A Minnesota Institution: Chet's Lakeside Inn

Do we do anything but eat on these trips?

It’s a fair question. After a day of exploring, we found ourselves heading to a true central Minnesota institution, Chet's Lakeside Inn.
We simply could not resist mugging for the camera.

Though there is plenty to choose from, there was really only one thing on the menu for us: their legendary fried chicken. It’s a place filled with memories, and it's always a highlight of our family gatherings.

Wherever you roam, may you always find the local spots that feel like coming home.
