    SPICY NA drink on the patio
    Rachel A.

    The more I dine out the higher my standards come for reviews and Duffy's STILL gets a 5. There was a mistake made when we were seated on the patio as the hostess didn't leave silverware and menus when she sat us so it took a few minutes to be greeted. We had to flag someone down who thought we sat ourselves and said we needed to see the hostess. Understandable if that had been the case, but since it wasn't I couldn't help but be curious....what was his plan, then? To just ignore us all night rather than let us know? From there a different server came out, apologized profusely (even though she had never walked by and ignored us like the other server) and our service was top notch. I wish I had her name bc she was fantastic! Hate to have to describe this way...but blonde waitress who worked on the patio this past Fri night...kudos! The NA options are phenomenal and I had a spicy something or other. Sooo good! Pizza was awesome! SO. MUCH. CHEESE! Cooked to perfection, right amount of crust. I was tempted to go back again on Saturday. Patio is fantastic, cozy and relaxing without being too chill. Only feedback then is to either put more signage up about seeing a hostess or remind servers to be kinder in reminding people bc ironically we saw multiple people that either did seat themselves or were confused on where the host stand was, and both servers and bartenders weren't particularly kind with their messaging. I can only assume they are tired of it bc it happens a lot, but saw a group that almost walked out due to feeling unwelcome when they asked the wrong person about a table. Not our server. She was the best. :)

    Stopped here for a quick lunch and they took good care of us. There's inside and outside seating. Grinders, burgers and pizza are the main items. I ordered a small sausage and black olive pizza. Are you sure this isn't Wisconsin? Man was that loaded with cheese (no complaints). My wife had the red pepper hummus plate and instead of pita it is served with flatbread made from their pizza dough. It was covered in cheese! Nice selection of Michigan beers and the usual mass produced crap. Quick friendly service.

    We had a great experience at Duffy's this afternoon. We were immediately seated and our server came to take our drink orders. I was pleased that they serve Brix soft drinks and I ordered root beer. My wife ordered a small 10" Mediterranean Goddess pizza; I ordered a small 10" Big Kahuna pizza and Stuffed Mushrooms for an appetizer. The Stuffed Mushrooms were delicious. They were served before our pizzas, piping hot in a ceramic dish and covered with ooey-gooey cheese. Our pizzas arrived, hot and they were loaded. They were delicious; lots of condiments and tons of cheese. We could only eat three slices before we were full. No problem, our server provided us with a to-go box (we had them for dinner that same night). The restaurant has a great vibe, decorated to match the restaurant's name, with license plates, hub caps, the grill of an old car. It was very clean and appealing with a beautiful view of the lake from the back outdoor patio. We will definitely return.

    The pizzas here were great! This is a perfect spot for a casual and quick meal. We liked it so much our first night near we returned again the next night. Our servers were great.

    Thought it wouldn't be fair to leave a poor review since the eatery was closed when Yelp indicated it was open -- so we returned and had a good experience. We started with an appetizer of stuffed mushroom caps, and they arrived at our table piping hot and covered with ooey mozzarella cheese. Quite delicious as the stuffing consisted of cooked sausage and spices. Next we ordered two 10" pizzas: the Big Kahuna primarily with ham, pineapple and green peppers, cheese and spices, and the Mediterranean Goddess with chicken, feta and mozzarella cheese, Kalamata olives, tomatoes, a few purple onions and Greek peppers. Both tasted quite nice and came on crispy, sweet and perfectly baked pizza dough. Our server was spot-on and ever-so-cheery. It would have been nice to sit outside on the patio; however, all the tables were occupied when we arrived. Instead we sat at a comfortable wooden table inside near the elevator. The only drawback: the dirty dishes station was directly behind us and one of the servers loudly clattered and clashed the dishes and silverware as she placed them into the trays. So overall we're happy that we returned, and we thoroughly enjoyed our food. We washed the pizzas down with a diet soda and some outstanding bottled root beer made in Michigan.

    Quaint little bar and grille. One side covered in mechanics fashion with truck grade metal the other in metropolitan exposed brick. Decent burger but a sub-par salad. Very friendly wait staff, but they don't come around to check on you. Not good since us diabetic types drink a lot of water. Acceptable prices for Petosky. A cozy little treat in the downtown area. Next time through town we'll have to stop in again. 05/23

    original cream soda, very yummy!
    Cynthia R.

    The pizza was fantastic. Great spinach and artichoke dip, with prompt and friendly service.

    The pizza is very, very good.
    Tony S.

    We had a big group, so we tried pizza the heap of meats, the Hawaiian and the Al Caprese. One word: Wow. We are kind of pizza snobs, so this kind of praise doesn't come easily but I will say that their pizza is fantastic. We also highly recommend a spinach artichoke and a warm bread bowl. Mmmmmm Tasty!

    This is what you call "A view from the deck". A delicious adult beverage.
    Sasha G.

    Tonight I ordered "The Heap of Meat Pizza", loaded with pepperoni, ham, capicola, bacon, pancetta bacon, burger, sausage and added green peppers and onions. It was sooooo good. One of my new favorite places to go to. And a delicious adult beverage to go with it. The atmosphere was laid back and up beat. Ask for Stephanie as your waitress; she was awesome and was constantly checking in on us and making sure we were enjoying ourselves and our food. The chef himself, Rahfial, also made sure to come out and greet us and asked how everything was and gave us great customer service. I like to see when the person behind the art makes the time to come out to talk to his customers to see how everything is. Duffy's Garage & Grille is definitely a place you want to experience for amazing food surrounded by good people.

    Delicious pizza, great bar food, nice variety of cocktails and great service! We walked in at noon and were immediately greeted and seated by a friendly hostess. The server was helpful, punctual and friendly as well. We had a side salad which was chock full of veggies and crisp lettuce, a deal @ $6.00 to accompany the mouth watering pizza. We tried the make your own veggie and Big Kahuna personal 10 inch hand tossed pizzas, which neither of us finished and happily packed up for a snack later! Great bar vibe with exposed brick, aluminum accents and old car parts scattered about setting the scene for Duffy's Garage. Located in super cute downtown Petoskey, we will definitely go back next time we're in Petoskey.

The bar is stunning when you walk in the door and ready to serve up anything classy. Staff were all exceptionally friendly (Luke took care of me). I started with the shrimp tostadas as an app. Amazingly, lite, and fresh. It made me feel like I was eating seaside in the Baja of Mexico. Order two, you'll eat them! I was intrigued about the chop and toss salad with smoked blue cheese. That wasn't the show stealer in the salad it was these blanched heirloom, tomatoes, done in olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and herbs. The bacon adds to the smokiness, the acidity from the red onion cuts through and then the avocado, adds an extra layer of creaminess. If this salad were an Olympic sport. It would be a gold medalist! Do not leave here unless you order the salad! I saw the two words I have been looking for all vacation... sea scallops? Gnocchi Parmesan delicious perfection! Fresh herbs and interestingly enough a red sauce which was different but worked well the fresh veggies. Only drawback of the dish was there were only three scallops. They were however cooked perfectly! Presentation on food was what I would expect from a true culinary artist! Plates were wiped and not only tasted great but looked great! Get here early. This place gets packed and rockin. RSVP through open table. Doors open at 4. This is a must do experience in Petoskey! It's not cheap but it is a killer experience of class, food art, flavors, and world class service!

First disappointment was that the Brussels sprouts weren't on the menu any longer. Bummer, but as a restaurant owner I guess they weren't as popular with others as they were with us.. so we got bruschetta and some potatoes. They were just okay. I got the ribs and wings. Asked for boneless wings but I guess he misunderstood me.. no biggie. I couldn't eat the wings he did bring they were so overcooked. The ribs had too much fat, personal preference so I brought it all home and ended up throwing it away. Sister and niece got pasta. They said it was just okay. Nephew had Mac and cheese with chicken. It sounded delicious but it didn't have much cheese and (maybe he misread?) but didn't expect fried chicken tenders on top. The other two got burgers and again, they were just okay. Overcooked for sure. Another favorite burger is gone too, maybe the Texan? We ordered special martinis for dessert but they were more like a tiny milkshake. Very little if any alcohol. Being a restaurant owner I hate giving a bad review. Maybe we've just been spoiled in the past and the kitchen staff has changed? I don't think we will keep it on our list any more.
