A Midweek Musical Reset
Wednesday nights at Lake Okoboji move a little slower. The weekend rush has passed, the crowds are lighter, and the view across the water feels wider somehow. It’s the perfect time for a performance like Christopher John’s.
His music doesn’t overwhelm the evening. It blends into the space, creating a rhythm that makes conversation easier and moments more meaningful. Some guests will sing along. Others will sit back and let the music carry them for a while. It’s the kind of show that gives everyone room to enjoy it in their own way.
Midweek Bites and Sips That Hit the Spot
Dinner during the show is more than just a meal. It’s part of the experience. At Mullets, the menu pairs naturally with evenings like this one.
- Appetizers to Share – Cheese curds, loaded nachos, and crispy pickle chips make easy starters while the music begins.
- Hearty Entrées – The Barnyard burger comes stacked with bacon and a fried egg. The Gringo brings a punch of flavor with southwest seasoning.
- Local Favorites – Order the chislic, a regional favorite, or go with BBQ burnt ends if you’re looking for something smoky and satisfying.
- Fresh Salads and Wraps – The Berry Salad is crisp and seasonal. The Strawberry Turkey Gouda wrap is a summer classic.
- Signature Drinks – Sip a Sunset Margarita or a Fresh Mint Mojito while the sun dips behind the trees. There’s also a full mule menu and house cocktails available all evening.
These dishes and drinks add flavor to the music and make it easy to stay awhile.
