ryan was the sh**. he made us a bomb a** waffle sundae. will come back every year for more

The burgers looked great in photos, but the experience was disappointing. While the pictures were aesthetically appealing, the food didn't live up to expectations. We initially tried to place a takeout order online, but the system was down. Since they don't accept phone orders, we had to go in person just to order, which was already inconvenient. Overall, it wasn't the best experience. Maple Bacon Burger - 2/5: The patty wasn't well seasoned, and the sauce was very minimal, so the sriracha aioli was barely noticeable. But the fries were the one thing they did well BBQ Brisket Sandwich - 1.5/5: Lacked flavor overall; the brisket itself wasn't seasoned Philly Cheesesteak - 1.5/5: Didn't resemble a true Philly cheesesteak and was light on meat, which made it underwhelming read more

We came here tonight after checking it out on Yelp (we're visiting the area from NYC). We sat outside upstairs, which gave us a lovely view of the surrounding mountains as the sun went down. I had the fried chicken sandwich and my girlfriend had the veggie burger. Both came with a huge helping of french fries. Both dishes were solid -- they didn't knock our socks off, but they did the trick. Service was excellent. read more

The 3 stars is solely based on the food When I went it was really busy, but they still did a great job with the service. Albeit they did take a while for the food to come out and did forget my dish, but again, super busy and were very nice. No big deal since we got our drinks immediately. The tables and booths are very close together, definitely feels a little packed when multiple waitresses and people are moving around (we were in the back, but I think others had more space in the central area) Now for the food. Super duper bland, I got the fried chicken sandwich and it was crispy and crunchy, but the batter and chicken tasted like nothing. The chili could use a little spice and a more full flavor, but it was fine. I did like the tortilla chips that came with them. The fries were great, a big fan of steak fries. Others really liked their food, so it might be just me. I would say get their burgers since it did look good, but skip out on the chicken sandwich if you're into a more flavorful breading. read more

Food was typical bar fare and was okay. We loved the local sports bar feel and the service was great. It was busy for a Wednesday evening and a bus tour had stopped for dinner. read more

Extensive menu with nice add-ons available, great booths, inviting bar, and a pretty view from the balcony deck.

Ryan was our server ! Atmosphere great. Busy Friday night hit food quick. Soft pretzel sticks were great- fluffy and not oily or buttery!! Delicious.. great list of drinks alcohol and nonalcoholic. They even customized my ginger beer and pour it over cranberry and added lemon lime! The place was packed but our server was very attentive! read more

Decided to try some place new to us for some apps and beers. This place was perfect. We grabbed seats at the bar and a team of bartenders greeted us. Nice craft beer selection and cozy place. Ordered wings and potstickers. Food was good and service was better. Check this place out! read more

Lookout Tavern - Wings and potstickers - American Near Me - Killington, Vermont

This place has a beautiful view of the mountains. The food is also really good for a quick bite. I got the Cajun chicken wrap, pretzels and a spicy margarita. I really liked my margarita and the pretzels. The pretzels were soft and the mustard was really good and on the sweeter side. The chicken wrap was a little dry but it just needed more sauce. Our servers were amazing and super nice. They have a lot of seating inside and some picnic tables outside. I will definitely come back here for more food and drinks. read more

Our food was really good and the staff were super friendly. Loved the atmosphere of the place too. We'll come back for sure.

This place was exceptionally mid. We stopped by on Friday evening and the restaurant itself wasn't too busy. We were seated in the corner and we ended up moving to the bar because our server never showed up after waiting for more than 10 minutes. At the bar, we were able to order pretty quickly but afterwards it was so hard to get the bartender's attention. I ordered the chipotle chicken salad and I was pretty disappointed. It was a very small portion of lettuce and it just had tons of cheese and tomato. For $18, I expected more. When we were trying to pay our bill, it took a while for us to get the check and after we paid it took another long time to submit it and get the card back. Cannot recommend this place. read more

Came there late for lunch. Sever was prompt and very friendly. Took drink and appetizer orders right away. Brussels sprouts were yummy with a bit of chili kick. She ordered the burger and I the veggie burger. Both were prepared nicely and huge portions. Only downside is a 3% credit card charge fee. Not a fan and was not told ahead of time read more

Just ok- we got take out and it was ok. Wished it was better but it was also off season...

Stopped in on our way home. There were so many places closed and we were lucky enough to stop here. The staff is super friendly and the service was great. We loved our lunch. My husband had the chicken sandwich and I had French onion soup and Caesar salad. All of our choices were delicious. read more

The lookout is my favorite access road spot when buddies come in from out of town. consistently good food and service. Crowded and not a place for kids. It's a chill bar grub scene with good burger type food and decent beer selection. read more

We really liked the atmosphere here. They have a game room that entertained my son. Our server was great and attentive. My son got the ribs, my husband the prime rib special and I got the tavern turkey substituting the fries with Brussels. All very good. Overall the experience was great. We gave it a 4 over a 5 because the prime rib came overcooked. It's their special so it was surprising to get it MW as compared for the M that was requested. read more

Great food and service, definitely recommend for anyone new to the area. Quick too. A bit pricy that's all

Fries were good, my chicken looked like it was fried, fried again and then one more time for good measure. The bacon and cheese were unrecognizable, told the waitress, she gave me $1.00 off at $17 meal. Took our waters before we were even done and never checked back on us. read more

The wings were outstanding as well as the burgers! The staff was really friendly! Can't wait to go back!

Loved Look Out Tavern!! Lived up to the name when we watched a mountain summer rain storm roll through. The food was so good, service was top notch! Highly recommend! read more

We were here, Thursday, February 13. We were greeted by friendly staff seated immediately. Drink orders were taken promptly. I've always been a big fan of this place. They really know how to make a good mixed drink and margaritas are great. We went straight to our meal order ,the burgers are always cooked great and I think they are really good quality. French onion soup was delicious. Always hit this spot when we are up here skiing. we will be back again. read more

The Lookout Tavern is a fun, casual spot that's great for a big group dinner, watching a game, relaxing after a long day of skiing without worrying about what you look like, drinking good beer/ciders and not spending a fortune on a meal. Though this isn't the type of place I typically frequent, sometimes nights like these are very necessary and just what the doctor ordered. Came here as a party of seven at around 8pm. We had actually planned on going to another restaurant in town, but there was a two hour wait, so we needed think on our feet. Somehow, Lookout had plenty of room (though it was still fairly busy) and was able to seat us pretty quickly. There are a ton of good beverage options here. I'd probably stick to beer and cider, because the cocktails leave much to be desired. I know one of our friends enjoyed a few Moscow Mules but he may not be as pretentious about cocktails as I am. Another one of our friends ordered a margarita which she said was undrinkable, so it clearly varies. To their credit, I ordered a dirty martini (yes, a bold move at a ski town tavern) which was quite good, and they fulfilled my request of extra olives which is always appreciated. I also had a cider with a shot of some apple liqueur in it (as recommended by our server), which was too sweet for my liking but a cool idea. Next time I'll just get the cider as is. Food-wise, lots of good options. Big menu, a lot of variety, and many dishes suitable for folks with dietary restrictions. I have a gluten sensitivity and they can do their burgers/sandwiches on GF buns, which is always exciting for me. Rarely do I get to enjoy a burger. To start, our table got the nachos as well as the crispy brussels sprouts. The nachos left some to be desired but the brussels were fantastic -- so good that we ordered another round of them after the first was demolished. The second round was a little too doused in the Thai sauce but still good. For my main, I got the Left Coast Cheeseburger with a side salad, which was really yummy. The burgers are made from a blend of chuck, brisket and short rib, which makes them extra flavorful and juicy. I honestly never eat red meat, but after a day of skiing how could I resist? read more

Fantastic!!! Our waitress was WONDERFUL! Kristina was A+++! She guided through the menu beautifully! read more

Nobody came to the front to show me a table so I asked a server and they didn't even look at me and said someone would come soon. I waited some more and nobody came so I asked the bartender and he told me to take a seat. Someone brought me water and then I waited another 20 minutes for a server to stop but they walked by me as they cleaned other tables off and ignored me, so I left. No customer service going on here. At least have the decency to acknowledge the wait, apologize, and offer an update on wait time for service. read more

My husband and I came to Vermont from Massachusetts for our one year wedding anniversary. The last stop we made was Killington so we decided to go yesterday to the Lookout Cafe. We were greeted, seated and Keith was our server. He was absolutely phenomenal and easily the best server we've ever had ANYWHERE. He was attentive, quick service, got us refills at the perfect time, just on the ball and kind. My husband and I came to VT during off season so there isn't a lot open, so we decided to come to the Lookout again tonight because we liked their food. We got Keith again, and he welcomed us back and asked if we wanted the same drinks from yesterday.. just incredible service and we will be back if we ever end up in Killington again. read more

Stopped into the Lookout Tavern on a Sunday night shortly before closing. Such a cute place with a great atmosphere. It was mostly empty due to the time but can definitely see it being packed on a Friday or Saturday night. The service was excellent, the mood was cozy, and the food and drinks were very tasty. We tried a Goombay Smash, which is a sort of rum punch, and Fiddlehead beer. Both were delicious. We also tried the chicken tenders and fries and the nachos grande appetizers. The portions are huge and the food is pretty good. The chicken was more tender than I expected. Overall, the Lookout Tavern is great value with good prices, huge portions, and delicious food and drinks. Definitely look forward to returning next time I am in the area! read more

Great food, quick service, fun bar atmosphere. The burgers are the best on the mountain! Ask for cheddar vs American. Chicken sandwich was ok. Prices are fair and the vibes are good. Definitely will be back. Make sure to check out the shop next door too. The owners are local and make their own stuff. Super kind people and nice swag. read more

5 stars all around!!! Had to come back two nights in a row because it was that good. Friday night Prime Rib special really can't be beat on how good and affordable it is. The service was spectacular with Christian as our waiter, he really took good care of us and plus he's hilarious. Felt right at home. Love the ambiance of the place too! Was doing some local gift shopping at the attached store while waiting and played a game of pool in the game room while we waited for a table to open up for our large group. This is a must go spot in Vermont, stop reading reviews and just go already. read more

Lookout Tavern - Two pals having a lovely evening at their favorite spot in Vermont, the Lookout Tavern! - American Near Me - Killington, Vermont

You can't beat the view, that's for sure! They have outdoor seating up on the deck, as well as tables on the main level. Great view of the mountain in a very casual setting. We thought it was perfect for our first night in Killington as we wanted something low key and somewhat quick. We got a table that was set in (not right along the railing), which was nice as we weren't in the sun, but it was almost a little chilly under the powerful ceiling fan. No worries about being hot up there, even on the hottest summer day. We were a little turned off at the start because the woman at the welcome center told us they had happy hour from 3-6, 7 days a week (1/2 price wings), and gave us a pamphlet that showed the same. We arrived around 5:15, and we asked our server to confirm before ordering. After much deliberation on her part, she just wandered off and then said it ended at 5 pm. So we skipped the wings, everyone else was eating burgers and chicken sandwiches, so we went with those. We ordered the black and blue burger with bacon and onion rings, and "the Beast" chicken sandwich with fries. They were good, but not the best I ever had. Portions were small-ish - I usually can't finish a burger when I'm out, but we finished these no problem. The burger was juicy and good, I didn't taste a lot of Cajun seasoning but it was still good. I added mayo to "the beast" and it tasted exactly like a Wendy's chicken sandwich lol. I haven't had one in at least 10 years, but it all came back to me. Now I do enjoy a Wendy's chicken sandwich but for $13.95 I expected a little more from this self proclaimed "Killington legend". I don't know is so "beast" about it as it's fairly small and unimpressive, the roll is actually larger than the piece of chicken. Fries were good, there weren't too many, and we only got 6 onion rings, but paid a $2 up charge for them. Overall I found it to be very expensive. I'm not one to balk at prices at all if I feel like it's worth it, but the prices were disproportionate to the portion sizes. Citizens cider in the can was $9!! Burger with the added bacon and 6 onion rings came out to $18.50! I felt like we were paying peak season prices, but in August. $71 (pre tip) for a burger and a chicken sandwich, 2 beers/ciders each, and mediocre service seems like a bit much. I don't know if this is a tourist trap due to the view, but the woman at the welcome center had also recommended it. It's the kind of place that was fine once, but I probably wouldn't rush back. read more

Dog friendly restaurant with outside dining area. They brought my dogs water in a Tito's vodka dog dish, lol. The food was surprisingly good. My fungus and Swiss burger was excellent and flavorful with sauteed onions and mushrooms. My husband enjoyed the fried chicken sandwich with bacon and ranch. I had blueberry crisp with ice cream for dessert..YUM read more

Stopped in for lunch the other day... Their onion soup was "okay". Also had their chicken wings with Thai Chili sauce...which in my opinion while the meat was cooked, the skin could/should have been crispy but instead it was fatty....rubbery. Most all places will automatically offer you those little pre-moistened handiwipes since wings are a finger food.. When I asked for a couple, they had to look for them. Thankfully they found them ! It's the little things that consumers remember about a place. Brew selection is good...Full bar. Large pub. The one thing I want to point out is this was the FIRST TIME ever when I got something to go before I left, I noticed on my bill that they charge you extra for "to-go" ! I have NEVER experienced that in all the 50+yrs I have been eating out and I eat out a few times a week ! AND NO WHERE on their menu or did the staff member advise after they took my to-go order that they charge extra for to-go food. Just not good business practice. This review will not stop me from ever going back but I will know not to get food to-go... read more

Great cozy pub with lots of TV's and seating for large groups. Service was excellent, food was good except you can tell they need to change the fryer oil as the fish and chips were so greasy, dark dirty batter on the fish and the fries were not good. The nachos, French onion soup, chicken quesadilla, burger were very good. Prices were affordable compared to other places in town. read more

This restaurant is fairly close to the ski area, which makes it convenient. We sat upstairs on the porch and looked out at the beautiful mountain view. Our server informed us we could adapt any menu item as we wanted, and they would accommodate without judgment. Good deal! I went with a salad with a veggie burger. My husband had the habanero bacon jam cheeseburger, as recommended by our server. He thought it had a lot of flavor and wasn't too spicy. We found everyone to be laid back. It did take a while for us to be noticed when we entered, but the staff all seemed quite friendly. read more

So good. We had to visit twice. I was pleasantly surprised with how good some of the food items on the menu were. The spinach and artichoke dip is a must! Best I've ever had anywhere. Had it on both the visits. Loved it both times. The chicken quesadilla was also delicious. The chicken was fresh and seasoned well. Other food items: Fish and chips - I didn't try it but my bf said it was good Tavern Turkey. If you're looking for a wholesome sandwich that sounds just like how it was described on the menu. This would be it. It was good on day 1& still on day 2 for leftovers . Chicken wings - good! Would order again. (Had one of my boyfriends ) Chicken Chipotle Salad - chicken was delicious, the salad could have used a little more of something, not quite sure what though ( this is where I deducted the star, wish I could do half stars) No wait, either time. Once on Friday night, the second a Sunday afternoon after the slopes. read more
