    Love Chet's and always make sure to get my fix when I'm in the area. Family owned, cabin feel on a lake. It's old school but that's the charm. Bartenders make great cocktails and the salad bar is fabulous. Don't miss Chet's if you're in Alex or surrounding area's of Alex.

    Few meals conjure up more anticipation for this foodie than an annual trek to Chet's Lakeside Inn in the lake country of Northern Minnesota. It is like Chet's got stuck in a time warp...maybe in the 1950s...serving up some of the best Swedish-style chicken anywhere this side of Stockholm. Tonight I ordered the half chicken - all white meat - broiled - with a baked potato and a bottle of Minnesota-brewed Grain Belt beer. Life is good at Chet's of Parker's Prairie, Minnesota. Chet's earns a nickel all day long.

    Usually I have had good experiences with the restaurant, but not tonight. I asked the waitress about the BBQ chicken sandwich and she said it was pulled chicken mixed in barbecue. Wrong. It was CHILI SAUCE!! Absolutely terrible, I could not even eat it. And the waitress did not check on us once, we had to get up and find her for the bill.

    My sister and I hosted a wedding shower at Chet's today. Cheri and her staff were very accommodating and a delight to work with. The appetizers were delicious and the service was exceptional. Chet's is a local institution for a reason. The food is great and they really know how to make you feel at home. And if you are used to Twin Cities prices, you will be blown away (in a good way) when you get your bill.

    Been eating here for over 20 years and it never disappoints! LOVE the salad bar and my walleye last night was just great! My son is on his way to the cabin right now and I have a feeling he will ask us to take him to Chet's for dinner. No problem son! Thanks for the memories!

    Have come up from minneapolis dozens of times to visit family nearby over a 30 year period. Lakeside has always had chicken that has no equal. I've been told that its pressure cooked before deep frying in a very light batter. If you're interested in trying something bold can only get here, try the horseradish-French dressing at the salad bar. It pairs delightfully with the shredded cabbage. Im a very fussy eater and would have said "eww" to the horseradish-french in my mind but it really works. Ribs also consistently impressive.

    Only down side is no credit cards. From the staff to the table next to you everyone is friendly. I trusted yelp about the chicken. Y'all undersold it. Both the white and dark meat were tasty and moist. But the breading! Just wow...the texture and taste. Nobody would read a review that long. Just not able to do it justice. Find your way to Chet's it is worth it.

    We ate at Chet's after doing a little research and are so glad we did. It's a smallish(from the outside) bar/restaurant typical of Northern MN. When you walk in, you are warmly greeted, and seated quickly. Chet's has a beautiful lakeside view and a huge menu. Our entrees varied from the fried walleye, to hamburgers to Hawaiian Pork Chops to their famous Chicken. Swedish Chicken that is. Everything was served quickly and piping hot. There is a salad bar with homemade dressings and chicken noodle soup. Many potato/side options with entrees. The food is outstanding. Their specialty Swedish chicken is super juicy and in a light, crunchy batter, almost tempura-like, but more golden. Prices are great, the interior is a must see because of all of the chicken paraphernalia and Crest green vinyl booths. This will now be a must stop place as we frequent the area several times a year.

    Best fried chicken on the planet. Ribs are a close second. If your heart can take it, give the onion rings a go as well

    3 Stars for all the memories. I have eaten here once per year for a quarter century, always in August. I have so many memories in this place, but the memories are not necessarily from culinary enjoyment. The food is not bad, but it has no "wow" factor either. The place is probably worth checking out, because lets be honest, there aren't ANY wow restaurants in Alexandria. BEWARE: I had their Specialty Swedish Chicken last August, and I do not think I will be back. I had the worst stomach ache starting immediately after my meal in the restaurant, which continued for 3 days! It was not fun, and almost certainly due to something I ate in the restaurant.

    A 'can't miss' when in Alexandria. Fun, kitschy and good, inexpensive food.
