    BlackBerry BBQ (substituted burger patty with grilled chicken) and sweet potato fries
    Kimberly S.

    I drove from Port Angeles on a work trip because my mom's name is Joyce and I wanted to share some fun with my family! The food was yummy and the service was great. They had sold out of most pie but I got there late in the day. They also have a convenient drive thru!

    New owners, new menu! Still great food/service. This is a great, small town café to support when visiting the Olympic Peninsula.

    Just found another hidden gem. Staff were friendly and helpful with suggestions. We had a group of six. We ordered lunch and everyone enjoyed their food. The blackberry bbq sauce is a must try. I had the patty melt. It was tasty. Several in our group had the four bean salad side and enjoyed itThe tater tots were crispy and delicious. And the pies were so fresh and delicious. Not many tables, but well worth the trip to try the food and desserts.

    Blackberry Pie
    Dena F.

    Whenever we're near Joyce, the Blackberry Cafe is a must stop for slices of their Blackberry Pie. This is the best blackberry pie anywhere, including the ones I make. The crust is delicious and the slices are thick with delicious blackberries which are sweetened perfectly. This is definitely a 5 star pie and since I make them I understand the effort that goes into making a delicious pie. Tho at $9.00 a slice now, the price has become a bit steep - luckily the slices are large enough that two can share. Maybe next time I'll call in advance and order a whole pie for $36

    Chicken fried steak

    I had the chicken fried steak and it hit the spot after a morning hike. Probably the best I've ever had. Definitely nailed the comfort food. The woman who helped me was cherry and so nice! Love the outdoor seating too.

    We happened upon this place completely by accident and WOW, was all we could say when we were done. On a weekend highlighted by good food, this place stuck out! The home of the 20oz Sasquatch burger, this place has a unique Pacific Northwest nostalgia, a great Ma and Pa drive-in sort of vibe, and makes possibly the best barbecue sauce I've ever tasted. Seriously, the blackberry barbecue sauce made for hands-down the best fry dipping that we've had in a long time. It also made some boss level campfire sauce! We found this place completely by accident, as it was basically the only spot to grab food that was midway between Forks Washington and Poulsbo. We enjoyed a number of burgers, onion rings, crinkle fries and some shakes. The burgers were some of the best we've had in all of Washington. Really nice flavor on the meat, some good bacon and A good amount of cheese. The onion rings were quite good as well, as were the fries. Combined with the barbecue/mayo campfire sauce, and this made for as good of a combination as we could've hoped for. The shakes were the only non-homerun, but we only tried the chocolate and a root beer (by request of our eight year old), and based on the blackberry offerings, I suspect the blackberry shakes leave a little to be desired. If the blackberry/raspberry pie was any indication, anything involving berries from this area is to be sought out! We were out on the peninsula for an entire weekend, and my only regret was not ordering the Sasquatch burger. Granted, the thing was $32.95 but it could easily be shared among our family of five, and would've made for a memorable Christmas card photo!

Good music , dim lights and not packed with rowdy bar people that makes it hard to hold a conversation. The cider samplers were sized much larger than many other samplers at other establishments. We had the hand pies and gator tacos. Both were absolutely perfect. The hand pies were flakey and hearty. The tacos were a balance of a duck-like meat mixed with crunch greens.I even finished my fried, which is rare since I'm always on a lower carb diet. Hahaha We discussed coming back to Port Angeles just to get dinner here again, despite it being 2+ hours away from Seattle. It was that good. Give this place a try. You won't regret it.

    Shockingly expensive for what we got…read more We came here with four adults and one 8-year-old child while trying to catch the ferry back toward Seattle. We had originally tried to eat at the gastropub just two doors down, but it was completely packed with a 45-minute to 1-hour wait. Meanwhile, Base Camp had only 2-3 occupied tables out of maybe 10-12, so because we were short on time, we decided to eat here instead. Unfortunately, I wish we had waited or gone somewhere else. Here's what we ordered: - Two alcohol flights -- $16 each - Dungeness crab dip -- $18 - Chicken wings -- $20 - Hot honey apple butter flatbread -- $16 - Garlic butter steak bites -- $20 - Cider-braised pulled pork tacos -- $21 - Mac and cheese -- $18 - Kids' cheeseburger -- $13 Our bill was $176 before tip. After a $25 tip and a 3% credit-card fee that we didn't notice until afterward, we spent a little over $200 for five people -- more than $40 per person, including our 8-year-old. My eyeballs practically popped out of my head when I saw the total. There were definitely some positives. I really like the concept of sourcing ingredients locally, and they even have a map showing where their ingredients come from. Our server was friendly. The chicken wings were really good, the fries with the kids' cheeseburger were also very good, and the cheeseburger itself was probably one of the better things we ordered. But for these prices, I expected considerably more. The $20 garlic butter steak bites were extremely chewy. Some pieces felt like I was chewing forever. The $18 mac and cheese was nothing special and honestly tasted like something I could make better at home. The $18 Dungeness crab dip was a very small appetizer and didn't feel worth the price. And the $21 pulled pork tacos were just two average-sized tacos. The portions in general were surprisingly small. Even when we asked for plates for all the shared food, we were given tiny appetizer-sized plates, maybe six inches across. Trying to actually eat off them without food falling off the sides was awkward. Full-sized plates would have made much more sense. The atmosphere wasn't particularly enjoyable either. The music was louder than I would want for a restaurant, and the speaker system sounded distorted and very bass-heavy. Instead of being pleasant background music, it was distracting and made the dining experience less comfortable. The alternative-style music selection also wasn't to my taste, although obviously that's subjective. A lower volume and clearer sound system would have made the atmosphere much nicer. I don't mind paying premium prices for a genuinely great meal. But this simply did not feel like a $200 meal. We ate at another pub the previous day and spent around $100 for all five of us, and we left much more satisfied. In retrospect, seeing only 2-3 tables occupied here while the gastropub two doors down was completely packed probably should have been our clue. I really wanted to like Base Camp because I appreciate the local-sourcing concept, and the wings were legitimately good. But between the small portions, very high prices, chewy steak bites, mediocre mac and cheese, unpleasant sound system, and $200+ final cost, I can't justify more than two stars. If we're back in Port Angeles, we'll be eating somewhere else.

We had a 15-20 min wait on a busy Tuesday night but we're glad we waited! Our server was friendly and helpful with choosing cocktails because they had a to. Of unique selection. Haven't ordered more than one at a restaurant before but had to try two here! We thoroughly enjoyed our final selections of Ginny from the Block, Garden era, strawberry bourbon smash and Blackberry goose beer! For our mains we got the alaskan cod and chips and Blackened cod tacos and loved it all. They really know how to prepare tasty cod! The Alaskan cod and chips had the perfect crispy texture and my blackened cod tacos had all the flavor profiles you need. A hint of heat in the Thai chili slaw with a creamy avocado, Crema and the brightness of mango salsa and of course a touch of sour with the HOUSE made pickled red onions. Even better they let me substitute corn tortillas in for the flour. But you can't mix and match your proteins. I didn't need to because I loved both of my blackened cod tacos. The atmosphere is in the name: cozy Gastropub. They have a plethora of beers on tap, but parking is solely on the street so a little bit more challenging than picking your beer but I don't think it would be too challenging if you're up for a small walk. We were able to walk from our Airbnb, so didn't have to figure that part out. Pretty sure it was farther than any walk you might have to do for parking!

The food here is good! We came in a little before 7pm on Tuesday night and there was a line to get on the waitlist for a very packed restaurant. We walked around for a bit, came back, and were able to snag a spot at the bar, so definitely recommend if you can swing it. I was hungry after a day of hiking and also a little cold so I grabbed a cup of their chowder and a salad. My partner also wanted to split an order of the mac & cheese, which is listed on the apps but is a VERY large portion. I almost wish I had forgone my chowder so that I could have eaten more of the mac & cheese. All of the food was very good. It took a little bit to come out, and the bartenders weren't too concerned with us, so you may have to get their attention if you need more water, another drink, etc. Like I said, the food here is very good. Definitely a great spot for lunch or dinner if you're in Port Angeles.

We were also warned that the kitchen gets "overwhelmed" with big groups, which we appreciated their honesty. Our table decided to order a variety of items and to share. My mom would've loved the schnitzel but when I asked if they could put the spaetzle and sauce on the side, the waiter told me "no, the chef won't do that because it would be visually unappealing." We ordered it anyway and it tasted good but my mom couldn't try it. I think it would've been fine if the spaetzel and sauce were on the side (would've been my preference too) so it would also keep the schnitzel crunchy. But anyway, we also ordered the seared tuna, which was too garlicky for our liking, the shrimp boil, which was very good, and the fried chicken, which was just ok. My sister sitting in the next booth also ordered the brussel sprouts and that was easily the star of the show! This restaurant allows kids but I'm not sure if I would really consider it to be "kid friendly" since they did not offer a kids menu. All-in-all, food was good, service was honest, and we would probably come back.

This time we booked a couple of nights in the Lodge itself. It was wonderful to be able to go on hikes such as Mount Storm King and then come back to the Lodge later for a hot meal and cold drink. First I'd like to address the Lodge accommodations. The rooms are indeed small and the bathrooms are shared. Neither of these facts were problematic. Neither my wife nor I ever had to wait to use a bathroom (and there is also a bathroom downstairs if we did) or the shower. Yes the walls are thin and yes you might hear the neighbor snoring. It's a 100+ year-old Lodge and National Historic Place!! If your idea of roughing it is checking Into the Four Seasons without reservations, then maybe you should look elsewhere. Was the bed cozy? Yes! Get cozy! We ended up eating a lunch and two dinners at the restaurant. The full dinner menu is available from the bar as well, so even if reservations are full you can get the same meal in the lodge or on the enclosed patio. For lunch we had the sliders and a cup of chowder, both of which were wonderful. For dinner, one night we had the roasted wild-caught sablefish and braised pork shank, both of which also well prepared and very well presented. I appreciate a good plate presentation and the chef did not disappoint. For dinner on the second night, we had the sablefish again (it was that good) and the risotto with prawns. I had high hopes for the risotto but honestly it was the only disappointing meal we had at the Lodge. It was too salty for my liking and prawns were a little dry. The service, at the front desk, at the bar, and at the restaurant were all top notch. The staff seemed happy to be there, were eager to please and delightful conversationalists. I think a new concessionaire took over management of this location recently and they have done a great job creating a solid park experience. Finally, we enjoyed a couple of craft cocktails and glasses of wine during our stay and all was well-paired and well-made. Five stars and definitely recommend eating and staying at the Lodge.

The nachos were basically just a bag of stale chips served on a plate. There was maybe sour cream on ONE chip. The cheese was literally cold and frozen onto the chips. I'm not even exaggerating. The sandwiches were also extremely bland and nothing about the food matched what the reviews made this place seem like. Even looking through the reviews beforehand, so many of the Elite reviews read like the same forced AI review saying how amazing everything is. After actually eating here, I seriously question how this place has such a high rating. Easily one of the worst meals we had on the entire trip.
