The Stakeout is firing up the smoker and offering an exciting new summer menu of smoked meats, inspired vegetables, causal sides, house made ice cream + more! Pair our legendary views with a one of a kind cocktail, cold beer, or refreshing wine by the glass or bottle. Whether returning from a river hang or your favorite hike, come as you are, and bask in the summer glow, sans reservations, with your friends and (well-behaved) furry friends. And don’t skip the ultimate vibe that is the golden hour spectacle from our famed patio. Follow the rabbit in the hat from highway 68 ;)

the legend of outlaw hill

From The Stakeout, one can see the Mesa Pedernal, 80 miles to the south, as well as Tres Orejas, Cerro, San Antonio, Picuris, and Taos Mountain. An “interested eye” can see the Gorge Bridge, which leads to Tres Piedras and the town of Carson, named after the most famous trapper, adventurer, and Indian Scout to explore Northern New Mexico. 

The vantage of Outlaw Hill provided ample cover for the desperados and on-the-lam types who came here to rest and keep a lookout for approaching lawmen or adversaries coming from any direction. 

Much later, in the 1970s, many locals and celebrity types frequented the site when The Stakeout was home to a beloved restaurant and bar.
