Reviews of The Duck Inn (Restaurant)

D0cta J0nes

This place is absolutely excellent. The service is professional and welcoming, the atmosphere is homey and spacious, and the food was top quality and prepared excellently. We dined for brunch and most certainly will return. The dish to be highlighted is the foie gras. Presented beautifully and and tasted even better.

Pat Diaz

We were delighted to discover that there was a large outdoor patio dining area in the back that was obscured from the street - an absolute delight to find in the city. The food was typical Chicago food prices, we needed a little explanation as to what the meals were and what the small plates were on the menu. Kudos to the chef, the food was very well prepared with a lot of thought to freshness and uniqueness on some of the dishes. Be aware that if you have hungry men, they may not be satisfied with the quantity of food, even the dinner plates.

Food is great, very creative. Service, patio and atmosphere are all top notch.

Adam Beattie

First, the hot dog was awesome. We accidentally went during restaurant week (it was extended due to weather) which made for a crowded evening but all the waits were tolerable and staff stayed friendly and low stress. Very casual bar feel. We preordered the duck and did a small tour of the menu including the tasting menu and a few extras. Everything was well executed with an eye toward a clean presentation, delicious layered flavors, very good. Highlights, pasta, was very tasty (and vegetarian when we were there). The duck was nearly perfect. If you like duck, go. If you like chicago hot dogs and can handle an upscale twist on the standard, go. Yeah, hot dog was good. We left talking about when we would have a chance to go back - a rare compliment from my picky group.

Miguel Silva

Outstanding food, great sours & pilsners on tap!

Steve Heim

Incredible cocktails and contemporary American eats at a fair price. Happy hour is half off drinks and bar snacks which is a deal. Love this place.

Meghan Mc

Really good food and interesting rotating cocktails. Try out the autumn one if they still have it; it has the smoke of burning leaves. Also there's one served in a wooden bowl that was really good. Order a duck to split ahead of time--well worth it. I wish the weather was nicer because the patio looks awesome.

Liliana Ayala

Went during restaurant week. The menu was delicious! The pappardelle pasta was a bit salty

Mark Kolasa

Tuesday night chicken dinner is amazing.

Matt Reyburn

Service was slow. Duck wings came out cold. Waited over an hour for a Patti Melt sandwich. Not super busy, but kitchen seemed backed up. Wait staff standing around and we're slow to refill water. Duck wings had good flavor. Patti Melt did not have enough carmelized onions.

C Collins

Excellent bartender. Creative cocktails. Nice eclectic atmosphere

Ann Evanston

Cool romantic location. Unique craft cocktails. Great bourbon. Wonferful service and the food...oh YES!

maryellen sanchez

Five stars! Superb food, lovely atmosphere and great service. This restaurant was highly recommended so we thought we would try it out. If it weren't for the cheese platter, I would've given it 2 stars. Good job guys.

Nima Shams

Great service, good parking options, great drinks and food! The ambience works well for either cocktails and drinks or a meal! A nice outside dining area too!

The Elvis French toast is good. Apparently the French toast rotates because I've seen horchata French toast as well as Nutella French toast on different sites but they had the Elvis kind when I visited. It came in 3 rectangular pieces. I was quite underwhelmed by the duck fat potatoes. My friend and I waited for the rest of our party and felt like we were in the way at the bar although there were several empty seats. Waited about 20-25 minutes to be seated (Sunday brunch, party of 11) - not too bad. Customer service is good. Initially, I felt their constant presence at our table. After the food came, however, they let us be. I personally prefer that as we hadn't seen each in a while and it felt like we were constantly being interrupted. (Yes. I know I'm in the minority for feeling this way.) I'd go back to try other dishes if I'm in the neighborhood.

Mark Witt

Great food and cool atmosphere

Matt Heller

Went here with friends and walked from Pilsen. Duck wings were awesome, we shared multiple plates and liked everything except for the soft shell crab appetizer. Great atmosphere in the back garden and service was excellent.

Mona Alshorah

Every item we ordered was exceptional! The portions felt just right and the drinks were not skimpy. The atmosphere has a cool eclectic vibe and we’re looking forward to our next visit.

Matt Gallagher

Food was incredible, make sure you try the curds and the swordfish. Cocktails were great and service was helpful in making recommendations. Amazing experience with a homey ambiance and cozy outdoor seating. Would highly recommend and look forward to going back!

Randall Moderhack

Elevated food in an unpretentious corner pub setting

Alex Misakian

Duck Inn is a special spot with some incredible food and drinks. The restaurant is an unassuming small building on the corner of a small street but the experience inside is nothing short of spectacular. Everything we had starting with the appetizers and ending with desert was incredible and unique. The duck wings were exceptional and the rotisserie duck was phenomenal. Duck Inn really earned it's name. However the steak, octopus and tuna were just as impressive. The cocktails served were tastey, well crafted, and unique, including a whiskey drink served in a smoke filled glass and even a warm bone broth based whiskey drink. The prices were more than fair for the quality of food and drinks. Our waiter Jay was also attentive, friendly, and knew the menu well. Without a doubt one of the best meals I've had in Chicago. Check it out and you will not be disappointed.

Amy

Absolutely LOVED. Quaint, wonderfully dark ambiance, and an incredible happy hour (50% delicious cocktails and full size entrees mislabeled as "bar snacks"). New favorite space

Alan Mallory

Kinky appealing menu, uneven delivery - some wow food and service, some not. Mind numbing noise level makes focus on either a challenge.

Gibson Hudson

The food is constantly well prepared and delightful, cashiers provides great service. I like the cleanliness and character. Will come visit again.

Michael Wilkes

Had a great time here. A great mix of people from Bridgeport locals to political movers and shakers. We and the duck sausage, and the rotisserie duck. Both were very delicious, which is surprising to me as I normally don't like duck. Can't wait to go back.

Grayson VanderLinde

Been hearing great things about this Bridgeport gem so we finally stopped by and we're not disappointed. The food was fantastic, the outdoor seating was perfect, the staff was attentive and knowledgeable.

Allison Jones

My boyfriend and I went were in on a rainy Saturday night and were able to sit at the bar or table, if we chose to. We were only there for drinks, this time, so we sat at the bar. I had an amazing Gin cocktail off their list of special cocktails and my boyfriend got an old fashioned. Both drinks were made perfectly, the flavor and concepts behind their drinks is delicious. We've been here for dinner before. Although a little pricey the food is always spectacular and the staff is very catering and friendly. The lights and decor are very cool, as well.

Daniel Reynoso

I have driven by the place many times, decided to stop in and have a look. The patio is beautiful, and roomy. The weather was nice this day, and the surrounding trees provide plenty of shade. The drinks were odd, but they tasted very good, my date had a comb in her drink and mine had a design. The names escape me, but having tried both they had a good taste and were well made. I had ordered the duck hot dog, came like a traditional chicago hot dog, and the frank did have a different flavor, it was duck. I also ordered the oven roasted brussel sprouts, they had a nice crunchy taste, but the white sauce they used was too tangy. The ones that were at the bottom of the bowl were covered in this sauce and it was overpowering for me at least. Overall really nice place, a bit pricey but great for a date night.

Tuan Nguyen

Great hidden gem in Bridgeport

Michael Dunton

Very cool restaurant. Staff is friendly. The back patio is very shaded.

Matt Quinn

Just the best. Mark was awesome and we stayed for a long time. Great bar

Tony Ning

First time here . Good service , duck breast not the best

Dan Barron

Amazing food!!!! Great beer and mix drink selections. Excellent ambiance for a date or business meeting. Definitely coming back...often!

Scot Yonan

Good food. Very loud, difficult to converse. Excellent cocktails.

Crystal Vazquez

Food was delicious! Highly recommend to bring a date here. Spacious patio and chill ambience inside the dining room and bar. Definitely recommend their Battanga cocktail and hangar steak.

Charlotte Olson

This place is fantastic!

Fernanda Nunes Ramalho

Do yourself a favor and ORDER THE DUCK. Note that you do need to reserve your duck in advance, so make sure you call, make a reservation and say you want the Roasted duck. It serves 2 people - easily and it's DELICIOUS. Crispy skin, perfectly cooked, juicy, yum! :-) One of my friends had the octopus and it was a bit overcooked and chewy. Service was alright, a bit slow, but nothing major. We were a bit unlucky that the air conditioner was not working when we went, and it was 95 degrees outside. I'm sure they have that fixed already. I'd definitely go back and recommend. Remember: DUCK!

Colette Sayre

Enjoyed the meal. Some very tasty dishes. Large portions. Bar atmosphere.

Ramil Mendoza

The signature rotisserie duck is great. Skin was crispy and the meat is moist and tender. So much interesting food options on the menu. Cocktails are great and pairs well with the food.

Antoinette Ashmore

Love this restaurant off the beaten path. We sat outside on a nice summer night which was amazing! We ordered the fried cheese curds and the ducks wings as apps. We ordered the duck fat dog and the Pastrami main course. Everything we tried was amazing and we had the best waitress! We will definitely be coming back!

Michael Carey

This place is amazing! Excellent food, ambiance, and cocktails. The staff is very attentive. I had high expectations coming in...but they went above and beyond! I mean they are legit.

Chloe Neims

Beautiful outdoor patio and excellent cocktails. The duck and brussel sprouts were amazing! The service was also friendly and attentive without being over the top. We had a thoroughly enjoyable and relaxing evening at the Duck Inn!

Maren Celest

The Miso Butterscotch dessert is where it's AT. Quite possibly the best dessert I've had. Gnocchi and salad was good too! Been eating vegetarian more and more, but I'm going to go back and try the duck on a special occasion. Outdoor seating is amazing, multi level garden area, lots of nice plants. I felt like the dishes are amazing about half the time so far (been twice) which is worth noting at their price point. But I'm gonna keep going, and check out their events (like BYO Vinyl nights). I'd also love to add that it feels very LGBTQI friendly, especially for Bridgeport, which is a HUGE plus and pushes them back up to 5 stars.

Marijana Dosen

Very unique and super tasty

John West

Great food great drinks great service Orders the fall of the bone duck wings as well as the octo. Duck was well braised and seasoned properly and was visually appealing. As well the octo was perfectly cooked and seasoned just right with the slight bitterness of the char the complemented the ink aioli with the lemon. Very well versed chefs playing on bitters, acids, richness, and clean plating. Well rounded and just a sexy restaurant.

Alex

Really good. Pretty fair pricing. Fun drinks. Would recommend

mrbigcity69

Off the corner of Eleanor and Loomis st is one of the best duck restaurants in Chicago. I went the night before my birthday and I was not disappointed. The service was great although there was three or four people checking on us and asking if someone had got to us. The setting is elegant and inviting and the you can tell you’ve come to the right place once waking into the dining room. Now to the food and drinks lol..... Me and my date had a couple drinks. Mine being an Old Fashioned which was amazing and she had a tequila drink which was heavy on the tequila that I’m sure no one has a problem with. Next we ordered the Chefs tasting menu. It was pretty good I shall say. I’ve been to some phenomenal places and the only downfall I would say is that it doesn’t have enough meat throughout the menu. Don’t get me wrong, the dishes were great but i expected to have more substance to the food. They were very light dishes. But overall a great place to check out and try their duck. One of the best prepared ducks I have had and I will be going back for more. Great job and great location! (If dining in remember to preorder duck to make sure they have one when you arrive)

Robert Samaniego

Joined for dinner on a quiet Sunday night. Shared a variety of appetizers, drinks, and the signature roast duck. Everything hit above the mark except for the duck, which I felt was under seasoned. Would come back and give another try, though!

Lauren North

The Duck Inn's pop-up in Revival Food Hall gave me a free cupcake sundae for my birthday. This lovely establishment has my loyalty for life - both because of their kindness and because it was goshdarn delicious!

Eric Munn

Amazing cocktails. Some of the most creative in both flavor and presentation I've ever seen. The food is also all very good. I'll say the starters impressed me more than the entree. We ordered the duck and I felt it was cold and chewier than I would've liked. If you're not from the area, it is a decent trek to get down there as well. Sit outside if the weather is nice, as the patio is fantastic.

Danielle Evans

This place was positively amazing in every way. Couldn’t have asked for a friendlier staff or tastier meal. Try the duck dumplings!

Jordan L

Was looking for a nice outdoor patio and stumbled across the Duck Inn. What great luck! The staff were awesome - they were incredibly friendly, answered questions and had tons of suggestions for my buddy and I. We enjoyed four different dishes with my favorite being the duck wings. After that we hung out in the bar and the bartenders were awesome. After transforming from the total dive bar I remember, the duck inn is a great upgrade!

Dalt Brewsher

Came late mid week, had no trouble getting a table. Even though they say their rotisserie duck needs preordering they had one for us and server said it really wasnt necessary to preorder though if they were very busy it could potentially be a problem. Duck was very good though a little pricey. The brussel sprouts, octopus was excellent. The scallop, pork belly was a great combination though it was literally the single scallop. Im not a big drinker but their cocktails were very good also. No trouble parking on the street late evening but might be an issue earlier or day time. Well worth trying.

Victor Fernando Gazzani Repetto

Drink after work Nice place

Eric Fu

Love this place. The neighborhood doesn’t look too good, but this place worth the trip. The order of duck looks huge and we almost cannot finish it. It is good to hangout with group of friends. The price is also very reasonable. Oh, the burger! Yes, you should definitely order that no matter what! OK, theoretical you should call it sandwich. Highly recommended!

Daniel Law

The food is good but not really great. Not for the prices. $65 for rotisserie duck? You can get an entire Peking duck for $40 at Sun Wah. Brunch is actually pretty great. Delicious! 4 stars because the server we had was awesome. Incredible attention to detail.

Blake Young

As advertised, they have duck, but you can't spend the night. Or, shouldn't spend the night. Service is great too. They will politely let you know to not spend the night here.

Louis Ham

Everything was delicious. I'm not one for spicy food but we had the Spanish octopus and it had a jalapeno sauce that was very flavorful and not too spicy

Barb Lawler

The food is really good, desserts are superb. They have a wonderful outdoor seating environment which we took advantage of since it was a beautiful day. Staff was excellent - I have nothing bad to say and would recommend this place to anyone wanting to have a special meal in a relaxed environment. Go, you won't regret it. We ordered the rotisserie duck - reserved ahead - and it was perfectly delicious!

Anitha Nair

We tried their tasting menu for Chicago Restaurant Week- delicious! Each course was well executed, and the wine pairing was solid. The ambiance is nice, dimly lit, just what's needed to see your food and the interior decor. Their cocktails are fantastic, unique and well crafted. We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner!

Eric Duncan

One of our favorite restaurants. We tried the tasting menu today and it was worth every penny. Each course was better than the last and even though you arent getting huge portions we both left very full. If you arent feeling adventurous enough for the tasting menu then the rotisserie duck is absolutely the way to go but make sure you reserve one ahead of time. They always have new cocktails to try and those can get a little funky but definitely worth a try as well.

Josh Ellis

Great vibe, especially outside on the patio.

Jupiter d3v

The duck fat dog is pretty good but the pepper definitely overlap the flavor of the dog.

K Mc

Nice aesthetic but food was pricey and teeny-tiny. Four of us went for dinner. We all got "entrees" & started out with the cheese curds. They were fine. If you've eaten fried cheese curds anywhere in Wisconsin that isn't a fast food chain, then they won't knock your socks off. Our table ordered the lamb saddle, pork and scallops, a pasta dish & a short rib. The portions were miniscule. The shorts ribs had two pieces of sliced off of the bone, a miniture turnip (I'm talking the size of quarter) and a bloop of parsnip puree. The puree, for whatever reason, tasted incredibly foul. I like parsnips and I'm not a picky eater. I'm not sure how the chef let that slip by. The rest of the entree was fine but not $31 bucks worth of fine. My husband liked his pork and scallops. My friends didn't dislike their entrees. Service was okay. He took unfinished food/drinks without asking. He was nice enough, though. Dining room was crazy loud. If we're in the hood, we'd maybe stop in for drinks and a snack but don't need to go for dinner anytime soon.

steven hirmer

The best foie gras around. I could just eat that

Scott Worsham

This is the kind of place you wished you lived next door to.

Theresa Rothschadl

This is a review of Duck Inn's bar, not their food service, which I am less familiar with. I love this place. In my experience, it balances out it high-falutin' (and glorious) cocktails with a good neighborhood feel. The bartenders recognize us and dispense advice about home mixology, even as they engage in theatrics like burning autumn leaves in the cocktail glass to give the drink a smoky smell. Probably my favorite bar ever--I feel incredibly lucky to have it in my neighborhood.

c2sealy

I am very pleased with the meal and cocktail because both were splendid.

Thomas Hawrysz

Great, provided you're not a foodie a-hole, the staff is pro

Nataly

Found at the edge of the Bridgeport neighborhood, this quirky, divey restaurant has some delicious bar snacks. They open for dinner at 5pm, so if you arrive on the earlier side, like I did, you will only have access to an abridged menu - but it encapsulated everything I was looking for on a sleepy Sunday afternoon. The fried cheese curds, with a creative bloody mary ketchup-based sauce were delicious and they do the Chicago dog justice, but the hamburger sandwich was the most memorable. With juicy and flavorful beef patties its construct is more reminiscent of a classic reuben than a traditional burger. The lighting is intimate bordering on twilight - definitely a notable neighborhood spot.

Marciana Gray

Everything there is very lovely , first time going I really enjoyed myself.

Cheryl Jarosz

Excellent duck!!!! Great atmosphere. Staff were very nice. Nice night to sit outside on patio and enjoy great food

Casey Levine

I'm not usually a big fan of duck but they do it right. Honestly the rest of the menu sounds good but we can't pass up the rotisserie duck. Perfect for two to split. Cocktails are also delicious every time.

Vanessa Crews

Great atmosphere, fabulous brussel sprout are off the chain, meaning even if you don't usually eat them, you'll love these. They never disappoint.

Tristan L

Excellent, here as part of a private party.

Mz. Kitty

play place locally for beers with your buddies

Ariel Wang

A stellar experience! The 2019 restaurant week menu was sooooo good! We had the pig head candy bar, the beef tartare, pork belly and scallop and the beignets! And the duck inn dog! Definitely going back again!

Mark Walter

I LOVE DUCK! The Duck Inn makes really good duck. Thanks!

candace cobb

We had a table of 9 and had reserved the rotisserie duck plus sampled many other dishes. Everything was fabulous. The kids had great meals, a vegetarian was fully satisfied with the brussel sprouts (so amazing) and the curry cauliflower. The specialty drinks were indeed very special. Would highly recommend this restaurant. Love the retro vibe also. Well done Chef.

Tracey Ladner

Delicious food. There's more than duck on the menu. Nice selection of drinks. Limited dessert menu.

Sebastian Krupa

Amazing food, beautiful ambience and very friendly service.

Arun Das

One of my favorite places in the city. A+ cocktails and their brunch and dinner are so tasty. I haven't had anything there I didn't like!

Sandra May Li

The salmon is to die to for! Restaurant is located at Bridgeport and it is a hidden gem! They have some great seasonal menu items!

Samuel Waggoner

We were delighted to discover that there was a large outdoor patio dining area in the back that was obscured from the street - an absolute delight to find in the city. The food was typical Chicago food prices, we needed a little explanation as to what the meals were and what the small plates were on the menu. Kudos to the chef, the food was very well prepared with a lot of thought to freshness and uniqueness on some of the dishes. Be aware that if you have hungry men, they may not be satisfied with the quantity of food, even the dinner plates.

Ethan Wade

A must visit every time I’m in Chicago! You’ve got to try the tasting menu, it’s incredible food and well worth the price. The Duck Inn staff are great and ensure that the experience is great from start to finish. Make sure you stop by for a visit!

Parker L

A real Chicago gem. Doesn't look like much more than a neighborhood bar from the outside but that's what makes this place so cool. Incredibly flavorful and creative dishes in a warm, humble atmosphere that is a breath of fresh air compared to many Chicago spots.

Scott Chaplinski

I got duck at a fancy wedding downtown last year and the duck at the Duck Inn was way better. We got the Rotisserie Duck Hash and a Duck Fat Dog and they were both awesome. I went back a week later with a friend for another duck dog.

michele lee

Wheelchair accessible - they have a step in front and a ramp is brought out upon request. Need to call ahead to let them know. They have single stall bathrooms that accommodate the wheelchair. Space is cozy but also cramped. The restaurant is an unexpected oasis for the area. The food was trying and some dishes were a hit others complete miss. The duck wings as appetizer were a standout.

Steven Ingram

Great atmosphere and food!

K. Eaton

Good food, but some of the "small plates" are pricey.

Mark Fister

Excellent cocktails. Above average food. Excellent service. Location somewhat out of the way

Chicago Rex

Great brunch spot with a large outdoor back patio.

Aaron Carr

The food was great. Drinks were decent although our server was slightly scattered that day and forgot a drink three times in a row...other than that very reasonably priced and atmosphere is great. Below is from the brunch menu, the hot chicken biscuit.

Wang Houze

We had the signature duck (in the photo) and the burrata as appetizer. Both dish were delicious. For the duck, I prefer the duck breast, which is really tender and moderately juicy. The salad that comes with the duck was also really good and goes perfectly with the meat, which is quite fatty. The Burrata is also a really interesting appetizer. Overall great experience, would come again. This place definitely deserves the 4.5 rating it has right now.

Joseph Brown

Contemporary style gastropub, we made reservations for 830pm, waited for a table till after 9pm at the bar, limited seating and bar service was slow. Drinks were pricey, but flavorful. Seated for dinner in a very loud and cramped dinning room, limited menu selection and again over priced. We had several entries, pork belly and scallops, swordfish, and duck fat hot dog, delightful presentation, pork belly was slightly on the dry side but scallops were perfect and had wonderful flavor. Swordfish and clams were delicious! Looked at the desert menu and again appeared to be over priced, didn't order. Our waitress was attentive, welcoming and knowledgeable.

Luke Johnson

Great Restaurant. Nice clean place with fantastic selection of food, inventive cocktails, good music and ambiance and a very chill yet delicious surroundings.

Carrie Czubala

Good drinks, but super ridiculously small entrees. Overpriced for what you get.

Kelli Vandegrift

This place was amazing for brunch. Try everything. Die happy.

John Shostack

Like Duck, and great cocktails?What are you waiting for?

Sean Sahli

Everything was delicious. I'm not one for spicy food but we had the Spanish octopus and it had a jalapeno sauce that was very flavorful and not too spicy. The duck dog and steak were both fantastic as well. Our cocktails were well balanced and unique.

Larisa Kova

Minimal ang tasty food, Minimal place and very elegant

Caroline Parks

Delightful! They even have a vegan sausage... is it vegan after being grilled on the same grill as everything else? Don't care, throw some grilled onions on it and eat it anyways!

Krissy Schwab

Food here is so good. We love the cheese curds with bloody Mary ketchup and we also had a super good brussel sprout dish. The best though, the whole roast duck dinner. Spring for that and you won't be disappointed.

JONATHAN HARO

Came here for Mother's Day brunch. My wife loved it and I did as well. Look forward to coming back for regular dining.

Sara Sustersic

Based on the reviews, my boyfriend and I were super excited to dine here. Unfortunately, our experience was very lackluster. The service was terrific, we had a really great server. And the cocktails were tasty. However, things ended there. The back dining room was so crowded and loud, we could barely hear each other. We sat at a table next to the patio door and were quite chilled from a draft. The food (we got the vension and salmon, both very overpriced, in my opinion) was served cold, lacked any flavor, and very small portions (like appetizer sized). Due to how busy it was and the long wait for the food, we didn't say anything and instead opted to just eat, pay, and leave. With rumbling stomachs and ringing ears, we headed to Marz afterwards and had some beers and split a sandwich. The night still ended well!

Phil Griffin

Wow. The Duck Inn was fantastic. Outdoor space is great. Truly excellent food.

John Conrad

ALWAYS DELICIOUS! ALWAYS GROOVY!

joseph guerrero

What a great place. Cool decor, well kept-up, EXCELLENT service, very good cocktails, great beer, fantastic food. Happy hour is short, 5:00-6:00 I think, but it's half-off a lot of great bar food items. There's a discount on drinks during happy hour too. Awesome patio.

Dan Owens

Perfectly prepared delicious duck! A wonderful dining experience!

Brad Stolberg

This tucked away gem of a restaurant has spectacular food that can complete with the best of the best in Chicago. I frequently take advantage of their daily happy hour (half off all drinks and the bar food menu from 5-6), I have found it to be the best happy hour value in the city. My only complaints are the main food menu does not have a large variety and the vodka options are too few. While the culinary level they achieve is very high, I would really like to see the bar spirit selection expand and potentially a few more appetizers, salads and main courses.

Russ

Tbh, it was kind of a bummer. Octopus was way over salted and possibly slightly undercooked, yet inventive. House salad was good but overdressed and very salted. Oysters were not the freshest. The ceviche was very good and was the best dish we had. Gnocchi was cold, too sugary and way too salted. Overall completely underwhelmed and way overpriced. Much better options in this price range.

steven zambrzycki

Excellent food, knowledgeable staff... great date spot

erika rodriguez

Absolutely love this place. Adam for the win.

Maureen Rzasa

Delicious duck. A little to pricey for me.

Charlie Daehler

Fine dining in a dive bar atmosphere

Joshua Brick

Great evening @ The Duck Inn. Great food @ reaso able prices!

Oscar de Anda

I REALLY ENJOYED THIS PLACE AND I ENJOYED THE FOOD I RECOMMEND

Stefanie Fournier

Amazing little restaurant in a cute working class neighborhood. Perfectly executed small plates, friendly staff. I recommend going on a nice afternoon and sitting in the cozy courtyard. Wide beer and classic cocktail menu. I would take off half a star for the crab cakes benedict--the poached eggs were gorgeous fluffy little clouds with a golden, jammy interior, the greens were tender but not mushy with loads of smoky salt pork, but the crab cakes, alas, were redolent of can...as in Fancy Feast. But don't let that put you off the rest of the menu. The rotisserie duck hash was perfection, with a crackling-good duck leg, and potato and veg medley roasted crisp in unctuous duck fat--topped with glistening ribbons of lightly scrambled egg. Do try the Chicago dog. Yes, it's a $10 hot dog, and no, they don't put bourbon in it or anything. But it's the best hot dog I've ever eaten. The bun is crusty and fresh like good Vienna bread loaded with the requisite poppy seeds. The bespoke sausage is substantial, I'd say 4 oz, with a great snap and fabulously juicy, tender meat laced with duck fat. The genius bit, however, is the garnish. Instead of half a dozen rough cut toppings sliding this way and that, we get a piquant housemade chutney that incorporates all the right elements--chopped pickle, onion and fresh tomato, crushed mustard seeds, and a smattering of celery salt. Just that and a couple long slices of spicy quick-pickled jalapeno. I'm coming back, and I'm bringing a bigger appetite!

Robert Burger

Cozy atmosphere with a focused well seasoned menu and we'll thought put drink menu.

Jennifer Bush

Lamb ribs. Amazing. Sweetbreads. Delicious. Ambience. Modern but cozy. Cocktails. A dream.

megan swanson

Cute looking place.

Anthony Cervone

The food and service say it all. #workingclassfinedining

Adam Hardy

Excellent food and great cocktails. Reserve the full roast duck ahead of time. It's well worth it.

Eleanor Lombardi

The Duck Inn is a magical place filled with magical people who create and serve magical food and beverage.

Sean McEntee

Impressive neighborhood spot. Escargot preparation is one of the best I've had. Lamb ribs were a little tough.

Mitch Larva

Fantastic establishment for those looking for something different that the usual.

Lorenzo Chapa

Been coming here since day one. What a great place. Creative, charming, and sexy. Wonderful cocktails.

Beth Heller

Loved this place. Duck wings great, Chicago duck fat dog AMAZING, sell crab sandwich not so much. Great, snuggly atmosphere in lush patio garden.

John M. Sier

Fascinating food choices - the burrata is excellent, and the service is attentive.

Candace Senese

Such a fun spot! Amazing food, atmosphere and service. Was there for a private party and everyone was amazing!

mackenzie w

Best food and drinks around.

Emily Nydam

Fine dining food and cocktails in a laid back environment.

Nick Cardoza

The food is good but not great. Service is ok. Drink menu is really good. Atmosphere is nice especially the well needed outdoor area in Bridgeport

Mark Menke

Absolutly a great restaurant. If you are anywhere in Chicago make the journey to what is 5 star. Seriously... and ask for Kodi as your waitress.

Chris Tso

Everything was perfect. Service was friendly and very attentive. Food was top notch. Salad included some sardines (I think) which added a nice element. Tartar had a more course of a chop but made for an unusual and fun texture. Flavors were subtle and on point. Mushroom pasta was thick and refreshing at the same time. Pork belly and scallop was cooked perfectly with an excellent sauce to bring them both together. Desserts were both good too. Black sesame semifreddi introduced me to a whole new flavor profile. Excellent establishment.

Not Andrew

Amazing. The best total experience I've had in Chicago so far. Food is cooked to absolute perfection, assuming you like duck! Extra crispy sweet skin with fall off the bone meat, and each side dish or addition felt like it received the same attention. The icing on the cake is their cocktail list, for me it's unmatched in Chicago. I've been to The Violet Hour, The Aviary, 3 Dots et al, and I will say their selection is at least equal, if not better than all. This place should be on everyone's list.

Albert Delgado

Duck Inn offers stellar brunch offerings. The roasted duck hash is comfort food at it's best. The duck is tasty and the fluffy light eggs on top are full of flavor. They have their own take on chilaquiles which pops with flavor. Service is great.

cj ussov

Good salad Is here

Colin Hayes

Simply awesome food! You can get in for a low price-point if you want, or you can go all out and spend $100/person, and it's going to be delicious either way.

Cheryl Berger

Best duck you will ever have. Great service. Way too noisy.

Tom Piette

Had a great dinner with friends. Outside seating in good weather. I ordered the duck ahead of time and it was very good.

The Duck was amazing. Went there with friends and was told to try the negroni. It was mind blowingly good! Happy hour from 5-6 made everything half price! Can't wait to return. Look for me on the patio!

Went here for the valentines day dinner specIal. We were welcomed by a warm decor with interesting paintings in the interior. We were greeted immediately by our host and explained the drinks and entrees. All of the drinks and dishes were interesting and well worth the money. The roast duck is their specialty and I'd recommend trying it there. I've read from various blogs that The Duck Inn is also known for their brunches. Would definitely have to try!
