“ Jim was my server - great guy! Great food as well. I don’t recall the name of my cook but she was very kind and welcoming ... ”
“ Five is a pretty strong rating so it's based on price and expectations. But their pan fried walleye and their steak sandwich are excellent. Ruben is really good, a good 4 of 5. ”
“ Stopped here for a meal and everything was wonderful. Weekend pork chops were HUGE. We'll definitely be back. ”
“ Excellent fish fry with walleye and perch. For those who want something more healthy, they have broiled salmon. Portions are huge so you will not go hungry. They also have an excellent list of micro beers on tap. The place is well decorated inside and they have a nice outside patio looking at Crooked Lake. The place is not big so you will probably have to wait awhile on Friday and Saturday nights for your food. ”
“ There’s nothing blind about The Blind Walleye. Perched on the edge of Bass Lake, it’s the perfect spot—scenic, relaxed, and just far enough off the beaten path to feel like a hidden gem. It’s also dog-friendly, as long as your pup is leashed and well-behaved. The covered patio makes it a great stop for everyone. Now let’s talk food. After recently having one of the best steak sandwiches of my life, I had to see how The Blind Walleye stacked up. I wasn’t disappointed. Adding onions, mushrooms, and cheese took their steak sandwich to a whole new level—absolute perfection. The tater tots? Crispy, golden, and salted just right. No condiments needed (unless you insist). And the cheese curds—both white and yellow—are mouthwatering enough to dream about. If you’re looking for a cozy little nook with great food and a great view, this is the one. ”
