Treat Dad to a Father’s Day Feast

Looking to treat the #1 man (or men!) in your life to a delicious meal to celebrate Father’s Day? We’ve put together a list of the best restaurants in the Leech Lake area that are a perfect choice for a Father’s Day feast.

The Boulders Restaurant

Featuring dishes ranging from 12 ounce Gorgonzola Ribeye Steaks to Sesame and Coriander-crusted Ahi Tuna, The Boulders Restaurant in Walker, Minnesota offers luxurious fine dining in a casual Northwoods atmosphere. Their menu is a seafood fanatic’s dream — whether you’re in the mood for grouper, tuna, prawns, or a good ol’ walleye, you’ll find the perfect dish!

The Boulders also features outdoor patio seating if you’d like to enjoy your meal in the beauty and sunshine of the Northern Minnesotan summer!

The Boulders Restaurant is located at 8363 Lakeland Trail NW in Walker and can be reached at 218-547-1006. Visit their website for more information and to view their full menu. Note that The Boulder is only open Wednesday through Saturday, so plan your Father’s Day weekend accordingly!

The Piggy BBQ

If you’re looking for the best, freshest barbecue in the Leech Lake area, look no further than The Piggy BBQ! The folks at the Piggy don’t mess around when it comes to providing the most delicious ribs, pork, and brisket they possibly can. Their meat is smoked fresh daily, and once that day’s meat is gone…it’s gone. So when you dine at The Piggy BBQ, you know you’re getting a meal that was smoked that day and not reheated in a microwave.

Please note that because the Piggy smokes a limited amount of delicious meats each day, it’s important to reserve your spot as early as possible to ensure you don’t miss out! Take-out is available as well, but calling for take-out 24 hours in advance is recommended. Note that the Piggy BBQ is only open Wednesday through Saturday.

Check out their website to view their menu, visit them at 607 Minnesota Ave, or give them a call at 218-547-OINK (-6465)! 

Cafe Zona Rosa

Looking for something with a little more spice? Enjoy some tantalizing entrees from south of the border at Cafe Zona Rosa! You’ll start off with a free basket of home-made tortilla chips and fresh salsa. Then comes the hard part — deciding what to order from Cafe Zona Rosa’s extensive menu! It’s hard to pass up the Award Winning Sizzling Fajitas, which took home WCCO’s 2017 “Best of MN” Viewer’s Choice Award. Choose from chicken, steak, or shrimp — or any combination of the three! But there’s also the Tampico, a delicious seafood enchilada, and you can never go wrong with a Stuffed Burrito.

Whatever you decide, make sure you leave some room for Cafe Zona Rosa’s delicious Fried Ice Cream!

Stop by the Cafe Zona Rosa website for more information and to view their full menu, stop by the restaurant at 101 5th St N in Walker, or give them a call at 218-547-3558!
