Great comfort food, beer and cider. They do a very good job catering events on-site and take care of everything.

Just went to the Taproom at Lookout Farm for the first time last night. Food was amazing and what a great band playing. Bar was full of great people. Thank you

So glad these folks have reopened their taproom. Great cider, great beer and the food is awesome as well. We shared a bucket of biscuits, chili lime bone in chicken wings and fried pickles. We are eating a 3 meat combo of top notch brisket, ribs and the juiciest sausage we have had! I hope we have room for dessert! If you have been thinking to come here, do it! We will definately be back!

The view last night was beautiful. I felt like relaxing with a glass of red wine as I enjoyed the sunset. The cab was chilled, which is unusual. It was the smallest glass of wine I had ever had in my life. I should have sent it back and gotten a beer. At least for $10 you get a full size cup of beer. For $12 I basically got a large shot of wine. They really, really need to do better with that.

Having been to 5-6 farms outside the Boston area- this is probably my least favorite of all the ones I’ve visited- mainly being the outrageous prices. $30/person for admission to the apple orchard and you’re handed the most hilariously small bags to pick from. The cans of cider were also super expensive- $26 just to drink 2 cans of mediocre cider. The breakfast pizza was pretty solid but the chicken biscuit was disappointingly dry. Trying to go through the different types of apples involves a LOT of walking with no option to take a hat or tractor ride. $7.50 for 3 donuts that didn’t even seem fresh. Overall spent way more money than I would have liked - go anywhere else for your fall farm experience

We went with our 2 year old and 5 month old to see the animals and let him play on a playground he hasn't been to yet. We couldn't get to either area without paying a minimum of $60 for two bags for apple picking. I asked if we could get just one, even though we don't even want apples. Nope, we both had to pay to get in. Absolutely not. He had a fine time playing with other random kids while we each had just one beer for a total of $22... 22 bucks for just two beers. We will never be back.

Just. Don’t. Go.Overpriced farm compared with other farms in the area. $30 - $35 for entry is steep for what you get - actually for what you don’t get. (Also $15 for purchasing a pumpkin is ridiculous too!)- no tractor rides - you’ve gotta walk miles to even get to the playground or corn maze.- playground and corn maze are miles away from the entrance - all the way towards the back of the farm.- playground was sadly dated. Wood structures - specifically the play tree house had lots of deteriorating wood.- haphazard playground that is not geared towards kids having a good time. - just a bunch of random decorations.- Lookout beer is mediocre.- apple farm is immature. Small trees.- only positive if you live in Boston is that it’s close - distance wise.Staff is a mixed bag. Old timer staff is great. The young staff members are uniformly rude and unhelpful.

Have to say it’s a nice farm with varieties of fruits to pick by seasons. They have outdoor dining and live music on weekends . But the steep price to enter and buy a bag .. price for a tiny bag on weekdays is $36 bucks which will store only maybe 8 apples is the most . It’s ridiculously overpriced for a tiny bag. Not even worth it to come here if you’re into apple picking. There’s better places out there that provide double the size of the bag .

This review is referring to the 2023 season. We were there today. We have been coming here for years. Unfortunately they have made many changes in recent years which have not improved the experience, but made it worse. They no longer have the train. The prices to pick apples are outrageous. They expect a three year old to carry a bag. No one over the age of two can enter the orchard without paying $35 for a very small bag. For a couple, that is $70 to walk through and pick some apples. For our family which includes a baby and two elementary age kids, apple picking is $140. That does not include any of the other poorly rated food or the drinks you can purchase on site. There are tons of other beautiful orchards in Massachusetts that are a better experience and a quarter of the price. I am sad to say this year will be our last visiting this farm, unless they make it more accessible for families again.

The $20 admission fee (for ages 3 and above) might seem steep, especially if your group consists mainly of adults. Additionally, there's an extra $20 charge per bag for fruit picking. However, this admission fee provides access to a wide array of captivating attractions, including a sprawling 2-acre corn maze, a picturesque sunflower field, and an engaging barnyard play area. These activities offer plenty of enjoyment for both children and families, although if the adult-to-child ratio is high, it might not offer the best value.Overall, it's a delightful place to visit with amiable staff. However, I feel compelled to recount a specific incident involving a manager whose name starts with "Ma." While we were in the u-pick area, she was seated in a golf cart at the far end, observing us. Despite challenging conditions, such as scorching sun and tired parents holding sleeping children, she repeatedly directed us towards the exit. Unfortunately, she did not open the makeshift gate leading to the "lookout" restaurant, forcing us to take a lengthy detour back to the restaurant. Was she technically in the wrong? Not necessarily. However, it did not align with the typical expectations of a "family farm," where one might anticipate a greater degree of understanding about the challenges families face in such situations. She conducted herself professionally but lacked the extra touch of empathy that can make a family outing truly exceptional.

This place is fantastic. Great ciders, wicked good pizza, I had the pulled pork,eggs and hashbrowns for brunch and was blown away. The seating is excellent on a beautiful day and it's good for families or an afternoon date.( that's what I did with my wife)10/10 would recommend

Sunday morning brunch was edible, nothing too fantastic in the food department. The house hard cider was pretty tasty! Definitely give the alcoholic cider a try.No animals seen, possibly just plants and a vineyard on the property

Tried the outdoor dining tonight. A disappointment. The menu is long, but everything we ordered was a fast-food quality, not great tasting and unattractive. Couldn't finish the beer either. Lots of garbage from packaging, McDonald's does better.It's a bummer because the idea of a beer garden is great and setting is very pleasant.

This is a review of the place as a concert venue only. I was there for Carbon Leaf on Sunday, June 35, 2023. I am going to try to not let me impressions of the performance (the show was AMAZING!!!) influence my review of the venue.Parking is easy - in and out. There is a 2 wrist band policy that seems redundant, but there are actually 2 different organizations working each event. One is to prove you're over 21 and can drink, the other is to show where your purchased seats are. I am not sure there is a bad seat in the house, honestly. We got there about an hour before show time, had reserved a large table, which is a picnic table, and were 30 feet from center stage. There are a few - a very few - smaller tables and a bunch of Adirondack chairs that could be purchased, too.Picnic tables, as you're aware, have no back support, so make sure you see someone perform who makes you want to get up and dance! Some in our party ended up laying in the grass because of a sore backs. But then, we're old.Oh, and only some of the tables have umbrellas for shade, so plan your sun screen supply accordingly, too.Food and beverage is better than any other venue I have been to recently. The beers are delicious and I am told the ciders were great, too. Among our party there were pulled pork sandwiches, their fried chicken sandwich, a cheeseburger, French fries, and - the best thing we got - frozen grapes! Aside from the fries, which were just ok, the sandwiches were good. Prices are more than what you would expect at a restaurant but way Way WAY less than the crap that Delaware North serves as the Garden and Fenway or any of the swill at the Xfinity center.Service was efficient and friendly. Rest rooms are Port-a-Pottys. Staff was friendly and helpful. I will definitely be following this venue to see who is playing here.
