We stopped in here for lunch Wedneday 27 September. The parking attendants over at the Lake George Stemship Company warned us that we would be paying for the view of Lake George. To be quite honest, there wasn't much of a premium. We enjoyed the Fish and Chips and the portions were so large that we couldn't finish the fries [chips.] The service was excellent.This is an open air venue one story above street level. They are able to close it in with transparent roll up shades and heat it with propane towers, noeither of which were needed on the date we visited.

I usually don't start my reviews with a negative perspective, but my experience at the The Lookout Cafe on 7/12/23 was dampened by our hostess Greta. She appeared to be unhappy in greeting customers as well as not saying thank you for coming to customers when they left. Aside from that, the rest of the service was great, as our server Liam was helpful and friendly towards us and answered any questions we had pertaining to the food.I came for lunch and I ordered the Still Bay fish and chips, which was a fried, beer-battered haddock, which was tender and moist. The "chips" were fries, and they were flavorful. I also had ginger ale to drink with the meal.

We decided to try Rooftop since we were looking for a place for small bites. When we arrived at the restaurant, there were lots of people in line. We had a party of 12 in front of us, but they were excused by the receptionist due shortage of staff.The restaurant has a beautiful front view of the lake, but it can still use some lights and brightness when the weather is dark and gloomy outside.The food is prepared in very basic way in this restaurant and desperately needs some uplifting. The chowder wasn't creamy, felt watery, the crispy layer of the fish, in fish n chips, had no taste or flavor. The fries that came with this dish, were blent and tasteless. The hot dog was a basic bread and a hot dog paddy, though it was the best thing I tasted there. The mac and cheese could certainly use some more cheese. The fries with hot and mac & cheese were totally disappointed and tasted much better.The service was extremely friendly, prices are decent but the restaurant totally lacks in it's primary objective of serving good food.Food taste - 3/5Food prep time - 5/5Service - 5/5Price - $$&Chowder soup - 2/5Fish and chips - 1/5Hot dog - 4/5Mac and cheese - 3/5

I like that everything they serve food in is disposable, it faces the lake, right next to the Fort, the Steamboat, beach and other restaurants and bars. Prime location, and drinks are decent. The waitresses are great, I went twice and was very pleased with the girls. Bathroom could be better/bigger.

Lookout Cafe is one of our go to spots for a quick meal when in Lake George. We ate here twice during our recent stay in Lake George. Food was good as always, with the notable exception of the macaroni and cheese (off the kids menu). Don't get the macaroni and cheese, really. Everything else was very good. The views of the lake are beautiful, and the service was good.

Atmosphere was really good. Service was fast and friendly. Food was pretty good and they have great views overlooking lake George. Right next to the Ft McHenry Convention Center. Would come back again.

As good as the shrimp po-boy looks, it lacked flavor except for the sauce. Shrimp was rubbery and prices were a bit much for what you received. Service was fast and efficient and the view was what saved the meal!

Spacious outdoor dining with views of the lake. Food is generic and rather bland but our waitress was nice, food came quick, and the beers were very reasonably priced. Nice place to sit and watch the steamboats coming and going if you're ok with a simple burger, wrap, or salad. I'd recommend they spice the food up and add a few more choices to the menu.Vegetarian options: Grilled veggie wrap and veggie burgers availableKid-friendliness: Spacious, highchairs available, kids menu

This is the best view to see all of Lake George. They have a good view, good service, and good food. Sometimes it can be busy and it is a little expensive but you are paying for the view too.If you get to go it is worth it! Fireworks every Thursday too!

Well managed and all the employees new their job. Good view as well. Other than that, nothing to email home about. Weak drinks and salty food. You can tell the place is old.

The staff was very friendly here. The food is ok. Nothing to write home about but if you are walking around in the village and need a quick bite it's a decent place to stop. The best thing about this place is definitely the view of the lake.

Great view of LG while dining in this roof top patio. They have a good selection and fair prices. The view though is the biggest draw for this eatery.

Food was good and service was ok. Went during the heat wave so it was very hot. All seating is outdoors but the view is amazing.

Calamari was obviously frozen and possibly freezer burnt. Inedible. Nachos had cheese sauce, but no melted cheese. Kids were happy with their Kraft Mac and cheese tho smh.

Good place for casual dining. Seating is on upper level with the lakeside open but they do have rain curtains if needed. Portions were good sized and served quickly. The Fish and Chips was the best of the meals we ordered but the others were good too. We will definitely go back again.
