Walter Payton's Roundhouse - Aurora, IL Review

Since our office is located in Aurora we often take customers to The Roundhouse for lunch or dinner appointments.  The food is great and I haven't been disappointed yet.  For those of you who may not know, the Roundhouse was purchased (for $10) and built by Walter Payton and a few friends.  This huge establishment (which is an actual Roundhouse) houses the Brewpub,  the brewery America's Brewing Company, Banquet Facilities, the Roundhouse Coffee Company, the Cognac Bar, an Open-Air Courtyard for Dining and Entertainment, a Comedy Club, America's Club for Live Bands and DJ's and the Walter Payton Museum.

The restaurant has a rustic feel to it and the service is sometimes a bit slow for my liking, but always attentive.  Great food, great ambiance and a overall fun place to enjoy a drink or two.  We have had several company meetings in their banquet rooms.

Yesterday for lunch I had the marinated & grilled steak on wild greens with wisconsin feta cheese, leeks, mandarin oranges and orange balsamic vinaigrette.  YUM!  My friend had the chilled smoked salmon pizza with arugula & dill havarti cheese.  Both dishes were very good.

If you are in the Aurora area and you are looking for a great dining experience try Payton's.  It also is a great place to grab a beer from the brewery, or head over to their comedy club and catch some up and coming talent.  Either way you won't be disappointed.
