"The Lookout Roadhouse is truly one of those rare finds that makes you want to come back again and again. Nestled atop a scenic overlook with panoramic views of Lake Elsinore and the surrounding valleys, this spot offers the perfect blend of natural beauty and delicious comfort food. We ordered the charcuterie plate and were blown away—not only was it beautifully arranged, but the quality of the meats, cheeses, fruits, and dips was outstanding. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and paired perfectly with a cold beer on a sunny day. The pepper jack, Babybel, Manchego-style cheese, and salami were especially satisfying, and the fresh fruit and veggie sides balanced it all out wonderfully. The outdoor patio seating made the experience even more magical. Sipping a cold brew while soaking in the fresh mountain air and jaw-dropping views of the lake and surrounding mountains was the highlight of our day. It felt like a mini getaway without going far. Service was friendly, fast, and laid-back—exactly what you’d hope for in a place like this.If you’re ever near Lake Elsinore, do yourself a favor and stop by The Lookout Roadhouse. Whether you’re in for a casual bite, a scenic beer, or a memorable date spot, this place delivers. Highly recommended!"
