Base Camp Eatery

I ordered the crispy chicken sandwich. It was dense and tasteless, liking chewing rubber, only the roll was satisfactory. The prices are reasonable but the quality of the food is utterly unacceptable. It’s best to just bring cold sandwiches and salads (in a large cooler) from home or purchase these items from a local deli as you drive to the Park.

Really an eatery more than a restaurant. You place your order at one of the order kiosks, making the ordering process fast and smooth. Order pick-up later on is not that smooth, since you need to wait for your number to be shouted from behind the counter. People are gathering close by, making it pretty crowded at around the counters and it's also difficult for people working there to shout loud and for you to hear your number. I appreciate vegetarian meals and options of something else than sandwiches, burgers and other fast food. Cutlery and napkins are available at the cutlery stands that you need to find. The used dishes are dropped at certain place where they are collected to be cleaned and re-used. All of these places could be better marked, in my opinion.

This is a good way to enjoy a cheaper meal in the valley. The eatery serves poke bowls, fast food and pizza at reasonably fair prices. Orders are placed at the terminal. You can pick up your order at the counter afterwards. The food was delicious. However, the atmosphere is more like a canteen.

It's a cafeteria style no frills kinda diner. It's definitely nothing special but given the context of being deep in the valley, this place hits the spot. We came here for an early morning breakfast and if you've been living off of camp food for awhile this is a refreshing change of pace. That being said, don't expect anything actually good here Food: 4/10 Service: 4/10 Atmoshpere: 6/10 Value: 6/10

It's a shame that was once a nice cafeteria is now a kiosk based food dispensory. If you have to go here try breakfast as it's your best chance for ok food. Lunch so so and dinner forget it. However one of the reasons for the low rating comes from a very basic issue with the food prep and service. They simply can not heat the food properly for serving, and the management is aware of the issues but apparently can't get it resolved by the concessionaire. So if you order food it may at best be warm but was more often just cold in places. The way the kiosk ordering is setup you can't make basic requests on what is or isn't on your sandwich as an example. It's a general issue with all kiosk systems but it was worse here. Then comes the lack of service. Honestly I think the staff would be happiest if no one came in. It was the most unfriendly service I've experienced in years. Next door to them is a Starbucks and they are really the more reliable choice. It's not that I would look forward to the food at Starbucks but it's hot, you know what to expect, the staff was reasonably pleasant and the drinks typical of any Starbucks you go to. Choices are very limited in January in the valley and the better options at Curry Village were only open on the weekend. For years this was run as a cafeteria and they should go back to that model. Add humans to take your order and make the food fresh again. Until then I won't be back, it was truly awful.

This is a good place to get food with lots of options. You’ll order your food and pay on a touch screen and then wait for your order number to be called. The service is quick even when there is a bit of a line. Lots of seating inside and is usually very clean but I like to find outdoor seating as it can get kind of loud inside. Food options include poke bowls, chicken sandwiches, burgers, pizza (there’s a vegan pizza option), gyro and falafel bowl to name some of them. The Starbucks just opened as well and is right next to base camp.

I must say that this place is a safe heaven for lots of tired and hungry people. You can do water refills, charge your phone and eat very decent fast food. Not the best you’ll have but it’s super convenient. Also they have a few vegan options. Must stop here if you’re in the area for multiple days.

Very disappointing food. This is very little bowl with almost no chicken for $17. Do it better
