We went here while staying in Lake Geneva and felt like we were transported back 50 years to the peak time of a cozy, supper club. If you're looking for modern decor and an upscale menu, this isn't the place for you. But, if you're looking for friendly service, a relaxing atmosphere, and homey comfort foods, this is the place for you. This was comfortable and an elevated experience, all wrapped up into one. read more

Food was bland, super overpriced. Potatoes were cold. Asked for the whiskey sour and got a whiskey highball. Tried to send it back but server was confident it was the right drink. Also had to ask for several items that didn't come out. I guess it was the servers first night but ask a question if you don't know to clarify or train staff better. They do have good rice and mushrooms at least. read more

Been here many times, but the food at our recent visit was horrible. Beef burgundy tips with mushrooms were extremely bland. Anglers pasta was extremely overcooked. Although the seafood was ok, the pasta itself was not edible. Made the waitress aware with the hope of at least a discount, and all she said was "sorry". I know it wasn't her fault, but some sort of compensation was expected. Horrible, and expensive experience. We won't go back and you should think twice too. Place isn't what it use to be. read more

One of the BEST supper clubs still around! The food NEVER disappoints and the drinks are always great. The service is on point as usual with a friendly staff to make you feel welcome! read more

If you haven't been to a supper club go here. Great food and great environment! We loved the ambience

We stop here for our third time with hopes of a great meal. iI ordered the duck and it was gross. I sent it back and they did take it off the bill. My wife ordered baked fish and it was over cooked maybe pre cooked. Enough said. read more

This is a traditional supper club and well worth searching out. My husband and I were driving to Milwaukee but knew we might be a bit late for dinner. So we stopped at this great little supper club. It was packed but we grabbed a drink at the bar and waited just a bit. It was Friday so it was fish fry night. They offered both broiled and fried so my husband got some of both. The fish was flaky and delicious. I had chicken stuffed with asparagus. It was pretty good but next time I'm going with the fish. (When in Wisconsin..., right?) Our waitress Evonne was outstanding. She was attentive and efficient and she was the one who suggested my husband try the fish both ways. I recommend this restaurant!! read more

We had the most amazing experience at the Duck Inn. Everyone was so friendly! We had before dinner drinks (Cosmo and Old Fashioned). They were delicious. Our waitress was so helpful. I have gluten intolerance and she knew exactly what was safe for me to eat. Our dinner was fantastic! I highly recommend the filet mignon béarnaise sauce. We had a buzzed beaver ice cream drink - it was fantastic!!! We will return. read more

I will say that the Friday fish fry is good. Had the fried cod so cannot attest to any other types. Another person I was with at the shnitzel and it was pretty good. I ordered the French onion soup and was immediately turned off by the looks of it. I tried a spoonful and it was about as bad as it looks. Honestly was just a subpar meal (minus the absolutely disgusting soup) and not inexpensive. The place itself looks like an old ski lodge cabin which I can appreciate. Very crowded and had to wait to be seated with a reservation. Bar was impossible to get drink at while waiting. read more

Duck Inn - French onion soup... rancid .. curdled cheese and green broth - Seafood Near Me - Delavan, Wisconsin

Hidden gem. Great supper club. Good food and service. Love the supper club vibe. Worth the drive. read more

Nothing special. Overpriced for mediocre food and sizes (on certain meals). The service was slow too. I wish they offered smaller steaks.

I had heard so many things about the place I maybe came in with higher expectations. The place is so cool- like a step back in time. Wood everywhere. Ducks everywhere. Cool theme. They were busy on a Friday night but we got a table. Used the online reservation system but still had to wait like 10 minutes?? Ordered food. Bread was delicious. Soups were very good. The duck egg rolls were incredible- definitely order those. The duck Wellington was okay for me. The chicken piccata was disappointing for sure for my wife. I'd come back but order fish fry or a steak. I'll come back but kind of overrated after my first experience. read more

The food is excellent, best potato pancakes in the area Nice menu if you are not in the mood for fish fry. Service is very good despite there always being a crowd Has a real supper club feel. read more

We did not know what to expect but wanted the supper club experience for our anniversary dinner. The place looked small an unassuming on the outside and we were surprised how large it was inside with a warm atmosphere, decked out fir the holidays. Food was delicious! Desserts looked great but alas we were too full from our meals. Ice cream drinks were being served to several other guests and looked fabulous! Would definitely go back. read more

I've driven past this place hundreds of times over the past 40 years but I never made it a point to stop in. Well, we went today and I was blown away! Duck Inn is an old fashion supper club. Excellent food and excellent service. The food is not cheap but the quality justifies the slightly higher prices. I had the seafood pasta dish and it was excellent! read more

This supper club is in a rural area a bit of a drive from the Geneva Lake area however it is worth the drive if you're looking for a new place to try. The interior is clean and nicely decorated with a casual ambiance. The menu has a good variety of items on it to choose from. If you can't decide, there is a duo or trio combo dinner where you can choose 2 or 3 items. I had the petite filet and scallops which came with a side & your choice of soup or salad. Next time I will try the duck. The server was speedy and attentive but not annoying. The dining room is decent size. There is also a bar area on the left after you enter which you can dine at if that is more your speed. read more

Duck Inn - Seafood Near Me - Delavan, Wisconsin

Made online reservations but upon arrival they didnt seem to find them. We were seated in the bar area because we were told a large party of 13 were arriving and the dining room would be noisy. Special martini was great but was gone after 2 sips, small glass. Old fashioned was yummy. We started with crab stuffed mushrooms. Hardly any crab and way to much sauce on the plate. Cheese spread with prepackaged breadsticks. Standard salads with 2 store bought rolls and what looked like 2 Graham crackers. Had to use the same bread plate for everything which we didnt appreciate. We did not receive a relish tray. Prime rib $38, medium and medium rare. Medium rare was luke warm. Mentioned to young waitress she said "they cut the meat when the order is placed". ?? Anyhow she said she would have them reheat it. I was questioning how they could do that without over cooking it. She said it would be fine. Over 15 minutes passed I had to go look for our server. The meat by looks alone you could see it was cooked to well. Dirty dishes/glasses were not removed till the very end. Table was a mess. Ice cream drink was pretty average. read more

Old school supper club. Stick to the beef or duck or goose or trout, those are the best. The desserts are incredible. Great atmosphere, bar is quieter. Drinks are very good. read more

Thursday night is rib night. We were looking closer to Janesville but could not find on most menus anywhere else, so we went to Duck inn. The menu is very inviting but we still all ordered the rib dinner. We started with drink specials very good. Added the Parmesan crusted calamari way to small but so delicious. Then some salads spinach salad is a warm salad with sweet vinegar and bacon dressing very good also. My daughter had the duck vegetable soup. Very good sorta like a turkey w/ mashed potatoes and gravy in a bowl. The good kind very good. Then the Ribs, total silence as the carnage began. Everyone agreed these ribs were very good, without a word said except some grunts and mmms. For at least 3 ribs. My son was on his lower portion before he came up for air. Fall off the bone good sauce ribs. Excellent and that's what we came for. Loved the service also. read more

Amazing old school supper club. Friendly service and many fine options to chose from for all tastes. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area. read more

We went on a Saturday night in October thinking the demand might of died down. Nope! Still a madhouse. We had called and "put our name in". Still a 35 minute wait. Not a huge deal. 10 minutes for a waiter. 10-15 minutes for drinks No crackers and cheese despite asking Ordered Calamari for appetizer. Our first morsel of food came 50 minutes after being seated Calamari was great but super small portion for $16.95. So not worth it. Then all the food came out super quick. Not even time to finish the salad!! Really!!! Food: spinach salad with their dressing awesome. Baked onion soup was awesome per my husband. Maybe mozzarella on top not Swiss. Prime rib: We all had and it was great. Full of flavor and cooked perfectly! They charge $1.75 each for horseradish which is ridiculous. Mashed potatoes with caramelized onions were cold but they had potential! Drinks were good . Whiskey sour said it was old fashioned with egg whites and that was not the case. So the food is great. Service poor. This is the 2nd time we had poor service so I needed to share. read more

The Duck Inn 3.75 stars Next time I come back I'm getting...... I have a rule when going to a place for the first time and it's 'Order multiple things'. It's the best way to review a place! So let me sum it up: Ambiance- Love the vibe! As recommended, we dined in the bar area in these little booths. I would still recommend it! Drinks- good old fashioneds Food- FREE CHEESE SPREAD and Crackers! Relish Tray - $1.25 Get it! Duck Gizzards with spicy aioli - actually pretty good but not as spicy as anticipated Calamari - decent but could use a dipping sauce like the spicy aioli or marinara Cashew Duck - really good! The apricot glaze is a bonus Rainbow Trout - my least favorite even though YELP reviews strongly recommended it. Actually took the apricot glaze from the Duck and drizzled it over for flavor. Prime Rib - really tender and flavorful! Filet - the tables favorite of the night. Based on YELP reviews that say things are usually overcooked; we decided to order medium rare hoping for a medium. And that's exactly what we got! Tender, great flavor and enjoyed the seasoning and char. Salads- the tossed AND the spinach with hot bacon dressing were both really good! Desserts- Chocolate cake- must have come directly from the cooler because it was much better once it got room temperature. The cold cake made it seem dried out but once it warmed up it was really moist. It has a heavy icing which I would have preferred something lighter Grasshopper Cheesecake- looked great and tasted Ok but I think I would have preferred the drink instead Crème Brûlée - never disappoints Salted Caramel crust less cheesecake - THE WINNER! This was served with warm caramel and it was to die for So..... what would I order next time? The Filet, tossed salad (because I had the spinach already), and salted caramel cheesecake OR a Grasshopper Ice Cream Drink Our Waiter - FANTASTIC Also showed up at 4pm because we prefer to leave before the huge crowd and long waits read more

Decent food from when these places were the best. Good drinks for a fair price. If you like this type of food you gotta try it. Service is great from everyone. Makes you want to come back. The bar is spectacular. Bartenders attentive and talkative. read more

We have enjoyed coming in to this restaurant on previous occasions. This time we brought friends, who have never been to the Duck Inn. My friend and I both ordered the Grecian Porkchops, which I specifically requested not be well done. Not only were they over cooked, but burnt on one side, which they attempted to hide by putting that side down. Never would I have expected to be served a dish like that at a restaurant the caliber of this one. Very disappointed, as were our guests (who will not come back). read more

Been going there for years and always has had great food and service the ambience is also great. Enjoy the holiday season

Great food and service, we like to try different Supper clubs and this one does not disappoints. It gets very crowded so i suggest making an early reservation. I had the filet and fried shrimp (excellent) and my husband had the prime rib. both choices were cooked to perfection. Our waitress was very attentive, drinks were also very good. We wil definetly be back read more

Great ambiance, wonderful food and exceptional service. I liked this place and would recommend stopping here even if it is a little drive.

Perfection!!! Perch is so well prepared!!! A nice martini at the bar to start, couldn't be better! Service staff is on top of it! read more

An excellent find in Elkhorn! There is a reason this quintessential Wisconsin-style Supper Club -- in the middle of nowhere -- has withstood the test of time. The food is EXCELLENT. Classic cocktails and cocktail inspired desserts abound. The Saturday night we visited the restaurant was crowded and service suffered a bit, but once the appetizers came out, the meal paced perfectly from there on. Outstanding value for the reasonable prices. PRO-TIP: They do not take reservations, but you can call ahead to have your name put in their register book so you can be seated before walk-ins. Seriously. We will definitely return. read more

The food presentation was fair at best. The most disturbing issue was that we had made a reservation fir 7:00 p.m. the reservation was confirmed and included a table number. The day of we also received a reminder of our reservation. Upon arrival at 6:45 p.m. we were advised that they do not take reservations, however, we would receive preference seating. We were not seated until 8:45, well after people that arrived after us were seated. The Duck Inn was practically empty before we were seated at a table in the bar. So much for their reservation app. Once seated the service quite slow, especially since the suppet club was practically empty. As first time diners at the Duck Inn, it is unlikely we will return any time soon, nor will we suggest this restaurant to anyone seeking a dining recommendation. read more

The Duck is an old school Wisconsin supper club. Being in the middle of nowhere it's a destination restaurant for almost everyone. Reservations definitely recommended. On Saturday night the restaurant was full and the service a tiny bit slow. No complaints. Great cocktails, fabulous food. read more

Very disappointed..used to love coming here with family but after this visit I think we will find another supper club. The relish tray had moldy vegetables. My steak was supposed to be medium rare however it was severely over-cooked..the waiter didn't bother to check back before I was through so didn't bother mentioning it. That wasn't the worst part, I would suggest asking for a table in the front room instead of the bar area and save yourself from hearing some vulgar "locker room talk" from employees at the bar. I assume they were all cooks by their attire. Perhaps why my steak was so poorly cooked. Very bad look for the restaurant. Also never was offered dessert. read more

We were in town and wanted an authentic Wisconsin supper club and we got it! The cheese and crackers were amazing. Spinach salad was just how I remembered it as a kid. My husband had the trout and raved about it. He also got the duck soup which was amazing. I had the ribs and I have had better but I honestly didn't care cause everything else was great. Enjoyed the holiday decorations and didn't care they were still up! read more

Duck Inn - Bar dining area. - Seafood Near Me - Delavan, Wisconsin

Located, like so many Wisconsin supper clubs, in the middle of nowhere, the Duck Inn delivered on all counts. From photos, I was expecting a much smaller establishment -- this place is actually fairly huge. We were lucky enough to be there on prime-rib night and it was the best I'd had in a long time. Drinks, service, everything was tops. The main dining room where we were seated was nice enough, though we might have preferred the stunning bar area, with its backlit aquarium behind the bar. read more

I would not recommend this for dinner. There are many other great restaurants in the area with better food and ambiance.

Wow really hoping for a better experience for our first time service was slow even considering hardly any in the place.food was ok at best worm not hot.all in all was disappointing hoping for the traditional supper club experience. read more

Went here based on several people recommending it. The escargot is snails in unseasonably breadcrumbs and butter, yuk, and I love escargot which is easy to prepare. Spinach salad was more cold dressing than spinach. The duck "namesake dish" tasted deep-fried and served with sauces that appeared to be out of the can pie filling. The trout almondine was Parmigiano crusted trout with almonds on top...not bad, hence the two stars, but not trout almondine either. Cute environment though. read more

HUGE Disappointment Our group of 6 was looking forward to our first time at DI. We made a reservation at 6 pm on Sunday. We didn't get seating at our table until 7:45. We were not offered an appetizer, drink or an apology. Once seated, the service was good, although they did miss serving bread, and a couple of sides we ordered, they were also out of a few things. I felt bad for the servers, there didn't seem to be anyone in charge, no manager. In fact, there was a family seated near us, two couples with three boys and a drunk uncle. The more he drank the louder he became and the boys were free to climb the fireplace trying to grab duck decoys, it was pretty chaotic. For the price point, I definitely would have expected mediocre at best, it was a fail. To top all this off, the next day, we came to find they charged us twice on our credit card. #Neveragain read more

I have been here several times but this last time we had reservations for 7pm got there at 650 didn't get seated until 800 while others who came in after were seated before us. The girl at the front desk was rude and could care less. Unorganized front desk that keeps reservations on a yellow legal pad. Everyone there seems to be burned out and have no interest in being in the service industry and act as if they are doing you a favor. Management blames the staff instead of making a remedy. Food is always consistently great but the service there gets worse after every visit with my bill always in excess of $300.00. read more

I had high hopes for our dinner there. I love classic supper clubs and read good things about the Duck Inn. However.. service was okay... waitress didn't really care....food - sorry to say - was mediocre....drinks were weak. Won't make a return trip. read more
