Food came out on time was absolutely delicious. My sister ended up getting a hot pastrami sandwich which she loved. She added on fries instead of the chips. I ordered the double smash patty burger and I opted for tater tots instead of chips. My burger was absolutely phenomenal. The bread held up with all of the juices coming off the burger. I highly recommend this place. Check it out and have some fun playing pinball or ski ball or anything else. read more

Found this brewery completely by accident while taking a walk from my hotel, so I decided to stop in and give it a try. Maybe I caught them on an off day, especially after reading some of the other reviews, but unfortunately the overall atmosphere felt a little unwelcoming. None of the employees seemed particularly happy to be there--there wasn't much smiling, conversation, or enthusiasm. I ordered a single smash burger, and the food came out pretty quickly. The burger smelled amazing while it was cooking, which had me looking forward to a flavorful smash burger. Unfortunately, it was almost completely lacking in flavor. It tasted like they may have forgotten to season the meat. I really wanted to enjoy this place, and maybe I just caught them on a bad day, but based on my experience, it was just an average visit. read more

Canteen by Camp Colvos - Single Smash Burger - New American Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

The Canteen is located inside the Seven Seas brewery. The burgers are good. I had mine with sweet potato fries. Nice crispness to the fries. Service is like a fast food outlet - you order your food and then eat it within the brewery (hopefully with a good beer). The vibe is just right as the attached brewery creates a great atmosphere. read more

I spent the day in Tacoma today visiting the LeMay Car Museum which I highly recommend for car buffs and non-car buffs alike. After, we got lunch at the 7 Seas Brewing Company Taproom. It is located only a 5-minute drive from the car museum. We got yummy Smashburgers (comes with chips) and fries at Canteen by Camp Colvos. For drinks, we got a couple of sodas at Canteen, a Willie Maize Hazy IPA on tap at the 7 Seas bar, and I tried a refreshing Lavender Patch (16 oz iced sparkling espresso with lavender syrup and yuzu lemonade) at Naomi Joe Coffee. They have some pinball machines, free water at the back, and a party room you can rent. As with most breweries, it is family-friendly. I love the laid-back and friendly atmosphere of this place. They sell cool merch and have a neat display in honor of the historic Heidelberg Brewing Company of Tacoma that dates back to 1912. read more

Canteen by Camp Colvos - New Double Classic Smashburger - New American Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

My family enjoyed our lunch here while having some beers from 7 Seas. They had a few vegetarian options, which we appreciated. Unfortunately, they make the grilled cheese from American cheese so my five year old wouldn't eat it. Luckily, the coffee kiosk next door had a goat cheese Chimichurri croissant, which she loved (why is my five year old so extra?). The food came out super fast, which was great because my kids were dying to get to the museum across the street. read more

DELICIOUS burger at the Canteen, right inside 7 Seas Brewing! I was quite hungry after flying into town and walking around the Museum of Glass for a bit, so I walked over to 7 Seas for some lunch and a drink. I had read reviews that their smash burgers were some of the best around, so I was excited to try! I typically would just get a pretty basic one, but the special they had going on sounded too good to not try - The "Gary Busey" Burger. This smash burger had two patties on a potato bun w/tots, shredded cheddar cheese, scallions, lettuce, tomato, and a scallion ranch sauce. This burger was divine, people were not lying that this is one of the best smash burgers I've ever had. Great flavors but although it sounds like a lot it truly wasn't too overwhleming. Amazing crispiness on the outer edges, and you'll always win me over with a potato bun. It was easy to order at the counter and pick up my food which was ready very quickly. Highly, highly recommend if you're looking for a good quality smash burger! read more

Shares the space with Seven Seas brewery. I ordered a single smash burger with a side of Tator tots. Super delicious burger on a fresh bun. With fresh veggies typically found in a burger. Lettuce and tomato slices. A few dill pickles and delicious! The side of sauce has a slight spicy horseradish r which I did not care for. Glad it was the side. And how can you go wrong with fried tator tots? Crispy and hot! Friendly service. Order at the counter and take your buzzer to wherever you're sitting.it buzzes when your order is ready. Perfect food to eat with beer. SYOY! read more

Thought we were headed to a restaurant, which we sorta were, and thought it would look like a restaurant, which from the outside it most definitely did not. Once we figured out that the industrial shell below the empty-lot encampments was our destination, and once we stepped inside and up the massive staircase to the actual place, we found ourselves in a vast high-ceilinged hall populated with vast wooden tables and more than a few families out for Sunday lunch. A big bar brought home the brewery root of this establishment -- 7 Seas, specifically -- with two dozen banners announcing available quaffs for a wide range of tastes. Shortly, our room scan brought our eyes to the food source, our reason for being here. A short line of patrons stood reading laminated menus. We took our place among them, found the offerings adequate, and placed two similar orders: smash burgers and fries and cans of Coke. We claimed a space at the end of one shared table, with a big gap between us and the young family at the other end, and began a longer-than-expected wait for our simple meal. We passed the time watching a whirlwind of children, almost entirely elementary age, racing from table to table, pounding on arcade games, and intermittently reconnecting with their parents (most of whom sipped pints from the bar while visiting with friends and family). Our buzzer announced the food, which came in plastic baskets, and we got to work. We both judged the single burger adequate, though a double is the default. The single did leave a couple of bites a little lacking in meat. They were good nonetheless, with lettuce/tomato/onion/pickle toppings and a special sauce. (A gluten-free bun is available for an extra $1.) Both regular fries and sweet potato fries were hefty, well browned, and not oily; good job there. Altogether, a dramatic upgrade from typical fast-food burger joints, but at double the cost. Beers would have been fun to try, but they didn't figure into our day plan. Someday the timing might work out for another session. Two points: 1) This place is loud! The game corner and excited children echoing against hard surfaces made for a high ambient dB level, and 2) No TV screens!? Unless we missed something, this seemed a bit like a sports bar without the sports. Good for a change, especially when seeing kids so active rather than staring blankly at entertainment. We had little interaction with the staff, but all were at least friendly and at least one ebullient. read more

Fun great place! I love 7 Seas brewing, mainly because they brought back Heidelberg beer which is light and tasty. Canteen has moved into the kitchen area. They make sandwiches and burgers and other delicious foods! I had the beef and cheese. It is one of the best sandwiches I have had in a long time. Thin cut beef, with melted Beecher's, it also has grilled onions and pickled peppers. It is delicious!! Great friendly service along with being in an awesome venue. It is conveniently located in a great brewery so you can always enjoy a tasty beverage with your food. Kids are welcome! read more

Great food. Quick service. The venue is legit and energetic (7 Seas Brewery). Overall very good food! However, I'd say the quality of the food for what you pay is slightly mediocre. I got the burger special of the night and it was once of my favorite burgers ever! I just wish I could've paid $2 less for it.. read more

This is an awesome place. It's like a huge warehouse with food and beer. I think there's an arcade and coffee shop also. I was extremely hungover when I went but the pastrami sandwich with creamy cocktail sauce made me feel so much better. Or maybe it was the flight of beer I had! I don't know but I will definitely come back here when I'm in the Tacoma area... read more

Canteen by Camp Colvos is a small area in the Tacoma 7 Seas Brewery location in which they prepare mostly sandwich or hamburger type items mainly geared for customers that are enjoying 7 Seas beer and want a bite of something. Camp Colvos is a brewery and restaurant in which they have a larger location just a block or block and a half away in which they serve pizzas and their beer. And the original Caml Colvos location is on nearby Vashon Island where they have a fairly extensive food menu. The space where Canteen is now is where Built used to be in which they once served food here before moving to a larger location. Apparently making that move was not in their best interest because that restaurant is completely defunct and permanently closed. With Canteen I have had their sandwiches a couple of times. I had their Smashburger which goes well with many of the beer choices available at the taproom. And another time I got a simple grilled cheese sandwich which was very doable. Perhaps not quite as memorable as the predecessor of this cooking space Canteen still meets the needs just fine with hungry and munchy brewery patrons. read more

So, we went to 7 Seas and knew that 3uilt was no longer there. We were hoping something similarly vegetarian and carnivore friendly would be coming. Unfortunately, I wasn't super thrilled with the canteen menu. Although there are two veggie pasties, a salad, pretzel, and tots on the menu, It's nowhere near the healthy vegetarian menu that was available before. There isn't even a vegetarian burger, not that I would have been super excited about that. Maybe I'm just picky? The tots, however, were tasty and well seasoned and I'm not even a potato fan. The aioli is also really yummy. All in all, if you want a burger, I saw a lot of people really enjoying their burgers! If you want healthy veggie food, you may want to bring something with you and just enjoy the beer, cider, kombucha, and root beer. read more

Canteen by Camp Colvos - Tater tots - New American Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

We were kind of sad to see 3uilt leave, but at the same time not really because of their bloated prices (see my scathing 3uilt review if you have nothing better to do). We ordered tots, a meat pie, and a pretzel. Everything was quite good. The meat pie seemed slightly overpriced for the portion size, but the pastry was quite good. It seems like a no brainer to put a food joint inside of a brewery. Keep your prices reasonable and you have guaranteed customers. We will eat here again for sure. read more

Inconvenient location up a flight of stairs, but they do have an elevator. (It takes a while so be patient) Food menu is limited, burgers do not come with sides, and if you order a side be sure to share it with your party because it is more than enough for one person. Food was ok, not memorable. The canned soft drinks for sale are not that great either, so if you're not a beer or liquor drinker, it's disappointing. Service was underwhelming, staff didn't seem particularly cheerful, but they were being productive in the open kitchen. The canteen is located inside a large building with an open floor plan, housing the 7 Seas brewery and taproom; which has a bar area, arcade, and spread out long tables to accommodate many patrons. I was surprised to see so many customers with small children, but it was still early afternoon, so I guess it's the norm? read more

I've eaten more hamburgers than I could possibly count in my decades on this planet. In all honesty, the smash burger I had last week at the Canteen is likely the best one I've ever eaten. The burger was fresh and had the perfect amount of condiments and vegetables. It was grilled to perfection and the bun was fresh. Guess what! I had another burger a few days later with my wife and they were both the same. Perfectly cooked and prepared. Both times I had the tots. They were cooked so that the center was cooked through and through, yet the outside wasn't over done. I mean there was a light crunch on the outside. They weren't soggy or oily. Fresh and lightly salted so I didn't need to add salt. But the over the top part was the dipping sauce they serve with the tots. Flavorgasm! OMG it's amazing. It even has a little heat which brings out the flavor without setting your mouth on fire. My wife had the sweet potato fries which was kind of the shape of a snowflake. They were not wimpy soggy sweet potato fries like other places we've had them. These were actually cooked inside with a light crunch on the outside. Whoever cooks their fries knows what they're doing. ALSO, these pieces of deliciousness came with their own dipping sauce which was kind of like a sweet mustard. I don't know the recipe, but it paired perfectly with the sweetness of the fries. If you're looking for an absolutely delicious meal, here is your place. read more

Recommended. Great service, good food, and a cool atmosphere. I like how open it is and how the food is made to order fast.

Really enjoy going here. Always have great IPA's on tap and the pizza is so good. A great place during the summer also to sit outside.

The first time we went was on a Saturday. I got a cheeseburger and sweet potato fries, I was hooked! Like- seriously the best sweet potato fries I've ever had and I'm not even a fan of waffle fries. The second time we went was also on a Saturday. The cheeseburger and sweet potato fries (with that sweet and tangy honey mustard) were just as good as the first time. (DELICIOUS!) The third time, we went on a Thursday and had convinced friends to join us. We all got a cheeseburger and the burger patties were bland- like zero seasoning whatsoever. The sauce and house made pickles were still good, though. The sweet potato fries were undercooked and crunchy. Now my friends think I'm a liar. Because I had two good experiences out of three, I'll give 4 stars for now, but if I go back and it's bland, I will adjust my rating accordingly. I'm wondering the the weekend crew has better training than the week day crew? read more
