The Duck Inn

Incredible restaurant with beautiful atmosphere and food. The duck as you would hope was out of this world and honestly everything I ate and drank was perfect. So cool to see the cooks in the kitchen working and producing the incredible food we ate. Such a cool restaurant I will definitely be back!

Went here for their Sunday brunch and the food was delicious and their service was absolutely phenomenal. I got the Duck Sope, the Rotisserie Hash and the Sticky Bun. The sope was by far the best of the three, but the sticky bun was like a more delicious cinnamon roll with candied pecans, and the rotisserie is good if you like a good vegetable medley. The service is what took this restaurant to 5 stars for me. By far some of the kindest servers/hosts that I’ve encountered in Chicago. The prices are also reasonable so I’d recommend you check it out if you haven’t yet. A diamond in the rough, I’m surprised that there isn’t a line out the door.

My volunteer partner at Open House Chicago 2022 spoke highly of Duck Inn. If you are looking for "that place," look no further. I made a reservation for 2:30PM. On this day, parking around Duck Inn required patrons to read warning signs on trees and light poles. Yes, the Chicago Fire film crew was setting up for a scene on the bridge nearby. The inn is beautiful, and the natural lighting is a plus. I ordered the Bloody Mary, and my guest ordered The Batanga. His cocktail came with a knife. Ask your server to share the story behind this drink. We started with the Duck Wings (Japanese bbq sauce), Duck Bacon, and a Buttermilk Biscuit. Do not let the texture of the biscuit throw you off. Even though it was crunchy on the outside, the biscuit was soft on the inside. The plates are shareable. I enjoyed the Duck Fat Dog (Chicago-style), and my guest ordered the Up 'N' Over Burger. The food is delicious. The duck dog reminded me of deep-fried polish. Although I am not a fan of runny eggs, that burger was exceptional. Of course, we ordered a side of fries. We stopped at the bar for $5 tequila shots on our way out of the restaurant. I will return to try the dinner menu and the Rotisserie Duck. By the way, do you have vinyl around your home? Bring an album or two, and listen to your music while you dine. I also want to see the Christmas decorations because the Halloween decorations made the place cozier. There is also an outdoor patio that I want to try in the summer. If you want a dining experience, make a reservation at Duck Inn.

High quality experience in what feels like the middle of nowhere. But don't let that take away from it's greatness. Lowkey looking building with comfortable and welcoming vibe inside. Reservation recommended. Brunch menu review. Started with the zen by the sword cocktail served in a wooden vessel. Very refreshing and complementary to the savory dishes. French toast was perfection and would melt in your mouth with flavor. A little bit too much marshmallow topping for me. The duck wings are well cooked with a delicious Japanese BBQ sauce. The rotisserie duck hash dish was the star. It was cooked to a golden perfection and remained juicy. The eggs and hash complimented the dish. It was so rich I had to order the champagne velvet beer for balance. The beer was smooth and cold. Service was good for how busy it felt. The crowd was lively but not overwhelming for those that like intimacy. Have yet to visit the outside patio. Overall amazing experience and will plan to come back and try the rest of the menu.

The duck is totally delicious.Prepared to perfection. Gratifying in every sense. A must order at this gastro destination. If you like Italian beef a must order are the sliders.Yes that’s right Italian beef sliders appetizers.Absolute genius and second to none. The romantic retro bar decor is warm,cozy and comfortable completely without pretentious. Impeccable service.Professional with just the perfect amount of friendliness. Pricing expensive but reflective of the superior good quality. Parking on street non metered and easy. AWARDED 3 YUMS ON A SCALE OF 3

Great casual, retro vibe. Immaculate service, ambience, and quality. From the starters, including amazing oysters 2 ways, to the rotisserie duck and foie gras main event, to the desserts and craft cocktails, everything shows the skills of the kitchen and bar. Probably made it through half the menu and have never found anything that is not exceptional. The wine options are carefully curated and the spirits list is extensive.

The food was fantastic as was the service! I will likely be back again next week because there's still more I want to try. The wings are incredible. We also had the duck sope, the smoked salmon toast, and their special. The biscuits and gravy on the special were fiiiire!

The Duck Inn was amazing. The food was delightful and the service was exceptional. I ordered the peaches and cream French toast and I was not disappointed. The sticky buns are also to die for.
