Our Story

​Humble Beginnings
During the 1937 flood, 'Old Leavenworth' was washed away.  This caused the townsfolk to move up on the bluff.  A little over 10 years later, the Overlook opened it's doors in 1948.  Since money was short, only a little café and grocery store opened. The grocery was on the second floor of the original chicken hatchery, which was built in 1929. The gasoline pumps in front helped to supplement income.  Later on, it became a Greyhound bus stop and everything picked up.

News Travels
Tourists that stopped by used words like quaint or unique when describing the Overlook to their neighbors and friends back home.  Soon everyone's neighbors and friends began to visit.  Still to this day, customers tell stories about coming in when they were children, with their grandparents, and how they've come here since they can remember.  People come from miles away and all over the tri-state area to visit the Overlook Restaurant.

Improvements
The place needed sprucing up.  An old barn was tore down and the beams and planks from it were used to fix up the inside.  You will see this as you enter the restaurant.  Two new dining rooms were added along with a large deck.  We've increased seating from 32 originally to 160 seats today. 

Throughout all the above changes, the things that remained the same were our delicious food and friendly staff.  If you are ever in Leavenworth, Indiana, stop by and dine with us while enjoying the breathtaking view.
