Overlook at the New River Gorge Restaurant

The Overlook at Hawks Nest is an absolute gem! The food here is outstanding, everything looks and tastes freshly made. The spinach and artichoke dip was creamy, rich, and perfectly paired with crisp tortilla chips. And the spaghetti and meatballs? Absolutely delicious! The sauce had great flavor, and the garlic bread was toasted to perfection. Beyond the food, the atmosphere really makes the experience special. The restaurant has a cozy, scenic charm that perfectly matches the beauty of the Hawks Nest area. It’s a great place to relax, enjoy a meal, and take in the views after exploring nearby trails or overlooks. If you’re in the area, definitely stop by The Overlook, it’s one of those places that combines great food, great service, and great scenery all in one.

To access the restaurant you go in from the main door of the lodge. Our server was very helpful, she recommended the mac and cheese bites which were way spicier than I thought. I had the chili while my partner had the French onion soup both were delicious. The views out the window of the restaurant are amazing. There is not a bathroom on the floor where the restaurant is you have to take the elevator up or down to use one so I recommend using the restroom before you go to the restaurant

We were out for the day and decided to stop in for dinner. The food was delicious, the waitress was very nice, and the view was fantastic. We would definitely stop and eat here again.

Beautiful views out the windows of the restaurant. The service was friendly. The food was not so great and the prices were too high for the food you received. It could be so much better.

Polite staff and great food. Very active staff as well I never waited for a refill. My waitress knew the menu and was able to give recommendations. The view is unbelievable
