Awesome supper club. Had the prime rib king cut. Was excellent. Flavorable, tender, and huge. Wife had duck and she loved it. Quality of food is great. Service was great. Price is fair for what you get. Definately would go back. read more

This place is AWFUL! From the food to the service. The atrocious experience we had at the Duck Inn was undeniably the worst dining experience we've ever encountered! We ordered two steak dinners and a chicken dinner. The steaks were not only prepared incorrectly once, but twice. They were absolutely disgusting! First, they were burnt to a crisp and tasted like what I would imagine shoe leather would taste like and they had a liver taste as well. Then, the second time they served the steaks they were almost raw. Very cold in the center. Ugh! When asking the server about it her reply was "well I don't have a crystal ball but if I did the world would be a better place." Really? When we asked what the soup was she said she didn't know because she just got there and asked if we wanted her to go find out. Wow! Isn't that part of the job as a server? It was one thing after another and we finally had to ask to speak with a manager or owner. When Jeff the owner finally came to our table, at no time did he apologize for anything. All he said was he would have to go back to the kitchen and find out what was going on. He never returned to our table at all. We asked for our check and the server asked if we wanted to take our steaks home and cook them longer. We said no thank you. (They were $24.00 each. Why should we have to take them home and cook them ourselves.) The waitress then literally grabbed our plates and threw them in a bin right next to us as if she was mad. When she finally brought the bill, we were still charged for our salads. I located "Jeff" and asked him about this and he said it was because we ate them. (Even though they came with the steaks we ordered.) It is extremely rare that we complain about the food or the service. This was so bad we felt compelled to share our experience. Again, it was a nightmare and we will never go back nor ever recommend this place to anyone! read more

Had a wonderful meal. Drove up from Iowa, we found a great atmosphere. Had a great meal. I had a perfectly prepared Ribeye and my wife loved the Duck Sampler. We ended the night with a fantastic Key Lime pie and some perfectly poured drinks from the bar. I will definitely be back! Thank you for a wonderful date night! read more

Loved the ambience! Truly a Wisconsin spot with the old fashions flowing and Friday night fish fries. We tried the duck and the bluegill. Both were very good! An unusual place with a lot of great character. Definitely a great stop if you make the drive! today I tried the old fashion but not so good maybe they need to learn how to make an old fashion anyway make sure you check your bill because even though you sent back things they will charge you for them read more

Been coming here for ten plus years and the service continues to decline. Extremely disappointed, quicker to order a drink at the bar than with your waiter. They couldn't even get an old fashion correctly. Took two hours to get your food. Disappointing for a supper club read more

Generally disappointed. I had Wiener schnitzel and my wife had the vegetarian pasta. Pasta was virtually unseasoned and schnitzel was pounded to within an inch of its life. Veal was so thin, you could hardly tell there was meat in it. What bulk there was came from the breading. Ordered a Brandy Alexander after the meal. It was huge, tasty, but took nearly 15 minutes to create. At one point, I commented the bartender must have needed to express a cow to get the milk needed for the ice cream. Really wanted this to be a positive experience, but unfortunately left disappointed. We're Foodies and love trying new things and places. Unfortunately, l doubt we'll be back. read more

Well it certainly was worth getting lost on the way from Lake Geneva. I love supper clubs and this one is fantastic!! The room is filled with stuffed fowl and we were the youngest people dining by 20 years. So they start you off with crackers, bread, and cheese. I got the combo of a petit fillet and 1.4 duck o'lorange and the wife had the cherries jubilee duck. Some of the finest duck I've ever eaten. And the had pheasant on the menu which I was really curious about. Almost forgot to mention that each meal comes with soup or salad. I had an amazing duck-vegetable soup and the wife had the spinach salad with warm bacon dressing. They give you so much food, that we couldn't even look at the desert tray. And our tab was $75 with a nice bottle of wine. We were livin the high life. read more

I went here for dinner with my parents. We were the first ones there. We're given a basket of crackers from the store and cheese the cheese was good but crackers? No bread, no butter. We ordered appetizers Oysters Rockefeller and Liver Pate. Nothing to jump up and down about. They have hanging fake plants! Dust dust! Our Dinner soup Steak with hollandaise sauce with Asparagus topped with Crab (Crap) Meat. &40.00 and Prime Rib. Soup cream of Mushroom. Mind you &40.00 is a lot but they all were saying how good it was so my Mother and I went for it medium rare. Well the Crab meat was so fishy it was horrible! Right out of the freezer!!! Both were. The meat ok.... The soup was the only thing that was good! I would not go back! It's a over priced dump! Even if it's in the middle of no place You do not have to have your prices that high! Plus they are not a five star restaurant so get over yourself. You have been warned! read more

Interior was nice, clean, and well maintained. Dark wood paneling with a massive stone fireplace, and a high vaulted ceiling. Classic old school 1960's Wisconsin supper club atmosphere - which is fine with me. In spite of being full to capacity, the place was not overly loud. Service was friendly, quick, and helpful and drink pours were very generous. We came for the Friday night fish fry but were very disappointed. The non-mayo based coleslaw was great, and the fries were very good. The fish though was poor. The breading was mush, and fell off the fish. Clearly had been sitting in a warming tray far too long. So sad, would have been a 5 star rating except for the fish. read more

Great Fish Fry on Friday nights. Always packed so expect to wait. Homemade potato pancakes are amazing! Finish the night with a grasshopper cocktail just like the good old days... read more

My wife and I have no qualms driving an hour, or so, and waiting 45 minutes to an hour (even with resevations), but, after reading all the NEGATIVE reviews about the Duck Inn, as much as I like duck, I 've crossed this restaurant off my "bucket list". C'est la vie! Chris and Barbara White Milwaukee read more

Old school Wisconsin supper clubs are one of my favorite things about coming home to Wisconsin. And this place is one of my favorites. The food is phenomenal, while I get the half baked duck every time, I have sampled other items from family. Duck is one of my favorite foods and they do it so perfectly here. Always cooked so it's unbelievable tender and juicy, the skin has that little crisp and saltiness that makes it so good. The service is always wonderful, we always have a great time chatting up the bartenders and ordering fun cocktails. I especially love coming here on cold winter nights, the atmosphere is so warm and cozy with all the lights and fire they have going, makes for a great experience. This is place is one of my favorites any where and always will be. read more

I was very disappointed that for what they charge the food was not better. Scallops had no flavor, steak was over done, escargo had no flavor and the blue gill you could only taste the pretzel breading. It was a very big let down for us, and the bill was lets just say high, for the food we recieved. We will go back to our normal club the bills the same and the food is outstanding. read more

My wife and I have eaten at the "Duckie" many times and we love it. There is a huge bar and you don't need to worry about drunken 21-year-olds getting in fights - this is definitely an older crowd - a good mix of 30-70 year-olds. Drinks are generous. Everything I've had here has been very good - from fresh fish to shrimp to chicken and beef. Soups and salads are excellent. The Friday fish fry is great - get there early or a little late to avoid a wait. The atmosphere is classy. read more

A classic Wisconsin supper club that is well worth the drive to its rural location. The dining room is reminiscent of an Alpine lodge and the food is excellent (get the duck!). A true dining experience, each entree comes with several courses (bread, soup or salad, potato, etc.). The fish fry is also excellent. The retro bar area is a great place for a drink before your meal and will make you feel like you've stepped back in time. Great, friendly service and top-quality food. Love this place. read more

Duck Inn. Best food in the area. I'd been trying to get there for awhile and I shouldn't have waited. Duck was amazing. Great sauce and very generous portions. Asparagus with feta. Perfect. Clam chowder. Amazing. My spouse had cod fish fry. All you can eat. Unbelievable. Potato pancakes. None better in Jefferson County. Worth the drive from Fort Atkinson. We are from Chicago and you could not get this quality and taste anywhere in Chicago when it comes to duck dishes. Fresh not frozen is the key. Service top notch. This is a keeper! read more

My wife and I came here on a Saturday night. We did not have reservations, and were told it would be a 30-40 minute wait. No big deal, as we sat at the bar and had some cocktails. After about 45 minutes, I went to the hostess and asked where we stood, and she told me there were all these reservations she had to sit first, and it could be up to another 45 minutes. She also said she did not know why we were told it would be a 30-40 minute wait when we arrived. Disappointed, I went back to the bar to settle the tab as we were not going to wait any longer. The man who settled our tab was also the owner of the restaurant. We told him what happened, and he said he'd check on it. He came back and said a table was being cleared and we would be seated in five minutes, which we were. Maybe I'm spoiled since I live near Chicago, but the NY Strip I had was OK; not great. They do give you a lot for your money here, with soup/salad and generous sides. But again, the service was very poor. Our waitress would disappear for minutes on end as it took over ten minutes to get our bill. My advice is to be sure to get a reservation for this place. read more

Nice super club feel but food just ordinary. Chicken okay, duck just okay. Wiener schnitzel best option but more heavily breaded than we would like. Interesting spot. Food and prices just average read more

Duck Inn - Lovely ambiance, arrived 4 pm lots of seating - Seafood Near Me - Delavan, Wisconsin

They don't make them like this anymore. Surprised that none of the reviews mentioned the heavy pour Manhattans served at the bar. I had the roasted duck a few months ago and found that it was a bit dry. Last night, I had the prime rib which was a strong choice. I wish they enforced some sort of dress code since this isn't a Culver's. A lot of hunting hats and Carhartt overalls. Friendly attentive servers and a nice overall experience at an old-school supper club. read more

Two stars for the service, four for the food and five for the atmosphere. We went for dinner on a Friday and they should warn you if you don't get the fish fry, be prepared to wait over an hour for food. She actually didn't even tell us there was a fish fry. Overall the duck was delicious and the atmospheres is great- they just need more servers (and maybe kitchen staff?) on Friday, we had to beg for everything. read more

Visited this restaurant on a sat nite to celebrate our anniversary. My husband & I ordered the prime rib. The queen cut portion is a good size & quality of the meat was excellent & very tasty. We plan to go back with our whole family. The restaurant was beautifully decorated for Xmas and the fireplace was a nice touch. Highly recommend this place. read more

Worth the visit Too many years since we have been there! Don't know why! College girl was our server -- great job! Walleye and fried shrimp were our dinners Both really good Supper club feel -- cracker and cheese - soup or salad It's good!! read more

Definitely over priced! My wife and I decided to try this place and we decided to splurge and get some of their higher end dishes. Our bill was over a hundred for just the two us. Spending the money was not the concern. It was the level they prepared their food and their presentation. Ritz cracker in pre-packaged packets with cheese spread. the duck, lobster, and steak were all over cooked. The mashed potatoes were not great. The best part was the asparagus soup. Definitely recommend driving past this place. read more

I was really excited to come here but there were some highs and lows to my experience. First off I loved the nostalgia of the place and the duck and fish swimming behind the bar. I was dining alone and didn't want to sit at a table in the main dining room by myself. So I sat at the bar and had an Old Fashioned. I asked the bartender if I could eat at the bar and it was a major ordeal. They had to bring over a server with a menu and table setting. I guess they never had someone ask for this request before. The bartender wasn't allowed to hand me a menu and serve or order my dinner. Another waitress had to come over. The homemade flatbread or crackers that came with the homemade cheese spread were fabulous!! French onion soup that came with my dinner was good too. But the Salmon that I ordered was awful. It wasn't as savory as they described. It was dried out. My green beans were also horrible. Crunchy and bland with almonds sprinkled on top. The Parmesan smashed potatoes were good. I think if I went back again i would try something else on the menu or just sit at the bar and drink since their bartenders were on point. A+ on the service. read more

I've had two trips to the Duck Inn. They are a 3.5 star joint for me. The name is cute and clever, but I do have to say I was a little disappointed by their duck entrée I ordered on my first visit. However, you definitely get a hearty meal. My second visit was for their Friday Fish Fry. We had a big group, because we were celebrating a pair of birthdays and a wedding anniversary. The Duck Inn has great accommodations for big groups and families. I thought their fried cod was pretty tasty, and they have some really nice beverage selections! You should probably get a reservation Friday evenings--for how big this place is, it's impressive how quickly they fill up! read more

Very good duck and pheasant. Duck pate serving was way too large. You will not go home hungry. However, there was not a vegetable served with the dinner and the salad was small. read more

We enjoyed the atmosphere. Great meal combos, prime rib and duck were excellent. Good desserts too!

Great old fashioned supper club...Sinatra playing in the background, low lights, cloth tablecloths, leather booths, perfect atmosphere. Wisconsin is known for these supper clubs. Duck Inn served the traditional supper club favorite: cheese ball, crackers and fresh veggies. Several duck entrees to choose from but we both ordered one of the specials. Reasonably priced---entrees range from $18 - $30. Good food...good time...we will be back. read more

Fish fry was good but when you are seated at 6:05pm and you leave at 7:50pm and all you order is a fish fry for 4 people that is not good. People all around who were seated after us were getting their food. Group of 10 that was seated almost 15 minutes after us were leaving with us. Maybe the locals are served first. read more

This place has very good food, plus the service is very good, great menu items as well.

Came here Friday night for the fish fry. The fried cod is good and the potato pancakes are fantastic. I was barely able to walk out after. If your looking for a solid Friday night fish fry in southern Wisconsin this is your place. read more

This is an old school supper club with cozy booths in the bar area! I would highly recommend that you request Joyce for your server, as we do every visit! She is always very attentive and caring! Food is outstanding as always! Get there early as it fills fast! read more

We had a great experience here tonight on our road trip from MA to MN. Found it by doing a little online research and dove right in. First off, the atmosphere in the place is just what we were looking for. Old decor, nice old bar area, just a great-feeling old place. We didn't know about the Wisconsin supper-club tradition, but we got into it right away at this place. So we were ready for some compromises on the food because old places like this can sometimes serve stuff that's a bit heavy and sometimes even a little gross. No matter--we're willing to relax our standards just to get in on something totally local that's been around for a good long while. But there were no compromises needed at this place! We first realized something was up when my wife said, "Wait a minute! I think this peppercorn ranch dressing on the salad is homemade." Sure enough, we asked the waitress (who was great), and she said yes indeed it is. The duck soup was hearty and great too, and waitress brought out fresh dinner rolls and Swedish flatbread as soon as they came out of the oven, All really really good. I had the Hunters style pork medallions with spaetzle. I loved it. The sauce was very rich and dark, with a mushroomy flavor. The pork was breaded and fried and stayed crispy and tender in the sauce. I've had lots of this kind of thing in my lifetime--schnitzel and veal parm and orange crispy beef etc. etc.--but this was among the best in the way the sauce and the breading and the meat itself came together. It was a huge portion, and I ate it all. My wife loved her shrimp dinner too, which again was really breaded and fried well. Kids had duck soup and a hamburger, and they did well with them. Also loved the fresh-baked cookie that came with the kids meal. Again, the waitress was great and the whole dinner came to less than a hundred bucks (wife and I each had a cocktail and a glass of wine). I can't imagine a better WI supper club experience. read more

My family and I love to come here! great fish for Fridays but the other food is SUPER good as well. The staff is great! It's cozy, quaint and very welcoming. It also accommodates larger crowds which is nice. Best Fish Fry around!! read more

Friday Fish Fry, Family style was a great choice with 7 people and the variety was splendid. The potato pancakes were a little larger than a silver dollar, a half inch thick and the flavor was delicious, best I've ever had. If you put on the semi chunky applesauce, WOW! read more

Poor service, cold food. That's all that needs to be said. I mean I wouldn't expect anything else from a place called the Duck Inn. It should be called Dick Inn read more

Service was excelent ! Delicious food ! Fair prices. Duck inn / Waddle out / and wait until the goose comes (In October ) read more

Stopped in for dinner on a Wednesday evening around 6:30. The place was only about half full. Service was horrible! 45 minutes before we even got our salads. I ordered a filet medium and it was rare...too hungry by the time it arrived to send it back. Husband had salmon which he loved. read more

Was expecting better from the other reviews I read. The Duck Inn has a typical supper club feel which we really like. The old fashions were very good as they should be at a supper club. My wife had the queen prime rib and it was good. Nice size and not to much fat. I had the beef tenderloin rouladen which was one of their featured entrees. The red cabbage was very good as was the baby potatoes, but the rouladen was just ok. The beef was not very tender and I only received one small roll. I was disappointed to leave a supper club still hungry. read more

Fabulous, fabulous, fabulous! I had the Duck al'orange. So good. The atmosperere is great as well. Very rustic and kinda outdoorsy, lots of wood with a bit of class. This place is constantly packed. Very well known in the area for the quality of food. My parents say the fish there is very good as well and my sister inlaw ranted and raved about the baked cod served not in portions but large filets. read more
