    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.

    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.

    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

    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!

    Base Camp - $21 Cider Braised Pulled Pork Taco. 6/10. Nothing special other than the tortilla, which was good. Definitely not worth $10.50 per taco.

    What a gem of a place! The ciders on tap were delicious. My personal favorite was the lavender…read morehoney. We also enjoyed the salmon dip appetizer and Dungeness sandwich. Our server Nikki was very attentive and personable.

    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.

My…read moreboyfriend's Aunt booked a room here when we were visiting so we could enjoy the area and get some hiking in. We were so thankful she did! We got here around the afternoon and were able to check in to the room and then walk around the area to explore. It was a little chilly but bearable. I didn't realize early June would still feel a little cold, but alas, we were up north amongst the misty emerald green forest so I imagine it's expected. The lodge is close to several hiking trails, a creek that flows out to the lake and from the restaurant lodge and patio, a beautiful view of the lake and mountains. When dinner came around we were pretty famished. I decided to try their copper river salmon entree and my boyfriend got the mac and cheese. Aunt Carol got the sliders and we all shared the lovely dessert . As soon as our waiter told us their pastry chef had an Ube cheesecake, we had to try it! Everything was delicious. Especially being that they are pretty far from most places, the dinner was quite creative and impressive. The Ube cheesecake was served with blackberries and it was more of a light fluffy cheesecake than a rich and heavy cheesecake. The Berry crumble was crunchy and tart. I got to have a bite of the mac and cheese and it was warm and tasty. We left happy and satisfied with our meals ready to relax in our room. The room was simple and comfortable. The only thing missing was a top sheet on one of the queen beds but it was quickly remedied. Our room was a short walk from a parking lot and a short distance to walk along the lake too. I love that there was a back door to the room with chairs outside to enjoy the area. Check in and check out was easy. The staff were helpful and happy to answer any questions we had about the stay, hiking trails, and anything else. The lodge itself had a welcoming and warm vibe with comfy leather chairs and a game of chess at the ready. We truly enjoyed our stay here and hope to stop here again if our adventure takes us this way. We headed back home extra thankful Aunt Carol thought to book this place. It was a wonderful place to take in nature and relax.

When I arrived, I was informed that we would be on the second floor and have to share bathrooms and showers with others on the floor - one shower for men and another for women, one bathroom for men and one for women. It was NOT what I wanted and they couldn't change it because there weren't any rooms available. Absolutely awful. The room was so small and had nothing in it besides the bed and nightstand. There was so much noise all night long from the lodge downstairs. The gaps under the doors and windows allowed all the sounds to come from the hallway and adjoining room as well. Just awful.
