Good selection of foods that are kid friendly along with plenty of flavorful options for adults. Menu is always evolving and there’s usually always a new special to try. This is my favorite restaurant in the Gun Lake community.“

I want to try their fish and the gluten free carrot cake that was sold out. The service was also very good!“

“McDuff’s is our absolute go-to!! Whenever we see Kiley and Heidi behind the bar, we know it’s going to be a fun and lighthearted experience ❤️ Honestly, we’ve never met a grumpy bartender here but the dynamic duo are our favorites!! If you’re looking for a bar that caters to you and makes you feel taken care of? Go to McDuff’s 🥰“

“When we lived in Plain well we loved this place! We came there tonight with friends and it was terrible l Food was called and when we complained the manager argued with us about how long we waited (We had reservations for 5:15) we didn't get our food until after 6! The manager said we had only been waiting an hour! Plus she made no attempt to warm up our food and just walked away! We drove 30 miles to get there and was treated terrible! Also there was an employee back in the kitchen that should of had his hair pulled back with hair down past his shoulders. We definitely will not be back!!“

“Great experience at the party room for a baby shower! Working with Keli was amazing. She was so accomidating and very helpful. Our server Casey was friendly and did a great job keeping the demanding ladies happy. The food was hot and delicious. Served was a buffet of appetizers, wings, meatballs, dunkers, spinich and artichoke dip, and brushette no one left hungry, and a good time was had by all!!“

“The 18% gratuity for "large party" mind you 2 kids (4 and 16) and 3 adults is what they consider large. Most families are 5 people, definitely was a turn off for me and my friend. Food definitely wasn't as good as it used to be and 3 people ended up sick and on the toilet the entire night. Dont order pountine tots theres pretty much no gravy on them and the blackened fish was slimy amd didn't taste right. Drinks were empty and had to wait forever for refills. Im a huge foodie so this was a let down. We all will not be going back.“

“Great food and great service..macie the waitress was wonderful. Will stop again when up in your area.“

“Although I do agree of the overall rating of the buffet being 3.7 stars, I do think some of the reviews were a bit extreme. Come to this buffet with the expectation for buffet food and I think you’ll enjoy the experience more. My boyfriend and I came after experiencing a Vegas buffet and wanted something like this in area. This was the closest to where we live. Considering the market price of prime rib and crab legs, we felt the price was fair.
The service was excellent.
Food wise, the crab legs needed little forks , it was difficult to dig the meat out but the overall taste was good - it was just messy and work.
My bf said the prime rib - although medium rare -was a bit dry.
The pizza despite being from a pizza oven was not good but I didn’t expect much, the cheese bread however was perfectly cheesy and gooey.
We skipped the salad bar but I did breeze past it and it looked fresh.
The Asian section and Italian sections disappointed the most. The Alfredo wasn’t good and was the only vegetarian option and the Asian could have benefited from sushi rolls.
We overall enjoyed the American/Chefs/Mexican sections.
The guacamole and beans were flavorful. My boyfriend enjoyed the chimichangas and we both loved the mashed potatoes (wish I had gotten a plate of them) there was also a baked potato with a build your toppings section that looked good. The Mac and cheese disappointed me though. Too dry.
Desserts - I truly saved the best for last. We filled a plate up of one of everything so we could sample it all. The strawberry mousse was so light and fluffy, the espresso cupcake (which was my fav) was rich and flavorful, and my boyfriend devoured the strawberry cheesecake. Every bite we had of the desserts was enjoyable though.

I’m not sure if we would come back, maybe on a non crab leg day, but I did truly overall enjoy the experience.“
