Haha wow oh wow, this place is a diamond in the rough! If you are into the dive bar scene, this is…read moreone of the best ones you'll find! I walked in by myself one afternoon and was immediately welcomed by a bar full of regulars and a warm and friendly bartender. I got a "hey come on in", "welcome", "I like your sweater", "this seat is open!" Right off the bat. A few local patrons "adopted" me as one of their own, even though I was just in town visiting. Drinks are cheap. And there is an outdoor area for smoking, with heat lamps in the winter. It is predominantly a Steelers bar (football), and it's where a lot of active and retired Marines go to let loose. Pool tables, darts, and video trivia are available too! I'd come back in a heartbeat! Good vibes.

Another truly outstanding experience at Duck's Bar and Grill…read more From one business owner to another, I have a deep appreciation for what you're doing here. Everything--from the atmosphere to the execution--is top tier. But what really sets you apart is your attention to detail and genuine care for your customers. Our waitress tonight, Kaila, was absolutely phenomenal. She picked up on something most people would overlook--I don't use straws--and brought my drink without one, without me even having to ask. That may seem small to some, but to me, that level of awareness and intentional service speaks volumes. It's those little things that create unforgettable experiences and separate good businesses from truly great ones. Kaila absolutely crushed it tonight, and it's clear your team is operating at a very high level. Keep doing what you're doing--you've built something special.

I could taste no blackening seasoning and the portion of meat in the pasta was incredible light. A colleague had the shrimp and grits and he said they were really good. My third colleague had the weekly special - pesto ziti. He said the meatballs were good, but the rest of the dish lacked flavor. The inside of the restaurant is divided into two with a large bar / lounge area that looked inviting. The dining side was comfortable, but dated. I would absolutely give them another try next time I'm in Jacksonville.

Nice atmosphere

But we also want good food and service. We didn't find any of that here. Some great effort and details on the pirate theme, all the way down to the door knobs in the bathrooms. There are fun pirate statues around the dining room, great for selfies. And there are skeletons and much sailing masts and sails hanging from the ceiling. But it ends there, the staff is not really engaged with the theme, no costumes or pirate accidents. Thats ok too, but we felt the staff was just over worked and too few of them. I would give them a 4 for the decor effort. The food. It was just okay, and really expensive. Priced like it was some destination themed restaurant hitting all the marks but it did not. We don't mind paying top dollar for a great meal. But this was lunch and with no alcohol (we don't drink) are bill was almost $90 for lunch. I had ordered the dry rub winds for an app. Anywhere in the world that means a dry rub on a fried or rarely baked wing and no batter. What I was saved was a chicken nugget like you'd buy in. a bag at the grocery store with maybe a tiny bit of chili powder mixed into the batter. There was no dry rub no the nuggets simply were not very good. My wife ordered a bowl of soup and ribs on the side. She liked the ribs and tangy sauce. The chicken soup had peppers in it which she can't eat. The menu said just like Mom used to make, dies your mom put peppers in her chick soup, not table pepper but actual peppers. I ordered a double cheeseburger and fries. The fries were ok. The waitress asked me how I wanted the meat, from rare to well done. I asked for medium rare, that should have some pink inside and be juicy. I received a well don burger with dried out and tasteless meat. It was served so hot that it melted through the tomato and bread on the bottom. It also came with an onion ring. That was cold limp and dripping with oil. A real disappointment for a $17 dollar burger. Last was the drink, I ordered a diet soda, it tasted like those suicide drinks 8 year old boys make when they take a little of each drink at the soda fountain to be funny and then won't drink it because it was gross.

Here's what we liked for a party of 3. *Immediate seating, and a variety of choices- low top, high top and bar. * Service was good, like honest good. Like she actually enjoyed being there. It was almost weird in a good way. * Decent draft beer list and cocktails. * The pirate vibe / decor was fun. * The hush puppies they brought out and the honey butter. Don't know you could even get these. * Fried pickles were crispy and good. * The loaded fried were different, curvy waves of potatoes and good coverage of toppings. * Daughter loved the two cocktails she had and $ price seemed reasonable. * Lots of tvs if you wanted to watch a game. Here's what could of been better: * Beer should be ice cold this was coolish. * The pretzel and beer was subpar, wouldn't recommend. * The boneless chicken reminded me of a basic Tyson chicken bite. Not good. Overall a nice hangout kind of place. I would checkout more of their menu and events.

I asked for no cilantro and no onions on my steak taco and the bar tender put my order in. I didn't see anything on the receipt saying no onion or cilantro so I asked her again if she put in no onion or cilantro and she confirmed and said that the cooks will know. I got my order and went to work. Tried to eat in my car before work and lo and behold there was cilantro and onion. If you have any food preferences or dietary restrictions just make sure to double check your food after you get it. I'm sure it was a simple mistake but it was worrisome because I had double checked with the bar tender prior to it being made.

We went here to shoot pool, they had apparently remodeled and purchased the store next door and expanded. The place looked brighter and cleaner. New looking tables, the bartender Susie was very friendly and helpful. The strike against them was their food or at least their chicken wings. They had these big drum sticks, no flats and they were over cooked and down right just plain BAD. Told the bartender she apologized and said would fix some more but they didn't have any flats again it would be the big drumsticks. We declined and asked to swap for a sandwich. The bartender apparently isn't given the permission to make such an easy decision to keep customers satisify. She had to call the manager and then we waited, and waited over an hour an a half. I finally asked for a credit to my bill, again the bartender had to call the manager. Once the manager arrived she was very nice and apologized for the issues. She credited the food. She asked for us to comeback for a better experience. I will try again and hopefully will give a better report on my next visit. Again the people were nice and the place looked good, it was just the food we ordered and the wait to resolve the issue.
