What a find! Of course, I'm sure the only We got a table with a great view as quick as we did was because it was christmas eve afternoon. But dang am I glad that we stopped! What a beautiful view, terrific food, and excellent service.
My husband said it was the best breakfast skillet he has ever had. The veggies were huge and so fresh. The Vegan chorizo made it even more enjoyable.
The Brunch burger was perfectly seasoned.
The waffle fries were awesome.
Highly recommend and hope we can get a table here again!
Service is always great here!
Love that they have indoor, a deck, and an additional lower deck to sit at. Food is always great and over the summer they have live music outside! Also, who can beat the views? Right on the water overlooking Lake Prior!
Bonus: they have changing tables in the women's AND men's bathroom! Love that more places are having this.
Staff did a wonderful job! Food was great and everyone was friendly! This is a terrific, summertime fun spot to go to!
Everything we ordered was so so delicious. Especially the pulled pork beef sandwich ????????
The prices are also really good and everything was affordable.
And the view from the restaurant, especially when the weather is good, is just amazing.
Charlie’s On Prior is an upscale dock side eating establishment that specializes in with my family affectionately calls “vacation food”. In the summertime, there is ample outdoor seating, and that’s when it really shines. If the weather is nice, you’ll have a beautiful open air view of Prior Lake. A fun, upbeat soundtrack (“Summer Breeze” by the Isley Brothers) to set the stage for a picnic style atmosphere. The seating is mostly stools and high tops and there is ample shade provided by awnings and table umbrellas. We ordered shrimp tacos, a pulled pork salad bowl, a buffalo chicken wrap, and steak tacos. Everything was well-prepared with all the expected flavors with a couple of exceptions: the cilantro lime rice (ordered as a side) stood out as remarkably bland, and the 3/4 cup of Elote Corn (nice to see on the menu) was not worth the up charge. Our bill for four people came to around $80.
They have a very small parking lot, but mercifully provide free valet, parking for a lot that is right across the street. It’s a little awkward, with the valet stand situated near the parking lot entrance, as opposed to near where you walk in the restaurant, but it’s a nice service.
Overall, our family felt like we were on vacation for about an hour. We were very pleased with the food and the atmosphere.
Six of us went for a birthday celebration. Impressive menu. Nice ambiance. Great service. All of the food was terrific except for the Lobster Mac & Cheese - there was NO cheese in it. When that was pointed out to the server, she apologized, took it away and came back with a new bowl. The second bowl did have cheese in it, but it was very runny, like soup. The first bowl with no cheese actually tasted better. It was unfortunate that the one bad meal was what the birthday girl had ordered. For their part, they recognized their error and took that off the bill.
Walleye and shrimp tacos were delicious as was the shrimp pasta dish.
Warmed brownie with ice cream for the birthday girl was very thoughtful! Delicious too!! We'll definitely be back!
We had Sunday morning breakfast on our last visit. We were seated right away, we had no reservations but got there shortly after they opened. Server was great and attentive. Drinks were served timely and food order was taken and food was also timely, and was exactly as expected and delicious. We will visit again and hope to enjoy the outdoor seating.
The worst service .. waited over an hour and a half for food so we got to go boxes. Opened our food boxes in car, our fish tacos were full of coleslaw with cold fish tacos droppings, pics attached. Won’t be coming back here for food
