Charlie's On Prior

"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!"

"Cool place right on the lake so the views are very nice. Our server was pretty cool and energetic. Fair pricing on the lunch menu as well. I look forward to going back one day"

"My bowl was one of my favorite things I've had in a long time! It was so good! My daughter loved her burger as well. First time ever eating there as I don't live out that way. However, it would be worth the drive to go again! At outside as it was a beautiful night. Our server was awesome!"

"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."
