out our bread. The appetizer we ordered was not worth the price. We didn't receive all that was listed on the menu for our cheese board. We had to wait 45 minutes for our meal to arrive. Once again, the quality of our meal was not worth the price. It was not a positive experience. I would not recommend eating at this restaurant. read more
