The River Views From The Overlook Restaurant In Indiana Are As Praiseworthy As The Food

When it comes to great food, there are plenty of options here in Indiana. But not all of them offer the same experience. If you want city vibes, head to any larger town. If you want to feel surrounded by nature, there are plenty of spots located in the forest. But if you want sweeping views of the river, there's one very special restaurant to visit.

Welcome to the Overlook Restaurant in Leavenworth. From the outside things here might not look especially unique, but trust us when we say you'll want to check out the back.

Sitting on top of a bluff, the restaurant offers a 20-mile panoramic view of the Ohio River.

While the view on its own is incredible, if you spend some time here there's a good chance you'll spot coal barges moving up and down the river.

The breeze and the views make this a no-brainer for people who want to experience the true beauty of Indiana.

But, of course, no restaurant is worth a visit if the food isn't good.

And we can promise you that this food is some of the best. The homestyle food is comforting in the best way.

Constantly changing specials make the menu fun and it gives a good excuse to come back over and over again.

Things like this fried seafood platter are huge, making a meal here worth the money. This one includes beer-battered whitefish, oysters, shrimp, crab cakes, Cajun crawfish, and hush puppies with two sides. And the price (at the time of publication) is under $20!

Even an inside table provides incredible views.

And when you're done, remember to order dessert!

Specifically, the famous coconut cream pie.
