The Overlook Restaurant

This place is very conveniently located, and has ample seating room plus many food options. Although I brought my lunch and only purchased coffee here (which is what I typically do on the mountain), my brother got the pot pie and said it was delicious. I love the fact that there is an entrance on the lower level near the bathrooms for people who want to stop and use them but not sit down or dine.

First off, the name is very misleading… I would rename it The Overlook Cafeteria, because that is what it is. There is no service, no bar, no menu items, only baskets of chicken tenders and burgers sitting under heat lamps. They were out of just about everything and it was 1 O’clock in the afternoon. My choices were soup, chili, chicken tenders, or a cheeseburger. They did have a plethora of snack options, all incredibly over priced. This place is highway robbery! I opted for the chicken tenders even though I saw it costed $ 13. I realize everything is expensive on the mountain but I was able to get a nice burger and fries served to me for cheaper at the base of the mountain at T Bar. I grabbed a bottle of water but ended up putting it back at the register when I found out it was $ 5. That’s worse than stadium pricing! I couldn’t believe people were buying the water when you could just get it for free at the pop machine. I added a cookie for $ 5, probably should have asked how much that costed too but it was already too late. I really just couldn’t believe how expensive everything was for being in a cafeteria when there is multiple bar restaurants around the mountain with cheaper food that is served to you, cooked to order, not sitting under a lamp. I suppose it was my own fault, but I will not be back the rest of the trip that’s for sure. Yes, the view was nice but I get the same view while skiing all day. Really nothing special about the food, the majority of what they sell is pre-​packaged anyway and the hot food is nothing out of the ordinary for a cafeteria. Avoid this spot, there are such better spots to grab some food on the mountain for a better price!

This «restaurant» has an amazing view due to it’s 11,000ft elevation and that’s the only thing it has going for it. I’m not sure that you could call it a restaurant since it’s entirely cafeteria style, grab a tray and approach the counter to order. We were entirely deceived and not quite expecting just a fast food cafeteria. If you’re in the mood for overpriced, greasy and fried food then this is the spot to go.
It’s nice that they advertise salads, pizza, wraps and grilled chicken sandwiches except for the fact that they were out of all of these «healthier» choices when we stopped there this afternoon around 12:45pm. While it’s nearing the end of the ski season, I still believe this is disappointing and ridiculous. I went with the chicken tender basket over the cheeseburger, the only two options available. I can’t imagine what the vegetarians settled on!
The workers weren’t very polite either.
Definitely go the courtesy cup route if you want water because water bottles cost $ 5!
I wouldn’t choose to dine here again for any reason unless I want to grab a really quick bite or snack to tide me over on the mountain.
This restaurant just opened this past year and they have a long way to go to become the best they can. A great view and spot for a photo op but don’t even bother trying to eat here if you want a variety of foods or any food selection for that matter.

It’s a cafeteria — but the options aren’t bad — I got a pulled pork sandwich. They had a large selection of snacks. Choose from indoor or outdoor seating. The main draw here is the view. It’s situated part way up the mountain, so pick a spot outside with a view! And what really got me was that they slid my credit card, asked if i wanted a receipt, and then asked if I wanted hershey kisses — um, YES.
