About Us

Welcome to The Lookout Bar & Grill

Where you’ll come for the food, but stay for the fun!

A favorite for both Maple Grove locals and visitors alike, The Lookout Bar & Grill is a place that offers a little something for everyone. We’ve been family-owned and operated since our establishment in 1958 and we’re proud of it! Our lunch and dinner menus feature award-winning appetizers, entrees, salads, and sandwiches, inspired by our favorite family recipes and prepared fresh in our kitchen from scratch.

Entertainment is a high priority at The Lookout, for adults and children alike! Enjoy live music from popular Twin Cities bands every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night, a volleyball court hosting nightly tournaments, a children’s playground, outdoor bar, and our newly-remodeled outdoor patio. See what’s going on this week on our Live Music Calendar & Event Calendar.

Along with our lunch and dinner service, The Lookout Bar & Grill also specializes in catering for private parties. With two spacious banquet rooms on-site and a customizable banquet menu, your next company meeting, graduation party or wedding reception is guaranteed to be a hit!

Already chosen another banquet hall or event space? The Lookout Bar & Grill offers off-site catering in Maple Grove, Osseo and surrounding Minneapolis and St. Paul suburbs! Learn more by visiting our Catering page.

In the Community

The Lookout Bar & Grill was born & raised in this wonderful northwest Minnesota community. Without the support of our Maple Grove locals & community leaders, we wouldn’t be where we are today. 

Participation in community events that give back to the community is our way of saying “Thanks” for years of support! Come try your luck today with our e-Pull-tabs and e-Bingo available in the bar area, with proceeds going to the Maple Grove Fire Relief Association.
