An amazing dining experience from start to finish. The food was outstanding across the board--the wings were easily some of the best I've had, perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The tempura green beans were light, crisp, and addictive, and the pastas were executed beautifully with great depth and balance. The views of the city are absolutely breathtaking and add a special touch to the entire experience. Service was warm and welcoming, with a friendly staff that made us feel well taken care of throughout the meal. The décor carries a refined, fine-dining feel that elevates the atmosphere without being over the top. Overall, a memorable spot that delivers on both food and ambiance. Highly recommend. read more

As an international traveling food critic and unbeknownst to the staff, the following is what I experienced: + Staff were welcoming and personable. + Great views! - Food quality has dropped significantly since my previous experience over four years ago. Management clearly has changed. +/- Server was very positive and upbeat, but quite scattered and forgetful about our requested orders. - HVAC venting system was terribly adjusted for the tables near the windows, so much so that our party had to move because of it, but it was not much better in the new location in the row of booths behind the window tables. If you are in the area and don't take the time to visit here for the views and not so much for the comfort or quality of dining, you missed out on a unique experience! read more

Coming to Bass Pro was not a well planned experience which is very unlike my natural type A analysis paralysis personality. My cousins were delayed and disorganized and I needed a home run experience to occupy my kids after our arduous five hour car ride. Rather than bet on the museum I opted for some Johnny Morris magic. We pulled into the Bass Pro pyramid parking lot and found a primo spot almost knowing we were going to have a ball at the pyramid. We wasted no time getting in the long line to go to the lookout not realizing there was an epic resturant up there. When we got up to the top I was enthralled with the resturant. I checked out tables and happy people and decided to look for a reservation for as soon as I could get one. I was blessed to get a reservation an hour from when I wanted it but was able to get an instant table when I talked to the hostess. We got the best table ever !!! We had delicious food and the most amazing view my kids felt like royalty. We took so many pictures and we were so so grateful for such a memorable experience! read more

We order tomato and mozzarella salad, red fish, lamb chops. ALL very good and we eat out all over the world. Was it the best? No but very good? Yes. The service was fair. She didn't seem to want to be there but we didn't let it get us down. You need to setup your reservations via an APP. You can't call them in. We tried. What a PITA Again, sat away from the windows. (If you read my other reviews) We seem to get sat in the least desirable place in empty restaurants. Maybe I need a haircut??? The view is everything and it was spectacular! read more

The Lookout - Triple Chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream - Bars Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

First a warning, you have to pay the admission to ride to the top of the pyramid in order to dine at this restaurant (I didn't realize this when making my reservation). This restaurant is not for those afraid of heights. The elevator to the top is open so you can see out and once at the top you have the option to go out onto the balcony. For the food, I really liked my scallops and grits. The grits were made with Gouda and other cheese and they were savory and delicious. I also really enjoyed my limoncello cake for dessert and had some nice wine as well. The servers were helpful and it was over all a very fun experience. There is some really cool sculpture in the bar area and the views out the window make for a unique dining experience. The place is touristy but I think worth it. read more

The food is not good here- service was fine, waiter was nice. We ordered pimento cheese and grilled bread and jam. The bread was cold and tasted like standard sandwich bread and the onion jam is literally just marinated cold onions. I ordered the salmon dish, and the salmon and asparagus was good, but something definitely off with the flavor of the mashed potatoes. My husband ordered the chicken and it was swimming in a juice and grits were extremely 'gritty' and tasted like they'd just been microwaved in water. Paid $17 just to ride the elevator up to a meal that was subpar. Hopefully someone can improve the meals- particularly the sides. read more

Bass Pro Shop is easily accessible by car with plenty of free parking around the Pyramid. You can skip the wait, and line up directly after paying $8 fare per adult on the right hand lane straight up to the 28th Floor. Great views on both lookout points. Make sure you head there before the last reservation at 6:30PM as the restaurant and entire store closes at 7:00PM, meaning you'd only be able to catch the beginning of sunset before close. I love the southwest view of the Mississippi River and the Hernando Desoto bridge. Make sure you go on a cooler day, as the window panes of the pyramid reflect sunlight at an angle back onto the lookout points. Very easy to get to with great view payout. read more

Absolutely horrible customer service. It took 6 people 30 minutes to sit a party of 6. The restaurant was wide open and the host staff was frantic and disorganized. We finally sat down and never got greeted by wait staff. We waited over 10 minutes and we decided to just leave. What a disappointment. read more

The view is amazing along with the service. We were enjoying the view and decided to enjoy it a bit longer by getting some drinks and food. The drinks were lovely and definitely hit the spot along with a descent appetizer. I would say the food is average and a bit overpriced. The view and service make up for it though. read more

It took 10 minutes for someone to even take our drink order, not even water to wait with. The server was very nice but missed half our order. $24 for "shrimp scampi" that was 7 boiled shrimp with peels still on with a plastic ramekin of fake butter and zero sides. No noodles. The shrimp scampi was on the dinner menu. On our way out while waiting in line for the elevator we were shooed aside by a hostess without any kind of excuse me or please just "clear the walkway" to the entire line of people waiting behind the sign that says wait here for elevator. Just hoping I don't get food poisoning. We also had to pay $8 per person even with reservations just to get to the restaurant. I was also charged $4 for club soda. I have never in my life charged someone for club soda or been charged for fountain club soda. read more

Neat little stop in Memphis whether you're an outdoorsman or not! The two observation decks make for neat scenery and views of downtown Memphis. The river and bridges look great from the POV. Dining room is large offering both tables and a lot of bar seating. Bar tender was friendly and just tentative enough, food was tasty and served perfectly. Very cool setting so high up. Definitely a must see when passing through Memphis! read more

Came in here for the experience and it did not disappoint. If you are afraid of heights I don't recommend taking the elevator up here. The outlook is very beautiful and you get great pictures. It was a little windy when I went so if you're wearing a hat hold on to it. While you are at it enjoy a drink at the bar that has a pretty awesome large fish tank in the center. This is a once in a lifetime type visit so if you're in town, drop in for sure. read more

When visiting the pyramid in Memphis this is a nice side step to get in. At the top of the pyramid is a section that you have to pay to enter, but it is totally worth it. I will preface this with the fact that I only came here to go to the lookout and not eat at the Lookout. Basically locate the elevator in the middle of the building and approach. Buy yourself a ticket and all you have to do is wait for the elevator to take the long trip up/down the tower. When you exit the elevator at the top follow the signs to the observation decks and take in the view. It may take you a few minutes to adjust when you step out onto the platform as it is meant to be a glass floor. Some of the panels, however, may need a good cleaning so that you can see through the floor. One observation deck allows for you to see out over the city of Memphis. The other observation deck looks out over the Mississippi and feels more rural than urban in view. To go between the observation decks you have to walk through the restaurant. When you are done taking in the view, just head back to the elevator to go back down. It can be as long of an experience as you want to make it out to be. read more

I took visitors from Germany to the restaurant last night, but unfortunately the view from the top of The Pyramid was the best part of the experience. We first ordered drinks, and the first two beers we selected they were out of, and the number of beers on the menu isn't that great to begin with. One of them was for a beer from the Ghost River Brewery just about a mile away - how do you run out of that one? Next my guests ordered one of the entrees, and the waitress told them that the kitchen was out of that. Then they ordered a different one, and she came back to the table to tell us they were out of that one too? So they ordered a still different entree that was supposed to come with mashed potatoes. When the meal was served, we learned they were out of mashed potatoes as well, and we were asked if we wanted to select a different side dish? As for my meal, the Tuscan Penne Chicken entree, the chicken was considerably over cooked and very tough. I was hoping for a much better experience, but the view from The Pyramid is the best part of this activity. I recommend just going up to see the view, and skipping the restaurant. Besides, you have to pay to go up regardless of whether or not you have reservations - you'd think that the ride up is free if you are going to eat an expensive dinner with a limited menu? It is not. read more

Had to make the pilgrimage to the second largest pyramid in the US, which also happens to be the home of Bass Pro Shops and Ducks Unlimited. The store is absolutely massive also boasting a hotel and other activities as well. The highlight however, is The Lookout that has some of the best views of the Mississippi River and the Memphis skyline. I cannot recommend visiting The Lookout during sunset enough. The restaurant and bar were pretty big. Although we didn't have any food, the drinks were pretty good. We had their espresso martini which was unique as it used Skrewball (peanut butter whiskey). The price of the drinks were after you factored in the cost to go up the elevator too. If you're in Memphis and want a great view of the River, check out The Lookout! read more

We finally stopped in this week on our way back from vacation. The outlook deck was closed due to wind but views were good from the tables. Service was great with a very attentive waitress. The price of dishes is too much for what is offered. It's not really upscale as advertised. It's a fun spot with a view. The food was better than I anticipated having read the reviews and knowing the view is probably better than the quality. It's worth a "one time" stop when passing through. read more

We had to sit at the bar since we didn't have reservations which was fine and the service was good. Overall the food was average and overpriced. read more

The Lookout - Our room - Bars Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

Driving around Memphis, the Pyramid stands out and our group of 4 decided to try the restaurant at the top. There's plenty of parking, since the Pyramid is a massive Bass Pro Shop with restaurants and hotels inside. We had made reservations ahead of time and made our way quickly to the elevator. Be prepared for the long wait for the elevator. NOTE: The elevator costs $10/person ($5/children). No discount for eating at the restaurant. When we finally made it to the top after a long wait, we were quickly seated. You have great views of the Mississippi and Memphis. I attempted to order the Catfish, but they were sold out. So I ordered the Genny Morris Fried Chicken ($26). This was fine, but on the pricey side. Chicken was crispy, but a bit too much of the country thyme gravy on top. After our lunch, we stepped outside on the terrace and took in the views. read more

I have to preface this by saying that they did discount our bill... 3 of us for dinner. Shirley Temple came immediately - we waited at least 15 minutes for our adult beverages. We were told it was a problem with the receipts in the bar. Our appetizer was fine; adults dinner came...and the server said he'd be right back for the pasta for our grandchild. And we waited...and we waited. A problem with the receipts in the kitchen we were told. It was at least a 10 minute wait for her dinner. I ordered the club sandwich. $22.00. Cold, made from packaged deli meat and cheese. Inedible. My husband said his ribs were good and the pasta was good. A second cocktail was ordered but never made it to the table. The view from this place is beautiful; wait staff was pleasant. But it is VERY pricey and definitely not worth the money. read more

The salmon at The Lookout was truly amazing, but unfortunately the service did not match the quality of the meal. The staff felt extremely unwelcoming from the moment I arrived, and the overall atmosphere lacked any sense of hospitality. The black bartender guy wearing shades was especially unprofessional and very dismissive, which made the experience uncomfortable and disappointing. For a place that charges such high prices, the service should be exceptional not lackluster and unfriendly. No matter how good the salmon was, the poor service overshadows the entire visit. I wouldn't recommend it based on the service alone. read more

The Lookout - Bars Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

I visited for the first time since it's opening. I have been to the Bass Pro Shop several times and was always intrigued about The Lookout. We finally had the opportunity to go. Let me start out with the elevator ride up. You must pay an $8 fee. Once you are on, there is a history lesson on how the Bass Pro Shop came about. It's a nice touch to the experience. Once you make it to the top, you are seated and able to go out and enjoy the view. I stood out on the balcony for a split second (heights are not my thing) lol! Once seated, we started with our orders. I had the crab stuffed egg rolls. I am not a fan of them. The texture threw me off. It was too moist and had too much off the sauce which made them a bit soggy. The buffalo sauce kind of help save them. For food I ordered the Bourbon wings. They were pretty good. The bourbon sauce was a bit sweet and spicy. They were fried the way I like my wing...crispy! The service was good. It is a nice family environment and very spacious. I love that the theme is maintained throughout. I plan to visit them again soon to try other items! read more

28 floors up at The Pyramid, this place could be a winner with a little thought and care for the customers. With prices reminiscent of fine dining and a menu with some impressive items, I was ready to enjoy my entry into 2025 with a spectacular meal. Unfortunately, I got less than that. Cocktails are fine, with some twists on classics, like peanut butter flavor in an expresso martini and some artwork as well. I opted for the duroc pork chop which suffered from some uneven cooking resulting in some raw meat close to the bone and dry spots elsewhere. The glaze was great but applied sparingly and it would have been nice to have a more generous application. The fried chicken they are known for is only available at lunch so the herbed chicken it was. The biggest issue, however, was the inability to separate the diners from tourists who rode up for the view. While some areas of the restaurant had barriers to prevent migration of viewers, others had no separation. We were seated alongside the window, tucked under a dark area and had multiple visitors table side checking out our view. It was to say the least disruptive. Additionally, there is no signage as you get off the elevator directing diners to the hostess and we wandered trying to find someone to lead us to our table. read more

I made reservations to eat at this establishment which if you canceled it was $10 per person cancellation. We arrived and then had to pay $10.00 per person to ride the elevator to get to the restaurant. Once we got to the top and seated the waitress took a while to even come take a drink order. The food was not anything special. I got the pulled pork grilled cheese. It came out cold and cheese was not melted. The bread was burnt and tasted terrible. The fries weren't bad. The table was located right against and next to the exit door which had a Christmas tree and decorated area so people were walking by the table in to view that and bumping chairs at our table. This place is nothing special so don't waste your time, money or appetite. They got a 1 because the fries were not bad. read more

Way over priced. Over rated. We were there 23 minutes before we got our drinks, 26 minutes before our order was taken and 57 minutes before we got our plates. Yes, I timed it. Three of us went for a late lunch. They were out of ribs, out of flat breads, and apparently out of someone who could cook a simple burger. It was so charred, just an over-sized hocky puck. The fries that came with it were room temperature. I was afraid of sending it back, lest I never see the waitress again. The beer I ordered with it was about three ounces short of a full glass. So was its refill, so I guess that's what they call a full glass. Don't waste your time and $$$$ going there. Try a Wahlburger on the ground floor and save your $8 per head for the elevator ride to mediocrity. read more

Such a great experience here. The food, the atmosphere, the service were all things you look for at a restaurant. Paying for the elevator was a dude but definitely worth it.

The view is very beautiful, great for a date night or a special occasion. I WILL definitely return here. Shout out to the chef, the lamb chops were PERFECTLY cooked. read more

I had an excellent experience at the restaurant. I had a large group and everyone enjoyed their food. I have the old-fashioned and my husband had the Tennessee lemonade and they were both great drinks. The view when the aesthetic of the place is very nice as well. However, what a strive in my review primarily is the lack of consideration and understanding for reservations. I had never been there before and did not know that you had to ride the elevator or that there was an express line and that you had to pay to go up there. By the time, my first person came for the reservation it was five minutes past the courtesy 15 minutes. I had called and they tried to explain the weight for the elevator, but they were not understanding at all. If they are going to be strict like this, then there needs to be a better process for getting people up the elevator. It even would make sense to put a note before you go when you make the reservation or something like that. I don't mind showing up extra early and going through this process, but because I did not know and my party did not know, I truly think the lack of consideration was just unfair. After some back-and-forth, the manager didn't work it out for the most part, but half of my party was far away from our table. This changed my experience and while I did ultimately have a great time, I probably would not recommend this restaurant for anything other than a date night where you have plenty of time to be there at least 30 to 45 minutes earlier. Also, you should be prepared to pay $8-10 per person just to go up the to restaurant. read more
