Lovely stop for lunch in early July. We've driven past this place for decades. Today, my husband wanted to stop for lunch. I wasn't intrigued or even interested. I thought I knew what we'd experience--diner food. I was right, and I was incredibly wrong. First of all, my husband likes diner food--so do all the men in my life. Say, "Ham Slab," which the menu does have, and the men in my life have a dilemma because that sounds so damn good to them. They tell me their conclusion is evidence-based. But I digress. We were seated immediately, even though the restaurant was busy--it was a calm, busy; an intelligent busy. The wait staff was expert, and I marveled at the calm, purposeful, professional way the tables were quickly cleared, cleaned and readied for the next guest. We were there about an hour, and no table was left untended. Everything was calm, graceful, and peaceful--and it was busy. I appreciate businesses like this. The interior is amazing--massive old growth timber, history captured on the walls and in the beautiful tables--even the check in / paying counter is a work of art in the old growth timber. We were lucky to sit by the windows that face the creek, woods, and the multiple bird feeders, which were visited by colorful, local birds. Lovely. Lunch was diner food, but great diner food. My salad was fresh and exactly what I wanted. My husband's omelette, biscuit, potatoes and whatever else were perfectly cooked; he loved it. The service was thoughtful with multiple check ins with out being intrusive. As people came and went, the tables were quietly and quickly cleared and cleaned. Within minutes new guests were seated. Our wait person delivered our check and told us where to pay--there was no waiting, no confusion. Bonus: we had time on a beautiful July day, so we wandered through the grounds outside the restaurant. We particularly enjoyed the short trail through the woods; it was a great stroll after our lunch. Satisfied, we left, vowing to return to this very special place. read more

Drove 21/2 hours to be extremely disappointed. I ordered the Eggs Benedict and my eggs were overcooked...like hard. The english mudfin was burnt. My husband had a bacon cheeseburger that literally had 1 piece of bacon and was flavorless and overcooked. I had water and brought my own flavoring and the waitress had a cow, wth. Left here severly disappointed and pissed. read more

The food was really good and the service was amazing they were really nice. It was kinda in the middle of nowhere but it's worth it read more

We live in North Carolina, but my Dad is from Oregon. Everytime we get to Oregon, Camp 18 is a must. Amazing clam chowder.

The place is spectacular. Hugh and very interesting. The food is just average and a tad expensive.

I haven't been to Camp 18 in over 30 years, last time I was here Kyrstin was around 6 years old. The food was what I remembered except for the potato's...I guess you can't expect perfection. I got the combo monster stack, eggs sausage, bacon and potatoes. My wife loved her French Toast with Marrionberry syrup. read more

Camp 18 Restaurant - American Near Me - Seaside, Oregon

I have been visiting Camp 18 for many years, and have fond childhood memories of stopping here on the way to the coast. The atmosphere here is the biggest reason to stop, both inside and outside. There are plenty of historical logging-related items around to look at and read about, and the inside of the lodge itself has such a great feel of stepping back in time and really understanding the soul of the place. This is very Pacific Northwest. It's hard to describe the sheer size of these giant logs, you just have to stand next to them. I have always had positive experiences with the friendly waitstaff, and restrooms have been clean (at the very least, far cleaner than anywhere nearby). There is a small gift-shop area here too (very small area but with useful things like mugs and hats) so if you forgot to get a keepsake at the beach you have another chance to find a good one. I would put the food at a solid 3-star "okay". It is all good, it's just mostly very typical diner-food that you could get anywhere. On this visit I got a BLT on sourdough with fries; normally I do a burger with a slice of marionberry pie (one of the few menu items I'd consider a local specialty). They were happy to do a to-go order, and I enjoyed my meal outdoors while admiring the beautiful nearby forested areas. In summary, this is a must-stop if you're in the area, just know that you aren't necessarily there for the food. read more

Fun family tradition to stop on the way to the beach! Cool inside and outside for kids & the food is delicious. Love coming in!

We stopped in for lunch a couple of days ago on our way home from Seaside. We've eaten there a few times before, but I guess we forgot that it's nothing special. The food is average, the service is so-so, and they really could stand to update the menu. The restaurant is in need of a deep cleaning and a bit of 'freshening up'. It's a landmark for sure, but next time we drive by that way , we'll give it a pass. read more

Stopped at about 8:45 on a Monday late September, had breakfast wife had biscuits and gravy combo, I had French toast combo food good came out very fast not a lot people. Good service and good food. read more

I ordered food to go, maybe that's why it wasn't great? I called in the order, picked it up 10 minutes later, and I'm still confused how the fries were freezing cold, soggy and the tuna sandwich soaked. Plus Diet Pepsi? Just no. Even if they cooked it immediately when I called it in it couldn't have been like that, right? Will give them points though, for the fun ambiance and the quick service. read more

Amazing looking place, food on the other hand has went way down hill I was not impressed, I had clam chowder, sister had a omelette and looked like froze potato's very boring omelette was very bwhat so ever the grounds are impressive food unimpressive read more

This place has amazing food. We stopped in on our trip from Kansas City to Seaside Beach, and we were rather pleasantly surprised by the entire experience. Our order was taken within a minute of being seated, and our food came out within ten minutes of ordering. We ordered hot chocolates, pancakes, cinnamon roll French toast, clam chowder as well as the razor clam breakfast. Everything we ordered was above expectations, and the serving sizes were very generous. We ended up happily taking plenty of leftovers for the road. Beautiful atmosphere and very attentive waitresses. We will be stopping in again on our next trip out this way! read more

A PNW institution and welcome respite from a long drive. Generous portions of food. Lovely historic atmosphere!

Awesome staff, service and food! Thank you all! Lot's of parking, gift shop and antique logging equipment outside. read more

Food was poorly made and not nicest place to eat at because of the staff. If you're a person of color I don't recommend eating here. The people that reside in the area along with the staff aren't color folk friendly. I was refused service because of my appearance and was told I had been watched since walking in. I dozed off while waiting for my food due to fishing at 5am which they didn't care about. They treated me as if I was on drugs and was going to rob the place/ dine and dash. Worst experience I have ever had at a restaurant that can't cook a decent omelet. read more

Been coming here for 30 plus years and have never been disappointed. We had a big brunch with about 17 of us today and the food and service was top notch! Extremely grateful that my kids will have the same great fond memories of this place as I do. read more

A family tradition to pass through here for those famous cinnamon rolls. Fare is pretty standard but portions are very generous. Service was quick. Waitress was very nice. Ambience is warm and cozy inside. Outside are bird feeders, a water powerhouse, and even an elephant sculpture by the creek. Such a lovely location for any time of day you are feeling hungry! read more

Hands down a very nice place to stop and eat. A lot of history here. The food was great, the service super, the atmosphere the tops. Huge log cabin, old pics on the wall. Next time we're down in the area definitely will be back read more

Delicious and incredible old timber world ambiance. Those cinnamon rolls are huge and amazing!!! read more

The service was good. Though it was fairly busy, we were quickly seated and our server promptly took our order. Two of the four people in our party ordered the country fried steak. The servings were substantial. Both country fried steaks were well seasoned and enjoyable. The potatoes that accompanied one meal were well cooked, though the potatoes on the other plate were under-cooked and hard. Definitely inconsistent quality from plate to plate. My daughter's cinnamon roll was enormous...practically the size of her head. She described it as the "best ever". It was big enough that she will have leftovers for days. The ambiance was casual and lumberjack in style.There were some maintenance issues which took slightly away from the overall experience. In particular, the table was wobbly and the 2nd toilet in the ladies room was disconcertingly unstable. When we mentioned the latter to the server, the server noted that this had been an ongoing issue, having been repaired several times. read more

Amazing food and setting. An AMERICAN experience. Huge portions of well prepared authentic American classics.

Good diner food in rustic log cabin. A classic enroute to the Oregon coast. Don't be scared off by tour buses- they are a transfer point only read more

My cousin recommended this place and I absolutely love it here. Their breakfast was phenomenal. And there cinnamon roll to die for.

This place is a cool piece of history and a nice spot for breakfast. Very nice staff and good food. The HUGE cinnamon roll is indeed HUGE and very tasty! Just about halfway between Portland and the coast, it's a brilliant place to stop. Not just a great ambiance but great food too! read more

Camp 18 Restaurant - HUGE cinnamon roll! - American Near Me - Seaside, Oregon

I was very disappointed by pretty much everything at this restaurant. The French dip I ordered was not only a sad excuse for any meat sandwich, there was like no meat on it at all and it was $18. The coffee was burnt, and there was a dirty spoon in it. On top of this, the food made me super sick and the service was terrible. read more

The food is consistently good. Wait times are a bit longer than usual but that is to be expected at the moment with COVID affecting staffing everywhere. Masking is required u less eating or drinking- there are signs up at the entrance stating this. It IS NOT being enforced, however, not even by their own staff. Talk about disrespectful and actually, against current state laws. Our waitress was very happy to get in everyone's space with a mask hanging around her neck. Their open kitchen was a viewpoint into other co workers removing their masks as well and what appeared to be a manager doing the same. We'll pass the next time we are headed to the coast until they can take this seriously. read more

A family favorite for years seems to be in a bit of trouble. The prices have dramatically increased - understandable considering Supply-Chain issues and a challenging economy. Once seated, it took 15 minutes for somebody to take our orders. After another 15 minutes, we had seen nobody and still had no water or drinks, so we left. It was odd, as the servers and bus staff were meandering around with little sense of urgency. Advice: If you want to survive a tough economy that has forced you to raise your prices, you need to provide basic service. read more

Camp 18 is a great spot to stop for a bite to eat on your way to or from the coast. We'd meant to stop for years (we drive through to look at the logging equipment which is worth the time as well!) but never made it until last week, and it was well worth the stop. Staff was friendly, the restaurant was clean, and it has a ton of character with its carvings and massive wooden beams. The breakfast was excellent as well, including the massive cinnamon roll our party shared. (When they say huge they mean huge.) The portions in general are large, so be prepared. Some reviews mention declining quality or wait times. We went at peak breakfast time on a weekend and were seated quickly with no other patrons in our space. Service was fast and efficient, and we got to watch the cute critters outside on the deck from our window seat. Definitely make time in your next beach trip for a stop! read more

Service and ambiance was great! LOVED the decor and walking around outside to see all the old machinery was really neat! Food was ok. We ordered a kids hamburger and a chicken avacado salad. My kid said hers was pretty good. Salad was ok. Lots of olives (green and black) which kinda just took the salad over with salty flavor. We were starving so still grateful for the food. Again we loved the staff and might stop again just for the nostalgia of the place read more

Camp 18 Restaurant - Outside is dog friendly! Really cool old machines all over the beautiful property! - American Near Me - Seaside, Oregon

We stopped in last night and it did not go well. Waitress was extremely rude throughout the dining experience. Acted like we were bothering her being there. :-( The busboy however was great. My trout was ok but only vegtables offered were peas and carrots which are not good for a keto diet so, they let me sub a salad. My wife had chicken fried steak that was tasteless. The gravy was sausage gravy which I found odd. Hopefully they can get back on their game. read more

Fun place for a very filling breakfast! Great coffee too! Server was delightful and attentive.

As the name suggests this is a thing camp themed restaurant. In fact, restaurant is an understatement. It's a camp, with a massive log cabin compound (containing both restaurant and gift shop) and lots of old logging equipment on the grounds. I mean big equipment including railroad cars and stream skidders and such. It's kind of a logging museum really. Food is standard American breakfast and burgers and such. Nothing special, but all decently prepared. Standard American coffee in the Folgers tradition (i.e. not fancy). They leave you your pen carafe so you don't have to wait on refills, which I always appreciate. Despite being an obvious tourist attraction there is a solid local contingent eating here. read more

Location, building is amazing. The views of the water and trees is wonderful. Cute little gift shop. Like with anything the food was hit and miss for each of us. Trout breakfast and Razor clams breakfast was liked. Biscuits gravy great. Neither myself or my son liked the chicken fried steak or potatoes. The chicken fry was burned, its hand battered but burned and the potatoes are either sautéed or if requested crispy they just deep frying them. My husband didn't love his omelette so some things were great and some thinks not but the environment was lovely. read more

Great place to stop for lunch or dinner on Hwy 26 going to or from the beach. Beautiful log construction. Big dining room. Quick and caring servers. Yummy food. The menu is slightly above the level of diner food. I had the grilled cheese with avocado/tomato and a side salad that was fresh and not iceberg lettuce. My husband had liver and onions which was perfectly cooked, tender, and came with a side of mashed potatoes/gravy. Plenty of interesting logging memorabilia to look at while waiting for food. Lively atmosphere. Would stop here again. read more

Enjoyed a fabulous thanksgiving dinner at Camp 18. Our first ever. It was extremely busy, and without reservations there'd be "no service" available. The food was excellent served "family style." Prime rib and turkey with all the fixins'. read more
