Some of the best food in Chicago and great service too! They can take something as simple as a hotdog and make it into a world class meal packed with flavor. While it's a bit out of the way for some folks it worth making the trek over and you ca
Booked entire restaurant for a memorial.
This hip restaurant/bar was the PERFECT place for a dear fiend's memorial. The manager, Mike, sat down with us to plan a fitting gathering for our hip friend. Mike helped us set up an appropriate layout of food, mingling and 'program'.

Finally got around to checking out The Duck Inn with friends, after many a trip to town. We originally planned to attend the last Luau of the season the end of September (a mishmash of Hawaiian and Oktoberfest apparently), but after sitting down and

Went here at the beginning of Covid, sat outside and loved it. Just returned, took one look at the menu prices, and got up to go elsewhere (I never do that). Was a long-time server back in the day & support the industry, but.......whoa.

Such a great experience! I'm on a highly restrictive medical diet and our server, Justin, made sure to accommodate me in ever way possible. This was the best meal I have had since starting this diet and it was much appreciated. Because of my res

I love you duck inn!!! Literally everything on the menu is sensational. The patio in the back is beautiful and so charming in the summer, and the interior has a cozy, familiar feel. The prince symbols for all gender bathrooms? Genius. I want to live

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
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

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
Chicken strips so good you don't need teeth.
A+ Fries and cheese sauce. Give it a try.

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
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.
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!
Go Here!
Rating : 4.5 - I took away a bit since our waiter was way too talkative. Better than expected, seriously good food. All the dishes: Duck Inn Dog Duck Duck Sope Up N Over Burger Duck Wings Collard Greens Duck Fat Potatoes
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.

yes, i am critical, and do so especially when a place is more higher end which is indicative from pricing (i've been to many high end places over the last 40 years, so yes, i know what i am talking about), this place has no shame when it comes to pri
OMG OMG Omg!!! The duck was amazingly good with duck fat
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.
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
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.
When you think of The Duck Inn, you think of duck, right?
When you think of The Duck Inn, you think of duck, right? And you should, because the duck is wonderful, and that alone is worth the sprint to Bridgeport. But what if I told you that they also served the best seafood I've had in 2024, Walleye over cl
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
Connect with users posting reservations for The Duck Inn Chicago
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with The Duck Inn Chicago. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
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
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
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
* CompellingStation67, 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.
* CompellingStation67 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to CompellingStation67 for any questions Peter may have as CompellingStation67 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* CompellingStation67 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 CompellingStation67 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, CompellingStation67 receives the $200 reward which is credited to CompellingStation67'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.
