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.

Dropped in for a couple of beers on our way out for dinner, awesome service (thanks Nadean!). Fried Chickpeas a great snack and a well poured Guinness. Bonus points for the music.

As I entered there was a table with the open window. It as so nice, private little corner. Server was so quick on approaching and was very nice and did her job well. Was there to get to know people and not just a job.

The food was the best I have had including Calgary for a long time. Everything made by had with fresh ingredients is hard to come by these days and the dirty duck nailed it to the tee.

The wait for the food is so worth it. I will be going back for sure.

My roommate led me to this little treasure. Tavern style and decore. Specials available daily. Food was surprisingly good as was the price point. Some food are better then others but that is to be expected. I find the service a tad slow for a fast pace life style but I don't think its from lack of effort so much as maybe they need more servers? Music ranges depending on whose running shop on the day. Darts. Pool table. TV sports.

I highly recommend the chicken strips, beef dip and pigs in a blanket pizza. If you like these foods normally you will love them here.

We were excited to go back to Dirty Duck but were really disappointed to discover that the quality has gone down hill. the worse was the excessive amount of salt in all our dishes. As we left we peaked in the kitchen to see the cook with no netting even though he had a heavy beard. Never going back.

The food was underwhelming and did not meet expectations. While there was a wide selection of beers, the service requires improvement to enhance the overall dining experience.

The music is quiet, the beef dip is soggy as hell, the nachos are not dissimilar, there’s no toilet paper in the washroom, the only good thing about this place is the waitress. She was lovely. Go her.
