About Prairie Moon

Prairie Moon is a restaurant that serves a variety of expertly cooked seafood at a reasonable price. The menu is unpretentious, and the food is quite good. The chefs are skilled in preparing fish, with options such as rare salmon, encrusted walleye, and pine nut & sage trout. Recently, customers have enjoyed dishes like catfish nuggets, shrimp and crawfish etouffee, and pan-seared whitefish with mashed potatoes and broccoli, all of which have received high praise. Sides complement the dishes, including garlic spinach and steamed broccoli. The restaurant offers a lively atmosphere with live jazz music, creating a fun and relaxing vibe. The service is generally fast and friendly, with staff being very accommodating. Many visitors enjoy the key lime pie, often squeezing fresh lime over it for extra flavor. The setting is wonderful, though it may be less accessible for some, especially those who have difficulty with dark stairs. The menu is diverse enough to encourage multiple visits, and the restaurant shows a strong sense of community engagement. Notable dishes like the “slider” burger during happy hour, which is a full-size burger with fries, and the unique salmon chowder, have received special praise from customers. Overall, Prairie Moon offers a great dining experience with tasty food, good entertainment, and welcoming staff.

We love Prairie Moon, especially the family burger box for four. The burgers are made to order and the portions are extremely generous. The burgers (including a vegetarian and chicken option) also come with your choice of fries (garlic or regular) which are both fantastic. To top it off, the meals are served with a side of coleslaw and a huge salad portioned for 4 (but big enough for 6 it seems). Because the portions are so generous, I now have salad leftover for my lunch today!
