You will also meet up with boaters, anglers, snowmobiles and locals out to grab a bite! My favorites on the menu are the Steak Bites (gotta love house made ranch!!!), the Club sandwich, the Broasted Chicken is arguably the best around, and you can never go wrong with a Wisconsin Cheese Curd!! The burgers are fantastic too! Half pound and hand pattied... delish! Also, the space is a LOT bigger than it looks from the outside so large groups and events are easily accommodated. We had my mom's Celebration of Life here and everything went off without a hitch. The staff took care of every single thing we asked for. Plus... there's a beautiful deck on the front as of 2024 so that adds even MORE space! In short... great food, great local bar where everyone is a "regular", and awesome staff!!!

The bar has festive holiday decorations currently and was a nice calm ambiance. Will definitely be back in the future!

My husband had the Bayside Burger with fries with house seasoning. The fries were SO good- hot and fresh. No complaints on the burger. I had the jerk chicken wrap with grilled chicken. My only complaint is that it really needed more chicken, it was mostly lettuce. I was advised to add jalapeños to the wrap for an extra kick and I'm glad I did. The flavor on the jerk chicken was great. Finished with a slice of banana cream pie which was good. Would definitely come back.

Stopped in Saturday night for some live music. The place was busy but thankfully not chaotic busy…read more When I entered the host sign was turned to "Please Wait To Be Seated" but nobody was there so I started to mosey to see where I thought the musician would play? I entered the dining room off to the north and asked a staff where he would play? She pointed to the area by the host stand. As I began to make my way to the stand to wait to be seated I saw two women vacating a table so I asked them if they were leaving and if I could have their table? I was only there a short few minutes before the bartender came out to ask if I needed a drink or a menu? Also stated she would clean the table. I told her "I saw the wait to be seated sign but nobody was there". She said they do that so the servers don't get overwhelmed. There were a few cocktails that sounded absolutely delicious, but they'll have to wait for another day when I have room in my belly. I opted for the kids grilled chicken tenders, it was like a pounded out chicken breast cut in to strips, perfect enough for me. I like the decor...look up, some of the light fixtures are wagon wheels w lanterns hung from them. The area above the "gambling" corner has a car bumper and old Radio Flyer just below the ceiling, fun. There is a sign on the wall there that reads: Drinks 2-for-1 while gambling. If that's your jam! The acoustics were great for the musician! Parking Parking was easy w all four sides of Main Street offered free parking and the east/west running streets also offered free parking. Nutty Squirrel has a sign on the wall near the host stand that lists their daily Specials. My server was "sous-chef trying to earn some extra cash, Anthony". Let me tell you, as I asked a fellow who was bopping around all night "are you the manager? Sous-Chef Anthony wasn't good... he was freaking fabulous! I asked him for a sauce lid a bit ago and said don't you dare come back here in two minutes with a lid... I'm here all night!" Anthony replied "I'm not doing anything else at the moment." When he had brought out my food I asked "could you bring out silverware when you get a moment?" Anthony replied "I can do it now, I got you." He was so friendly and attentive, very much appreciated. Thanks Nutty Squirrel for a simply delightful evening! Delicious food ordered from and brought out by a friendly fellow in a comfortable and well lit environment for a reasonable price. Looking forward to my next visit when I can imbibe in a cocktail or maybe have the Burger of the Month! Cheers!

I went with a couple of buddies and we sat at the bar, the bartender was very friendly and was telling us stories about the busy night she had on Christmas Day. I ended up getting a mixed drink called the Delorean which was Guinness mixed with Skrewball. The drink itself was strong yet good, and they had a promo going on so I ended up getting the whole thing for just a dollar. They had sándwich and other food options as well but I just went for the drink. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place if you're spending anytime in Prior Lake.

The standard chips that come with meals are just bagged, which was a bit of a letdown...I was at least hoping for something house-made. Still, overall a really solid spot!

We shared the cheese curds appetizer, which was great. For main dishes, my son created a meal by combining the appetizer chicken tenders with a side of fries. It was a LOT of food, and very good. He brought about half the tenders home. I had a chunk of a tender, too, and really enjoyed it. My husband had the southwest burger with tots. The tots were huge, like little barrels! I had the weekend special, a winter grilled cheese. To grab the description from their social media: "Brie, bacon, apples, hot honey, and white cheddar on cranberry wild rice bread." It was extremely good. I had potato salad on the side, and I have to say, it was probably about the best not-homemade potato salad I 've ever had. Incredibly fresh. I had an apple cider mule to drink, too. I really loved the woodsy, homey vibe, too. As we were there in December, there was lots of Christmas decor.
