This place was a little worse than expected for a dive. It's super dark inside and very dated. Our server was super aggressive--coming up roughly 5 minutes after we sat and standing there until we ordered (and not really interacting at all with us other than taking our orders). After that, they vanished until they brought the check. Also important to note--They only take cash or check at this place.We started with the salad bar, which was really basic, but not terrible. My insider tip is to get the chocolate mousse and save it for dessert. It's really good! Our appetizer was onion rings and they were surprisingly good! Hot and not too heavily breaded. I got the chicken tenders and baked potato for my main. Chicken tenders were subpar and had almost no flavor. The baked potato was hardly even warm. Wouldn't recommend either of those!

5:00 Wednesday night. Third inline to get in. Our group of 12 had a table set up waiting since we called ahead (3:30). Everyone ordered chicken. We enjoyed the salad bar (included with the dinner). The Kids were so excited to see chocolate moose next to beets?Parking: Gravel lot on North side of building. Some street parking in front.

I haven't been to Chet's for a long time. It is located on a small lake near Miltona, MN and it is POPULAR! We tried going on a Saturday night and it was packed. We decided to come back about 4:30 on Sunday, thinking it would be less busy. It was not!We were seated towards the back of the restaurant and could view the lake from our seat. Pretty cool. Our waiter was a nice guy and I ordered a Summit Pale Ale to start us off. No draft beer, OK. What do you want from a small lakeside restaurant in a small town?The place does seat quite a few people and the first thing you notice when you walk in is the well-stocked salad bar and bar off to the side. They are known for their broasted chicken, but I ordered 2 walleye fillets, and it came with a trip to the salad bar and I got a side of some of my favorite things ever, but you rarely find, fried chicken gizzards.I disregarded the salad and stocked my plate with tons of chopped olives and mushrooms and all the goodies. They had cold salads and chicken noodle soup that all came with my trip. It was AWESOME!The chicken gizzards came out first and were perfect! Not too much batter and nice and hot. Tater tots came with my meal as well. I mean come on. Who doesn't love tater-tots? I rarely get them, but they were delectable. The fillets were good size and a dip in tarter sauce and a squeeze of lemon made for some perfect fish. Unfortunately, I was STUFFED from my accouterments and could only have a few bites of my fish. It made for a great lunch the next day and heated up well in the microwave.Great place for a family dinner and good people all around!

If you don't try the chicken at least once, you're not doing Chet's right!
