Lookout Farm Brewing & Cider Co. Taproom - Natick, Massachusetts

Very good appetizers and sides! Friendly staff and there are often fun events and live music that bring lots of atmosphere to this spot. The bbq itself was ok — I ordered the smoked turkey and was a little disappointed to find it quite dry. The ribs were good but the brisket too was a bit overdone.

I had high hopes for this place but was pretty disappointed at the service and pricing. The service was through an app that was scanned at the table. I just wanted to grab a beer and sit outside in a nice day but I had to wait a good amount of time for them to be delivered. The pricing per beer was also very high and the app did included an administration fee. Also, I was confused when I showed up as there were no signs on how things worked and I had to ask a server what was going on, they made me feel like I was the crazy one for not understanding their unusual set up.

The farm itself was nice but and they did have live music. But I felt like I was an uninvited guest at a family cookout. I get the appeal to parents but be aware there was a lot of children running around.

I’m also no beer critic but I would be lying if I said I enjoyed this beer. It was drinkable but I’ve had many better options in the area.

The food was mediocre at best. The pretzel was hard & cold, definitely microwaved from frozen. The brussel sprouts were just plain with feta cheese thrown on them. The egg rolls are huge, flavor & texture is off, and it just seems like an odd choice for a place that clearly tried for a low effort/prep menu. Like, just serve easy bar food if you don’t want to actually cook anything? The atmosphere was like being in a home depot garden center with unnervingly bad music playing. 2 stars instead of 1, because the beer was good and the sunrise mimosa was good. *1 star instead of 2 because I just remembered there was only port-a-potties for a bathroom 🥴

Amazing food, family friendly and beautiful farm with a lot of activities for all ages. I see several reviews complaining about beer and food being overpriced, well first of all it’s a fair price how u think it cost to maintain a farm like this ? Simple if u don’t have the money to spend out don’t come and don’t leave a bad review just because u can’t afford it or u trying to be cheap.

Excellent! I had a great experience visiting in December 2024! The cider was fantastic and I loved the quality of the service and general ambience. The food was good as well.

I've been here on many occasions and it's just okay. Always sat inside so I don't know what the outdoor experience is like. The barbeque platters are the best value on the menu, especially the pulled pork. Everything else is over-priced for the portion size and quality, plus a mandatory 5% administrative fee. The admin fee just means people don't tip as much as usual, so it really comes out of the server's pocket which is quite sad. The ciders are generally good but, imo, overpriced at about $9 for a 14oz pour. Servers always seem stressed out and I've watched them struggle to use a door with a handle while carrying a tray to get out to the picnic tables. After working in several different restaurants, I know this alone would've driven me crazy. Then add in alcohol, fluky A/C, and families with kids running everywhere... no thanks. Have been given the wrong order several times, hard to blame them. But business seems to be good so I doubt anything will change.

Evan to the rescue!!!

First time on a sat night! Made reservations for 5:30 for six people. Electronic ordering makes it really easy. Super family friendly atmosphere! So many kids and families.

We ended up having an unexpectedly long wait for our food, which was hard… enter: Evan. He must be the GM or Manage the F&B for the place. I sure hope the owners realize the professional and polished guy they have running the operation— pay Evan more! He’s out here hustling hearts and minds of hungry patrons. Despite the kitchen timing snafu, we’ll be back for Evan !!!!

I love the combination of BBQ (including smoked turkey, which is harder to find in Boston) and cider! The biscuits with honey butter are also amazing.
