    I had dinner here last night while visiting Windom. From the outside this restaurant has a nice look with its wooden exterior sitting right next to 2nd Avenue which is the main drag through town. Duffy's has an outdoor patio out front but I chose to sit inside. They have a nice looking bar and other dining rooms available inside and I bet this is probably the best place in town to eat. I decided to go with the petite sirloin (7 oz.) and of the potato choices for the included side dish I asked for the loaded potato for $15. I had them add sautéed mushrooms to the steak for another $1.50 and a side salad for another $3. First to arrive was the salad. It was quite large and was actually too big for the plate it was served on. Some of my salad wound up falling on the table simply because it was overflowing. I had to be careful with each forkful to not spill any more which I did. The small container of ranch dressing that came with it just wasn't near enough so I asked my waitress for another container which she provided. The salad and dressing were pretty good and a real value for $3 considering it's size. About 10 minutes later the entree arrived. The steak was cooked to order and with the mushrooms had a nice flavor to it. The baked potato came with a container of sour cream and butter on the side and the potato had cheese and bacon it it. Also, they provided a bread stick. Finally my table service was good. Overall it was a good tasting meal that I would rate as a 3.5 and round up to a 4 for Yelp purposes but I won't. When I was presented the bill I noticed two discrepancies. First that loaded baked potato cost $2 more. They didn't mention that on the menu. All it said was that bakers are available after 5 p.m. Nothing about the extra cost. Second there was a .75 cent charge for the extra salad dressing. In both cases my waitress never mentioned either charge. The baked potato should be listed on the menu as costing extra and I would have still ordered it. But the extra charge for that little salad dressing container? Don't serve such a big salad without providing enough salad dressing. Had I not added the extra dressing the salad would have been too dry to eat. The waitress should have mentioned both but she didn't. To the owner/manager stop nickel and diming us! It reflects poorly on your establishment. This is why I give a 3 overall. Diners beware!

    We almost missed this place while driving on the highway and lucky for us, we made a quick decision to stop because this place blew the socks off of all three of us. For only opening 12 weeks ago (sometime in July?) one would expect some bumps that need to be worked out, but this was not even minutely the case. There are three other locations but this is naturally the newest. Beautiful exterior and interior mirroring a log cabin...the bar, which was made locally, was exquisite. Plenty of tables, bar space, and seating for large groups or families or a few individuals. The staff was all very friendly and welcoming. It doesn't happen very often that you are genuinely greeted, waited on, and sent on your way with a warm smile. Several people throughout the meal came over to make sure that the food was ok. And yes, the food was exceptional. Three of us split an order of onion rings that were crispy and not greasy or soggy, a 1/2 order of wings, and a green olive burger (with a layer of tapenade and cream cheese). We each got a side salad (iceberg lettuce unfortunately) and we left feeling full, borderline stuffed, meaning we ordered the perfect amount of food. The menu was surprisingly diverse given the nature of the restaurant, It consists of burgers, sandwiches, standard appetizers, Mexican food, and bar bites. Several TVs are mounted throughout the place, which if you come during an NFL game, will undoubtedly be playing. In fact, there are Vikings game day specials (but...go Pack!). It was packed on a Sunday night that we went and there wasn't even that big of a game on, so that must tell you something about the quality. It felt like we were the only out-of-towners in the place. They have a happy hour from 3-5pm Monday-Friday, but I didn't quite catch what the deals are. Amazingly clean bathrooms and the whole place didn't have a speck of dust or food spilled. The air conditioner probably didn't need to be blasted since the three of us were shivering while the other side room was nice and toasty, but I admit it's hard to predict a late-September evening temperature around here. All in all, Duffy's significantly exceeded our expectations and we all three agreed that we hope to be back in the very near future. PS. Enjoy the witticisms on the wall; i.e. what does one think after 6 shots of tequila? ... they don't know either.

    This roadside bar and grill is a great place to stop when you are on the road. We learned it had only been open 12 weeks and also that there are other locations! We decided to share a green olive and cream cheese burger along with, half a dozen wings, and each of us had a dinner salad. It was a great idea so we didn't overstuff ourselves and so that we each got a taste of the food. We started with the onion rings and in hind sight we should have had the dinner salad first, so we could have all the hot food together. Nevertheless, the onion rings were a welcomed sight since we were all hungry! They were clearly fresh, and not super greasy. They were accompanied by a seasoned sour cream and were nice and hot! We received our burger, salads, and wings. The burger was tasty (but kind of messy-as you would expect with cream cheese on it). The salad was iceberg lettuce, and wings are always messy...but it was all good and hit the spot! The bar is really cool it looks about 4" thick, made from a tree. There are a lot of fun sayings on all the walls and there are a good number of high top tables in the bar area and more seating of low-top tables in the dining area where it is more family-friendly. My biggest complaint is that it was absolutely freezing in the bar area where we sat, it was not like this in the dining area. Our service was good. In addition the bartender checked on us and so did the manager.

Last Friday was a date night for me and Gayle, as we opted to try for kick ass meal out here at the Hi-Lo Club just outside Lakefield. The restaurant and bar was about a 30 minute drive from the family cabin on the East Shore of Spirit Lake (Orleans) and with a lot less traffic that any fine dining choice almost as far on West Lake Okoboji. Our only regret was that we opted not to go downstairs to the Speakeasy after dinner, where live music was in full swing. The only irritation (if that) was a fairly loud bride and friends dinner a couple tables over. But I quibble as Gayle and I thoroughly enjoyed our romantic evening together within our cozy booth. Here's what we ordered: - Bombay Sapphire Martini (Up/Olives) and then a Malbec (Gayle). - Mocktail (Cranberry Pom Spritz) and then a Sauvignon Blanc (Eric) - Filet Beef Tenderloin with Asparagus and Caesar Salad (Gayle) - Canadian Walleye with Caesar Salad and Wild Rice Pilaf. - Coffee (Eric) and a shared piece of Champagne Cake (See Picture). Our Caesar Salads and Gayle's steak were outstanding. My Walley was excellent, but I wanted more of what Gayle was enjoying. The cake was of course icing on our evening. Total tab? About $160 with tax and tip. Special kudos to our great (and very busy) waitress and the Prohibition-era atmosphere. We only visit the Iowa Great Lakes once in the Summer, so look for us to be back here next year.

    Good food at a reasonable price. Great service, nice atmosphere. We're looking forward to returning…read moreto the Hilo club.

I will…read moresay that I think it is as good as I expected it to be, but I always hope it'll be better thus I am not leaving a 5-star review. Fried pickles spears with the rock n roll sauce were great. I wouldn't have ordered these except my server recommended them out of all the apps, so I went with that. Fried things at places like this usually lack flavor and are just salty, fried bar food. These had some kick. The rock n roll sauce was like a Mayo with Frito's Chili Cheese Twists, so they were yummy. Tilapia on wild rice was ok, but it's tilapia, so how amazing can it be, right? Broccoli wasn't too over cooked and it still had a healthy green color, so I was happy with that. And the fries were a tad greasy, but they came out hot and crunchy. I think if they let the oil drain off them a bit more under a heat lamp, they'd hold their crispness a bit longer. Oh, and it was an entire plate of fries, so portions were generous. Lastly, everything was served very quickly. The place wasn't super-busy, but it wasn't dead and I was happy about the timeliness. I ordered an app first then placed an order for my entree after munching on that. And I was out done in 45 minutes. Granted, I was eating alone, but still. If you enjoy meat, I highly recommend giving this place a shot. I am a pescatarian (mostly vegetarian) and I have a sneaking suspicion that their beef and chicken options have much more developed flavors.

I'm sorry it wasn't a pleasant visit, and I'd like to make it right with you. Would you happen to know who waited on you and your mom? This way I can talk to them and correct what they did wrong. If you send me your address, I can send you out some coupons and a gift card for your next visit, that can be used at any Hardee's." I then sent her the information that she asked for on September 11th. And as of today, I have heard nothing or received my coupons/gift card. NEVER AGAIN!!!
