Axel's River Grille is the first of three Axel restaurants opened by Linda Young and Charlie Burroughs who had the idea of hosting customers in traditional Midwest casual steakhouse supper club. The restaurant has a classic feel to it, but with a modern twist. The servers are friendly and knowledgeable, and the atmosphere is relaxed, yet refined. The menu includes their trademark Bull Bites, Land and Lake, Axels Walleye, and New York Strip. Drinks-wise, they have cocktails, beer, and wine.
