Dianna behind the bar is really amazing with customer service. If i died tomorrow i would want to come back to life one more time just to get chicken fingers from Dianna

Super cute ambiance, food was amazing, and want to give a shout out to our fantastic server, Jon! He made the experience even better, was attentive, and just all around fabulous.
10 Stars for The Duck Inn and the amazing chicken fingers!
10 Stars for The Duck Inn and the amazing chicken fingers! They were the most tender chicken fingers I've ever had! Literally melt in your mouth good! And the fries with cheese sauce? TO DIE FOR! And the service was top tier! I felt like I was a
Had their duck fat hot dogs.
Good taste and chew. Loved the relish, but not the brioche bun - it was a little too dry and flakey for me - took away from the good dog and relish. Fries were terrific!

Everything was awesome! The chicken strips were cooked amazingly, and the cheese fries were amazing! The staff were also very very kind and helpful!
An old fashioned greasy spoon! Food it good, nothing
An old fashioned greasy spoon! Food it good, nothing spectacular, but dependable, filling and generous. Service is always friendly and clientele is local and colorful. Have eaten here many times and it always hits the spot!

Amazing customer service especially from Diana!! I can say the go to on the menu is the precision cooked chicken strips. Not too chewy or over done. Just right!! Also try the fries with cheese sauce. Always a hit with the fam!! 10 out of 5 stars. You
Chicken strips so good you don't need teeth.
A+ Fries and cheese sauce. Give it a try.

Traveled from Buffalo to get their chicken strips which I heard were absolutely amazing. I am a chicken finger connoisseur and these are definitely top five on my list from every place that I have tried. Love a crispy finger smothered in cheese sauce
Insanely good food! Chicken was so crispy and crunchy.
Will be returning. I wasn't sure what to order and Diane behind the bar led me in the right direction!
Why can't they have one of these in California! Tender
Why can't they have one of these in California! Tender Chicken Strips- Better than Canes for sure. I highly recommended.

My wife said these were the BEST chicken strips and cheese fries she ever had. Got it as carry out and they were cooked perfectly and they didn't forget a thing in our rather large order. Great service, especially from a lady named Diane who too
Go Here!

My dinner was everything I expected and more...
My wife and I were visiting Chicago from June 26 until July1. We came to visit some museums and restaurants. I was reading reviews of some of the hot, trendy places and I saw reviews of The Duck Inn. I was intrigued enough to make a reservation and o
"Working-class Fine Dining" is right
A former Michelin-star chef at The Four Seasons and later the owner of Allium it is now back in his native Bridgeport that the Kevin Hickey helms an ode to his hometown with a decidedly local vibe called The Duck Inn. Opened in 2014, a South Side ad
Underwhelmed
Atmosphere was great! Service was a bit robotic, but consistent/professional. Food was underwhelming which was disappointing. We shared brussel sprouts and burrata. Burrata was tasty. Friends had the 80 dollar duck. Again, very underwhelmed. Lamb sau
A good place
Really good. I loved the fois Gras and the burratta a lot!! The duck was good although a little salty for me . Service pretty good, just maybe have more attention at the end. It took a lot of time to ask for desert or coffee.
Go off the beaten trail to this gem!
Truly scrumptious! Go off the beaten path to this Bridgeport gem for wonderful food, great vibe and excellent service. Four of us shared the rotisserie duck, a duck hot dog, burrata and sides of duck fat fries and brussels sprouts, followed by the ch
Weird experience
Food was good. We were rushed out for no good reason, probably didnt order enough food? Weird experience. Wouldnt recommend
How can you pass up a hot dog at the Duck Inn?
A hot dog for dinner at one of the most celebrated and decorated restaurants in Chicago? You're kidding, right? Nope. Award winning chef Kevin Hickey lists a Duck Inn Dog on his menu and it's no laughing matter. In fact, it's a mouthfu
Date Night dinner
Delicious food. Fresh and innovative flavors. Highly recommend for a date night. The patio area is really cute in the summertime.
Came here on a recent trip to Chicago.
The namesake hot dog based on the typical "Chicago dog" version was delicious. Also had some collards, duck fat potatoes and Italian beef. Weather was nice to sit out on the patio. Great experience!

As a couple of foodies from Portland with dietary restrictions, we were very pleasantly surprised with this place! The duck wings were phenomenal and service lighthearted and pleasant. Had the Scallop and Pork Belly. Really busy around 8PM. Had a pub
Loved it.
Great back patio, atmosphere and food. Here's more words to make up the shortage of letters needed to post a review.

It was the best time to be alive.
They didn't pay me to do this but i experienced heaven today (as i eat my duck fries). The service, the food, the people, the date, sensational. Five stars! (Try the tusk & temper cocktail and the duck fries). P.S i haven't had my entree yet but

OMG OMG Omg!!! The duck was amazingly good with duck fat fries. Holy cow!! I couldn't stop eating it, we ordered seconds (watch your cholesterol). Nice ambience. Service was good.
We came here for dinner on Sunday.
The atmosphere and vibe were nice (it was a little loud but that wasn't an issue). The service just really seemed to be lacking and the food honestly could have been better. We did have a bigger party (7) so I'm taking that into account, but it's rea
The service was impeccable from start to finish.
Our server was gracious and accommodating, ensuring every aspect of our dining experience was perfect. We would come back just for the service.

The vintage vibe is so great.
I love walking in the duck inn. The service was perfect and the food was perfect. Of course you have to get the whole roasted duck with salad and roasted potatoes. It's cooked perfectly. The walleye was a great choice as well as was the farmer's vege
Perfect meal.
Everything we had was fantastic. The duck wings were so good that we needed more. We ordered the rotisserie duck in advance and it was spectacular. The theme throughout was flavor. I wouldn't change a thing and am already planning to go again. This i

This was such a fun, delicious night out! We tried so many fun things (duck fat fries, brussel sprouts, fried cheese curds) and then shared the duck and the giant steak. Both of the entrees were fantastic. The steak was so juicy and the poutine fries

The food was amazing and they really took care of us it was so fun that we came for the beginning of their Chinese new year menu. We began with the egg rolls which were amazing. Had duck fat fries. Loved the Asian flavor of the duck. It was so
What a Rip-Off
Went to the Duck Inn for dinner. We had stopped there once before with our kids. Don’t know why daughter wanted to go there but what a rip. Son didn’t like his double burger sauce or cooking level, so did not eat. Fries were tiny and overcooked.
Best dogs in Chicago
I went here because I used to love the hot dogs at The Four Seasons. I had heard the chef who made them left and started his own place. I was not disappointed - it was the same tasty dog they used to have at the hotel, plus a lot of other fine-look

Hidden away location but worth the effort to find it. The Duck Inn specializes in serving whole rotisserie ducks. Our was juicy and tender and sides were great. Restaurant was busy and rather noisy, but not a problem. Staff were super friendly an

Call ahead for the duck! It was delicious and more than enough for two people! Our waitress was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and attentive. She recommended the mussels and I'm so glad she did. I always want to eat mussels with lobster now!

If you want to fall in love with duck again (or for the first time) this is the place to go. The rotisserie duck (for 2) is SOOOO good. The skin is crispy and the temp of the duck is cooked to perfection. The duck fat fries are crispy and these musse
Love the atmosphere here.
It's dark and intimate. It was one of the first places I took my wife when she moved here from North Carolina. We still visit every so often. We love the food.

I feel like this is a place where familiarity with the menu is necessary to have a great experience. For example, while the hot dogs are tasty, they are not $12 tasty - I'd rather eat 2 Portillo's hot dogs and have enough for a 3rd in leftover change

Inconsistent is a word that comes to mind when it comes to this restaurant. My boyfriend and I went here for our anniversary. Everything was delicious except for the whole duck - which I believe is their claim to fame - the fat was not rendered prope

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to The Duck Inn Chicago at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the The Duck Inn Chicago page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* MaternalRecord73, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* MaternalRecord73 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to MaternalRecord73 for any questions Peter may have as MaternalRecord73 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* MaternalRecord73 now uses their connections at The Duck Inn Chicago to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If MaternalRecord73 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, MaternalRecord73 receives the $200 reward which is credited to MaternalRecord73's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at The Duck Inn Chicago!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
