“ This was the most enjoyable dining experience in the week I stayed in Seattle. They lean into the theme and it's so much fun. I got their hot chicken sandwich and a few of their take on an old fashioned, both were awesome! My SO got the Pork Chop and it was such a good portion I got to help finish it off, and that was great! It was also very affordable. Our server was amazing, and the bartenders even helped out with some of the server duties which was great. I wish I remembered our servers name, but she may remember us because I made sure to let them know that I appreciated the service and that it was the only restaurant we went to that offered me another drink. Seems like a low bar to offer to sell another cocktail but it was something I didn't get elsewhere. ”
“ Ladies and gentlemen, please make this spot your next destination. I cannot overstate just how special this place is to the community of West Seattle. I had the good fortune of spending some time here for lunch today. The bartender was so hospitable, and come to find out, she owns this little slice of heaven. Her name is, Toni. She’s the heart of this place. Listen, I’ve managed restaurants for 24 years. Hospitality is the name of the game. Great food, delicious cocktails and reasonable prices are what you find in this hidden gem. Not to mention the music is off the chain. Yes, I still use that phrase. Easy to find, right on California Ave. with ample parking. This shotgun style restaurant and bar is exactly what you’re looking for nowadays. No pretense, no fluff, just great people and delectable food. I started with a Manny’s and some outstanding chicken wings. I followed that up with old fashions and one of the best fried chicken sandwiches I’ve ever had. Toni is there when needed, but never hovers. You can see her passion and pride in everything she does here at Camp West. She keeps this place clean and organized. A quality that many restaurant owners have let fall to the wayside. Friends, lunch or dinner, make your way to Camp West in West Seattle. You will not regret it. Trust me. ”
“ Super cute spot! I love the theme of the restaurant. The wall mural in the bathroom is so cool! The staff was really nice. It is a self ordering restaurant.. so you scan a qr code, order and pay on your phone. The food was really good. My wife had the smash burger and I got the camp burger I believe. Cocktails were great as well! Very flavorful. ”
“ Late review but still haven't stopped talking about this place. My partner and I made last minute reservations for Valentines Day and had such a great experience! We sat at the bar, which I would prefer next time as well because we got to know the bartenders and they were very accommodating and friendly. One bartender (forgot their name by now sorry!) even made me a custom drink! The food was also great and we got SO much food for the amazing valentines menu; gotta get the s'mores as I'm sure you've seen in other reviews if you've read this far. Thank you Camp West for the wonderful experience! We will always recommend this place to those venturing to West Seattle :) ”
“ This was our first visit and all four of us loved our meal; Carbonara, seafood risotto, pork chop and chicken sandwich. ALL were wonderful. Our waiter was on top of it, giving us kind, helpful service. Oh! And the atmosphere was tastefully done and super clean. Come support these great folks. You’ll be glad you did. ”
“ My new favorite spot with great food in West Seattle! UPD: They have some good vegetarian options (peri peri cauliflower, mushroom cassoulet, beet hummus) and amazing mocktails that we tried. ”
“ My friends’ friend owns this place. I showed my boys the s’mores in reviews and they were pumped. Unfortunately, we found out it is 21 there. My kids started adding up how many years they have until they could go there. Which was very cute. Tony helped us out and recommended another location. ”
“ Second time to this location, and I honestly can’t wait to come back. The food has improved since the first visit, but the customer service and overall FOH approach is a cut above the rest. Other restaurants can take note on how to treat customers in a professional, friendly, and approachable manner like those at Camp West. Also, I’m definitely in a relationship with this cauliflower! ”
