Where Midwest Tradition Meets Culinary Innovation

The Lookout’s menu is a celebration of the rich culinary traditions of the Midwest, but with a fresh twist. Think hometown favorites reimagined with surprising ingredients, handcrafted sauces, and layered textures that pack a punch. Executive Sous Chef Rigo puts it best:

“Each dish is crafted for quick service without sacrificing bold flavors—every bite surprises.”

This isn’t just food to fuel your day—it’s an experience that elevates every moment at Lake Lawn Resort.

Signature Bite: The Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich

A standout favorite on the menu, the Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich brings together a perfect storm of sweet, spicy, and savory. It starts with a golden-fried, marinated chicken breast—crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside—layered with creamy slaw and a tangy dill pickle for crunch and contrast. The real magic? A generous drizzle of hot honey sauce, striking a bold balance of heat and sweetness.

Served on a warm, soft pretzel bun, this sandwich is as satisfying as it is mouthwatering. It’s fast-casual comfort food elevated to craveable new heights—ideal after a swim, a round of golf, or lakeside lounging.

Fresh & Flavorful: The Healthy Berry Salad

For a lighter option that still delivers vibrant taste, the Healthy Berry Salad is a refreshing crowd-pleaser. A colorful base of mixed greens is topped with a generous berry medley, candied pecans for a sweet crunch, and blue cheese crumbles that add richness and tang.

Tossed with a raspberry honey dressing that’s bright, sweet, and subtly floral, this salad is more than a side—it’s a full-flavored feature on its own. Light, healthy, and beautifully plated, it’s perfect for sunny patio dining or pairing with your favorite entrée.

Dining with a View—and a Vibe

What sets The Lookout apart isn’t just the food—it’s the entire atmosphere. The eatery’s warm wood interiors, panoramic views of Delavan Lake, and live local music create a laid-back, welcoming vibe that brings families, couples, and solo adventurers together. Whether you’re dining indoors or grabbing a quick bite on the patio, every seat comes with a view—and every dish tells a story.

Quick Doesn’t Mean Ordinary

Executive Sous Chef Rigo and his kitchen crew understand that in a place like Lake Lawn Resort, guests are looking to pack their days with exploration, not wait around for a meal. That’s why The Lookout’s new menu focuses on efficiency without compromise. Orders are turned quickly, plated beautifully, and served with the signature hospitality that Lake Lawn is known for.

From the first bite of a spicy-sweet Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich to the last forkful of a refreshing Healthy Berry Salad, every dish is designed to surprise and satisfy, without slowing you down.
