The Duck Pond Eatery and Beer Garden

Great experience, food was really good. Pricing was appropriate for the location. I would recommend stopping at this place!

Fast friendly service.
Loved the blackened whitefish.
Ate here as a duel offer that goes with the grand island tour.
The tour was pretty awesome too.

Full disclosure, we had meal vouchers here as part of a vacation package. As part of a package, it’s a pretty good deal. As a stand alone restaurant I wouldn’t have gone back. We ate here 4 times with our vouchers. The best thing was the sweet potato tots. The worst was the whitefish, don’t even try. The staff is all welcoming. The beer selection is good. If it isn’t part of a vacation package, there’s better places around.

Food was good. Overpriced, but no more so than other places in the area. Waitress treated us like we were a huge inconvenience. I ordered a cocktail and I truly believe there may have been about a teaspoonful of liquor in it. Overall not welcoming at all and not fun.

Good food. Incredible beer selection!
They were a little short staffed mid-afternoon until the evening shift showed up.
If it's raining they don't have much indoor seating.

Service is very slow and waitresses are quite rude and treat you as an inconvenience. When paying for our bill in cash, we watched the waitress put our change in her apron at the register. We had to literally ask for our change back. Unacceptable. The only saving grace is that the food is decent and the outdoor seating is nice. They seriously need to get new staff or do some major overhauling of service standards.

Came in for dinner 40 minutes away ....... to wait over 30 minutes after seating ourselves outside and getting ourselves our own first beers from the bar to be created by no one outside so we left ! Sadly as we were looking forward to enjoying a fun experience at this place . We won't return or suggest it to others

Walked in as a tourist to visit the area and nobody greeted us. The place is small so legit everyone looked over. There is a please wait to be seated sign so my friend and I stood there and literally a minute later someone sitting and eating a meal said welcome in. We told them we had a dog and we could sit on the patio and just order to go if that was okay and she walked off without saying anything. Then handed us menus and looked us up and down. Then while looking at the menu the owner (?) presumably (an older woman) aside from the 2 children working there, kept looking back at my friend and I like they were gossiping... would have loved to try the food as it all sounded good but never got the chance. We left cause I'm not going to stand around and be talked about in a tiny establishment before I've even eaten. I wasn't rude, my friend wasn't rude, we were treated as such though. Not worth a visit.

We had dinner there because we purchased a dinner and cruise. Many options for meals. Can't go wrong with their whitefish sandwich. Service was great, attentive to our needs and checked on us several times. More restaurants should have staff like these.

Very low-key but quite delicious food. Would go back and have the whitefish again.

Cocktails very sugary, weak alcohol content. Multiple, of the very few, drafts beers were out. All servers were very blah, unfriendly, and almost unprofessional . They seemed unhappy there. Food was just ok. Disappointing experience overall.

Great whitefish taco! I ordered mine grilled on a corn tortilla with fries. My hubby had pulled pork tacos on corn tortillas with sweet potato tots. There is an outdoor area in the parking lot where you can sit and eat with your dog. Very handy for our travel day. Excellent service.
