Review: The Overlook & Walter's Pub




 

Along the Ohio River the views are spectacular as you head 15 miles west of Corydon on scenic highway 62, but the real treat is The Overlook Restaurant. It sits atop a bluff, giving views of the Ohio River, Kentucky, and miles of hills. The view alone would be worth the drive or ride, and many people do make the drive, or ride, as the Overlook is family restaurant, biker destination, and pub, all rolled into one; but the food will keep you longing to return. Among the dinners, sandwiches, and salads, are some specialties. The fried chicken is incredible, as are the chicken livers, two of their specialties. But newer on the menu, the hand-cut, hand-breaded to order pork tenderloin is moist, tender, and has a very tasty seasoned breading. The desserts greet you at the door on your way in, and are delicious. The 'Death by Chocolate' cake is enough to kill, or should I say, serve, two; and is as decadent as it sounds. If you just want some flatbread pizza, a drink, or an outstanding BBQ pulled pork sandwich (comes with homemade chips,) sit out on the deck, Walter's Pub. The Overlook has something for everyone, and is one family restaurant that will never make bikers in their leathers feel out of place either in the restaurant or out side at Walter's Pub. The help makes everyone feel at home, so do make the journey to this gem of a destination!
