Restaurants near Mille Lacs National Wildlife Refuge

Always love visiting this restaurant when we come to town. Great food and lovely staff.

Jess is always a great server. The food was excellent for all four of us. A great place for a nice dinner.

I know that the CHAR focuses on steaks but the Walleye dinner was absolutely fabulous. We chose Blackened which had a little heat to it. We have had a lot of Walleye dinners but this took the cake, best Walleye diner ever. Not just the Walleye but the entire plate(Wild Rice and corn soufflé). You have never had a corn soufflé like this before, we were speechless. The waiter was fantastic and told us the recipe is from 1930’s.

We took our son, his wife and 4 grandchildren ages 2 to 14 to dinner. We were seated right away and greeted quickly. The service was reasonably fast. Our server was friendly and accurate. They had a good selection for the children and adults. I had the walleye and it was delicious.

Loved the igloo idea but after an hour I was freezing! It was super cold out but maybe turning the heater on earlier would have helped? Eric was awesome and very attentive. My only complaint is the ketchup bottle in my igloo was empty and eating a burger and fries without it was kind of a bummer. I was also hoping for a discount on the igloo since I only made it an hour in -25 degree temps, but alas, that didn’t happen. I do understand though that I was taking a chance sitting in there on a very frigid day. All in all it was a unique experience
