Campfire Lakewood

"Great playlist and atmosphere. Awesome food and speedy fast service. Our waiter was friendly and asked if we had any questions but not pushy or over the top. We were shocked that it wasn’t packed. The brisket and sauces were superb. Could not ask for a better dining experience. Definitely worth it if you’re in the area."

"Went two days in a row... The food both days - delicious. The service - excellent, the ambiance - out of this world. Thank you for a wonderful experience and it smells so good inside the restaurant."

"So cute and different. Right on the corner with a cute outdoor patio (just to cold today) coffee was great and hot the inside was not what I expected. Very different! Full bar and you can watch them cook right there. It would be a fun date night experience. I had the tacos but they were great. Come try it. The sun lights are amazing. Can’t imagine when it snows how cool it could be."

"I always love a local joint. This isn't too far from us, and not a chain so big points already. This place has a lot of potential, but has some room for improvement too. Cool Patio. Generally cool decor. I love the dusty pink of the chairs, but velvet is a TERRIBLE fabric for restaurant chairs. It was looking a little dingy and is difficult to clean. I get the open Pizza kitchen concept, but if you have an open kitchen the prep areas should be spotless and well organized (they were neither). The little crevasses in the cement brick wall separating the pizza area from the restaurant were a straight up dust magnet. I love the big doors that open on to the patio, but even with those doors open, having fly strips hanging from the ceilings everywhere is straight up gross. On to the food. My husband got the chicken sandwich and deviled egg potato salad. Both were REALLY good. The potato salad was great. I got a pizza. I'm going to preface this with the fact that I LOVE cheese, but there was actually too much. It sat in the center of the pizza and made it soggy crusted in the center. Kind of a bummer when you have a pizza oven. Overall, I would go back."

"We tried out Campfire as a family and had a fun time though our food experience wasn’t perfect. When we arrived there was live music which was fun and not too loud or disruptive and our son really enjoyed the band. The restaurant is fairly new I believe and it is nicely laid out with a cool patio for dining. Our server did a good job and was attentive and helpful. The main offerings at Campfire are BBQ and pizzas. They have a really interesting wood fire pizza oven in the kitchen. We ordered a pizza from the kids menu, their chicken sandwich, a brisket sandwich and sides of potato salad and Brussel sprouts. The sides were all fairly good. I actually thought their potato salad was the best thing I ate here - there was plenty of flavor from the dill and a nice creamy texture. The sprouts were well cooked with a nice sauce and cheese. My wife’s fried chicken sandwich was tasty! It was crunchy and perfectly cooked and juicy and there were no issues there. We ran into a few problems after the above dishes. My brisket sandwich was fairly cold when it arrived and it wasn’t incredibly flavorful. I wasn’t super fond of the BBQ flavor offerings at the table either- they had various kinds but seems like they were outsourced. My chips were decent not really seasoned or terribly memorable. We also had a few issues with the pizza. I tried a piece and I recognize its from the children’s menu. The cheese was good but there was a lack of sauce and lack of balance that made for a pizza that wasn’t that tasty. It seemed like the crust underneath wasn’t perfectly cooked either. I think ultimately this restaurant needs to keep making tweaks and it will turn out okay. We love trying local food and new places and its tough to make a return trip if the food isn’t spectacular with how prices are these days."
