Camps Restaurant - (Near Angels Camp, CA)

1 /5 Heidi R: By far, worst dinner ever at Camps! This has been our go to restaurant for our anniversary for at least 10 years. It’s no wonder this restaurant is empty! Made reservations for 6:15 for our 33rd anniversary. Arrived at 5:45. Seated by 5:55, cocktails ordered by 6ish. Dinner doesn’t arrive till 6:50. Granted, 4 tables seated, in the whole restaurant. FOUR! Ordered Filet mignon medium, comes over well done and as tough as boot leather. Chicken Marsala mediocre at best. Atmosphere and location could not be more beautiful at Greenhorn. What a shame this is the new standard. Do Better Camps! We won’t be back!

1 /5 Katya Yaroshinsky: Came to the restaurant for lunch on Saturday around 1pm. Restaurant was mostly empty but the hostess led us to the table with no view right by the doors, when I said we would like seat at literally any other table she looked annoyed. No small talk or even a half smile. The waiter came out to take our drink order looking like he was a busboy who was asked to do someone else’s job. Again, no smiles, no small talk. Menu was pretty basic, actually for the golf course restaurant it was pretty mediocre. We ordered a couple of sandwiches. I am not going to talk about my husband’s sandwich but I ordered the chicken pesto and at was a disaster. I think it takes a special talent to make a sandwich that bad. Pesto was in reality a mayo with a bit of pesto mixed in; the chicken I could not tell what it tasted like since it was so small and covered in somewhat melted lump of cheese of dubious origin. It was topped with plastic tasting paper thin tomato slices and a piece of cold iceberg lettuce. On a side came French fries that were all oil. The waiter/ busboy forgot to mention that we could have a choice of soup or salad instead of the fries. Although I don’t think it would be better. The whole thing tasted like a cardboard. When I told him that the food tasted subpar he just stared. Not a word of apology or anything. Meanwhile the couple at the next table was leaving and the lady said to her partner “Oh well, we won’t be coming back here”. I have to say the same thing. Sadly because the location is beautiful.

1 /5 Mychal Nitta: Came here with a group. I’ve had a few meals here before as I come to the area once or twice a year to take a break from city life. Came on a dead morning for brunch. There were maybe two other tables. Real weird vibes. Was sat in a corner and service was so slow I went to the bar to order myself and friends drinks. Not sure if it was because we had a few minorities in our group or what but I would avoid the place. There are a lot more restaurants that serve a steak and a salad in the area with drinks now than there was back then.

2 /5 Stephen Kolb: Chef sent baked potatos out that were so cold butter would not melt. Filets were Luke warm at best. Left our party of six to wait for replacements that were not served timely. all diners were pretty much done with their meals as corrected foods came as we were leaving. And those replacement foods werent anything above 2 star chef cooking. Still billed $130 PLUS. Never got management apology. Management Left servers hanging. Avoid this place. They didnt have the courtesy that they did not serve quality, and still stuck it to us on the bill. You want a $100 per petson tab for a big Mac this is the place.

4 /5 Chef Robert Olivares: Camps Restaurant While staying at WorldMark in Angels Camp, we were gifted a certificate for Camps Restaurant. The staff is friendly and very approachable. Our Fried Ravioli and Bread with Butter came to the table rather quickly. I truly liked the ravioli but I loved the bread. I am very much a carb lover as much as I am a steak lover. So a warm crusty bread and soft uber spreadable butter is one of life’s greatest pleasures (yes, the bread is an $8 charge). However my enthusiasm couldn’t continue throughout our meal. Although my Rib-eye Steak was cooked perfectly the way I like it, the vegetables on the side were very drab and overcooked. The spicy Brussels Sprouts had a good flavor. I wish they were slightly spicier, but I enjoyed them nonetheless. My wife’s Sole Almandine was a tad under seasoned and her vegetables were as drab and overcooked as mine. A quick blanche then saute would have done wonders for the sole. In contrast, the mashed potatoes she ordered on the side were perfect. For dessert, we ordered the Creme Brûlée. This was the perfect way to end our meal here. The creme brûlée was creamy and had the perfect amount of sweetness.
