Best fish and chicken around definitely a hidden gem

We used to love Midway Duck Inn but ever since the new owners took over, it’s gone down hill. I won’t lie, the food is tasty but the service is absolutely horrible. We’ve had more than one interaction with the owners and they’ve been extremely rude both times. Tonight’s dinner drew the line when we ordered for take out and it wasn’t ready for 30 more minutes after the designated pick up time. They forgot multiple items in the order and filled our side dish containers barely halfway full. Super disappointed and bummed with our negative experiences. Food is good but does not justify the bad service we receive.

Hidden gem of a restaurant 20 minutes north of East Peoria. Take the drive slow and enjoy the scenery of the Illinois River. Food is always excellent. (I get the pan fried chicken every time because it’s so good!). Drink specials are tasty and service is super friendly.

Amazing food and outstanding service!!

The food was amazing and the service was awesome. The waitress randie was very helpful soothing our toddler with crackers before she even got our drink order. The place was very busy but we never waited on anything. Very well managed

What a great destination for a meal or fun. We will be back during warmer weather to see the outdoor set up. Food was great, service was great and prices were awesome! Definitely worth the drive!

The service was on point. Being that it was my first time there, the server explained the menu. All their food is made in house, none of that premade frozen stuff. Food came out hot, and was seasoned correctly, it was flavorful not over powering.

Went for all you can eat fish and chips, it was great!!! Little different batter but it was gooood. The waitress was amazing and fun. I will definitely be going back and may just order the corn fritters... They have different kinds and you never know what it will be until you get there, tonight was chocolate chip!!! YUMMY KEEP UP THE GREAT JOB ALL!!! A MUST TRY
Best fried chicken around. Farm raised and huge! I always order the 1/2 mixed and can't finish it; doggie bag for home. Wife raved about the chicken tenders and waffle. And a bag of those delicious corn fritters.

We went to the restaurant for a nice early dinner. We have been to the establishment several times and have been very satisfied with the experience. This visit was not satisfying however. We ordered the fried chicken and when it arrived I noticed a fishy smell. It was the chicken. It both smelled and tasted fishy. When our server stopped by to check on us we pointed out the problem. She said she would talk to the cook. Upon her return, she asked if we wanted them to have them replace the dinner. We didn't want to wait for this so we said never mind. She took this message back to the kitchen. It was not our desire to make them cook another dinner. We just wanted them to know we were unhappy with the food. The manager didn't come out and say anything at all. The server was polite throughout. We paid our bill and left. It is unlikely we will return.

This was our first time at the Midway Duck Inn and it definitely won’t be our last. We weren’t sure what to expect, but we were pleasantly surprised. The vibe is great, nothing overly pretentious, but a nice, laid back, woodsy vibe. The service was excellent. I read about the duck wontons in other reviews and decided to give them a try. SO good! Since we were here for Valentine’s Day, we opted for the filet and lobster and the filet and shrimp. We weren’t sure what to expect getting lobster from a place in the middle of nowhere in central IL but it was fantastic! The steaks were cooked perfectly and the augratins were fantastic. The old fashioneds were great. There are very few restaurants/bars around here that make a good old fashioned. This will definitely be one of our new date night spots!
