Kamp's 1910

[SOUTHSIDE GIRL]

Ate there Friday. It was good, a little pricey

[metro]

Can you give more details please......

[BBatesokc]

Ate there for breakfast this morning with the wife. We both really liked how they have renovated the place, great floors, cool lighting and good table layout.

The pastry case was full of good looking sweets.

We decided to split the Boxcar Burrito for $4.75 (my half is pictured above).

It was served fast and plenty warm. It was pretty light on the eggs and heavy on the potatoes and tortilla. Actually, it was pretty heavy all around and considering we had just come from an hour at the YMCA, it didn't sit just great with us.

That said, it certainly didn't taste bad and I'm sure the sausage and gravy types will love it. I did think it was a little pricey though.

We visited at 7am and left at 7:20. Only one other customer during that time and he had a coffee.

We will probably stop by again and try something different for breakfast and will definitely give lunch a shot in the future.

I didn't detect a WiFi signal while I was there, but when I asked was told they were "working on it right now."

What we did find odd was that Java Dave's has simply relocated to the warehouse building on the South end of the same parking lot. A much smaller and lower budget looking establishment they will compete with Kamp's on coffee sales.

Bates, thanks for the review. Yeah there is another thread somewhere from awhile back with an article talking about the switch and why Java Daves moved to the warehouse. Basically to find their original identity and lower overhead. At the end of the day, it's just coffee mainly.

Their menu needs tweaking.

can you be more specific, that's a pretty vague comment.

I plan to eat there soon, but did they have a grand opening? Or have they don't anything to promote the fact that they've opened? One of the reasons I haven't tried it yet is because I forget it's there.

Driven by it several times and both times it was empty around 6pm-7pm at night, but appeared to be open. I have seen virtually zero publicity for it, other than here and an ad or two in the Gazette. I wonder if they are banking on their "KAMPS" name.

I tried to help with their PR - when I saw the track elves I emailed Ali at Ch4 and she put together this nice PR warm fuzzy piece.

Ate at Kamps for the first time yesterday. On my 1-10 scale of overall appearance, decor and food I would rate Kamps a 9. No its not a fine dining experience thus the name 'cafe'. Planning on taking the entire family there for Labor Day.

Anyone else have an evaluation of Kamps?

[BBatesokc]

Went when it first opened. I liked the renovations to the building (for the most part), but found the staff to be not very friendly and the food just marginal. However, I've heard really good things from others that have been recently. Will most likely give it another shot soon for lunch.

[bucktalk]

Went there about 2:30 yesterday - lunch rush was long gone. But the staff was almost overwhelming friendly. I suppose that says a lot after dealing with what sounds like a HUGE lunch rush. Maybe some staff adjustments have been made...very friendly yesterday anyway.....

[metro]

Food is pretty good and offers lighter fare which is nice.

[MikeOKC]

What is the decor/theme exactly? I'll have to stop by soon.

I have been there about 10 times. From not busy random times, to a busy lunch crowd. I have never had any complaints with the staff or service. They have a really solid breakfast. The biscuits and gravy derailed (biscuits, eggs, sausage gravy, cheese) is my go to choice. Lunch is a good variety of sandwiches and wraps. They have a bakery with cookies (maple pecan is best), cupcakes, bagels etc. The place is really big and can be packed without seeming crowded. Crowd is a mix of OU and St Anthony crowd and then a lot of people who work downtown. Can get out of there for under $10. Two thumbs up from me.

i went for the first time last week for lunch and the sandwich was pretty good. i swung by for breakfast this morning and ordered some breakfast to go. the place wasn't overly crowded but it took what felt like forever to get my meal to me... in reality it was around 10 minutes waiting. i guess when i'm ordering in the morning i expect to get in, get out and get on with my business so i left a bit frustrated, ready to cross this place of the list. however, when i tucked into my breakfast sandwich i've gotta say that it was one of the best ones i've ever eaten. -M

OKCTalk - Kamp's 1910 to open in Edmond

[Martin]

ha... since posting that in 2011, kamp's became my regular breakfast stop for quite awhile. imo, the place serves the best breakfast burrito in the city. since they make everything from scratch the wait times are pretty long, especially if you're in a rush. i just got into the habit of phoning in my order on the way to work and my sandwich would be waiting for me... problem solved. -M

[Pete]

They do a great job with their baked items, sandwiches, wraps and soups.

Everything fresh and tasty.

This new Edmond location will kill it.

[Urbanized]

Wait...it's going to be a CHAIN now..? Aw, crap. Now I won't be able to go the original location anymore...

[sooner88]

Kamp's reminds me a lot of Louie's.... just better in almost every way.

I cannot get on their website to view their menu. Anyone have better luck?

The link above does not work. I wonder if their website is down for maintenance, or something?

That's strange, I just clicked on it and it worked for me.
