    Live music on the deck. Mike Davis.

    This is an update just to add photographs from the Grilling on the Deck special event.

    bulgogi
    Mike M.

    We had lunch and dinner at base camp, mainly because it was only restaurant open. Seating is outdoor and umbrellas over table do not block sun At lunch We seated ourselves because no one was around. I had to go into the bar to get menus. Our server finally showed up and took our drink order. I ordered the Beef Bulgogi bowl. The food was not hot, but luke-warm at best. It did taste good, but would have been better hot. Our server was very helpful and did a good job. For the evening meal, they had a buffet. All, but the mac & cheese was not hot. The meat was very dry, as well as the cornbread. They did not have much on the buffet; pulled pork, bbq chicken, collard greens, mac-n-cheese, cornbread, pepper slaw and some kind of odd salad. It is definitely no where worth $20. Our server was ok.

    Large, deep dish pizza ‍
    Anne R.

    We were hoping to like this place. It was our first time, although we've been owners at Massanutten for almost 5 years. We've always explored the surrounding area eats but this week we didn't want to leave the resort. We were excited to order what we did - deep dish pizza, calamari, the nachos and the summer salad (not pictured). As you can see in the pic, this was no deep dish pizza. In fact, it was a thin crust pizza! Brought that up with our server, who never showed us he was interested in being there until he gave us our check and it was time to sign on the dotted line. All he said was, we're not the first to ask about it. We then said, maybe he can share with management, and he said "oh they know". ‍ Uhhh ok, well time to change that menu! Trash can nachos had big chunks of poorly seasoned ground beef. It looked appetizing but it was bland and the melted cheese were stuck in the can and hardly any were on the chips. The fried calamari was the only thing we enjoyed. It was well seasoned, but as you can see in the pic, there's like 9 pieces Lastly, the summer salad was a Waldorf salad dupe. It was not a good mix. Why was there grilled onions with the raspberries? Yikes. Lesson learned. We won't return to this place. We tried the other resto the following evening (Campfire Grill) and enjoyed that one by a huge leap.

    Grilled cheese and French fries. Both were tasteless
    Audrine M.

    While staying at Massanutten resorts, we decided to pickup some food for our toddler. I can't begin to explain how disappointed I was with the food we got from Base Camp. How can anyone mess up grilled cheese and fries is beyond me. The food was tasteless. I would definitely not come back here, but the place was full, so I am hoping the rest of the food they serve might be good. In spite of the food disaster, I would recommend this place for its entertainment and vibe. They had live musicians who really kept the crowd engaged, and many people were dancing on the dance floor, including my little one. They also have large size Jenga and Connect 4, which keeps kids entertained while waiting on the food.

    Such a cute place to find! Located on the massanutten resort, this spot stood out at the top with it's heated tents and full bar! We stopped in here for a bite and was glad to be in the warmth while we got fun cocktails and snacks. It was convenient to the snow and we saw lots of kids playing outside while their parents watched from above. Food was decent for bar food and it was nice to find a spot that was open.

    Tiny grilled veggie flatbread
    Abby R.

    I'm sad to say that it has gone way down in quality and service since I have been coming every year. What a let down this summer. Of course, Jimmy O was still amazing and the only reason I will try again next year! I say stick to appetizers and beer and wine. Meals are way over priced and the cocktails are too. My grilled veggie flatbread was the size of my hand with minced zucchini and onion chunks on cauliflower mush for $12.50! How is that a meal? Our server was very inexperienced and knew nothing about the menu.

    Service was good, drinks were weak, and food was forgettable. Nice setting though and properly observing COVID protocol.

Looking over the menu for the first time I kept telling my wife "that sounds good" then only a moment later I would say it again then again. After careful consideration I went with the sample platter. Ribs, brisket, & pulled pork. Chose the cheesy cornbread with honey butter and the baked beans. It was large enough to split with my gal. She took less than I and she still couldn't finish it all. Loved every bit of the meats. A beautiful smoke ring on all of it. They know their business around the smoker. The cornbread was delicious but I didn't fully care for the baked beans. They were a bit tangy and lacked the smoked meat in them that I've come to expect. The prices were reasonable and the place was very clean. Will be back when we return to the area. Enjoy it.

We got there around 5:30pm on a weeknight and within a few minutes many other tables also seated. The waitress was super helpful explaining the items and telling us about the bakery downstairs that makes the buns and cornbread fresh. I was in a group of five women, the person that liked her food the most got the salmon. Several folks got burgers, one got chicken patty with fries, coleslaw, macaroni, cornbread,, and I got the bbq sampler. They had four homemade bbq sauce at the table, original, a mustard variety, a Carolina variety, and a bourbon sweet variety. None of them spicy, not a fan, at best used the original bbq sauce. The brisket was super tender and delicious, recommended. The pulled pork was a generous serving but a bit dry, needed the sauce, I took half mine home to eat later with more bbq sauce. I thought I ordered naked ribs but they came out blackened in a rub, I went ahead and tried them, a bit dry but okay. Would not get the dry rub again. Two of us got the cornbread loaf side, I thought it was okay with the honey butter, my friend thought it was way too dry. I ate about half and took it home with more of the honey butter. One person got the seasoned fries and shared them, they were okay, generous portion size, she was trying to eat them with mayo, was also drying with the powdered topping and very salty. We were on a dry theme with many dishes! Most people with burgers ate around their buns. Due to the sad selection of hot sauces and meh 2/3 items on sampler and average cornbread, leaning towards and average review. We had hiked all day at Shenandoah National Park and very hungry when we arrived but quickly flipped from enthusiastic to disappointed. Service was good, atmosphere was good, but didn't enjoy the food as much. Maybe eat there if nearby, good for quickly seating groups, lots of meat options.
