We went there for dinner a few weeks ago and it was terrible. Liver and onions were dried up and my country fried steak was burned. Went there this morning for breakfast and it was worse. Got 2 eggs, bacon and sausage and biscuits and gravy. The bacon and sausage were burnt and the biscuits and gravy I would not even serve to my dogs just a runny mess with no taste to it. Canned sausage and gravy is better. Tried to give this place another chance after not being to it for a few years when it was bad and now they have gotten worse. Do not understand how they are getting 4 or 5 stars but I think its the liberals from Portland that are doing this. We live out in the country and expect better food. read more

Came in 14 minutes to closing, sat at the front for about 6 minutes then the server sat us with a passive statement about how they were trying to figure out if they were still open or not because they close in 2 minutes. Ugh no you close in 8 minutes I have a watch? Also why is there open sign on still if they didn't want to continue to seat people not only was the open sign on but there was another sign out front of the door hand written also said open? Felt super rushed and still left before the family there eating when we got there. The salad and onion rings were the best. Server had no knowledge of spirits behind the bar. The French dip reminded me of a pulled pork sandwich it was awful. The burger was not the best thing either. The salad was amazing, was confused why my shot came in this shot glass? I guess don't go close to closing read more

Food is always great. Lots of food for the price. You can buy 1 cinnamon roll that can feed 6. The pancakes were fantastic. Omelettes are good. So much to choose from too. Service great and it's set in a beautiful huge cabin, 18 miles from Seaside Oregon. read more

I have been going for years and lately I have been disappointed. The razor clams are good but over priced compared to other restaurants. Trout sometimes it's good and sometimes not depending on the chef that day. Same as breakfast omelettes. If you get a bad chef, the eggs taste like they came out of a can. The wine is always a poor choice. read more

This letter was sent to Camp 18 via "snail mail." I did not receive a response and sent requests via Facebook Messenger asking for a response to the letter. None was forthcoming. My last message asked for a reply, or I would put this letter on Yelp. Again, no reply. Here is the letter I sent: Camp 18 Gift Shop & Restaurant 42362 Highway 26 Seaside, OR 97138 ATTN: General Manager/Owner July 21, 2024 Today my wife and I arrived at your property at about 10:15 AM. We were seated within about 5-8 minutes. Our server met us soon after and brought us water. We were ready to order at that time and placed our order for chicken fried steak with eggs over easy and a kielbasa skillet with side order of sausage gravy. We also asked for a cinnamon roll "to go." My wife had water to drink while I had coffee. We watched people come into the restaurant after us, getting served their food while we waited for ours. One group of four people walked in at the same time we did. They were done with their meal and were at the cash register even before we had our food. At about 11:25 AM my wife was in the restroom and I was writing a note saying we were leaving and I was going to leave $10.00 for my cup of coffee. As my wife was walking back to the table, I was finishing up my note and our food arrived. I previously noticed our server was having difficulty with a large group at a table, apparently sorting out their bills, so I elected not to say anything at that time. Our server only said; "Sorry about the wait." She never came back to check on our breakfast, or offer my wife any more water. My chicken fried steak was hard and tough, appearing burnt. I could hit it with a fork and the fork bounced off. The easy over eggs were hard. The gravy was only warm. I did finally something hot, the potatoes under the chicken fried steak. My wife's skillet suffered from similar issues. The scrambled eggs on her skillet were dried out and hard. It appeared our breakfast had been sitting under some form of heat for quite some time, waiting to be picked up. We gave up and only ate about 1/3 of our meals. My protein was not really edible. When our server finally did come back and saw we were not eating she asked how our breakfast was? My wife had already advised me not to say what I thought. Her reply, after a delay was, an "OK" where her tone let you knew it wasn't really OK. Our server's response was she was sorry, and asked if she could bring us anything else. My wife said, no, that we were ready to leave. Our server completely forgot the cinnamon roll to go. We were ready to leave and did not mention it again. We had a long drive to get home. We decided to eat day old "Taco Bell" burritos and tacos on the way home instead of taking our leftovers with us. From our receipt: Table #33.1. Server 10001/AM Cash. Check#1338. Bill total $46.75. I left a $5.00 tip only because the cashier was watching me fill out the document. We have been to Camp 18 numerous times in the past when visiting my family on Hwy 26, just outside of Seaside. It has always been a treat for us. This time it was most definitely not the treat we had waited for. I don't intend to publish a poor review over one bad visit to Camp 18. The favor or your response is requested. read more

Ew. I don't know what was nastier, the state of the bathrooms or the waitress's attitude. The food was bland, the bathrooms were disgustingly grimey, the waitress was slow and kept condescendingly calling me "hun." Don't get me wrong, sometimes "hun/honey/sweetie" can be incredibly endearing, but the snide look on her face and her tone made her intent clear- it wasn't friendly. She also kept complaining about the kitchen staff. I assumed I was just overthinking, so I put a smile on, brushed this off and didn't say anything. As we were walking out, my boyfriend commented about how unprofessional she was too though! I paid $12 for a soggy piece of toast and some bacon. My boyfriend's biscuits and gravy were decent and the view was lovely. The building itself is quite charming, but I wouldn't come back to be spoken to that way again. read more

Not actually in Seaside, it's 18 miles (thus the name) up the highway towards Portland. If you've already left the coast and don't want to wait till you get to Hillsboro, which is a long drive, to eat, this is your only choice. And it's not a bad choice. It's a huge lodge-like restaurant with a basic American menu. You have the option of a starch side with your entree, and it also comes unannounced with vegetable, which in this case was green beans with a lot of bacon in them, quite delicious. So was my entree, which was breaded trout. Service was a little iffy. The waitress who seated me and took my order was competent but age had slowed down her response time and speed of comprehension. However, another younger and brisker waitress also showed up and took care of other things for me. read more

Stopped in for breakfast, was busy but we were seated as quickly as stated, friendly staff, delicious breakfast; French toast, bacon, omelet and toast. A really nice stop for a bite to eat either going to the beach or coming home read more

A unique experience with great food, service, and ambiance. Has a rocking chair front porch and a gift shop. Great stop as you're passing through. read more

Fun place to eat with simple wholesome meals offered. Breakfast menu served until 2pm. Service was great with just enough check ups to keep our table happy. Wife had the French dip with crunchy fries. I had the county steak (breaded portion of round steak) with mashed potatoes and gravy making everything happy! Log buildings are a work of art and the logging history is nice to share. We forget Oregon's trees farms are a huge source of our economy. read more

The good the food was really good. The service was alright although they were really kind they took a while to get me and my family's order and food so we had to wait there for about 30 minutes. The ambience was like everyone was having a great time but at the same time quiet because there weren't many there. read more

We stopped in here mid day for a late lunch. I don't have comment on the food because we were never actually seated. There were 3 parties ahead of us and 20 minutes later none of us had been seated. People just kept coming in but no one leaving. All we saw were tables full of people holding menus. I never really saw any staff except the lady at the hostess station and another lady walking around eating soup. 100% understaffed. No communication. We ended up leaving and eating at Sunset Highway Diner about 20 minutes saway read more

Service was great! Love the log cabin environment and lit fireplace. The cinnamon rolls are massive and delicious as well as the hot chocolate. The food was diner quality, so not a "knock your socks off" kind of food, but still great! Food is a bit pricey but its getting harder to find places that aren't. read more

Managed to get here before 2pm so they wouldn't be closed. The place was busy. The waitress seemed rushed and never smiled. The water is served in small cups, so we drained them quickly, and had to wait a long time before the waitress came by offering refills. The food took over thirty minutes to come out. It all tasted good though. I liked how the fries were crisp on the outside but soft on the inside. My partner liked my trout better than his burger, but the burger was good too. Their pancakes are plate size. My kid wants more than one if we come here again. Their pies are served in bowls because they have more filling that crust. For that reason and because they were overpriced, I likely won't order one again. Oh, and i wasn't impressed with the biscuit, so i will try cornbread next time. read more

We stopped here and had the absolute best time. The service was kind and quick. I had a full pot of coffee to myself. The beautiful space has views of the river in some seats or you get to enjoy all the trappings of this rustic lodge like setting. The food is fairly priced and the portions are hearty. I saw three grown men leave with take home boxes. I ordered the biscuits and gravy- perhaps it could have used more seasoning but that's why they stock Tabasco. read more

Hello to the best place around. We arrived during the lunch hour, very busy, waited about 25 minutes for a table, and worth the wait. The service was amazing, the food was delicious, and the whole experience was wonderful. I loved the atmosphere there. Everyone was friendly and attentive to all our needs. I was very happy with our waitress, as I tend to drink a lot of water, and she was always right there to fill my glass when it was empty. After we finished our lunch, we went into your gift shop. Oh, my goodness, there were so many awesome things to choose from. I purchased an adorable calico kitty stuffed animal. She was so soft and huggable. Sadly, somewhere between there and home, I lost her. I went on your website to purchase another one to replace it and could not order from the website. that was the ONLY downfall I found with this place. I recommend everyone to eat here on your way to or from the beach. We will certainly be back for more food and souvenirs! Thank you again for the amazing service we received. Mr. & Mrs. Scott Fuge read more

Stopped in to Camp 18 after leaving Cannon Beach heading to Idaho. Neat restaurant with a gift shop. We were able to sit on the patio with our dog. Service was just okay however this was just limited to our server. She was fairly slow to take our orders and then she didn't come back to check on us. My husband had to go back into the restaurant to ask for her. But other servers were moving very quickly and super friendly. Maybe our server was just having an off day. Food was decent and would consider it again in the future. read more

Really cute stop on the way to Seaside with my friend and the kiddo. There was a shortage of staff so we ordered to go - 2 clam chowders and some chicken wings. It took about 20 mins but I really enjoyed the food! Chowder was hot and hearty (more on the salty side but I prefer it that way) and the wings were freshly fried. I would recommend stopping by here for a light snack and walking around the grounds! read more

I have one word for the current Camp 18 .vs what people remember.....shrinkflation. Every ingredient is the bargain basement version of that ingredient. If I wanted that for breakfast I could have just shopped at Grocery Outlet. I have a lot of great memories of the food and unfortunately they are just that now. What a shame. read more

Haven't been here for a while, so decided to stop for dinner on the way to the beach. First- the prices have been raised probably because of inflation. Just an FYI. We started with a bowl of chowder. HUGE! Really good think clam chowder. Lots of clams and potatoes. Took home about half. The cod fish and chips was amazing. 4 huge pieces of Cod-great tarter sauce and fries. Surprisingly one if tge better fish and chips around here. My wife had a blt- liked it but regretted not adding cheese. The marion berry cobbler was so good. Had it before and our memory was accurate. Defense order it heated with ice cream. Good night except for the power going out. read more

On the suggestion of a friend, we came to see the old lumber mill machines, a museum of sorts and to have a bite to eat including their huge cinnamon roll. This review is about the restaurant. Beautiful building. The ambiance is very woodsman, with game and antlers throughout. A lot of wood sculptures. Beautiful lamps, large and small tables. Even a few around a fireplace. On our visit it was pretty empty. But I won't let that take away from the customer service. We were greeted immediately and offered a choice of tables. The menu was pretty simple and straight forward. The prices were similar to other restaurants like this that we've dined at. A little high but not outrageous. My partner ordered a the 1/3lb cheeseburger and I opted for the Foch and chips. I also tasted their white, sausage gravy that they put on their chicken fried steak. It was pretty good and I'm fairly certain I tasted chicken broth/bouillon in it. It made it slightly different than other typical recipes. It also was not loaded with black pepper, which is a smart move as you can always add pepper but you can't take it away. Even though it was tasty, as I said, I chose the fish and chips. We sampled each other's food and agree with the assessment here. The food is very good for "other than fresh" food. The cheeseburger was cooked to a perfect medium, American cheese, onion, lettuce tomato. The patty was the typical frozen patty but tasted fine. The other ingredients were fresh. We would order this again but it's not something special. The fish was beer battered, better than panko, cod. Four pieces, about 3-4 inches and thicker than most, maybe an inch. The fish was unremarkable. It was definitely frozen but did not taste bad in anyway. It just wasn't as good as I had hoped. The fries were delicious, hot and fresh. Perfectly cooked. Portions were good. Not huge but more than adequate. The cinnamon roll was delicious! And huge! We both took a couple of bites and brought it home. He cut it in 4 pieces and each enjoyed a piece. The roll is soft and doughy. Not in an undercooked way but just as a good roll should be. At first sight, I didn't feel there was much cinnamon but there was plenty in the roll itself. The glaze over the top was very good, not sickening sweet but sweet. And they top it all off with a ball of butter. Very good. This I would recommend. Our server was friendly and even laughed at my corny comments. She checked on us a couple of times. Not to much but we never felt like we were forgotten. The food was 3 star but the ambiance and service boosted it to 4 stars. I leave you with this thought... The next time we come in, I'd try some of their homemade dinners. Meatloaf, chicken fried steak... something that is likely prepared and cooked in house. I'm guessing they do a great job with those and I'd try their breakfast as well. read more

Outside of this place, being a beautiful large log cabin with a river running behind it The food is mediocre and service isn't five-star either! It's pretty darn bad when you go and you are planted at a table for 20 minutes with only water & menu and you have to go find a waitress to serve you and it's a Wednesday at 1:00 pm and the place was hardly busy, just a handful of tables occupied. Food is slow coming whatever time you go! We have visited different hours. The potatoes are probably frozen and tasteless, we aren't fans. The bacon is fatty. They did the eggs OK and sourdough toast. The coffee creamers were curdled, leaving white chunks in my coffee, which was gross. The people that tend the gift shop are great, and always friendly and helpful! read more

2nd time we stopped here on the way to the coast. The dining room is huge with lots of wood. I had the veggie omelet - veggies cooked perfectly. Came with 1/2 plate of hash browns that were pretty cold. Biscuit was big and had a great texture and flavor. Service is always fast and friendly! read more

We stopped in for breakfast on our way out of Seaside on March 13, 2025. We were taken to a table after a short wait, given menus, water and ignored. We had to ask another server for the coffee we ordered after waiting at least 15 minutes. Our server never returned and we had to ask for someone to get our server so we could place our order. When she finally came by, she had a blank expression and offered no apology for ignoring us. Server #10001. Food was meh, nothing special. If you are a person of color, don't bother stopping here and expect to get decent service. read more

Camp 18 is a SHOW! Great food, lethal cinnamon bun, and what a way to go! Family owned and run.

We've driven by this place so many times on our way to the coast, but because we had a party of six, and one couple had been there before, we met up there. What a charming place from the second you hit the porch! Plenty to see and a cozy, but large space. The hot tea came in a pot, which is always a delighter. I had a skillet and asked to swap the Polish sausage for bacon with no trouble. Biscuits were big and fluffy. We'll definitely return! read more

On our way to Seaside we stopped here. This is actually our second time. The food is great but the service is not. We were basically forgotten which really sucked considering we enjoyed our meal. We had planned to order cinnamon rolls to go but they never came back to check on us so we didn't want to chance it and order it just for them to forget about us in the store. I guess I should add that there was a wait but there is a cute little store next door which has cute items. We actually got the jelly which I thought they made themselves but the cashier told me (after I purchased it) that someone made it for them. I like the window seats towards the back. I will come back again but will wear a neon shirt with flashing lights so that they see me every time they pass me (which they did a lot but just never checked on us). ... .. ... .................... read more

The best! We travel from Milwaukie just for the cinnamon rolls. If you like French fries, be sure to get there after 10 am. And the liver and onions is delicious. Go hungry. They serve generous portions. Try to get a window seat so you can watch the blue jays. read more
