The Lakeside Restaurant In South Dakota You Simply Must Visit This Time Of Year

We're so happy that the weather is finally warming up, and we're really looking forward to some patio dining. This little bar & grill has delicious food and some of the most gorgeous scenery from its back patio, where you can also enjoy live music.

The Wakeside Bar & Grill sits right on the banks of Mina Lake, which is located in the northern part of the state.

The address here is 103 S. Sunset Drive.

This little gem opened back in 2011, and it's been serving up excellent food, killer lake views and tons of entertainment ever since.

It's a warm, friendly place that's perfect to visit year-round, but once the weather warms up it gets even better.

Dine on the outdoor patio when the weather is nice.

It's right next to the lake, so you'll enjoy plenty of pretty scenery.

Kick off your meal with some of the best wings you'll ever try.

Get yours with buffalo, garlic herb, lemon pepper or bbq sauce.

This place is well-known for its juicy steaks.

Try the 8 ounce sirloin or the 12 ounce ribeye - both are seasoned and grilled to perfection.

If you're not in the mood for steak, there are plenty of other tasty items on the menu.

The fettuccine Alfredo with chicken is a good choice, or try the pan seared walleye.

The Wakeside Bar & Grill offers plenty of live entertainment all summer.

From the Cinco de Mayo celebration in May all the way through Labor Day, you'll find tons of live music and parties on the patio. Follow The Wakeside Bar & Grill’s Facebook page to keep up with the latest events.

Don't miss the annual summer kick off party!

This year's kick off will be held on June 16th, starting at 9 pm. There will be plenty of live music, smoked ribs, and lawn games.

If you're staying at Mina Lake, or you live in Aberdeen or Ipswich, you can catch a FREE shuttle to and from The Wakeside Bar & Grill.

Enjoy delicious food and as much alcohol as you'd like without worrying about driving home. Visit The Wakeside Bar & Grill’s website to learn more.

Mina Lake is beautiful, but this South Dakota mountain lake is one of the world's last great places.
