    the outside of the restaurant

    Absolutely a gem. You must stop by if you're biking or floating the river. You won't be disappointed. The smash burger is to die for. You can get some shaved ice to cool down. They're closed Tuesdays and Thursdays. Check them out on Facebook at "the Outpost Eatery"

    Drive back to MD via PA. Great stop at this trail side burger joint. Melt in your mouth smash burgers. We were traveling with our dogs so added bonus to be able to dine riverside, with pets and have a good meal.

    Wowowowow! After the halfway point of our 28 mile ride, we were hungry and in need of a respite. Just before the West Newton bridge was The Outpost, a food truck evidently known for their smash burgers. Next door was the brewery truck, alas not yet open. With a 14 mile trip back, beer may not have been the best idea anyway. We split a monster burger and a side order of fries. Wow! Crispy patties, melted American cheese, grilled onions, lettuce, tomato, oh and bacon. Perfect for sharing. Mike always evaluates burgers on the grilled bun and this quickly rose to first place on his list. The pleasant surprise though was the amazingly friendly young men running the business. They were so polite and worked together as a team, constantly encouraging each other. Turns out that The Outpost is a project of Waypoint Youth and Community Center! A great burger for a great cause. We can't wait to return.

    Great place!

    This little place is amazing!! What a gem find for great melt in your mouth smashburgers and fresh squeezed lemon juice!! The people are so friendly and have an amazing outreach for the local kids that they mentor here! It's a beautiful location right along the river. So peaceful

    This restaurant is in an absolutely prime location, especially for seasonal traffic on the bike…read moretrail. It has so much potential to become a go-to spot for locals and visitors alike. The staff is friendly and welcoming, which is a great start, and the overall atmosphere hints at what this place could become with the right direction. That said, it's clear they're still finding their footing after the ownership change. The food is currently mediocre at best-lacking flavor, with subpar ingredients that don't justify the high prices. The menu (which is crinkled up stapled computer paper, that is overly full and hard to read) feels uninspired and could benefit from a serious revamp-focusing on quality, fresh ingredients, and creativity. They didn't have an established bar menu, though dedicate ample space to having a decent bar area- one that is lacking of options that could elevate the overall experience-especially for those seeking a refreshing beverage to enjoy out on the great outdoor deck area. With its accessible location and innovative ideas like the doggie menu, this place could truly shine. I'm rooting for them to make improvements, as the potential is absolutely there. I hope to see them turn this place into something truly special!

    Food was decent but a little pricy. Our bill was nearly $50 for a fish sandwich, bowl of soup,…read moresteak wrap and a soda. Service was friendly and efficient and the restaurant was very clean.
