Great atmosphere, food and service. There was a live band playing when we arrived. Ordering food was super easy; just sit down at a table, scan the QR and order. Food came out quickly and was hot and delicious. After the band's set was over they still played a good assortment of music and nobody rushed us as closing approached. I took 3 children with, so it's family friendly but you could also enjoy a date here. Highly recommend.

Nice place to hang out ! I went there for dinner with my friend and we had fun. The place is very well designed… very nice atmosphere… tables and furniture is like retro but modern at the same time. They had a stand up comedy…. All comedians were great. The service is top. If you want to have a good dinner… (real food) this is not the place…. They have food trucks with fast food…. I ordered asada fries and they were really good. They have a nice bar with all kind of drinks. Perfect place for big groups. 100% recommended.

At first glance, the prices and atmosphere make this place appear great. These are just as deceiving as the lies of a politician. These are just a coverup for the fact that the prices are nothing more than an evil money making scheme. The profit margin is so impossibly high that I must give some credit to whoever owns this place. I went with my friends, excited for the Mardi Gras Overlay. We ordered our food and sat down. Nothing bad yet... Then we go to get a drink. I ordered a Shirley Temple, which only consist of sprite and grenadine. What I instead received was a cup full to the brim with ice and maybe a shot's worth of sprite. For that, I was only charged... $5 This is outrageous. If I asked for a cup of ice, it probably would have been free. So then, what am I even paying for??? This was just one example of the money making scheme. Then we actually get our food I ordered the gumbo, which was $10. For this, I got maybe half a ladle full of bland gumbo, and half of that was rice! Gumbo was intentionally created to be a cheap meal, yet here, this place goes with complete disregard for the history. I digress. We also got one 8$ order of beignets for the table. For this price, we were expecting either a decent number of beignets, or large beignets. What we instead received were 3 small beignets, each about the size of domino. In raw ingredients alone, this may be amounted to 50 cents. Even Disneyland is cheaper! Its 4.99 for three there! The profit markup is insanely high!! Add to this, the fact that we had to pay and a high tip before being served, and before receiving our food. Had I been given the bill after receiving our food and interacting with the staff, I would have flat out refused to pay. I wish I got my money back, because there was literally nothing about this experience that was worth a dime of my time or money. And I know that If I didn't pay, the company would not even be losing any money with how insane their profit is. Overall: small portions + huge prices + shoddy service + deceptive business practices = unhappy customers who will never return unless its to get a refund.

I went here for a trivia night. It was cold outside but they had a bunch of heaters & that helped a lot. I was pleasantly surprised to see gluten free chicken tenders on the menu. They were amazing and crispy! I also loved their drink selection and their staff was very friendly. My only complaint would be that the backless stools they have are pretty uncomfortable after a while, especially on a cold night.

Went out on a Tuesday to the Camp for my 1st time. What a cool ingenious idea!! Plenty of outdoor "camp-like" seating that lives up to the name of this venue. There's a full bar and food trucks. This occasion was to support local DJs and it was such a good time! Mix of people of all ages and backgrounds. Super cool spot! Can't wait to go back.

Went for the farmers market. Found it to be interesting but realize it's too early for local fresh vegetables. Also found walking somewhat difficult because of uneven surfaces and potholes. Guess I'm spoiled to having concrete walkways!

Absolutely adorable! I love the atmosphere. I mean to come back now that it’s fall and not so sweltering. The food took a bit long to make since there were quite a few people in line ahead of us and only one person cooking, but that’s understandable. It was a great quantity of food for the price and tasty, though nothing mind blowing. Great place for a date night or evening dinner with friends.

We came for coffee (which was great) but then stayed and ate lunch at The Tamarind Island Grill food truck. Delicious Jamaican food - if we could give it more stars we would! We ordered the Fish & Rice Bowl and it was amazing - generous portion of fried fish with all their sides - rice & peas, mac & cheese (to die for), plantains & greens. Every bite was top notch! Lots of outdoor seating with a fantastic atmosphere.

Love the beer selection and specials. Especially love the Playlist! They told me that tonight was the first try of a new Playlist and ... let me say .. it's the right choices. Every time I heard a song I was SO pleased and jamming. Keep it up!!!!

Went to the Miracle at MidCity event on a Friday night. It was ok. I’m not sure if it was their first year doing this kind of event. Sure seemed like it by the level of disorganization.Reservations are required to get a table/room/igloo. We were told to go to the bar to check in for our reservation. Of course the bar line was super long so we had to wait a while. Once we got to the bar the bartender checked us in and showed us where to sit and said our server will be right out so we didn’t order drinks at the bar. We waited and waited and nobody came to our table so we went into the bar line again. Then to order food you get to wait in another line! Such an exciting night of waiting in lines.Everything was really overpriced. $50 before tipping got you two drinks and a plate of steak fries to share.There was a DJ that never ended up playing anything.I think there are other things to do around town this Christmas season that would be more enjoyable.

Such a fun spot for food truck cuisine! Everything looked amazing and their farmers market was a blast. They had live music and everyone was having a great time! The vendors at the farmers had such fun offerings for purchase and I found some excellent treasures. The coffee shop on-site has excellent drip coffee and very smooth espresso. Their baked goods come from various bakeries in town and the bagels were chewy and delicious! This place isnworth a stop especially on Sundays for the seaonal farmers market (opened March 13, 2022 not sure when they stop for the season)Features: None

What a cool place! I wish I had visited last summer when I first saw it because they have a great outdoor space for events with food trucks and a bar.Thankfully we were still able to enjoy their excellent coffee. I had a very nice mocha (not too sweet). My brother got a coffee flight which was a fun way to try their winter blend prepared a few ways. My niece got the cold Brew which was bright and fruity.They take their coffee seriously here, weighing out the espresso. Highly recommend stopping by.Pro tip, there is another indoor seating area upstairs that may or may not be quiter/less crowded than the downstairs space.

This is a new open air venue in Huntsville with a decidedly Bohemian or rustic vibe. The venue is open year round (weather permitting) and hosts several semi-permanent food trucks, a coffee house and a small bar. Prices and quality are good. There's excellent seating options with tremendous character. There's more than adequate shade by day and lighting by night. In winter, the venue has fire pits and multiple propane heaters.The highlight of this venue is the performance stage and sound. While located adjacent to a major commercial highway, you'd never know it. The layout of the vendors and stage, creates and remarkably neutral space with little ambient noise. The sound system and speakers are well mixed, rich and not overwhelming. I was able to listen to the performances there and still carry on a reasonable conversation with friends.I highly recommend The Camp.

Our daughter was chosen as the Gold Star Family of the month for The 4th Annual Mojo Radio Show 0.5 K, sponsored by The Mojo Radio show on 104.3, WZYP (a week ago).The Camp was the unique, outdoor setting for this event.Very cool, outdoor bar and food truck setting to hang out with friends, watch sports, drink, and listen to live music.Full service bar, and the food truck had great burritos, chicken fingers, and salads.Many unique seating niches to sit quietly with friends, play ping pong, or listen to music.Since its outdoors, it is very pet friendly and many folks brought their 4-legged friends.Great time of the year to try it out, while the weather is nice and not stifling hot/humid.Can't go wrong with this convenient location.

As a single guy coming in was treated as i was some kind of pos. Maybe it was because i was from out of town. I moved into one of the little cubbies they with a TV. The waitress tried to change the TV and assuming my preference in a sarcastic tone asked if i would like sports on. It’s a very beautiful place. Never had the food never because I the service.

Food and drink prices are high.Not a very large quantity in appetizers and meal is small.Can't believe they ask for a tip when you do all the ordering yourself with the QR Code.Unfortunately they let kids run all around and scream chasing each other. If I go back all I'd do is watch the live music....

The food is delicious! You have to scan a QR code to get to the limited menu... Which was quite a difficult experience. Some people couldn't get the QR code to scan properly, there was terrible cell service, some of us couldn't get our credit cards to load to pay for food, and it was just overall very glitchy. We finally all got it to work after several attempts and 30 minutes. They have a lot of great Mardi Gras drink options right now, but me and another friend got a mocktail. I was glad they had the options, but two different bartenders made our (exact same) drinks completely differently. Mine was smaller, with fewer ingredients, and very boring. Hers was jazzed up with all kinds of garnishes and different ingredients and was much larger. We paid the same price but two different bartenders made the same thing completely differently --frustrating. We had paid in advance for a reservation of a little pavilion for a birthday party. It's really cute they have little warmers. The atmosphere is pretty great, and the live band they have is really good! Overall, we've had a really good time, but the ordering food process is really difficult and the bartender thing had me a little frustrated. But, overall, good experience and I'll be back!
