While Prior Lake is just 20 miles from Minneapolis, this area has developed its own unique culture and characteristics, which are clearest in the city's abundance of dining options. Prior Lake packs a large taste punch, to say the least. Delectable steaks, burgers and pork chops are available at a number of bars and cafés, many of which are found on the water. Affordable Mexican and Italian restaurants will please more adventurous palates, and lovers of shrimp, trout and other fish will be delighted with Prior Lake's delicious grilled seafood. You'll leave with a story and a taste for exotic dishes if you try Minnesota's famous lutefisk and walleyed pike dishes.
