Food That Fuels Lake-Country Appetites
Menu in Annandale for satisfying meals before and after outdoor activities in central Minnesota lake country
Squirrely's Dive Bar and Grill serves a full bar-and-grill food menu built for the kind of appetite you work up ice fishing, cabin-hopping, or spending all day on the water. This is food meant to fill you up after a long morning on the lake or before heading out to the snowmobile trails. The kitchen runs out of a real working space in downtown Annandale, not a microwave behind the bar, and that makes a difference you can taste.
Central Minnesota winters are long, summers are busy, and the seasons in between keep locals moving between cabins, trails, and town. That kind of pace requires more than bar snacks. The menu covers hearty, filling meals that match the lifestyle of lake-country residents who need fuel, not just filler.
Stop by for a meal worth sitting down for, whether you're coming from Maple Lake, Buffalo, or Clearwater.

Most small-town kitchens close early, which leaves few options when you finish an evening on the water or come off the trails after dark. Squirrely's keeps the kitchen running until 9 PM on weeknights and 10 PM on Friday and Saturday, maintaining a reliable place to eat in the Annandale area.
When the kitchen closes, you notice the difference between a full menu and reheated appetizers. You get food made to order in a working kitchen, with enough variety to handle whatever you're hungry for after a day outside. The portions match the effort it took to get here, and the menu prides itself on being straightforward and delicious.
House-made and signature dishes set this menu apart from generic bar food, though specific offerings vary based on what the kitchen is running that week. The focus stays consistent: food that actually satisfies, served in a place that feels like your neighborhood spot even if you drove in from a surrounding town.
What Locals Ask About the Menu
People coming to Squirrely's for the first time often want to know what separates this kitchen from the usual bar menu, and whether it's worth the drive from surrounding lake towns. Here's what comes up most often.
What kind of food does the menu include?
You'll find full bar-and-grill fare designed for hearty appetites, covering everything from burgers and sandwiches to entrees that require a real kitchen to prepare properly.
How late can I order food at Squirrely's in Annandale?
The kitchen stays open until 9 PM Sunday through Thursday and until 10 PM on Friday and Saturday, which gives you some late night flexibility in central Minnesota.
What makes this different from typical bar snacks?
The food comes out of a working kitchen at 35 Oak Avenue South in downtown Annandale, not a warming tray, which means you're getting meals cooked to order with real prep work behind them.
How much does a typical meal cost?
Pricing reflects the portion size and the fact that you're getting a sit-down meal, not just appetizers, though specific costs depend on what you order from the menu that day. Check out our menu options above!
Why do people drive from Buffalo or Clearwater for food here?
The combination of a full menu, late kitchen hours, and a genuine dive-bar atmosphere makes this a dining destination, not just a place to grab a drink.
Squirrely's Dive Bar and Grill operates as a full dining option in downtown Annandale, not just a bar with food as an afterthought. Pull up a seat and order something that'll stick with you!
