3 weeks agoWe just went back to Briteside after they reopened last year. We had gone numerous times back when they first opened. You came in sat down and had a server; the food was good, sometimes took to long but was ok. Now you order when you come in, the service was good and the food came out quickly but everything is frozen and fried. My wife got the fish and chip and said it was the worst fish and fries she has ever tasted. My chicken nachos were equally as bad; stale chips, water like queso and chicken that had no seasoning on it at all. Probably frozen. Too bad. The Gold family needs to re-asses this restaurant. I have eaten at Gold Burger many times and it is great. This one is not.

3 months agoThis place is more about the vibe than the food. The menu is pretty small, around 20 items and most of them are very basic. The food itself is decent but nothing particularly memorable, and it can take a while for it to come out. That said, the atmosphere is where this place shines. The outdoor area is really fun with games like cornhole and ping pong, making it a great spot to hang out with friends. I’d recommend coming here more for drinks and the experience, maybe eat beforehand if you’re looking for a great meal.

3 months agoWe were very disappointed. The experience was much better when it first opened. Busy Saturday, only 2 bartenders that clearly could not keep up. Condiments were empty, had to hunt down utensils. My fish and chips left something to be desired. The fish was rubbery and difficult to chew. The only saving grace was the chicken fried steak that my husband enjoyed though it was difficult to cut with a flimsy plastic knife.

Edited 3 weeks agoWent on a Thursday and service was fast. They have a good selection of beer and the fish and chips were not Seattle quality but good enough. Their tacos and chicken strips are better IMO. Beer does rotate often usually with a couple Hazy IPAs on tap. I would take my son here more often if they had even a small play place with slides and swings.

4 months agoGood service. Good food….EXCEPT for the nachos. More a sloppy salad with chicken cubes piled on top of tortilla chips and chunks (rather than slices) of green pepper and onion. And the cheese sauce was more like milk: runny and flavorless.

5 months agoVery cool place and atmosphere. Honestly the BEST chicken fried steak I have had in years. It was crispy breaded with a great crunch and it was actual steak, not pressed meat like many other places. I desecrated a bite and took a picture without breading on it to show its actual meat. The green beans were fresh and sauteed well. Amazing food. Service is great, too. I'll be coming back with the family to try out that play area!

11 months agoI am not sure where to begin with Camp Briteside. All I can say, the entire experience was a disappointing, hot mess that stole hours from our evening. I’m not sure why we stayed… __________________________________ The Wait: We arrived. The place isn’t busy. Many tables sat empty inside and some of the patio furniture sections outside were open as well. We were told a 30-minute wait for a table. We waited at a picnic table outside in the wind. It took an hour to be seated. Outside. On patio furniture. I peeked back inside the restaurant and over 90% of the tables were empty. Short staffed, maybe? They seated us. We were a larger party and they shoved us together on a small outside patio table even though larger tables were open inside. It was cozy... Twenty minutes later, our server shows up for our drink orders. Some of us got our drinks. Some of the party didn’t get their drinks…until much later. Thirty minutes later, she takes our food orders. An hour later, we received our appetizers, and it took an hour and a half to receive our food. Expect a long wait. For everything. _______________________________ And How about That Service? Lacking. More than lacking… it’s terrible. That is, until the very end when we received our check and then our waitress gushed over us with attention and kindness (someone wanted a tip, maybe?). Prior to that, no one ever came to our table to check on us, refill our drinks, or see what we needed. No one paid any attention to us. Customer service is not a top priority here. ________________________________ Let’s Talk Food Not much to discuss here. Expect little and the food is mediocre at best. The orders were incorrect to top things off. The “chili” on the chili dog is more like taco meat. It has no sauce and has a strong taco flavor. The “chili” fries have the same problem. I wouldn’t call it chili. The wings were pretty tasty, though. ________________________________ The Atmosphere It’s a great place if you want to bring your kids to run around and play outside while you wait endlessly just for a drink and hours and hours for food. And those bathrooms…don’t get me started. Not one person in our party liked the concept of the “open concept” bathrooms. It’s just open to the restaurant for everyone to see, and with all those sinks…it’s awful with absolutely no sense of privacy. ________________________________ In the End Camp Briteside falls terribly short with their service, customer service, ridiculous waiting times, and mediocre entrees at best. I cannot recommend it. Unless you just want a place for your kids to burn off some energy and you don’t mind waiting hours and hours for a seat, food, or even just a refreshment while being invisible and ignored by the staff.

a year agoGreat little spot with good food and good outdoor space. We came by for dinner and to play outside. The food was good, burger and onion onion rings were solid. Not exceptional but very good. My wife had the shrimp and grits , it was very rich but also good. The outdoor surface is awesome, tvs for games, corn hole, a stage and a huge whiffle ball field with turf covering the entire outside. It's a great family spot and we'll certainly return.
