Samoa Cookhouse, American restaurant in Samoa, California, United States.
The Samoa Cookhouse occupies a sturdy wooden structure with large windows and features traditional lumber camp dining tables throughout its spacious interior.
Founded in 1893 as a feeding station for lumber mill workers, the Samoa Cookhouse maintained its operations for over a century as the last operational lumberjack cookhouse.
The restaurant preserves the tradition of communal dining by serving meals family-style at long tables, following the customs of early lumber camp cookhouses.
The establishment currently undergoes renovations until 2026, with plans to add 40 cabins, 15 campsites, and 20 hostel rooms to create Camp Samoa.
Every meal includes multiple courses with soup or salad, homemade bread, vegetables, potatoes, and dessert, served on platters for table sharing.
