Excellent meal on the way out of Portland!

Aug 2019 • none

After spending some time in Portland, we set off towards the coast to start our 14-day loop through Oregon. We had our eyes set on Saddle Mountain, but stopped at Camp 18 for some quick dinner. This was one of the only restaurants we saw once we hit the more isolated roads -- but this does not mean its a last resort kind of restaurant. On a Thursday afternoon in August, we were quickly seated and had our food surprisingly fast for how busy they were. I had the beef stew with a GIANT piece of cornbread and a house salad. Both of these were yummy and had adequate portion sizes. Not to mention the scenery inside and out was worth a stop itself. After a satisfying and swift dinner, we grabbed a giant cinnamon roll to go and headed back out onto the highway. I would not pass this restaurant by on your way to the coast!

Enjoyed watching the birds outside

Jul 2020 • none

We were seated by a window and outside door. We could see the birds and a squirrel enjoying the feeders. The food was decent. My youngest ordered a salad- and had to take about half of it with us. My oldest tried the trout. She liked it. The garlic potatoes were heavy on the garlic- if you do or don't like that kind of thing. The service was good- except for a small gripe session two of the waitresses had about someone while delivering our meals.

Good basic food / Great atmosphere

Sep 2020 • none

Historic property with a ton of logging equipment and wood carvings in a large rustic cabin. The service is good and the lunch is pretty basic with American-style sandwiches, salads & entrees. The shredded beef and cheddar melt was tasty served with coated fries and au jus. Clam chowder was a bit thick for my taste but filled with lot's of clams.

Apparently medium steak looks like charcoal

Mar 2021 • none

My recent dining experience at Camp 18 has put a bad taste in my mouth, pun INtended. My family and I have always had a great experience coming here in the past years but today we experienced service way below what was expected. My mother, my sister and all of our kids (11 people in total) ate here for dinner tonight and my sister and I both ordered the 12 oz NY steak medium. We don't like it bloody, or overcooked so we wanted some pink. When our steaks arrived at our table they were so well done that mine was charcoal burnt on the sides and they were both just plain dry and flavorless. When we brought it to the attention of the waitress, she said thats what a medium steak looks like... Now I want you to look up a steak wellness chart on google images and tell me if a medium steak is completely brown and burnt black on the sides. Even though the manager replaced those steaks with properly cooked ones, we were both pretty upset with this seeing as the steak was $30, the mac n cheese for my children was nasty Kraft from a box, and they charged us a %15 gratuity because our group was over 8 people. Even though I paid separately from my sister, whose party was NOT over 8 people, and they separated our kids across the entire building. Overall, the service and the attitude we received from this restaurant was dismissive and honestly felt disrespectful. I award ONE star only because the manager was trying his darndest to keep the place running. Everything else was lackluster. Thank you.

Friendly wait staff, good portion

Mar 2021 • none

Visited for dinner. Ordered the 6 oz. Flat Iron Steak (cooked medium) with grilled onions & baked potato. It came with a side of green beans with bacon. The baked potato was barely warm enough to melt the 4 pads of butter. The green beans was over cooked (soggy) like it was from a can. I gave them 4 points because they managed the wait time well (only 10 minutes at 6:00PM) and the wait staff was friendly and entertaining.

Highway 6 highlight

Oct 2019 • none

Each time I travel to the northern coast I always plan to visit this establisment . The atmosphere is so unique, like eating in a mountain lodge but expansive. Ive eaten breakfast, lunch and dinner on numerous occassions and never beeb dissappointed. I especially like to eat breakfast in front of the huge fireplace in the Fall. Please take time to visit the gift shop as it has some nice things without the unflated coastal prices. A wander through the museum yard is enjoyable on a good weather day. It gives you a perspective of the logging indusrty which is still active in the area.

The man, the myth, the cinnamon roll

Dec 2022 • family

What a fun rustic place to dine!! Had the fortune and pleasure to meet Gordon Smith today, enjoying his coffee. He shared a couple priceless stories with us. Then we purchased a 6-8” delicious, soft, buttery hot cinnamon roll ($8.99) and ate it in the car on the ride back into Portland. Nice service. Happy servers and employees. And the man behind this dream.

Stopped in on the way to the coast. We were seated and waited quite awhile before receiving attention. We ordered the bacon cheeseburger 3/5, grilled cheese 3/5, lumberjack burger 3/5, and clubhouse sandwich 3/5. Server forgot my beer. Ordered Marion berry dessert 3/5. The crust piece is too thick and doughy. The French fries were the only thing above average.

Great ambiance . . . worth a stop when driving to /from the Oregon Coast on the 26

Feb 2020 • none

I had driven by Camp 18 on numerous trips to the coast. over the weekend I decided to take the wife there on a Saturday night for her birthday. te reason to eat here is for the ambiance of eating a huge lodge-like restaurant. there is a ton of wood carving outside the restaurant. sit beside the fire for the best seats in the house. the food is good but not great. Your Vegan friends might be hard-pressed to find anything on the menu. service is attentive. Great place to take the kids. worth a stop at least once.e

Like being inside of a old-time lodge, excellent food!

Aug 2023 • family

Fun spot on your way down to the coast. Great food with large portions. One breakfast of Poached, eggs, bacon, and potatoes, along with the biscuit could’ve easily been split between two of us.. You must get their signature jumbo cinnamon roll! Plenty of parking, handicap access. Adorable gift shop at the restaurant. Worth a walk through. Can’t wait to go back.

Two hours I'll never get back...

Jun 2024 • business

For starters we had to wait a LOOOOONG time for our food. (And it was not crowded at all) Waited So long we almost had to cancel so we wouldn't miss our flight in Portland. Then I got a 2/3 pound burger with a side of clam chowder. I was expecting a 2/3 pound burger. Not Two 1/3 pound patties. Burger was 2 commercial frozen overcooked dry patties. The chowder was so thick you could sculpt it and had lumps of gummy flour in it as big as a pecan. It was overwhelmingly smoky from TOO MUCH bacon fat or bacon. I ordered tomato extra and for $1.00 for two slices of hard pink inedible tomato. My friend's bacon was burned. But we took so long getting our food we had no time to send it back. I bought a candy bar in the gift shop on the way out so I could enjoy something. I felt so badly that I suggested it to my friends.

Quality Food

Jul 2022 • family

We stopped for dinner after a day at the Oregon coast. It was not crowded and we were seated quickly. Our waitress was very helpful and, when we asked, recommended the cheeseburger. We took her advice and she was right. A great burger and tasty fries made the rest of the drive home tolerable. We will plan on stopping here again.

Not worth the stop

Apr 2021 • family

When going to the coast we love stopping for breakfast. This time I was not happy. I ordered a bacon omelette. It was horrible. It was not an omelette. All they did was pour the eggs in the pan. Once the eggs were cooked they threw on the bacon and cheese and folded it in half. The bacon was so chopped up you couldn't pick it up with the fork. You had to scoop it up. Our friend had a sausage omelette and the sausage looked like ground up hamburger. The potatoes were barely warm.

Tourist trap, but worth multiple visits.

Oct 2021 • couples

6th visit in about 4 years. The old timber and the building are impressive, and they’ve added a few items to the parking lot museum. After lunch, stretch your legs or walk the dog near the stream. Kids will like the property. Comfort food and everything is “fine”. Don’t think the cobblers or salads are that special. The chowder is hit or miss, the chili is more consistent, if a bit sweet. I like the brook trout. The location is really convenient. If driving towards Cannon, it’s 30 minutes shy of the destination. I like to grab an early dinner here, which opens up the evening for other things. That also means $19 entrees, as opposed to what might be waiting at the hotel. (Stephanie Inn restaurant is no longer gourmet, tbh). I am writing this at the restaurant; cellular is weak but existing.

A must stop along Rte. 26 to or from Oregon coast. Very good food & fascinating log building.

Aug 2023 • friends

Great place to stop going or coming from Cannon Beach or other towns along shoreline. Beautiful building, wonderful Architecture, and very good food. Especially large portions of pancakes. (Important hint - 1 pancake is huge, 2 pancakes or short stack of 2 pancakes was something I could not finish and I was hungry, and thank you to our waitress who very politely dissuaded me from getting a full stack of 3 pancakes. (Other items for my group was also large but not as much as the pancakes.) service was very good and very friendly! Be sure to walk around the restaurant to look at all the photos on the walls and the detailed architecture, and also visit the downstairs banquet room. Also stop at the friendly gift shop attached and the memorial museum to the logging camps adjacent.
