Come for the view, stay for the food and drinks. Our server was a little slow but efficient. The Cod sandwich was excellent. Then checkout the Collection of boots in the rafters out on the deck. There’s lots of seating on the deck and half of it is covered, the sun can get hot.

Friendly happy bartender. I had a BLT that was big and very good. The sweet potato tots are a hit. I've had them there before. It is worth your time to stop in to the Lookout.

Absolutely awesome view of the Valley!! Food is very good and reasonably priced. We actually loved the way Larry would interact with his customers. I heard he sold the place, but I'm sure new owners will do just as well. We will be back .

HANDS DOWN THE BEST RUBEN I'VE EVER HAD!!! The view from the top of the hill is beautiful. The waitresses are very nice and the bar itself has a lot to look at.

Beautiful view with a scenic drive to get there. The Rueben was the best I’ve ever had. You better be hungry because it’s big and delicious.

This was our first time coming to Larry's Lookout. The food was affordable and SO good! The double cheeseburger was amazing, sweet potato tots were awesome, and those were absolute best fries we've ever had! Excellent service too. Will definitely come again. .
