Great menu with things you don’t see every day. Everything was amazing and the staff was very friendly. The homemade sodas were great. They don’t carry the usual Pepsi/Coke product products. They have communal seating which some people may not prefer, but it wasn’t bad. Definitely worth checking out.

Always over busy during season we tend to avoid unless we have visitors. Now that HH is back out of season we can hang here much more often. thank you for this. Josh is really good and most hospitable. The pimento board is super good and of course their fries. To benefit from the drinks HH pricing we will order a half price bottle wine next time and skip the full price beers $9+. I won't give a 5-star review to any restaurant charging us a kitchen appreciation fee of 3.5% and we make it a point to frequent much less. Winter HH pricing will make it all worthwhile.

Amazing French fries. They are friendly and the fries are so tasty and the poutine was the perfect mix of cheese and duck gravy. Loved the food and atmosphere.

This is a very trendy gastropub with limited seating indoors and a few seats on the sidewalk. I was really looking forward to their Belgian-style frites cooked in duckfat. Alas, it was a disappointment. It was $8 just for the smallest portion, but the cone that arrived had very few regular size fries and a lot of ends and nubs--like somebody had cleaned out the dregs of their hopper and then covered the burnt bits with way too much salt. I'm sorry, this is not acceptable for that premium price. I was already a bit miffed that frites are separate orders, and not included with the sandwiches. Speaking of the sandwich, I had the Cubano which was pretty good and almost redeemed my view of the joint. But then the bill arrived, and they had added a 3.5% 'kitchen appreciation fee' automtaically. The waitress did not tell me, nor do I recall seeing this on the menu, I just happened to see a note on the bill when wondering why a beer, small frites and sandwich came out at $38! Not at all impressed with this place--maybe they had an off day on the frites, but then the nickel and dime fees on top of high menu prices for a la carte dishes just make it completely not worth the trip.

Truly my favorite spot in Portland. Great service and great group of people running this place. Poutine with a duck egg or regular Belgian fries hit the spot every time. Every night in Portland requires stopping by Duckfat before heading back.

When winter is around, come to Duck fat for the best summer (waiter) service. The place had best vibe and ambience. Duck fat fries are special to order with caprese salad. Chicken Sandwiches are the best to order. Please do visit for the best food in Maine.

This was highly recommended and it was awful! The first with gravy were soggy and awful. My mom ordered a grilled cheese and it was cheese and bread. She mentioned it and said something to the waiter and he didn’t care at all. My dad and husband had the brisket sandwich but it was more like a bread sandwich because that’s all that was on it! The girl/waitress asked if my dad wanted a to go box and my dad said not really because I didn’t care for it and again this waitress didn’t seem to care! I don’t recommend! Ignore the TikTok video a steer clear of this place!

I'm not exaggerating when I say that these may be the best fries I've had in my entire life.

Okay, the fries are excellent but I have to say theirs are not any better than ones I’ve had elsewhere. And their sandwiches are underwhelming. Their grilled cheese sandwich is 2 thick slices of bread and hardly any cheese in between. Would not hurry to go back.

The French fries are the best ever! We got the duck confit poutine with and over easy egg on top and an extra side of plain fries. So, so good.
