Couldn’t get a servers attention to order food, so we don’t know how the food is. We left after 10 minute and will not be back again.

The atmosphere at The Dirty Duck is easily the best part. You get people from all walks of life here, which gives it a true neighborhood pub feel and great energy. It’s casual, welcoming, and unpretentious, making it a fun place to spend an evening whether you’re with friends or just stopping in for a drink.
They have pool tables and darts, which adds to the laid back vibe and makes it a great spot to hang out for a while rather than just popping in for one drink. The building itself has a lot of character, and the overall setting feels comfortable and relaxed.
The food is standard pub food. It’s not terrible and it’s not amazing, but it’s good enough if you’re there mainly for drinks, games, and atmosphere. Overall, this place really shines because of the vibe, the crowd, and the experience, and for that alone, it’s worth checking out.

Stopped in for a quick beer on a Saturday afternoon. Loved the atmosphere. Very warm and enjoyable on a cool day.

A sit down with a cold beer, a good chat & maybe some pool sorta place.
Have gone a few times & always enjoyable.
This time was early afternoon with my sister for a beer & a snack (pickled egg). Have always received good service (thanks Nadine) & food has been tasty.
+ I’m pretty sure the building is haunted, who doesn’t like an eerie vibe.
Will stop in again.

Reg and Marilyn had Thanksgiving Dinner at the Dirty Duck Yesterday Afternoon. It was like being at Home with a generous portion of Turkey served to the Table with a Smile and all the trimmings. Pumpkin Pie with Whipped Cream was included. It was very delicious and the Price, $25.00! Truly Home Cooking. Thank you Folks.
The Dirty Duck is one of those places you go because you know you’re going to have a good time. It’s not about polished service or a five-star dining experience—it’s about the laid-back vibe, the regulars, and the fun that always seems to follow. Every time we go, we end up laughing, catching up, and enjoying ourselves.
Don’t expect over-the-top service (and honestly, that’s part of the charm), but do expect a comfortable spot where you can relax and let loose. If you’re looking for fancy, this isn’t it—but if you’re looking for fun nights and good memories, the Dirty Duck never disappoints.

I have been here before and the experience was lovely but unfortunately the experience last night was not. I’m giving two stars because the server was doing her best considering she was the only one working the whole restaurant/bar and the food was great. The unfortunate part was the whole place smelled like an ashtray..and not just a little, ALOT. My eyes and lungs burned just being in there. I lost my appetite pretty quickly and couldn’t finish my meal not to mention it took 45 minutes just for us to get our bill. Won’t be going back anytime soon. Dirty Duck, you may need to figure out your ventilation system. It was horrible. I couldn’t imagine someone going in there actually being allergic to smoke.
A nice cozy place to meet friends. We go there every couple of months to catch up with old friends and solve the cities and countries problems!

Stopped in after a festival. Service was quick and good but the place is beaten down pretty bad and they really didn't know how to mix drinks. I'm sure it's a great place to hang out with neighbors and such but I personally wouldn't to back. Waitress were very kind and quick though so awesome experience that way.
