They had a variety of choices. We did not know what to get as everything sounded good. I got the Springfield signature dish - the Horseshoe Sandwich which was delicious! My companions got a burger, Potato Soup, Wings, and catfish. Do not miss out on their cobbler! The crust was perfection! Also, make sure to get the Sweet Tea. It's made in house and is the right amount of sweet. We all had our fill! On top of it all our server was so kind and welcoming and friendly! She made sure our sweet tea was always filled. The place itself is spacious. The outdoor space looked like it could be a lot of fun in the evening.

Mixed review. My best friend & I stopped on our way to Garden of the Gods. She had a BLT & fries &…read moreshe said it was good. I ordered a Philly Cheese steak sandwich, fries & fried jalapeños (because I had never heard of them) the fried jalapeños were way way too salty, the meat on the cheese steak had no flavor, no seasoning at all, it was cold & the the texture was off putting. The fries were also too crispy for me but I will own that one. I didn't specify to make them softer. And my meal alone... almost $30 bucks!!! The waitress took too long to take our drink order & then seemed rushy to get our order. She seemed more concerned with working the customers at the bar. She wasn't rude, just inattentive. The decor was awesome tho & it was peaceful in there. The bathrooms were very nice & clean with funny signs. It will not be a repeat experience for me.

I want to start this off by saying I called in an order and spoke to someone named Diane. I'm…read morepretty sure that was her name. It could have been Dianna but I'm not positive. Please forgive me for forgetting such a memorable experience. I ordered chicken strips, fries with cheese sauce and some wings. I had a bad case of the munchies. I asked Diane to please keep the chicken strips soft. I have a problem with over cooked chicken strips. Let me tell you Diane delivered better chicken strips than I have ever had in my life. They were cooked perfectly. I'm used to eating Dino Nuggets but these chicken strips were heavenly. The cheese sauce on the fries. Unbelievably, tasty. The wings were good too but I will always remember this place for the perfectly cooked chicken strips and that cheese sauce. I live on the other side of the country otherwise, I would probably eat here every day. Thank you Diane and The Duck Inn Bar & Grill. Please don't change the quality of those chicken strips and that cheese sauce!
