When you’re hungry and looking for good quality food that will warm you up to help you fight the bitter cold, Lakeville, Minnesota, has a great variety of restaurants to choose from. Here are four of the best choices to get you started.
1. Morgan’s Farm to Table
Morgan’s Farm to Table is an award-winning restaurant located in the Best Western Premier Nicollet Inn. They pride themselves on sourcing the freshest ingredients from local farmers and suppliers, whenever possible, to bring only the best quality food to the table. Morgan’s has several different menus, too: dinner & lunch, breakfast, Sunday brunch, gluten-free, kid’s, and happy-hour.
To satisfy a hearty appetite, you could start with Muy Grande Nachos, which is a half-pound of tortilla chips topped with cheese, jerk seasoning, pulled pork, tomatoes, greens, red onion, sour cream, avocado, and salsa. Or, for a delicious vegetarian starter, choose the Baked Spinach Artichoke Dip, which is prepared with five kinds of cheese, onion, baby spinach, and artichoke hearts and served with freshly baked bread.
Entrees include savory dishes like the Grilled Jameson Pork Rib Eye, which is a 12-ounce bone-in ribeye basted in sweet Jameson whiskey glaze, the Pretzel Crusted Walleye, several half-pound 100% grass-fed beef burgers, hand-crafted sandwiches, pasta dishes, and more.
2. Porterhouse Steak & Seafood
Porterhouse Steak & Seafood has a warm, laid-back, welcoming atmosphere with big, comfortable booths and a lovely fireplace. The friendly, efficient staff strive to make your dining experience something you will want to repeat. Before dinner, you can sample one of their signature martinis, such as The Perfect 10, the Chocotini, or the Nuts & Berries Martini.
Starters include Sesame Crusted Ahi Tuna, Smokehouse Shrimp, and Clam Chowder. For the main course, you’ll find big juicy steaks, including a 24-ounce ribeye and a 28-ounce porterhouse, as well as a good selection of fish and seafood. Combination dishes give you the best of both worlds.
3. Harry’s Scratch Kitchen
As the name implies, the food at Harry’s Scratch Kitchen is made from scratch whenever possible, and that includes the soups, sauces, dressings, and even the ice cream. Sourcing produce from local farmers, the quality of the food keeps customers coming back. They are celebrating more than 20 successful years in Lakeville. If you have a big appetite, Harry’s will not disappoint.
To start, you could try the Bomber Wings, which is a pound and a half of wings tossed in your choice of three sauces and served with dressing. Burgers include the Six Cheese Patty Melt and, for the very hungry, the Angus B-29 Superfortress, a one-pound burger grilled to order. Chicken enchiladas and made-from-scratch meatloaf are just a couple of the entrees you can choose. And if you have room for dessert, all the cakes and cookies are homemade.
4. Cracker Barrel Old Country Restaurant
When you’re looking for tasty, filling food — whether it’s breakfast, lunch, or dinner — Cracker Barrel won’t leave you wanting. Breakfasts options include the Old Timer’s, The Cracker Barrel Country Boy, and Grandpa’s Country Fried.
Entrees feature favorites like Roast Beef, Chicken n’ Dumplins, and Country Fried Shrimp. Or, if it’s a burger you want, try the Maple Jam n’ Bacon Burger. And don’t forget to try their desserts — if you can!
Lakeville, Minnesota, is full of restaurants that will provide you with good, hearty food to keep you warm and satisfy even the biggest appetites.
