Stopped in while visiting southern Maine. We ordered the French dip and a grilled chicken handheld sandwich. Both were great but we absolutely agreed the French dip stole the show. Billy was our server and she was fantastic and gave great feedback. Will definitely stop in again. Not 100% certain if accessible and we parked along side street (2 hour parking spot) and you walked in Through the back which seemed odd but the door dropped you right into the dining area. All in all good experience. Onion rings were fantastic and the fries tasted good and homemade(?) but could be a bit crisper (IMO). read more

I want to love Duffy's so badly, but I just don't. I have never had anything here that left me feeling satisfied. The veggie burger is horrendous (try sebago or Crotux for a solid one), and other items are just meh. The bar program is also pretty bleak, with the drinks being unimaginative and leaning towards sweet. The bar is large and the bartenders and servers are always super nice, but the ambiance is not that of a place I want to sit at the bar and hang out. In my opinion, this building and space has soo much potential as an awesome divey sports bar, but they just don't deliver. There are plenty of items I have never had, so I can't speak to everything, but I have been many times and have always felt the same. read more

My bride wanted a burger. Away we went to Duffy's Tavern to grab an early dinner. Surprise surprise the restaurant was closed due to no heat. Their heating system broke. Oh well off to another restaurant. read more

Came for dinner. There was a wait. We sat at the bar instead. Good crowd, We made friends with the people next to us! Great conversation ! Great atmosphere. Meatloaf dinner with mashed potatoes. Asparagus Drink. Shrimp.Scampi in a Garlic Butter Sauce. Prosecco to drink. The meatloaf was very good and so was the Asparagus! The mashed potatoes tasted very heavy, not light and fluffy. The shrimp scampi was dissapointing. First off, it wasn't seasoned at all. I had to put a lot of salt and parmesan cheese to get some taste but it was hard to do that because the pasta was drenched in broth as if it was soup! It was soo watery and unflavored but I was so hungry, I ate it. But it was very dissapointing. We want to come back and try the beef tips and the Orange chicken. Next time we're in town, maybe we give them another chance. read more

Don't let the outside of the building fool you! What a great place to have lunch. They have the best potato chips I've ever eaten in my life! They fry it there! The burgers and caprese panini was very good! Service was great too read more

Great food, very much variety and has everything, always clean. Service is usually good but there's been a few times it's been off putting. Overall 4/5 read more

We went to Raptor Falls mini golf and there was a coupon on the scorecard for Duffy's, so we decided to check it out. Unfortunately, I really didn't enjoy my meal at all. I ordered a cocktail and the ahi seared tuna rice bowl. My drink was VERY watery. The fish was overcooked and the sesame crust was burnt and too thick. The rice was really the only good thing about the dish, and it was just plain rice. My girlfriend enjoyed her burger and drink, which keeps me from giving this place a 1, but I wouldn't go back. read more

The food is good and a good bar. Family favorite food. A great support for the community. Best meatloaf and turkey dinner. They do a good job . read more

Just average, service was just ok. You can do better. Food was eh at best. Service just didn't care to ask us about much including drinks, was food ok, did we need anything else, like ketchup for fries and burger. read more

Duffys is a classic neighborhood bar / tavern, with friendly service and something on the menu for everyone! We live in town and Duffys is one of our go-to spots for a tasty bite and some beers. If you visit during happy hour, drafts are $1 off :) We love love their soft pretzels, fried pickles and chicken tenders - we always have to start our meal with one of those! For entrees you really can't go wrong! I love their fried seafood (scallops are my go-to), their sandwiches (the French dip is my fave) and their personal pizza (classic pepperoni for me!). If you save room they have a ridiculous (in a good way) ice cream sundae served in one of those nostalgic glass goblets. If you're in visiting from out of town, Duffys is a super option for a group because the menu offers a variety to choose from. Also - though it can get quite busy it's not as insane as some of the options down in dock square. I recommend visiting Duffys, enjoying a cold beer, and eating a good hearty meal. read more

Duffy's Tavern & Grill - Fish tacos and a pepperoni personal pizza - love them!! - American Near Me - Kennebunk, Maine

Great menu and excellent service. I am always pleased with Duffy's. Never any regrets when going there. Highly recommend.

Went here for our first time today for lunch. Everything... the service, the atmosphere, and most importantly the food, was excellent. I got the turkey dinner, and my wife got a chicken sandwich. Very generous portions, fair prices, and excellent quality. We will look forward to our next meal here. read more

A chance stop on our way south landed us at Duffy's for a midweek lunch. A cool restored building by a waterfall lured us in. We told the hostess we had been on the road a bit and she led us right to a booth. Our waitress brought cold drinks quickly and our food was also prompt. The burger was done with just the right amount of pink and plenty of fries. The chicken wrap has several choices for seasoning and the Thai chili was a nice balance of sweet and spicy. The house chips were crisp and a good thickness for maximum flavor without too much salt. Both portions were large and we each took half home... Dinner after a long time on the highway meant we appreciated Duffy's even more! We will be back just to explore the area and enjoy more food! read more

Excellent Food, great service and charming pub atmosphere with awesome bar. Not only was the food good but it was consistently good. Our first dinner at Duffy's was excellent so we returned for a second meal a few days later and the food was just as good. read more

The salad was delicious. The lobsters were great. The food and drinks came fast. The server was helpful and friendly. The restaurant is not very clean. The table was not clean and there is dust on windows and shades. The restaurant charges 20% tip. I prefer to tip when I want to and how much I want to. read more

Even though the service was nice, the server actually stopped over several times because we were too busy chatting and had not made up our mind. It was nice family type restaurant but the food was really not up to the par. Maybe a pizza or burger there is nice. We got nachos and boy was it dry! I would go back only if I need to have a drink with a friend, but then I would prefer to drink at GSB. Sorry, Duffys is not for me. ‍ read more

It's where the locals go so you know you won't be disappointed. Huge bar. We loved the seafood items on the menu. Burger was awesome. Played Trivia and came in 2nd place. Great quiz. We will be back to win! read more

On a family vacation at Kennebunkport, and I saw Duffy's Tavern & Grill on our way to our hotel. What a pleasant experience we had! The location is a little sketchy-looking - a brick building with lots of business offices made me think we were at the wrong place. We came in at 5ish on a Monday so the place only had a few patrons - but by the time we left, most of the seats were starting to fill. The staff was friendly and helpful. The food we ordered were pretty good. I ordered the garlic Parmesan wings for apps. Very garlicky with big pieces of Parmesan. My wife ordered the loaded nachos as her main - a heavy serving of tricolored tortilla chips loaded with chicken, cheese, green peppers, and jalapeños, with sour cream, salsa, and guacamole on the side. Only negative is the chicken was pretty bland. And it can't be a trip to Maine without some lobster rolls, right? Market price wasn't terrible ($24.99 as of April 2023) and the huge chunks of lobster made the price easy to swallow. The kids ordered buttered noodles - huge portions for a kids plate - which the son gobbled up, but the picky daughter barely touched. Overall, Duffy's is a cool spot worth checking out. read more

Our group of seven (four adults, three kids) were greeted warmly one very busy Friday with a young man who said, "Of course, we can find room for you"! Handsome, comfortable decor with food as excellent as the service. Needless to say, we were overwhelmed with gratitude for this dining adventure and will definitely return. read more

I can't believe they wanted to up charges me for some cheese for my pretzel appetizer. The food was mediocre and the 16.00 drink even less impressive!! Will not go back! read more

Started with the pretzel and cheese appetizer - yum. The hot honey chicken sandwich and burger were delicious. Erika our server was attentive and friendly. Manager was checking on tables as well. We went around 1:30 pm on a Friday and was not too busy for a relaxing meal. Located near Main Street - lots to see! read more

Excellent service and amazing food. We came to visit the New England area and we're on a mission to try all the chowder we could. This spot won hands down after touring the region for 5 days. We also had the lobster roll and much to our surprise gluten free bread was an option. And this place did NOT skimp on the lobster! Very casual dining, pub like atmosphere. We loved it. read more

Pleasantly surprised at this tavern in a former factory setting. I had the haddock tacos which were fresh and delicious. Add ons are many. My wife had the fish sandwich and she wished that she had chosen something else. Server was a 10/10. Can be loud as it's a tavern. read more

Not bad at all. Stopped here for lunch with the fam and weren't sure what to expect as we were just being tourists in town walking around... the food was pretty good, tasty and enjoyable. Indoors is pretty casual bar/tavern vibe. Service was kind of slow. read more

I was happy to snag Duffy's tonight to go! I wasn't able to get a picture of my husbands food prior to him eating it all. I ordered the turkey dinner and boy was it delicious! The turkey was fall off the bone, as well as flavorful. Priced right and was still hot after the 25 min ride home. read more

Decently priced mediocre food. Whole belly clams were on the menu I saw online but was disappointed to find they weren't once we got there. I went with the fried scallops- they were weird too greasy maybe? I was packing up the food and found under the fries was soaked with grease. Everyone else seemed to enjoy their meals- my kids actually ate a lot. It was fine but I was disappointed. Server was so slow but food came out quick. Chowder was overly priced $9 for a cup? read more

Stopped here tonight coming thru Kennebunk, Maine. very welcoming asked if we had a reservation, we said no. Do we need one? The hostess offered two spots so we chose the bar. I ordered the vegetable stir fry with shrimp, my husband had his usual chicken parmigiana. The restaurant was very clean and my husband said the bathroom was extremely clean. The food was very good and priced reasonably. All staff wore masks at all times, and everything cleaned as soon as someone left. read more

Solid 3, been here twice, they have extra parking around the corner, not just street. They have tables, booths and pleny of seating around the bar. The bar area has a few tvs, free popcorn to munch on. Food is decent, and cant complain about much except sometimes the service can be slow or inattentive. Laid back atmosphere. They do offer a happy hour selection of local brews and a cocktail list. Clean bathrooms. read more

Food was okay. Service was slow. Did not see much of our waitress, but it could have been an off day. We went on a weekday at lunch time in April so it was not super busy. Limited Gluten free options. read more

Enjoyed haddock , trivia and drinks- fun night! Husband enjoyed his meal , drinks and trivia too.

We are local and were very excited for a new chef and menu a few years ago (Great loction) but, once again, you have become complacent and things are going in the wrong direction! The food two years ago was amazing, best pizza in town, everything was good (Except that orange chicken! ) and we enjoyed ordering in and when covid hit, ordering take out until about 8 mos ago, something has changed. Soggy pizza, over seasoned food, cold food, terrible lobster roll (4oz??) for the exorbitant price, we could've gone to a local food truck and got better! I hope you get back to what you were doing or we are going to have to move on! read more

Duffy's Tavern & Grill - Anemic Lobster Roll WITH LETTUCE???Not traditional and Seriously, 23.99, very disappointed. - American Near Me - Kennebunk, Maine

Convenient location in downtown kennebunk. Nice bar set up with plenty of TVs. Food is a step above typical tavern food. Delicious soft bread with oil as a complimentary appetizer. Steak and cheese wrap was yummy with crispy onion rings. Orange chicken tasted good, but not quite the same as a Panda Express. It used Fried chicken tenders as opposed to dark thigh meat. A decent selection of local beer. read more
