State Line Cafe, Alpine, New Jersey (NJ). Also, known as State line lookout, Closter, NJ, state line lookout trail, Palisades state park NJ, Rockefeller lookout palisades parkway, and state line dinner.

"Lookout Inn" was built from Palisade stone and chestnut wood in 1937-38 by the Works Progress Administration (WPA). The Park kept the Inn open-air during warmer months, and an attendant (In the video, you can see in the large photograph taken in 1938) operated a filling station in the parking area.

U.S. Route 9W passed between the Inn and the lookout point, and on a busy day the Park assigned a policeman to help visitors

cross the highway to enjoy the view; later, the policeman controlled a traffic light for this purpose. After the Palisades Interstate

Parkway opened in the 1950s, 9W was moved to the west and park visitors now use the once bustling roadway as a trail.

People say about this place on Google business:

1) Always loved this place, still love it. Such a gem, a treasure. And the coffee is great. And the burgers and the fries are very good. The baked goods are homemade and also wonderful. Love the authentic old mountain cabin vibe, and the bookstore. Just really glad it is here.

2) LOVE this place; great place for a good burger after a hike!

3) The food is hearty and welcome after a long hike, but too slow for a quick bite on the road. Friendly but not speedy service, plenty of room for kids to explore outside, food isn't anything special but certainly not bad.

4) Great staff! I just wish there were some healthier food options.

5) The great burger here after my hike!
