Chet's Lakeside Inn

Got in right after opening, fourth in line, took over an hour to get our order, wife had the prime rib and chicken special, she said it was good. I had the seafood shipwreck, walleye and cod were exteremly overcooked, shrimp were good though. Service friendly but very slow.

We have went here for years it has went downhill. The service from the time we walked in until getting our bill was not friendly plus the ribs were not worth the money! 😔

Food was fantastic, service is friendly but slow because of the small kitchen there. If you go plan for a couple hours, but the food is worth the wait.

The chicken was OK to Good. But we waited over an hour. Our server never checked on us despite being close by. After well over TWO HOURS we wanted just one thing...the check so we could pay and get out. The section we were in was dark and did not feel remarkably clean. Won't be back.

Parking: Lot is a little small.

Chet’s chicken is a local favorite with famous chicken. The coating of the chicken was developed by the owner many years ago and is flavorful and keeps even the white pieces moist. Older building, but clean. It has a small salad bar but everything on it is excellent Staff are friendly. They don’t credit cards but have a ATM. With a larger group consider reservations.

Parking: Gravel parking lot.

Kid-friendliness: Kid menu has plenty of food and drinks. They have access to salad bar as well.
