The Walleye Grill

Here's another exciting new feature from your only full-service IRM blog: restaurant reviews!

The Walleye Grill is located about nine miles from the Museum at Sun City, Huntley, and is the only fine dining establishment of its type in the area. It overlooks the golf course, as seen here.

Service is very friendly, and all of the meals provided generous portions. Prices are in line with other restaurants of this type. Entrees run from $15 to $23, including soup or salad, potato, and vegetable. You can also order burgers in the $7 to $9 range, or pasta. We ordered the orange roughy (mildly seasoned), a dinner salad, the parmesan-encrusted walleye, and roast duck. All were excellent. There's a full bar attached to the restaurant, so cocktails are available, and the house wine was a bargain at $3. There's also a dessert tray which we didn't try. I understand there's a discount if you live in Sun City, by the way.

This obviously is not a place to go after a long hard day of work at IRM, but I would recommend it highly for a fine dining experience, such as if visitors happen to ask. Unfortunately, it's hard to explain how to get there via the back roads if you're not familiar with the area. The restaurant is inside the main Sun City center, so take the Huntley blacktop to 47, and south to the Sun City entrance and follow the signs.
