I came here for lunch with a friend and we got seated right away. I came back here to try their Monte Cristo and it was yummy! I like that they included a pickle on the side. They Bulgogi bowl had a huge portion of food. Both of us ended up having leftovers at the end. For the price and the amount you receive, I say everything was worth it. It was very spacious with lots of seating and the service was decent. read more

Cameo Cafe - Monte Cristo Lunch - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

I have been to the Cameo Cafe probably 40 times over the last 6-7 years. At best the Cameo Cafe is average. It is old, run down, but has an excellent location! It also has a great outdoor patio where there is often live entertainment on the weekends. Anyone that has a serious vision could have one of the hottest places in town for food, drinks & entertainment. I am sure some people like the food but at best it is average and sometimes worse. There is nothing to eat there that would make you go out of your way to go there. At the bar the service is usually very good. Often times there is no waitstaff and you must go to the bar to get your drink anyway. So, you ask why do you go so often? It is like a local "dive bar" but my musician friends bands play there fairly frequently so I go to be with my friends occasionally. So don't go there for the dining experience & ambiance. Go there for the fun! They do have fun there! The entertainment is THE MAIN DRAW! I am going tonight to meet my friends that can sing for Karaoke, drinks and maybe a bite to eat if I have to! read more

Delicious food, quick service and easy parking made this place a favorite for me for a while. I thought the kitchen and staff were on point and friendly. Only reason for four stars is that twice out of the five times I went there, I found some sort of fiber or hair in the food. It might have been from the packaging the food was in. read more

Cameo Cafe - Delicious corned beef hash - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

No frills cafe. A hidden gem in Vancouver, tucked away in a small street by Costco and next to a golf course. A friend recommended this place and we opted for brunch. Hustle and bustle, but the waitress were very attentive. My coffee was always made sure to be filled every so often. Their menu is very unique as they have something for everyone. In fact, they even throw in a couple Korean things in there which I thought was hilarious but enticing. I ended up with their Coconut Waffles with a side of poached eggs and sausage. Holy moly, did it blow me away. Simple, yet everything was delicious as how a true diner should be. Atmosphere and vibe is great here! Nothing fancy, just your friendly neighborhood cafe. read more

If you want the best burger in washington. Come to Cameos. The service is excellent. Waiters are friendly and attentive. Definitely give this place a try. You won't regret it. I'll stack their cheese burger against anyone's. Best I've ever eaten. read more

Great place! I was driving by and need to have a bite before my next appointment. As I walked in Carmen greeted me and directed me to a booth. Very friendly people, good food and wonderful facilities. The raspberry sauce is amazing!!! There is however, a strange smell right when you walk in. Not sure if it was just that day, but it was a little putting off. It wore off after I sat for a while. read more

This has got to be the best hidden breakfast place in Vancouver! Must try if you have not been here. Not very impressive from the outside. However, lots of parking, counter/booths/tables/meeting room and a separate bar. Usually, you do not have to wait long to get seated. Great American style food with a few awesome Asian dishes on the menu. Try the "acre" banana pancake! It is two pancakes the size of a plate! Best Chicken Fried Steak and best hashbrowns. The servers are all incredible. Most have worked there a long time and are some of the best waitstaff in Vancouver. Cost is very reasonable, and they can seat large groups of people. Now I'm hungry again just thinking about going!!! read more

We came here for breakfast based off the reviews, unfortunately a total disappointment! The ambience was confusing. As you enter there's an off putting smell! The restaurant seems to rendezvous as a night club. There's a random piano in the center. It's an odd setup. It was uninviting. The service was unfriendly and lazy. The waitress who delivered our food must've just come back from her cigarette break. As she delivered my food her hands reeked of cigarettes. It was unpleasant especially before a meal. The food was warm but flavorless. I gave this place two stars because my husband enjoyed his French toast. I wouldn't recommend and I won't be back! read more

Service was atrocious. Server took my order and then disappeared. Someone else brought my food out. Food was good, but what kind of breakfast cafe doesn't give refills on coffee? I wish I had known because I sat with an empty mug for most of my visit. read more

The food is ok but the service is dreadful. Decor needs updating as the place feels shabby. Also, the attached bar is a dive.

Food was good but it didn't impress me enough to want to return the following week. The service was also fair but we felt rushed.

The food here is great. I got the eggs Benedict (sub ham for spinach and tomato). They don't have avocados! What cafe doesn't have avocado, especially with breakfast food! The atmosphere is interesting here, you can hear all the cooks talking and singing ha! I found it amusing, I'd come back for sure. I loved my breakfast. They make the best hollandaise sauce. read more

Cameo Cafe - Eggs Benedict (sub ham for tomato and spinach) - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

Great locals spot. Connected up to the golf course so it's nice to stop at and get bite to eat before continuing on to the next hole!

Old diner feel. Friendly staff. I had the Egg Jerusalem. It wasn't bad I couldn't finish it all. They have a good variety of menu items. Will have to come back and bring the kids. Previous posts states nice view of golf course but there's a tent in the way now. Will have to try lunch menu items as well. read more

Delicious! The Beef Bulgogi is fabulous. Breakfast offerings are all good. Good service, great cook!

We eat here all the . Came in to grab a quick bite and we were lied to and sent away. Stating they were closed. Online and the door said 2:30. It was a few minutes before 2. I don't understand why people do this. You're open until 2:30 be open until 2:30. read more

I tried to find something I did not like about Cameo Cafe, but I was woefully unable. In the large parking lot adjacent to Club Green Meadows, Cameo Cafe's building is obviously dated, reminiscent of a 1970s diner, and with somewhat unkempt landscaping lining the front. The interior is also dated, but serviceable. Ambiance is not a strength, until you enter the rear garden, adjacent to and overlooking one of the holes on Club Green Meadows' golf course, it is full of beautiful flowers and tables with large umbrellas ... rELaXeD! We met a friend for lunch on the patio on a perfectly beautiful spring day. Not in the mood for a cocktail from their adjacent bar, we had coffee and ice water instead. My wife ordered the French Toast ($8), I the Bacon Cheeseburger ($11.50), and our friend the Chicken Bento ($11). The french toast's three large, thick slices of texas toast were battered and fried, then topped with maple syrup and sprinkled with powdered sugar. My wife absolutely loved it and at just $8, it was not a bad value. My burger was ENORMOUS, a half-pound of ground beef on a toasted brioche bun along with bacon, cheese, grilled onions, lettuce and tomato. It was one of the best burgers I have had in a long time and a TREMENDOUS value at just $11.50, including the hot, crispy fries. The french fries had a seasoned coating which I have not seen before, but they were tasty and fried to perfection as previously stated - hot and crispy. Our friend had the chicken bento, but I did not mooch a taste although he seemed as if he enjoyed it very much ... HOOAH! The service was very friendly and efficient. They opened the patio for us, cleaning off a table just because we asked if we could sit outside as it was such a nice day. I was a bit hesitant to try Cameo Cafe because of the odd menu, a menagerie of eclectic breakfast, lunch and dinner items, including egg dishes, biscuits and gravy, sandwiches, COLOSSAL soup, fish & chips, and stir fries, among others. I am sure glad we decided to go because the perfect spring day was only that much better, accompanied by a scrumptious, filling lunch in a beautiful setting with a good friend.

We live within walking distance of the Cameo. The food and service is great, aside from one evening server. She's beyond prissy, and condescending. She wears a ponytail and her spine looks as if she's never moved. She's rude and judgmental. This place would get 5 stars from us if not for this particular server. read more

I stopped by for a waffle after a Costco run. The waitress was friendly and brewed a pot of decaf for me. After using the bathroom and fiddling on my phone for a while, I started looking toward the kitchen to see if my order was there. My waitress was talking for a long time with a family and then had to cash out the line that had gathered. My waffle was waiting and so were a lot of other orders. The other waitress, with long reddish hair (that would be fun to find in my food), did nothing. Completely ignored the pileup of customers and food. I finally left a $5 for the coffee and walked out, unnoticed. read more

Great atmosphere.. Staff are amazing and on it with everything.. Drinks were strong and our bartender Ryan was great. Will be back for a lite easy breakfast read more

Cameo Cafe - #4 Eggs Benedict w/ Spinach and tomato instead of Ham - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

I was just visiting for a few hours and was SO glad Cameo Cafe was open and that Carmen was still working there! For COVID-19, they currently have every-other table taped off, unavailable, and they have a large bottle of hand sanitizer at the entrance area. Thank you for that! I let them know I was kind of in a hurry and they were great in helping me accomplish my timing goal. We used to live right around the corner, so Cameo Cafe was our "go to" for weekend brunch. They never disappoint! I love their chicken fried steak (it's the style with crunchy bits!) and their banana-blueberry pancake when the bananas are ripe. SO good! And, you seriously only need ONE pancake, because it's larger than the plate! My husband always had the "eggs Jerusalem," and again - it would never disappoint! I was glad to see that it's still on the menu! On a nice day, it's really great to sit in the back patio with the golf course view!!! read more

Cameo Cafe - Basic breakfast with super-thick & perfectly crispy bacon. SO good!!! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

Great staff and good breakfast! I haven't been there for years but tried it lately and I was impressed with it.

Very disappointed! We have eaten here a few times and the foods pretty good. Tonight however we sat outside on rhe patio to enjoy the nice weather First there was no patio service. We order our meal at the bar. The Karaoke was so loud the bar tender had a hard time hearing me and I could hardly hear her. Second: I ordered water and was told to pour my own from a pitcher sitting open at the end of the bar. Third: We ordered chicken stir fry. I've had it before and it was good. This time the plate was heaping with cabbage. Don't get me wrong I like some cabbage in my stir fry but thus was over the top. I believe to cover up the fact they had very few other veggies to add.. some of the rice was warm some was cold. We bussed our own table and paid the bill with a very small tip. Instead of trying to be a full service restaurant the should serve a very limited bar menu. read more

Love the Cameo! the food is super fast and delicious. Their bacon is the BEST. Service is good. We adore Carmen. Their have been many new faces, and they are learning the ropes of this fast paced restaurant. Over all though the service is good. Bathrooms and restaurant could use a facelift, noise level is a bit loud when they are busy. When the weather is good they have outdoor seating overlooking the golf course-beautiful setting. read more

Place is a good solid place for breakfast. we ate outside and it was really quiet and pretty with the flowers around. They were late to make my waffle but when it did come out it was delicious. they comped me for it but I still tipped like it was there. It happens but I appreciated how kind and respectful they were about the whole thing. read more

We tried it for the first time today. Food and service were great. The outdoor area is beautiful and we look forward to going back! read more

The best and fastest service. We have our family holiday breakfast here and we always love it.

food was horrible and even worse service, not coming back. Overpriced , found hair in food and very rude servers

We had a really great dinner at Cameo Cafe tonight. As an appetizer we ordered the jalapeño poppers off the bar menu and those were really tasty. My girlfriend ordered the meatloaf with mashed potatoes and she couldn't have been happier. She said everything tasted homemade. I ordered the Washington burger and it was delicious. The fries that came with it were excellent too! Our server, Linda, was very helpful and just a really nice gal to us. We definitely plan on returning soon. read more

I had friends from out of town that wanted to play golf and grab a bite to eat after. Simple enough. Came to Cameo Cafe in the parking lot of the golf course. We could tell it was def a locals gathering place. Fair enough. Portions were large for the price. Coffee was not strong enough for my liking. All was decent enough until I overhear employees chatting with each other and patrons. Our server was NOT vaccinated. One employee mentioned being anti-vax and anti-mask. I thought it was state required for all servers and kitchen staff to be vaccinated? Maybe I'm wrong, but I won't be coming back here. It didn't help that our server was coughing and hacking it up. Gross. Not cool. Nobody inside had masks on except the servers, but I don't want anyone unvaxxed cooking my food or touching my plates, esp if they are coughing and hacking and then super chaty when bringing orders over without social distancing of any kind. Won't be coming back here and my friends were so grossed out they barely touched their food. Not cool, Cameo Cafe. Not cool. read more

Good place to eat here have the best coffee and the drink are good too the menu have good choices on what it going to eat the French toast are sooo good and the pancake too read more

The food and portions are great. What is not great however is the attached bar. The bathrooms are not kept up either. You are sharing a family restaurant bathroom with the bar, so you have to leave the cafe and go to the bar area if your kid has to go potty. Soap dispensers and toilet paper are not maintained. People are already drunk at 11 AM at the attached bar and cursing loudly outside. For the safety of our family, we won't be returning. It is not the restaurant, but the bar and the patrons that make this a no-go for our family. This is a John Taffer special. read more

Italian sausage omelette was cooked way too long. Eggs were rubbery, hash browns weren't brown but oily. I took 1/2 of it home and immediately threw it out. Wait staff was okay, pleasant enough. Every part of the business looked to be from 1980. It was surprisingly noisy with few people dining. There is nothing to recommend this place. Nothing. read more

do not waste your money. food cold. service bad or nonexistent. Waitress took order and disappeared. Never saw her again until after we had paid the bill (which I requested the soup be removed from my bill) and it was). many other places to go. Was served Chicken Noodle Soup - no description on menu. Bowl came with sandwich, soup was cold, had cabbage and broccoli and ramen. No chicken. Who puts cabbage and broccoli in chicken noodle soup. What an intestinal challenge for us older guests! Put a description on the menu! Cabbage and Broccoli? I go to Cameo in Portland every Sunday but not this one in Vancouver ...never again. Just silly. I know the son of Suzie owner of Cameo, runs the Vancouver store. Suzie stays in Portland store. So much better in Portland. read more

Great local restaurant and bar overlooking the golf course at Green Meadows. Excellent food and great outdoor seating with an extensive HH menu . A plus that the HH has extended hours.

The bar is not connected to the restaurant or the golf course which I found out when I sat outside on the patio and heard the f-bomb shouted out non stop on a Sunday afternoon. I use the f- bomb myself on occasion so not shocked by it but I use it discreetly to my companions in public. I guess some people don't have manners so if you're expecting common courtesy don't come here. The bartender was not sympathetic to my view so won't be coming back. She did pour a stout vodka tonic. read more
