    The vibe at Happy Camper was a bit of a mixed bag. The hostess seemed less than thrilled to be working, which didn’t make for the warmest welcome. However, our server and runners completely turned things around—kind, helpful, and pretty attentive throughout the meal. Drinks were solid but arrived slow—our hot appetizers actually beat them to the table. That said, the pizza more than made up for it. It was piping hot, delicious, and easily the highlight of the night. If you’re here for the pizza, you won’t be disappointed! The vibe is cute with airstream campers threaded throughout, creating a clever feel for the casual night.

    I really appreciated Happy Camper’s willingness to accommodate people with mobility issues by providing a low-top table. The food was very good and i like the large portions. My one issue was the service. At the beginning our server was quick and attentive. Once they gave us our drinks and took our food order we were pretty much never interacted with again. Once another table sat down the server paid attention only to them because they were downing drinks and ordering lots of rounds. I understand wanting to follow the money, but i do wish they paid a little more attention. When our food came out (ran by food runners not the waiter) the server never came around to make sure everything was okay, and not once offered to get us another rounds once our drinks were polished off. They missed out on some money and more in tips since they never followed up on our table. Had to flag them down just to get the check- and mind you this was at 5pm so not by any means as busy as this place gets each weekend.

    Great food and fun environment! A great place to go with either friends or family. Really loved the Jalapeño Homies appetizer and the Trailer Park Queen cocktail.
