    Two eggs with sausage and potatoes
    Tim P.

    Stopped on our way out of Homer for breakfast. Glad we did. Breakfast and place were great. Located in an older diner that looks authentic Alaska. After coffee we all ordered. My wife and I got the pick three breakfast. Others got the oatmeal, and another chicken fried steak with eggs. Everyone's eggs were perfectly over easy. My wife loved her biscuit and gravy. She said one of best biscuits she has eaten. Others loved their oatmeal with nuts and berries. The chicken fried steak with white gravy was good. Our server was good and kept on top of us.

    Absolutely fantastic. I'm not really sure why this place has a 3 1/2 star rating. We got the schooner which my wife absolutely loved. I got the chicken fried steak. I'm used to a cubed steak but here at Duncan you get an actual legit steak smothered in delicious sausage gravy! This is a must stop in Homer

    One of my favorite things to do while traveling is dining at local breakfast joints, not necessarily always the places spoken and written about the most. I walked by this place a few times and the aroma was definitely drawing me in. The parking lot was always pretty packed too. Yet, the overall Yelp rating was a cause for pause. I am so happy that I followed my instincts or my "gut" in this case , as it was a terrific experience - atmosphere, food, service and prices were all top-notch. I had the biscuits and gravy with reindeer sausage and eggs. Having lived in "the south" for about the last 25 years, I have become really fond of biscuits and gravy and this is one of the best I've ever had. The service was attentive, responsive and sweet. Finally, I just really loved the vibe.

    It's AK, it's the Last Frontier, you're in Homer, at the end of the freaken road -- we can probably agree to cut Duncan House a little slack and that's something I rarely if ever do but really this isn't some culinary capital of the world. I wasn't here expecting the most insane delish brekke I've ever consumed, it's a freaken diner people! No outside drinks allowed in, stopped me in my tracks. I tend to like to get coffee from a coffee shop and if I'm eating a sit down brekke, I'll bring it along. Not in this part of town, the sign is posted on the door but I missed it so we sipped our lattes out front until we were finished and ready to head indoors. I suppose with the way this trip was going, during this shoulder season with everything closed - I could have had a cup full of something way stronger than an oat latte from next door. I had the biscuit with gravy and eggs and bacon. Finished every last bite. My friend had the reindeer sausage plate, I tried a bite and left it in my napkin. I'll leave reindeer to decor around my house during the month of December. We were the only ones in there first thing in the morning, then a couple came in later. We were sat immediately and service was great. You'll be hard pressed to find open places to dine in this time of year, so if brekke or lunch is what you're looking for in a sit down environment this is a solid choice.

    Everything was so good. We got biscuits and gravy, bacon and eggs. The biscuits were perfection and gravy was amazing! Not over priced, Good food, friendly, fast service and nice atmosphere.

    Wow we had the best breakfast had to wait 25 minutes but I would have waited 45 to eat here! Great service and neat atmosphere- my wife and I split a breakfast burrito and the garden scramble! Yummy!

    Good prices and the High Protein breakfast was good.

    This was our first meal when we got to Homer. We had a very early flight from Fairbanks to get here and didn't get a chance to have breakfast so we were famished and needed to eat. First thing I found in yelp was Duncan House Diner and I am glad we gave it a try. First, for all the keto peeps, they have a High Protein breakfast which is what I ate. I love it when restaurants offer carb free options without having to go a la carte. The dish consisted of eggs with cheese, ham and reindeer sausage. I did get a side of hollandaise so it felt like eating Eggs Benedict without the English muffin. My dad had a biscuit and gravy dish and it looked good. Our meal was good and they kept the coffee flowing. The service was good. Our waitress was friendly and the let us sit and relax while eating and didn't make us feel rushed. Decor was like and old country diner feel. Very nice start to a great vacation.

    Cinnamon Roll

    My husband and I were looking for a good place to have breakfast together on our last morning in Homer. The food was delicious and ALL the staff was incredible. They made sure our coffee was always topped off and made us feel welcomed. There was a sweet, young gentleman (not sure his name, but had a ponytail) working hard and really did a great job. He made sure we had everything we needed and went out of his way to check to see if they had any cinnamon rolls, that I'd been craving. It was delicious! My husband had the chicken fried steak and he said it's the best he's ever had (that's a bold statement)! Thank you Duncan House Dinner!

    The food was delicious and the staff was friendly. It was a great place to go after spending a day…read morein the rainy Homer weather by the sea. It was warm and inviting with a beautiful view of the Homer horizon.

    Holy WOW! Small establishment in Homer- not a ton of seating but enough. Seat yourselves, they come…read moretake your order. The service was excellent! We started with apps- the Fresh Rolls (vegetarian/vegan) are done beautifully, but the star was the cilantro herb dressing/dip on the side was amazing- I tried to get the recipe but they weren't giving it up! I'd buy it by the bottle! The crab Rangoon were enjoyed (I don't eat them but two of the diners ate them all and loved them). The steam pork dumplings were delicious- tender, flavorful, not gummy at all. Light but filling! For main meals- Clear Tom Yum soup with shrimp: excellent flavor! Lots of shrimp and mushrooms and the perfect balance of heat and flavor. I adore good Tom Yum and struggle to find it on the Peninsula but this is one of the two best I've had worldwide. Pad Chow Mein- we got one chicken and one pork. The meat was a touch dry, but there was a decent amount of nice, light broth/sauce in the bottom. The noodles were perfect and tons of great veggies. Pad Prik Gluer Tofu- I'm not a tofu fan and even I loved this! The crispy shallots/onions were amazing (also needs to be sold by the buck!) and overall just killer flavor. Garlic Chicken- this one has some allergies so they made sure to leave off soy/gluten for us. The fried garlic on top was wonderful and the perfect texture addition, and everything was fresh and steamed perfectly. The Thai Iced Teas were fantastic as well, rich and creamy and still light. A simple Jasmine hot tea worked nicely for the rest of us. We will be back and will definitely be bringing friends. Large portions, excellent quality and great service- The whole Peninsula needed this place!
