The sunny days are here to stay in Minnesota – at least for now. But anyone who’s lived in the Land of 10,000 Lakes knows that the sunshine doesn’t last. In just a few months, the cold and snow will be ready to settle in over our state once again. That’s why we need to make the most of the warm weather! One of the best ways is by taking up residence at one of Minnesota’s countless waterfront restaurants. There are many to choose from, but Charlie’s on Prior is special for its gorgeous views and amazing food. Read on to learn about this delightful lakeside restaurant.

Charlie's on Prior is a beautiful waterfront restaurant right on the shores of Prior Lake. The address is 3950 Green Heights Trail SW, Prior Lake, MN 55372.
