Ducky's - duck pin bowling is fun, but is the food good? Ducky's advertises themselves as a scrap kitchen. So...it should be good, right? They don't have a very big menu. There are five entrees to go along with a small amount of burger, chicken tender and appetizer choices. I went with the burger of the month - the pizza burger. The friendly waiter said the pizza sauce was made in house from scratch. The sauce was outstanding! It was thick and sweet with a bold tomato paste taste. The bun was soft and slightly grilled with a buttery flavor - very nice! It is odd that the burger is served in halves and vertical. The burger patty was very thin and cooked to a medium well done consistency - I would prefer medium rare but they didn't ask my preference. I thought the burger was over cooked and a bit tough/crunchy on the edges. It did have and nice high quality meat flavoring as it is sourced locally. The burger was covered with grilled pepperoni. This added a nice "pizza" flavor when combined with a nice bedding of mozzarella cheese. My wife really liked her chicken tenders. They were nice and moist. The breading was unique, tasty and crispy. She said the fries were very good while the best part might have been the house fry dipping sauce. That sauce was a nice combination of southwest and traditional meat flavorings. The side salad, to replace the fries, was fresh yet very small. The salad came in a half-ball type dish that was slightly larger than half a baseball. The half ball was actually unstable to eat out of. I had to cup the bowl with one hand to keep it from tipping over. The salad had a few side tomato and pepper parts added. There just isn't much room for things in this small of a dish. We decided to try the strawberry bread pudding for dessert. This was a fantastic dish! The breading was basically two pieces of fried French toast. It was soft on the inside with a cinnamon swirl and strawberry pieces. The breading was drizzled with a thin moderately sweet strawberry flavored syrup. The syrup was accompanied by some fresh whipped cream also bathed in syrup. Overall, Ducky's does have good food. They have a limited menu at moderately expensive prices. My preference would be to sit down and enjoy the scratch made items versus squeezing them in while you bowl. Also consider dinning at Ducky's and walking across the street the Pearl Arts Center for a program. read more

It's bright and airy but also cozy. Staff is INCREDIBLY friendly and accommodating and the food And drinks were amazing. Went for brunch @ 1pm and some bowling to celebrate a birthday. Lanes are super close together (duh) so the room is limited. I recommend 2 lanes if you're doing more than 6 people. 1 hour was enough time to play one game with six people at a casual pace. Table space while you're bowling is limited so we usually bowl with drinks and a group appetizer and then move back to the tables to have an actual meal. Lots of fun with good food in a friendly atmosphere. Get the blood Mary "all dressed up" (yeah I know it's $24 but it's well worth it) We tried the Crying Johnny Smashburger (tastes like POWERS used to. IYKYK), the chicken TENDIES, and the red velvet pancakes they have for brunch. We drank the PB & J old-fashioned, a Paloma and that bloody Mary that I would seriously consider trading my teenager for. Today was our 2nd time in 2 months and we plan on going back sooner than later. Give it a shot. You won't be disappointed. read more

If we weren't visiting in the cold weather I may have walked out, front desk staff def not a vibe. We wanted to bowl and eat but we weren't sure how it worked, never been. Not friendly and no lanes available, okay so we will eat. Mediocre smash burgers, tight seating arrangements legit asked the table next to us if we could join them joking. If you grab a drink at the bar or make a reservation I'm sure it would be a better experience. Server was kind and price was fair. Visiting for a gymnastics meet in the area one mom one child $28 for a kids meal burger meal and a beer so fair price. read more

Ducky's - Johnny single - American Near Me - Fort Wayne, Indiana

Our server Mia went out out of her way to bring another birthday candle over because she saw me taking a picture of just my husband and our kids for his bday and wanted one with me in it. So many times the moms are never in the photos. Above that everyone was kind and attentive. Super fun spot for families read more

Ducky's - Bowling lanes - American Near Me - Fort Wayne, Indiana

Stopped by to talk play duck pin bowling. The couches for the games were great, the prices were great, the service was great. Why did I give them a 3... because of the liquor selection. 5 of us got drinks and they were all a little gross. Wish they just had something besides planteray rum, it wasn't good. But the decor was great! read more

We were in downtown and decided to try this place. It was very quiet and our server quickly took our order. My son had the crying burger and my son didn't like the caramelized onions. I had the Bayou Rigatoni and it was delicious and with plenty of shrimp and andouille. My wife had the buffalo wings and they were huge and delicious. We will try it out again to play bowls with friends. The environment is very relaxing and sporty, where you can watch your favorite games while you eat or play. read more

Stopped by here for bowling and drinks and had the best time. Try their feta dip! Guacamole was really good too!

Ambiance is great, duckpin bowling while eating is a good time! The food was pretty good and great drinks. Not my favorite steak, lacked flavor and a bit chewy but everything else was very good. The sandwiches had a good sauces on top and fries were crispy. Service was quick! read more

The food was phenomenal - some of the best chicken tenders I've ever had. And probably one of the best cheeseburgers in town. Service is always incredible! read more

Where to start? The service was fantastic! Our server, Carly, was attentive, asked about allergies, accommodated the kids well, and was always checking on us. The environment is fun, relaxed, and very family friendly. During our time (we brought our four kids) we noticed several other families with kids and babies. It's a place where you feel your whole family is welcome. The areas for bowling are comfortable, clean, and spacious enough for a family of 6. Now on to the food... Everything we had was 10/10, but my favorite was the chicken tenders. They were moist, well portioned and the seasoning was fantastic. I could talk about them all day. We also had the feta dip which was delicious paired with bread, and chips and guacamole. My husband had a Bloody Mary to drink and I tried one of their NA drinks, which was refreshing and still made me feel like I had a nice mixed drink in my hand. My husband and I are already talking about the next time we will be back and will absolutely be recommending this place to all our friends and family. read more

Never been, didn't know a Duck pin from a Cricket spear. Had so much fun with our friends we are still talking about it the next day!! Food is good quality, nice portions and well prepared. Our Server, Mitchell was Tops ! Held our hand the whole way, super supportive, thanks. I kicked butt in the Duck Pin action so the night was 5 star. Like bowling you get up and down a lot but anybody can play ! I am going to return read more

I was a patron last Sunday. We had an eight top which was initially intended as six people, some I did not know, showed up! I want to apologize to our exceptional server "Elise"!! Elise was more than exceptional. Our table included many with food allergies. They failed to notify Elise. Elise ran ragged! She was patient, thoughtful, kind, despite some who did not exhibit kindness nor appreciation toward her. Elise was actually the bar tender we observed! Our table was at the front! This is a long building: Elise also had to tend a lane! What on earth kind of management is this place? Who would force a bartender (one), to tend a table as large as ours at the front, meanwhile this one person must run all the way to the back to ensure all patrons have drinks, all while she must also serve a bowling lane?? This place is governed by illogic! These owners should hide their head in embarrassment! Recently, I brought some business partners on a weekend day and the place was closed for a party! What restaurant/bowling alley closes its door to the general public for a party on the weekend? Lunacy! Thank you Elise! You are the one bright light in this facility! You carried it - ALONE! Most restaurants similar, such as Union Social have three bartenders for such a size facility! Please reeducate management! Where were they to pick up the slack? I did see a man at a podium doing nothing! That is, until he went after our server to berate her! Won't be back, nor will the seven others at our table! Heading over to the much less expensive, well run, more consistent Pinhouse Social! There, I don't have to observe incompetent leadership! read more

If they had a negative star. I made an online reservation for an alley. An hour and half before my scheduled time, I get a text that they canceled my reservation. I tried calling three times...they never answered! Called for the forth time and some guy answered and said they overlapped lanes and they canceled my reservation because the online reservations were not keeping up. He offered nothing for my canceled plans. I asked if my 'holding fee' would be refunded, he said yes but why didn't they offer a credit, another time slot, gift card for inconvenience? I now how zero faith in the online reservation for this place. They beg for business then cancel and give preference to others. read more

Our server I think his name was Charlie was amazing. The service was great, didn't get any cold but I'm sure it was good too. Customer service from Charlie was amazing read more

The atmosphere was amazing and the staff was friendly but they could work on their food. My fries were way undercooked. The tomatoes on our salad were overripe and watery. My burger was yummy but the patty could have been bigger for the price. read more

We stopped in after an event at The Pearl. Open 3 weeks - excellent service from Madi, excellent food. We didn't bowl but that's on the list. Such a fun place! read more

Great decor and fantastic bar! Quiet evening but make this a stop for duck pin bowling with a group and a few beers with a burger at the bar. We sat at the bar, split a salad and each had a burger which was spot on. Service attentive, food good, and will be back. Give it a try, won't disappoint! read more

Excellent food and atmosphere. My wife and I's new favorite place. Staff is friendly also. We got the classic burgers this time and the nachos for appetizer. Very fresh. read more
