The Matt with red sauce is excellent and definitely a highlight. The Buffalo Chicken, unfortunately, missed the mark for me. The Parmesan fries and mozzarella sticks were good—though it’s worth noting the mozzarella sticks are more like breadsticks topped with mozzarella rather than the traditional battered kind. The birria pizza was just okay; the consommé tasted more like chili beans than expected. On the positive side, the chicken strips were really good, especially paired with the fries. The Hawaiian pizza was also enjoyable. My favorite appetizer was the elote dip! The shark coochie board was very mid, but the jam was really good! It was pretty though. The atmosphere is fun and visually cool, but it was much louder than I prefer. Our waitress was fine and seemed busy, which is understandable. The biggest downside overall was the off-street parking—it was very difficult to find a spot. Overall really fun!

I don't even know how to describe this place other than saying it's appropriately named and there's not a thing I would add or take away from the decor or experience. I definitely felt like I'd spent the evening as a "happy camper." From the outside, the place has a glow and just seems loud. It's large. It takes over the entire intersection, though Avanti, the food court and bar with its two stories, towers across the street. It's just an electric energy that pulses from Happy Camper and its patrons. During the summer, the chill patio is hopping. During the winter, it's a warm shelter of neon, sparkle and a cool campfire. These pics are from a Wednesday evening, stopping in for dinner. We had our IDs checked at the door then walked through an arcade of fairy lights to get a table in the back, near the bar. Our server was a complete delight! She was well informed with the menu, helped me pick something that wasn't pizza to eat and guided my friend through a sampling of specialty cocktails while I sipped on my Diet Coke that she didn't let go empty. The wrap was terrific, fries with melted cheese were mouthwatering... honestly surprised I couldn't finish them but it was so filling. All the loud parts I thought would be the experience from the outside actually turned into the perfect place for old friends to catch-up and enjoy some laughs. I mean, for a gal that enjoys discoballs as much as myself, who could ask for a more relaxing backdrop in an evening out?!

The atmosphere here is truly fun, lively, welcoming, and perfect for enjoying time with friends and family. The food rocks… everything we tried was sooo good! We visited during Christmas time, and the festive drinks and holiday decorations made the whole experience even better. Every server I’ve had here has been incredibly attentive and genuinely sweet. Honestly, I’d come back every single day if I could. Highly recommend!

I took a friend here for the first time and day after Valentines, its was still decorated and cute. We got a free little cup of champagne. The breakfast bowl for brunch was delicious, our drinks were good. My only "complaint"was when it was time for payment, I had cash and told the server. She says they are a preferred card. I didn't see that posted anywhere on the OpenTable site or my reservation so it was a bit of an upset. But it got handled.
